Languages and language use

The ER (Jessica Keiser) is an early career researcher. The focus of her research to this point has been the philosophy of language, specifically metasemantics. The research goal of the project is to develop an account of the nature of language and language use (explained below) which reduces these phenomena to facts about the actions and mental states of language users. This project builds on the ER’s existing research expertise, but with the support of the host institution (University of Leeds) and the supervisor (Professor Robert Williams), the project will broaden the purview of her research by integrating it with empirical research in linguistics and evolutionary psychology, as well as core areas of philosophy such as metaphysics and the philosophy of mind. It will advance her career at a crucial early stage by making a mark with a large scale project which offers offering novel and viable solutions to recalcitrant problems, and position her at the cutting edge of contemporary discussion.

The project has two main objectives: (1) to provide a novel metasemantic proposal, i.e., an account of what makes it the case that a community of speakers share a given language and (2) to provide a novel ontology of linguistic entities such as languages and expressions. The metasemantic proposal claims that populations speak the languages they do in virtue of conventions of locutionary action (using an utterance to direct attention). This proposal departs from the traditional conception of language as grounded in illocutionary action (using an utterance to elicit a propositional attitude), and overcomes problems concerning indeterminacy and nonliteral speech that were problematic for traditional accounts. The metaphysical proposal uses the tools and framework from metasemantic account to provide an ontology of the linguistic entities it is committed to. It moves away from standard approaches by using communicative actions (rather than the products of those actions e.g., sound
Breathing dynamics in health and disease: how consciousness shape respiratory patterns

Breathing is perhaps the most vital physiological function, and it is occurring mainly unconsciously. Yet, despite the deceptive simplicity of breathing, it is an intricate behaviour influence by conscious top-down control and vigilance state. How consciousness shape breathing? What are the neural mechanisms underlying conscious control of breathing? Can breathing dynamics indicate on conscious awareness? We aim to address these questions by employing basic and clinical neuroscience approaches in combination with electrophysiology, neuroimaging and advanced computational tools. Disorders of consciousness (DOC) including vegetative state (VS)/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) offer a unique model to investigate the relationship between consciousness and breathing, by providing a rare opportunity for cross-sectional and longitudinal tracking of breathing dynamics during recovery of consciousness. In the proposed research, we first aim to characterize the interaction between breathing and consciousness state. To do this we will record continues respiration during 24-hour from healthy individuals and DOC patients. Next, we intend to elucidate the neural mechanism underlying conscious regulation of breathing, by recording electroencephalogram (EEG) and functional resonance magnetic imaging (fMRI) activity during a multimodal (olfaction, audition and vision) paradigm designed to consciously and unconsciously trigger respiratory change. Last, we plan to investigate whether breathing dynamics can be used as a diagnostic and potentially prognostic tool to detect awareness in DOC patients, by developing an automated respiratory-based classifier differentiating between UWS and MCS patients. The significance of this study is two-fold; addressing fundamental questions in breathing regulation, and utilizing the interplay between basic physiological function and consciousness to better human condition.
Pseudospin symmetry in single-particle resonances in spherical square wells

The pseudospin symmetry (PSS) has been studied extensively for bound states. Recently we justified rigorously that the PSS in single particle resonant states is exactly conserved when the attractive scalar and repulsive vector potentials of the Dirac Hamiltonian have the same magnitude but opposite sign [PRL 109, 072501 (2012)]. To understand more deeply the PSS, we focus on several issues related to the exact conservation and breaking mechanism of the PSS in single particle resonances. In particular, we are interested in how the energy and width splittings of PS partners depend on the depth of the scalar and vector potentials. We investigate the asymptotic behaviors of radial Dirac wave functions. Spherical square well potentials are employed in which the PSS breaking part in the Jost function can be well isolated. By examining the zeros of Jost functions corresponding to small components of the radial Dirac wave functions, general properties of the PSS are analyzed. By examining the Jost function, the occurrence of intruder orbitals is explained and it is possible to trace continuously the PSS partners from the PSS limit to the case with a finite potential depth. The dependence of the PSS in resonances as well as in bound states on the potential depth is investigated systematically. We find a threshold effect in the energy splitting and an anomaly in the width splitting of pseudospin partners when the depth of the single particle potential varies from zero to a finite value. The conservation and the breaking of the PSS in resonant states and bound states share some similar properties. The appearance of intruder states can be explained by examining the zeros of Jost functions. Origins of the threshold effect in the energy splitting and the anomaly in the width splitting of PS partners, together with many other problems, are still open and should be further investigated.

Mapeamento digital para indicação preliminar de áreas suscetíveis a desastres mistos

Em muitas cidades brasileiras as prefeituras carecem de base cartográfica organizada e de recursos humanos especializados para elaboração de mapeamento digital como apoio à gestão e ao planejamento de áreas propícias aos desastres mistos. Neste artigo apresenta-se a investigação para gerar base digital de dados cartográficos como apoio à identificação de áreas suscetíveis a desastres mistos, e como suporte ao planejamento e gestão urbana. O desafio foi o uso de documentos cartográficos em multiescalas e multiresoluções espaciais disponibilizados em órgãos públicos para gerar mapas temáticos e análises de áreas suscetíveis a enchentes, alagamentos e erosões na cidade de São João del-Rei, localizada no estado de Minas Gerais. A fundamentação teórica e metodológica adotada foi a Teoria Geral dos Sistemas aplicada à Geografia, e os procedimentos incluíram a geração de mapas temáticos, mapeamento espaço-temporal da área urbana, sobreposição de mapas, coleta e análise de dados primários e secundários. Os resultados indicaram a consolidação e a expansão urbana para áreas suscetíveis a enchentes, alagamentos e erosões. O mapeamento e a análise conjunta de dados primários e secundários mostraram-se adequados e de baixo custo para a indicação de suscetibilidades aos desastres mistos no sítio urbano, tanto em áreas já consolidadas como em áreas em processo de expansão.
119 Current Practices in High and Low Volume Centers Regarding Corporotomy Localization During Penoscrotal Inflatable Penile Implant Surgery

ABSTRACT Introduction Literature concerning corporotomy location in multi-component inflatable penile prosthetic surgery via a penoscrotal approach is scarce if not non-existent. However, corporotomy location represents an important issue that may influence immediate and long-term outcomes regarding patient and partner satisfaction as well as device durability. Objective To report practices in low- and high-volume penile implant centers regarding corporotomy location. Methods Data from 18 (13 European and 5 American) implant centers were collected retrospectively between September 1st, 2018 and August 31st, 2019. Variables included: intraoperative proximal and distal corpus cavernosum length measurement, total corporal length measurement, total penile implant cylinder length, and length of rear tip extenders. Additionally, patient characteristics, indication for penile implant, operative time, type of implant utilized, reservoir characteristics and short term complications were reported. Results 809 virgin penile implant cases were included in the analysis. Mean age of participants was 61.5 +/- 9.6 years old. In total, 299 AMS 700TM (Boston Scientific) and 510 Coloplast Titan® devices were implanted. The mean proximal/distal corporal measurement ratio during corporotomy was 0.93 +/- 0.29. A statistically significant correlation between lower proximal /distal measurement ratio and higher age (p=0.0013), lower BMI (p&amp;lt;0.0001), use of rear tip extenders (RTE) (p=0.04), lower RTE length (p&amp;lt;0.0001) and absence of diabetes (p=0.0004) was reported. In a 3-month follow up period 49 complications and 37 revision procedures were reported. Conclusions This is the first study reporting and evaluating the current practices regarding corporotomy location during IPP placement in a multicenter cohort, particularly when including such a high number of patients. Nevertheless, the retrospective design limits the study outcomes. Even in experienced hands proximal length measurement in relation to distal length measurement in penoscrotal IPP surgery is in many cases sub-optimal, particularly when the tubing-cylinder connection of each device is taken into account.

Bio-electric potentials in superior plants: electric collective behaviour

ABSTRACT Electrical activity is used by plants in long term signalling and information transfer between the distant parts of the plant. Biopotential recordings from trees in a natural environment have been so far less discussed in scientific literature. Here we present our data about the open science experiment TRee-hUMAn iNterface (TRUMAN) located in Paneveggio forest (Valle di Fiemme, Trento, Italy), cultivated since one thousand years for the production of harmonic wood from Picea abies (red fir). We show that: i) biopotential features based on xylem can be correlated with the solar (and lunar) cycle ii) dead tree logs show an electrical activity that is correlated with that of neighbouring trees iii) statistical features of the spike-like peaks are evidenced, including amplitude, frequency, propagation speed, entropy iv) a quantum field theory is presented to highlight the collective behaviour of the forest, supported by preliminar correlation analyses between electrical signal Kolmogorov entropy and thermographies Shannon entropy.
Molecular control of dna replication timing in mammalian cells

DNA replication is an essential process ensuring the transmission of genetic information and is highly regulated. Specifically, the DNA replication-timing program ensures that the sites of initiation of DNA replication, termed origins, are not all activated simultaneously but follow a cell-type specific schedule. This pathway is conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution, however its molecular control and biological role are not fully understood. In this proposal I aim to understand key aspects of replication-timing program by employing a combination of advanced mouse genetics, genomics, cell biology and proteomics. Currently one of the major limitations in the mammalian DNA replication field is the elusive identity of origins. I aim to comprehensively map origins in a variety of mouse cells/tissues and relate the regulation of origin firing to the control of gene expression and three-dimensional nuclear architecture. I have discovered that Rif1 controls replication timing and links it to nuclear three-dimensional organization. I have also revealed the existence of a novel Rif1-independent pathway that controls the timing of a significant fraction of the late-replicating genome, identified by constitutive association with a key nuclear architecture component, Lamin B1. Here, I propose complementary approaches to understand the molecular mechanism by which Rif1 coordinates replication timing and nuclear organization as well as the molecular underpinnings of the novel pathway instructing late-replication in Lamin B1-associated regions. Finally, my goal is to understand the in vivo biological role of the replication-timing program. Our preliminary data identify mammalian X inactivation as a process where replication timing may play a fundamental part. My ultimate objective is to contribute to the realization of a comprehensive understanding of nuclear function, integrating the co-regulation of DNA replication with gene expression, epigenetic inheritance and DNA repair.

Shoulder ring installation tools

A shoulder ring, for installation in a threaded pipe coupling between the installed pin ends of two pipes being connected by the coupling, has opposing end faces and a central opening, and may be lobate or circular in shape. The shoulder ring provides enhanced axial retention within the coupling by incorporating a thread element which engages the internal threads of the coupling to prevent or deter displacement of the ring from the coupling. Alternatively, enhanced axial retention may be provided by means of an interference or interlocking fit that is plastically induced during the ring installation process. The shoulder ring may be of lobate or circular configuration, with the axial retention of lobate embodiments being further enhanced by forces acting radially outward against the coupling due to elastic deformation of the ring during installation. Also disclosed are tools for installing the shoulder rings in a threaded coupling.
IMPLEMENTASI KEBIJAKAN PAJAK AIT TANAH DI KOTA TEGAL (KAJIAN PERDA NOMOR 2 TAHUN 2011 TENTANG PAJAK AIR TANAH)

Groundwater tax is one type that is managed by the local tax . Tax groundwater previously managed by the provincial government then managed entirely by local governments as a form of decentralization . Implementation of tax policy at Tegal ground water is fully regulated in Regulation No. 2 of 2011 About Tax Groundwater . Authorized agency in terms of tax collection and management of ground water is Revenue Service, Management, Finance and Public Asset ( DPPKAD). Local regulations governing the issuance of tax policy groundwater is one of the efforts to preserve and control of groundwater use , so that it can be used on an ongoing basis and the tax function as a source of income to finance a useful area for regional development. This study aims to explain how tax policy implementation groundwater management in Tegal and identify aspects that support and hinder the implementation of tax policy groundwater managed by DPPKAD Tegal and is expected to become an input for implementing this policy. Supporting and inhibiting aspects identified aspects of the phenomenon of financial resources, economic conditions, social and political society, communication, and characteristics of the implementing agency. This is a descriptive qualitative study, using snowballing sampling technique. This study shows that the implementation of the groundwater tax already well proven with the successful achievement of the groundwater tax revenue , but there are some obstacles in its implementation. Many inhibiting factors that affect the implementation of groundwater tax collection, there are limited budget, yet comprehensive level of consciousness by taxpayer, and the lack of participation of the taxpayer and lack of socialization because DPPKAD has never held a formal socialization.
Structural and spectroscopic studies of a commercial glassy carbon

Abstract Glassy carbon is a form of carbon made by heating a phenolic resin to high temperature in an inert atmosphere. It has been suggested that it is composed of fullerene-like structures. The aim of the present work was to characterize the material using both structural (neutron diffraction and transmission electron microscopy) and spectroscopic (inelastic neutron scattering, Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies) methods. We find no evidence to support the suggestion of fullerene-like material being present to a significant extent, rather the model that emerges from all of the techniques is that the material is very like amorphous carbon, consisting of regions of small graphite-like basic structural units of partly stacked but mismatched structure with the edges terminated by hydrogen or hydroxyls. We do find evidence for the presence of a small quantity of water trapped in the network and suggest that this may account for batch-to-batch variation in properties that may occur.

MEDESS-4MS service is dedicated to the maritime risks prevention and strengthening of maritime safety related to oil spill pollution in the Mediterranean. The main goal of MEDESS-4MS is to deliver an integrated operational multi model oil spill prediction service in the Mediterranean, connected to existing oil spill monitoring platforms (EMSA-CSN, REMPEC and AIS data), using well established oil spill modeling systems, the environmental data from the GMES European Marine Service and the MS national ocean forecasting systems. The overall objectives of the project are: - To implement an integrated real time oil spill multi -model prediction service for the Mediterranean - To implement an interconnected network of data repositories that will archive and provide in operational way access to all available environmental and oil spill data - To develop an integrated user interface system with a unique Web point providing an interactive access to the different multi-model service scenarios, to suit the requirements of EMSA-CSN, REMPEC and the generic users. - To test the service functionalities with -key end-users': REMPEC, EMSA and other end-users such as national agencies combating oil spills and private profit commercial companies. MEDESS-4MS does not aim at developing new elementary service chains but will integrate and consolidate the existing ones, based on the experience gained through the interaction with operational response agencies, REMPEC and EMSA during real oil spill incidents in the region and the demonstrations and inter-calibration exercises carried out in the framework of EC projects. The proposal consists from 6 WPs: WP1 Project Management WP2 Information and awareness raising WP3 Capitalisation and long lasting effects WP4 To improve the evaluation and the monitoring of risks WP5 To strengthen common analytical and planning tools WP6 To compare and strengthen operational intervention systems All the activities in MEDESS4MS will be carried out in order to establish a sustainable integrated multi model oil spill prediction service consortium and partners expertise, operational response agencies, international and European organizations and areas of responsibility, are well established to reach the project objectives. Seven of the project partners are operating during the last 10 years forecasting centers, while six partners are providing individually oil spill predictions at local and sub-regional level, in close cooperation with their national operational response agencies.
Evaluation of the vectorial capacity of Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Acari: Ixodidae) in the transmission of canine visceral leishmaniasis

The vectorial capacity of Rhipicephalus sanguineus in the transmission of canine visceral leishmaniasis has been evaluated through a laboratory-controlled experiment. One healthy Leishmania-free dog and two dogs naturally infected with Leishmania were infested with R. sanguineus in various stages of development. Engorged larvae, unfed nymphs, engorged nymphs, unfed adults, engorged female adults and fed male adults were collected from the experimental animals and examined for Leishmania infection by optical microscopy, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and parasite culture. Leishmania forms were not detected in any of the 433 smears prepared from engorged colonies nor in any of the 118 smears prepared from unfed colonies. However, one flagellate structure was identified in one of the smears. All pools of R. sanguineus that had fed on the infected dogs tested PCR-positive for Leishmania DNA, with the single exception of the pool of engorged larvae. In contrast, all pools of ticks that had fed on the Leishmania-free dog were PCR-negative. Leishmania growth was not observed in any of the tick colonies following incubation on culture medium. Considering that no Leishmania forms were identified in any of the meticulously analysed smears derived from engorged colonies of R. sanguineus, it appears somewhat unlikely that the maintenance and multiplication of Leishmania occurs within the tick.
Assessing Algebraic Solving Ability: A Theoretical Framework

Algebraic solving ability had been discussed by many educators and researchers. There exists no definite definition for algebraic solving ability as it can be viewed from different perspectives. In this paper, the nature of algebraic solving ability in terms of algebraic processes that demonstrate the ability in solving algebraic problem is discussed. A theoretical framework of algebraic solving ability was formulated based on three phases of algebraic processes, historical development of algebra and SOLO model (Structured of the Observed Learning Outcome). The three phases of algebraic processes included investigating the pattern by collecting the numerical data, representing and generalizing the pattern into a table and an equation, and interpreting and applying the equation to the related or new situation. There are four levels (unistructural, multistructural, relational and extended abstract) of structure response of SOLO model that had been applied to assess students’ algebraic solving ability incorporate two content domains of algebraic equation, namely direct variation and inverse variation.
