Authors: Sari Fransisca Mulya , Sugiman Sugiman
Published: November 2024

The population density in Semarang City is increasing every year. This requires more potential land to build houses to accommodate the denser population. There are various kinds of house prices based on specifications in Semarang City. This requires the right prediction to get the desired house. This study implements and compares the performance of Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and Random Forest Regression (RFR) models to predict house prices in Semarang City. The method used in this research is CRISP-DM (Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining) as a data mining process. The data used in this research amounted to 9533 data with 8 variables obtained by web scraping. The data will go through a data preprocessing process then training the model. Next is the evaluation stage, which is carried out to measure the performance of the two models using evaluation metrics, namely R-Squared (prediction accuracy), MSE (Mean Squared Error), and RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error). The results of this study show that the MLR model obtained a prediction accuracy 61.1% with a training and testing data division ratio of 75%: 25%. While the RFR model produces a prediction accuracy 78.4% with a training and testing data division ratio of 90%: 10%. This shows that the RFR model is the best performing model. This research successfully applied the RFR model to the streamlit web framework. The final result of this research is a website that can be used by the public to predict house prices according to criteria in Semarang City.

Authors: Purnamasari Agustria , Agoestanto Arief
Published: November 2024

Technological developments have changed the way people access information and share opinions through the internet and social media such as X (Twitter). Public sentiment is now crucial in evaluating public services, especially in the era of advanced information technology. As a metropolitan city, public transportation in DKI Jakarta plays an important role in economic, business and government activities. The Jaklingko initiative launched by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government aims to provide efficient and affordable public transportation. This research implements and compares Naive Bayes and Decision Tree classification methods to perform sentiment analysis of twitter users opinions regarding Jaklingko into positive and negative categories. Data was collected by crawling using tweet_harvest which obtained 6001 tweets about Jaklingko, then text preprocessing was carried out. Word weighting is done using the TF-IDF method to give value to each term in the document, and sentiment labeling is done using the Vader Lexicon library. The data is divided into training and testing data with a ratio of 80%:20% for the classification process. Evaluation of the method is done using confusion matrix. The results showed that the accuracy of Naive Bayes reached 84.9%
and Decision Tree reached 84.2%. The wordcloud visualization depicts negative words including vehicle stoppage, bad driver attitude, and envy from people in other cities. Meanwhile, positive words included free system, useful programs, and user convenience. This research provides an in-depth understanding of public opinion towards Jaklingko, with potential implications for improving public transportation services in Jakarta.

Published: November 2024

It is of great importance to conduct validity and reliability testing in a study in order to ascertain the feasibility and effectiveness of the instruments employed. In this study, an analysis is required to ascertain the results of the validity and reliability tests on mathematical critical thinking skills utilising the SPSS and Winsteps applications. The research method employed was quantitative survey research, with a total of 133 high school students in the Jakarta and Depok areas comprising the sample population. The instrument designed to assess critical thinking skills comprises four indicators. The validity test on the mathematical critical thinking ability instrument with the SPSS application indicates that one value (value 11) is invalid, as evidenced by the Pearson correlation value. However, the remaining values meet the requirements for validity. The reliability value obtained through SPSS yielded a result of α = 0.75. The same results are observed when the Winsteps application is employed. One value (value 11) is identified as invalid, while the remaining values meet the criteria for the MNSQ outfit value, ZSTD outfit, and PTMEA-CORR. In addition, the reliability results obtained using Winsteps yielded a Cronbach's Alpha coefficient value of 0.87, indicating a high degree of reliability.

Published: November 2024

the article is devoted to the consideration of the functions of myth and folklore in modern fantasy literature. The relevance of the work is due to the need to clarify and concretize the role of national mythology in the formation
of the aesthetic system of transcultural literature.
Objective: to identify the role of the Mari national mythology in the creation of the “poetics of the extraordinary”, which
is most fully realized in the fantasy genre.
Research materials: the novel “The Last Time” by Shamil Idiatullin (2020), the artistic basis of which is Mari mythology and folklore.
Results and novelty of the research: it is revealed that the fabulous and mythological model of the world was comprehensively manifested in the nomination of its main character – the ancient people of Mary. Falling into the sphere of a
conditional, fictional reality, the Mari people, as well as their spatial localization (the novel mentions reserved and sacred
groves, numerous rivers and meadows of this amazing land) are rethought and transformed, obeying the genre laws of ethnofantastic narration. The poetics of the extraordinary is most fully revealed in the implicit opposition of images associated
with waterfowl (Ivy, Chepi, Pozanay, Mother Goose), which genetically go back to the cosmogonic myth and a predatory
bird (Koshshe). It is proved that in the novel “The Last Time” the patterns of functioning of mythological images and motifs
characteristic of transcultural literature are appeared. At the heart of the mythopoeic picture of the world, which is created not
only in the context of Mari traditions, but also Tatar, there is interference – linguistic, cultural, aesthetic. Codes dating back to
different national-artistic and cultural-historical systems are layered on top of each other and generate meanings relevant to
the borderline type of artistic creation, which are saturated with the nomination of characters and natural images, plot events
and their interpretation, the motivation of the actions of the characters, the genre nature of the fantasy novel.
The novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time an attempt to identify the meaning-forming functions of the
mythological component of the text is made.
Toponymy of the village Stepnaya Shentalа and its surroundings: lexical and semantic analysis
Authors:   Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education, Belenov N.V.
Published: November 2024

the article presents a lexical and semantic analysis of the toponymy of the village Stepnaya Shentala in
the Koshkinsky District of Samara Oblast. Considering a number of aspects of the historical past of the Erzya population
of Stepnaya Shentala, it is interesting to correlate the results obtained with the materials of the author’s research in such
Erzya villages as Staraya Shentala, Staraya Besovka, Novaya Karmala, Staroe Vechkanovo. The article also provides a
comparative analysis of the toponymy data of Stepnaya Shentala with the corresponding elements of other Erzya toponymic
spaces of the Samara Volga region and adjacent territories.
Objective: to identify the common and special in toponymy of the village of Stepnaya Shentala in comparison with the
toponymic space of villages Staraya Shentala, Novaya Karmala, Staraya Besovka, Staroe Vechkanovo.
231
Bulletin of Ugric Studies. Vol. 14. № 2 (57). 2024.
Research materials: the author’s own field materials collected during expeditions to the Erzya villages of Samara and
Ulyanovsk regions, dictionaries of geographical names of these regions, dictionaries of the corresponding languages and
linguistic reference materials.
Results and novelty of the research: for the first time, a comprehensive study of the toponymy of the Stepnaya Shentala
was conducted; 24 geographical names were introduced into scientific circulation; additional materials on previously studied
toponyms (in particular, on the Shentala oikonym) were provided.
The formularity and system of appellatives in the structure of the toponyms of Mordovia-Erzya Stepnaya Shentala
demonstrates the proximity with similar elements of the toponymic spaces of Staraya Besovka, Novaya Karmala, Staroe
Vechkanovo and, at the same time, differs significantly from those in Staraya Shental. At the same time, it should be noted
that the linguistic influence of the settlers who founded the Stepnaya Shentala from the Staraya Shentala was not significantly
reflected in the local toponymic nomenclature.
The relevance of the study is dictated by the need to quickly fix the toponymic material of the Erzya dialects of the
Samara Oblast, which are undergoing rapid processes of substitution and russification.

Published: November 2024

the article considers the phraseological units of the Moksha language, which are an important means of
linguistic realization of emotions and reflect the features of a person’s internal emotional life, his feelings and experiences.
Objective: to analyze emotive phraseological units of the Moksha language from the point of view of their lexical and
semantic content.
Research materials: the emotive phraseological units extracted from the phraseological dictionary of the Moksha
language, colloquial speech of native speakers, as well as literary texts of Mordovian writers in which these units function.
Results and novelty of the research: until now, the linguistic representation of emotions through phraseological units
has not become the subject of special study in Mordovian linguistics. However, the material shows that emotive phraseology,
being an important and richest component of the vocabulary of any language, is characterized by nationally specific features
of the reflection of emotions.
The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that it presents a semantic analysis of emotive phraseological units of
the Moksha language from the position of reflecting in them the cultural and psychological characteristics of its speaker.
The main attention is paid to determining the semantics of the stable units under consideration and their classification based
on the thematic principle. It is noted that a significant role in the representation of emotions is given to phraseological units
with a somatic component, which express various emotional relationships and states (happiness, joy, love, fear, anger, etc.).
Correlation of parts of a sentence and phraseological units in the Erzya language
Authors:   Mordovian State Pedagogical University, Vodyasova L.P.
Published: November 2024

the article considers phraseological units (semantically close to a word), which can structurally correspond
to such syntactic constructions as a whole sentence, a phrase (subordinating or coordinating) or a case-postpositional
combination.
Objective: to establish correlations of phraseological units with members of a sentence as part of syntactic constructions.
Research materials: phraseological units extracted from bilingual Erzya-Russian and phraseological dictionaries;
contexts with phraseological units from works of fiction by Mordovian authors in the Erzya language.
Results and novelty of the research: for the first time in Mordovian linguistics, the article presents the correlation of
members of a sentence and phraseological units on the material of the Erzya language. Using a system-functional approach
259
Bulletin of Ugric Studies. Vol. 14. № 2 (57). 2024.
within the contextual analysis methodology, the main patterns of the syntactic functioning of phraseological units are analyzed.
Phraseological units corresponding to a whole sentence, phrase or case-postpositional combination are fixed. It is indicated
that a phraseological unit is fully revealed only in context, so identifying its syntactic functions becomes important. Analysis
of theoretical and illustrative material allowed us to come to the conclusion that it can perform the function of all members of a
sentence. To the least extent (even for a substantive phraseological unit), it has the function of a subject, since in its semantics
it is most often a predicate word, but this allows it to often function as a predicate. As part of a sentence, a phraseological unit
can be isolated from other members of the sentence, perform the function of a generalizing word, be included in a number of
homogeneous members, create predicative parts in conjunctionless complex sentences, act as the main or subordinate part of a
compound sentence

the article is devoted to the variation of graphics and orthography of the Sosva dialect of the modern
Mansi language, which is part of the Northern dialect and is the basis of the written and literary language.
Objective: identification and description of the graphic and orthographic variation of the modern Mansi literary language
(Sosva dialect).
Research materials: lexical units of the Sosva dialect of the Northern dialect of the Mansi language that have more than
one spelling variant.
Results and novelty of the research: the article for the first time in modern Mansi linguistics considers the issue of
graphic and orthographic variation. The relevance of the research is due to the specifics of graphic and orthographic norms
and difficulties that arise in choosing variant spellings.
The article examines the linguistic content of variation and the norm related to spelling; provides examples of variant
spellings, on the basis of which zones of orthography instability are identified. It has been revealed that graphic variation
currently consists solely in spelling words with allophones c’ – sch.
In realization of the orthography norms, the most significant contradictions are presented in choosing of the variants of
the joined-up, separate or hyphenated spelling of words, phonetic and morphological variants, uppercase or lowercase letters
in complex and compound anthroponyms, spelling of borrowed words.
The practical significance of the discussion of this issue lies in the fact that its results will contribute to the development
of linguistic variability and normative studies and can be used in the development of a typology of the orthographic variants,
a new set of rules for graphics and orthography of the Mansi language based on unified norms, in compiling dictionaries of
the Mansi language.
The emotive space of S. S. Dinislamova’s lyrics (on the material of the book “My Quiet Happiness”)
Authors:   Ob-Ugric Institute of Applied Researches and Development, Kosintseva E.V.
Published: November 2024

the article is devoted to the study of the emotive category in the poetic work of S. S. Dinislamova and
fits into the complex of studies of Russian literary criticism concerning the problems of studying the author’s picture of the
world. The work actualizes the question of the specifics of the creative work of women poets.
Objective: to identify the range of emotions in S. S. Dinislamova’s poetic texts and to reveal the features of their
representation in the author’s picture of the world.
Research materials: the poetic book by S. S. Dinislamova “My Quiet Happiness”.
Results and novelty of the research: for the first time, the work comprehends the emotive space of S. S. Dinislamova’s
lyrical works. The results of the study show that happiness, joy, sadness, melancholy, rejection of humility, confusion form
the emotional complex of the poetry collection “My Quiet Happiness”. All emotional states are a reaction to the realities of
the surrounding reality.
Happiness in S. S. Dinislamova’s lyrics is represented explicitly, its markers are associated with various senses. The
poet’s father’s house, mother, native land, and the Sosva River are included in the emotional space of happiness, which
280
Вестник угроведения. Т. 14. № 2 (57). 2024.
is associated with harmony, sun, warmth, and peace. Representation of joy takes place through the seasons. The “spring –
autumn” model is associatively transferred to the “joy – sadness” model.
Sadness and melancholy are represented in the texts with the images of the mother, the motif of loss and autumn. These
emotions are associated with tears, rain, loneliness in the poet’s lyrics. Tropes and stylistic figures enhance the perception of
the emotional series at the linguistic level of the author’s poetic texts.
Causes of a word breakage in spontaneous Komi speech

Published: November 2024

the article devoted to the analysis of the causes of a word breakage in spontaneous Komi speech, as well
as to identification of typical causes of this type of failure in the speech of speakers of different-structured languages.
Objective: to identify and describe the causes of a word breakage in spontaneous Komi speech, to compare the causes in
spontaneous Komi and Russian speech.
Research materials: audio- and video-recordings contained in the Komi Media Library of the Interregional Laboratory
of Information Support for the Functioning of Finno-Ugric Languages, as well as fragments of conversations of participants
in programs shown in the Komi Republican television channel “Yurgan”.
Results and novelty of the research: the article for the first time analyzes the causes of a word breakage in spontaneous
Komi speech. It has been identified that in spontaneous Komi speech a word breakage can be caused by various causes. To
a greater extent, it is due to problems of a lexical-semantic nature – the choice and search for a specific lexical unit, and to
a lesser extent – the determination of the grammatical and phonetic form of a word. It was found that in spontaneous Komi
and Russian speech, a word breakage can be caused by the same reasons, including the choice between synonymous or
semantically similar words that differ in the sphere of use; the choice between grammatical and phonetic options; lexical,
289
Bulletin of Ugric Studies. Vol. 14. № 2 (57). 2024.
phonetic and grammatical clause; introduction of additional information; error in the preceding word, hesitation. In the
spontaneous speech of a speaker who is equally proficient in two languages (native and non-native) and two forms (literary
and dialectal) of the same language, a word breakage can also be caused by bilingualism and diglossia, which is typical for
the vast majority of native Komi speakers.

Published: November 2024

En áreas rurales ribereñas de Córdoba (Argentina) se reportaron procesos de degradación de ecosistemas y avance de la frontera agrícola, potenciando la ocurrencia de inundaciones en centros urbanos. La evaluación de la vulnerabilidad contribuye al conocimiento del riesgo y está condicionada por características del terreno y localización geográfica. El objetivo es determinar la vulnerabilidad ambiental en áreas rurales del ambiente fluvial Ctalamochita mediante factores formadores del suelo (geomorfología, material originario, clima, biota y tiempo pedogenético) y el factor antrópico (indicadores e índices de calidad del suelo). Se utilizaron valores normalizados para cada sitio muestreado por Subunidad Ambiental y se obtuvo un mapa de vulnerabilidad ambiental. Los resultados explican que en la Faja Fluvial el relieve, pendientes del 1-3 %, vegetación nativa y tiempo pedogenético condicionan la susceptibilidad. En cambio en la Paleollanura de Inundación depende de la vegetación nativa, pendientes del 0-5 % y moderada calidad de suelos. Las amenazas ambientales provienen del uso y manejo del suelo (agricultura y ganadería) y de procesos geológicos como inundaciones, anegamientos y erosión de márgenes del río Ctalamochita. El conocimiento de la vulnerabilidad ambiental contribuye al ordenamiento territorial y evaluación de riesgos ambientales regionales.
Correlation between melatonin and vitamin D3 deficiency in Iraqi female patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome
Authors: Jamel E.J.
Published: November 2024

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common hyperandrogenic disorder in women and one of the leading causes of anovulatory infertility. Depletion of vital hormones in the organism, such as in the case of PCOS, has been identified as one factor contributing to poor pregnancy outcomes and associated issues in women. Vitamin D level in PCOS patients regulates fertility through membrane-bound receptors in oocytes, regulating luteinizing hormone (LH), and progesterone surges.The objective. To examine the correlation between melatonin and vitamin D3 deficiency in Iraqi pregnant women with PCOS under the age of 40.Material and methods. Two hundred women were recruited for the study and divided into two groups: patients with PCOS (n=100) and healthy females without PCOS (n=100). All participants were administered medical questionnaires, and their body mass index (BMI) was determined. Blood samples from participants were obtained for biochemical analysis to assess follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), melatonin, and vitamin D levels.Results. The results revealed that 65% of PCOS patients were between 20 and 30 years old and healthy control persons did not show any variations based on age. Patients with PCOS had significantly (p<0.001) higher levels of LH and FSH (1.98±0.07 nmol/mL and 11.15±0.25 mIU/L, respectively) compared with healthy controls (1.06±0.02 nmol/mL and 6.67±0.25 mIU/L, respectively). The PCOS group had significantly (p≤0.01) reduced mean vitamin D3 level related to the control group. There was no significant correlation between vitamin D3 and melatonin levels in the PCOS group. The study showed that BMI was significantly higher in women with PCOS compared to healthy women. The study also found a positive relationship between BMI and AMH concentration, as well as between FSH and vitamin D3 levels in women with PCOS. However, there was no association between vitamin D3 and melatonin or BMI. Conclusion: The study found that D3 deficiency is a significant component in female PCOS patients that might be a new biomarker for PCOS in Iraqi women.

Authors: Ilnarail Narka , Wetherfield Lucas , Dreyfus Arabella , Lichtenstein Noah , Carmichael Madeleine
Published: November 2024

Innovative methodologies in linguistic model architecture have emerged as critical solutions to addressing challenges in scalability, semantic coherence, and contextual adaptation. The introduction of hierarchical mechanisms enables multi-level synthesis of semantic representations, achieving greater alignment across diverse linguistic contexts. A novel gradient-based approach further enhances adaptability through dynamic redistribution of computational focus on contextually relevant features, significantly reducing training inefficiencies. Recursive refinement processes integrated within the architecture allow for iterative optimization, ensuring consistent performance in generating complex, context-sensitive outputs. Empirical evaluations demonstrate notable advancements in cross-domain adaptability, with significant gains observed in legal, medical, and technical language applications. Robustness against noise and efficiency in token utilization highlight the scalability of the proposed framework for deployment in resource-constrained environments. Comparative analyses reveal consistent outperformance of baseline models in metrics of semantic similarity, coherence, and computational efficiency. The proposed methodology contributes to a deeper understanding of hierarchical linguistic structures while offering practical pathways for scalable and domain-specific applications. Quantitative and qualitative results underline its capacity to balance generalization and specialization without sacrificing operational efficiency. The integration of foundational innovations within a flexible implementation framework demonstrates its potential to redefine benchmarks in semantic intelligence. Results reveal transformative potential in harmonizing theoretical advancements with real-world linguistic challenges, demonstrating its applicability across both high-level research and industry-specific tasks. The methodology, validated across diverse datasets, establishes a novel paradigm for developing scalable and semantically precise architectures, offering new directions in the evolution of linguistic intelligence technologies.

Math Anxiety and Science Anxiety are Associated with Spatial Cognition and STEM Interest in Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Hearing People
Authors: Pizzie Rachel , Sortino Rachel , Kim Christina , Inghram Rachel
Published: November 2024

Students face a variety of challenges when pursuing education and careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. Many students experience decreased performance due to anxiety about quantitative concepts, namely math anxiety, science anxiety, and spatial anxiety. Although these anxieties are associated with decreased STEM performance, spatial skills have been associated with improved quantitative performance and better long-term outcomes. In this online study, we explored which factors would be associated with STEM outcomes in a population of deaf, hard of hearing (DHH), and hearing adults (N = 121). This population all had varying amounts of experience with a spatial language, American Sign Language, which might be associated with improved spatial skills. Participants completed a mental rotation task as a measure of spatial skills, and reported interest in STEM, in addition to completing other questionnaires on anxiety and spatial habits. Results suggest that math anxiety and science anxiety were significant predictors of mental rotation accuracy and interest in studying STEM, even when accounting for other visuospatial factors. This study suggests that for DHH and hearing populations alike, math and science anxiety are important factors that must be addressed for individuals to succeed in STEM.
The Quiet Ego: A Meta-Analytical Review
Authors: Rogawski Maren , Simonsmeier Bianca A. , Buecker Susanne
Published: November 2024

This preregistered meta-analytical review explored the construct validity and scope of the Quiet Ego (QE), a characteristic adaptation theorized to positively impact individual, societal and environmental well-being. The literature search in PsycInfo, ERIC and PubMed, conducted in July 2024, encompassed published and un-published original empirical data in English reporting standardized effect sizes for the bivariate relationship between the QE and various aspects of psychosocial functioning. In total, 273 zero-order Pearson correlations from 26 studies involving 13,391 participants were synthesized applying robust variance estimation. Results of visual and statistical analyses collectively indicate minimal evidence for publication bias. Accounting for the effect size direction of negative indicators of psychosocial functioning, the overall effect size was statistically significant and large in magnitude (r+ = 0.332, 95% CI [0.282, 0.380]). This suggests a substantial correlation between the QE and psychosocial qualities considered to promote healthy functioning in a world with others. A moderating effect was found for culture, but not for age or gender. Utilizing an organizational framework for human flourishing allowed for more nuanced insights. The findings showed that the QE aligns positively with flourishing-promoting facets of desire, wisdom and well-being. Thus, the present study underscored the broad relevance of the QE. Main limitations identified include limited variability in sample and study characteristics and a lack of data on moderator variables. Particularly, there is a need for further experimental research to causal-ly validate whether the QE truly acts as a pathway to individual and collective human flourishing.
Male Bias in Science and Ways to Counter it: Gender Imbalance of Images in a Science Textbook in Irish Secondary Education
Authors: Politis Yurgos
Published: November 2024

There has been a steady decline of student take-up of physics as a Leaving Certificate subject, from 19% in 1991 to 13.6% in 2021. This comes in the backdrop of a projected increase in the international demand for STEM workers, which makes STEM education the bedrock for securing Ireland’s economic future. The gender bias in science textbooks is well documented and enduring. The lack of female representation in science textbooks’ images is exacerbated by the scarcity of female figures that would be broadly accepted as role models. This paper examines the gender balance of a science textbook used widely in the Irish junior cycle. For this purpose, the Gender Bias 14 Tool was chosen as the data collection instrument, which was developed by Parkin and Mackenzie. A clear majority of the 38 chapters of the book contain more images/illustrations with male than female figures, more images/illustrations that improve the image of men and more images/illustrations of male role models. Potential interventions are outlined including working closely with publishers to include more women in the textbook’s images, especially important and influential female figures, and working with teachers to help them enhance teaching with supplementary material that include more female representation through images.

Published: November 2024

BackgroundResidents of long-term care facilities (LTCFs) have been disproportionately affected during the COVID-19 pandemic. To inform decision-making around interventions, we quantified the SARS-CoV-2 infection risk for residents and the relative contribution of different infection sources. We estimated the force of infection (FOI) experienced by Dutch LTCF residents over time and quantified the contribution of residents, LTCF healthcare workers (HCWs), and the general population.Methods & findingsCase data were obtained by Municipal Health Services as part of the Dutch national surveillance program. During the study period (1 October 2020 to 10 November 2021), testing policies included symptom-based testing, exposure-based testing, and facility-wide serial testing. We used a data augmentation approach to include uncertainty in the timing of infection, while taking account of different testing policies. We constructed a Bayesian generalized linear model to estimate group-specific transmission rate parameters and contributions to the FOI experienced by residents.During the study period 36,877 cases were registered among residents and 19,676 among HCWs. The total daily FOI towards residents was highest in December 2020 (1.7*10-3, 95% CI: 1.5*10-3 – 1.9*10-3) and lowest in June 2021 (1.1*10-5 95%CI: 7.6*10-6 – 1.7*10-5). Resident-directed type-reproduction numbers and FOI declined as COVID-19 vaccination rollout started in residents, HCWs, and the older general population (February-May 2021). Most resident infections in spring and summer 2021 were attributable to infections in the general population. The relative contribution of the general population to the FOI decreased in summer 2021 when vaccination was available population-wide. In October-November 2021, type-reproduction numbers and FOI increased again. We observed an increase in residents’ susceptibility to infection in this period, which was only partially explained by the emergence of the Delta variant. Sensitivity analyses showed that the temporal trends in relative contributions to the FOI were not impacted by assumptions about immunity build-up among residents, nor by underreporting of infections.ConclusionsCOVID-19 vaccination appears to have been effective in reducing SARS-CoV-2 transmission towards residents, although other factors such as seasonality or non-pharmaceutical interventions may also have contributed to this. This effect seemed to have decreased by autumn 2021, which could be due to waning of immunity or changes in control practices. Our estimates of temporal trends in relative contributions to the FOI in LTCF residents can help target intervention efforts.

The influence of prior semantic knowledge in noisy channel interpretation
Authors: Chen Sihan , Washington Lia , Gibson Edward
Published: November 2024

How do comprehenders interpret semantically implausible sentences? Previous studies proposed a noisy-channel framework of sentence comprehension, where communication between a speaker and a comprehender happens in a noisy channel. The comprehender rationally adopts an interpretation of a sentence based on how likely the interpretation is (the semantic prior) and how likely is the interpretation corrupted into the perceived sentence because of noise (the likelihood). The theory predicted that comprehenders would be more likely to adopt a literal interpretation of an implausible sentence if their prior of implausible sentences were higher. To test this hypothesis, Gibson et al. (2013) manipulated the proportion of implausible test sentences in two sets of experiments, where participants read a number of sentences and answer a comprehension question following each sentence. Although their results supported the hypothesis, the experiment was confounded, as the two experiments had different lengths. Hence, it remained an open question whether the results in Gibson et al. (2013) were actually due to differences in prior, or simply due to experiment length.In our study, we manipulated the semantic prior and controlled for this confound. We found participants exposed to more implausible sentences were indeed more likely to interpret implausible sentences literally. Our results hence offer additional support for the noisy-channel framework.
