Authors: Dos Santos Paula Isabel Gonçalves , Saraiva Jorge Rodrigues , Mesquita Edgar Martins , Coelho Marta Silva
Published: May 2022

Human beings are curious, intrinsically motivated and often look for sensations based on goals and plans to overcome the difficulties and challenges that arise towards happiness, wellbeing, and personal growth. The present study aims to understand the usefulness and practicality of a therapeutic notepad, which is composed of inspiring quotes and tasks underlying happiness and well-being. 111 young people and adults, aged between 18 and 58 years (M= 21.81; SD= 5.34) participated in this study, being 47.3% male individuals and 52.7% female individuals. First, a sociodemographic questionnaire was applied to collect personal data; then was administered the Psychological Well-Being Manifestations Scale (Échelle de Mesure des Manifestations du Bien-Être Psychologique) which translates into a response instrument five-point likert type with five subscales including happiness. Finally, a semistructured interview was applied to understand the functionality of the therapeutic agenda. The results showed, both qualitatively and quantitatively, that the notepad can be assumed as an agent that promotes happiness and well-being as well as reducing the negative mood of individuals. This study focuses on the importance of well-being and happiness in the daily lives of individuals. This is an important contribution, as it allows to gauge that the notepad leads to positive and motivating results when applied.

Authors: Adriatico Rhea L. , Razalan Allen Mark A. , Pagbilao Chrizel Mae V. , Afalla Bonimar T. , Dela Cruz Leila M.
Published: May 2022

In the foodservice industry, clients do not only judge the product standard, but also the service quality they receive during their restaurant experience. Therefore, when the importance of the dining experience is strongly regarded by consumers in terms of intellectual and motivational attributes, they are happier to suggest the establishment to others. This research was undertaken to evaluate the levels of service quality and clients’ satisfaction on the services offered by two leading fast-casual dining restaurants in the Province of Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines. As a correlation research, this study was conducted using a modified SERVQUAL instrument among the 395 randomly selected customers. Weighted mean was used to describe the levels of service quality and customer satisfaction. The multiple regression was used to determine the predictors of customer satisfaction. The fast-casual dining restaurants had lived up to the expectation of their customers as they were thought to provide respectable service quality. The fast-casual dining restaurants had satisfied their customers in terms of their dining experience. The physical design and appearance of the restaurants, the price of the product, and the responsiveness of the workforce are the strong determinants of the gratification of the customers.

Reclaiming an Authority: Women’s Ulama Congress Network (KUPI) and a New Trend of Religious Discourse in Indonesia
Authors: Rohmaniyah Inayah , Kotele Samia , Widiastuti Rr. Siti Kurnia
Published: May 2022

The struggle of the Indonesian Women Ulama Congress Network (KUPI) to reclaim the authority of female ulama in Indonesia has facilitated the emergence of a new trend in a religious domain that has traditionally been male-dominated and marginalized women. This paper aims to explore three methods of struggle adopted by the KUPI network to reclaim women's religious authority and socio-political recognition of being an ulama. These include reconstructing the concept of ulama, developing an alternative non-patriarchal and gender-inclusive epistemology, and issuing fatwas on strategic issues. Data for this study has resulted from observations, interviews with ten (10) leading activists and members of the KUPI network, and readings on the publications of the KUPI and its network. This study reveals that KUPI reinterprets the concept of ulama by giving new gender-inclusive meanings in terms of definition, agency, and roles. The KUPI network also criticizes the existing epistemology that has enabled masculine domination and patriarchal bias in producing religious knowledge. The network develops a new epistemology in interpreting religious texts contextually. It brings up the true-justice perspective and hermeneutics of reciprocity. KUPI issued fatwas related to three major issues, including sexual violence, child marriage, and ecological crisis. The fatwa also functions to establish KUPI's position of legitimacy on a par with the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) and symbolizes public recognition of Muslim women's clerical authority. The study recommends the need for a more massive-quantitative study to map social acceptance and recognition of women ulama's authority on a national and international level.

Authors: Sujatna Eva Tuckyta Sari , Heriyanto . , Pamungkas Kasno , Sugianto Larasati Puspa Martani
Published: May 2022

Many researchers do their research on geoparks, slogan, and textual meaning of each but it is still limited research on textual meaning that relates to geopark slogans. This research tries to figure out the textual meaning of the UNESCO Global Geoparks slogans. The slogans are obtained from the UNESCO official website at www.unesco.org. The research method applied is a descriptive qualitative method. The data collected are eighty-five slogans: they were identified and classified into clauses (sixty-three data) and clause complexes (twenty-two data). It was reported that the simple topical theme is the dominant in the eighty-five slogans found. It was notified that the multiple themes found in the slogans have two elements: they are the combination of topical - textual theme and topical – interpersonal theme. It was concluded, for the readers, the simple theme is the dominant one since the simple ones are easier to understand and to memorize than the multiple ones. As concluded from the data analysis, the slogan writers tend to select simple themes as the best way to communicate the underlying message of their products to the readers or listeners. In addition, clauses are also preferred than clause complexes in formulating their slogans.

The Causal Relationship Between Export, Import and Harmonized Consumer Price Index: Evidence from Kosovo
Authors: Kukaj Halil , Nimani Artan
Published: May 2022

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the causal relationship between export, import, and inflation for Kosovo which is a developing country. Pointedly, we examine empirically this relationship by deliberating that export and import influence the harmonized consumer price index, which is expressed as the inflation rate. This paper employs time series monthly data for the period 2010-Jan to 2020-Dec extracted from Kosovo’s Agency of Statistics. Since these variables were stationary at different levels, we have integrated the Toda-Yamamoto approach to Granger causality. The proposed model was free of autocorrelation and no root lied outside the unit circle indicating that the model is stable. The results of Granger causality revealed that export causes import and import causes export, export does not cause inflation, and inflation does not cause export. However, import caused inflation, and inflation caused import. Henceforth, we have performed the Impulse Response Function to analyze the interaction between variables in a vector autoregressive model and we have performed variance decomposition to check the variability in the dependent variable lagged by its variance. The study is spectacled that import is the main vehicle of economic development of Kosovo and for this reason, import causes inflation rate. The results of this study imply that the Kosovar government should take measures to control the effect of imports on increasing of consumer prices.

Criminal Policy on Environmental Crimes: Indonesia’s Perspective
Authors: Amrani Hanafi
Published: May 2022

This study aims to analyze Indonesia's perspective in criminal policy towards environmental crime considered as malum prohibitum offense. Almost all academics agree that environmental crime is known as malum prohibitum offense because of its form of regulation which is usually driven by the absence of mens rea and its evil nature. However, the results of some studies subsequently oppose the status of environmental crime as malum prohibitum offense because the criteria are not fulfilled. Indonesia regulates environmental crimes in administrative law, which are classified into malum prohibitum. Furthermore, they are classified into malum in se offense based on serious sanctions.

Teaching in research at the university level is a complex task that articulates, experience, methodology and research skills of the faculty. Developing research implies creativity, dedication of hours and the development of an innovative identity in university professors, which is a priority in higher education institutions. The objective of this study was to systematize the scientific evidence on the teaching of research in various disciplines at the university level. Verification was performed in the Eric, Scopus and Scielo databases between the years 2012 and 2021. A search equation was used with the terms included in the thesauri of "scientific research" and "teaching". The Boolean operators "AND" and "OR" were used and the exclusion and inclusion criteria of temporality, subject, language, type and accessibility to scientific literature were used. Twenty articles were identified that answered the question: What is the scientific evidence on university teaching in scientific research, identifying the pedagogical dimension, complexity of teaching, techniques and instruments, and predominance of teaching over research? The results indicate that university professors should be aware and should recognize that despite having extensive professional experience, they should improve their research skills, so as to offer a range of possibilities to students for research. It is concluded that whatever the discipline to be developed at the university level, scientific research should be strengthened through the reading of scientific articles, preferably housed in indexed scientific journals and belonging to or promoting research networks.

The provision of information on HIV/AIDS in Nigeria’s secondary schools is often considered inadequate to prevent or limit the scourge among teenagers. In this study, we examined the sources of information for secondary school students on prevalence of the disease in the southern senatorial district of Cross River State, Nigeria. The sources examined included parents, teachers, the social media, health care professionals and the mass media. Eight hundred students in five randomly selected secondary schools were sampled for questionnaire administration, of which 789 were retrieved for analysis.  Majority of the students had some knowledge of the causes, mode of transmission, and preventive measures of HIV/AIDS, but they lacked adequate access to the various sources of more specific information available on the subject matter. Only 187 respondents (23.7%) agreed that their parents taught them about sex education in connection with HIV/AIDS. Our data showed low parental knowledge of the spread of the disease, hence the inadequate education of their wards. About 78% of the respondents agreed that the social media provided more information on HIV/AIDS. However, nearly all the respondents (about 92%) did not use social media sites because they had no access to browsing phones or computers. Many of the respondents heard about HIV/AIDS from health counselors and community health workers in their areas of residence. The overall results indicated that prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the study area could be moderated by knowledge of the disease facilitated by adequate information and increased awareness. There is need to intensify the awareness through the mass media and other outlets considered in this study, starting from the home.

Authors: Sumantri Mohamad Syarif , Gandana Gilar , Supriatna A.R. , Iasha Vina , Setiawan Bramianto
Published: May 2022

Maker-Centered Project Based Learning is one of the developed learning models that emphasize the concept of stimulation to develop students' creativity, productivity, and innovation. This learning model is suitable because it has a positive simulation value to encourage students to solve real-life problems. Therefore, this research focuses on examining the application of the Maker-Centered Project-Based Learning Model in student lecture activities to improve graphic design skills and student learning activities. This research uses a quasi-experimental method with a Posttest-only Control technique through a quantitative approach. A total of 68 students were involved in this research, with 34 students for each control class experimental class. The sampling technique used in this research is cluster random sampling. Student project assessment sheets consisting of 2 aspects, namely graphic design skills and Student Learning Activities, were used to collect data. The results showed that students' graphic design skills and active learning increased significantly after applying the Maker-Centered Project-Based Learning Model with a 95% confidence level. In its application, the Maker-Centered Project-Based Learning model can give real meaning to life for students. Realizing the goals of human life requires an active role from oneself, which is supported by the role of other individuals from outside oneself. In addition, the application of maker-centered project-based learning on the creator can significantly increase student learning activity.

Authors: Alotaibi May , Busaad Yousef
Published: May 2022

The current study sought to reveal the level of parents’ knowledge of developmental learning disorders in early childhood in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. A questionnaire was designed comprising (35) questions that measure the parents’ knowledge of indicators of developmental learning disorders. These were distributed among (5) the main areas related to basic psychological processes, namely attention, perception, memory, language, thinking and problem-solving. The questionnaire was electronically applied to a random sample of (462) parents in Khobar, Dhahran, Dammam and Jubail. The results demonstrated that parents have a moderate level of knowledge of indicators of developmental learning disorders among those in early childhood and that no statistically significant differences were attributed to their relationship with the child, educational qualifications and the level of the family income. One of the most significant recommendations is the development of educational and scientific resources associated with indicators of developmental learning disorders for children in early childhood and the provision of open seminars and discussion panels between parents to share experiences. The researchers also recommend performing additional studies focused on developing diagnostic criteria to detect symptoms of developmental learning difficulties which will assist educators in identifying children at risk of learning difficulties at an early age.

A implantação de unidades de conservação é uma das principais estratégias para a conservação da biodiversidade em todo mundo, sendo constatada sua importância na contenção da conversão de habitats naturais. Porém há grande variação na dinâmica espacial dessas áreas. Nesta perspectiva, este estudo teve como objetivo determinar a ocorrência e intensidade de mudanças no uso e cobertura do solo em unidades de conservação (UCs) de proteção integral e uso sustentável, entre os anos de 1986, 2000 e 2015, usando o norte de Minas Gerais como estudo de caso. O desenvolvimento de tal estudo foi possível devido ao uso de imagens de satélites Landsat, e o emprego de técnicas de sensoriamento remoto e inteligência artificial, como a árvore de decisão, para elaboração dos mapas de uso e cobertura do solo. Foram calculados os valores de uso e cobertura e feito o balanço de área em ambiente SIG. Os resultados indicam que a área desmatada foi maior entre 1986-2000 (55,40km²) antes da implementação da maioria das UCs. Foi possível constatar grandes perdas de cobertura de Floresta Estacional Decidual e ganhos em cobertura por Cerrado. As áreas protegidas no Norte de Minas Gerais, em sua maioria, têm cumprindo seu papel na proteção dos recursos naturais, auxiliando na contenção do desmatamento e promovendo a regeneração natural. Entretanto, é necessário um monitoramento a longo prazo com emprego de técnicas de Sensoriamento Remoto que possibilitam constantes atualizações dos cenários terrestres e fornecimento de informações atualizadas para a fiscalização e desenvolvimento de projetos de educação ambiental.
Constructing the Continuity Concept
Authors: Valongo Ana , Felgueiras Miguel
Published: May 2022

Key concepts in Mathematics, like derivative or integral, are connected with the notions of limit and continuity. Therefore, the construction of these concepts is relevant and should be well understood by the students. In this paper the construction of the continuity concept by the students is studied, without relying on the limit for that construction. With this purpose in mind, we start by defining the theoretical framework based on Abstraction in Context. After that, a continuity notion that does not depend on limit is presented. Finally, the results of a qualitative study performed with Public Management Quantitative Methods students, from the School of Technology and Management of the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, is presented. The epistemic actions that were developed by the students while building the continuity notion are presented and analysed.

Published: May 2022

We study a genetic model (including gene regulatory networks) consisting of a system of several ordinary differential equations. This system contains a number of parameters and depends on the regulatory matrix that describes the interactions in this multicomponent network. The question of the attracting sets of this system, which depending on the parameters and elements of the regulatory matrix, isconsidered. The consideration is mainly geometric, which makes it possible to identify and classify possible network interactions. The system of differential equations contains a sigmoidal function, which allows taking into account the peculiarities of the network response to external influences. As a sigmoidal function, a logistic function is chosen, which is convenient for computer analysis. The question of constructing attractors in a system of arbitrary dimension is considered by constructing a block regulatory matrix, the blocks of which correspond to systems of lower dimension and have been studied earlier. The method is demonstrated with an example of a three-dimensional system, which is used to construct a system of dimensions twice as large. The presentation is provided with illustrations obtained as a result of computer calculations, and allowing, without going into details, to understand the formulation of the issue and ways to solve the problems that arise in this case.

Повномасштабне вторгнення військ Російської Федерації в Україну 24 лютого 2022 р. спричинило низку гострих викликів соціально-психологічному стану українського суспільства.Ці психологічні виклики можна поділити на чотири групи: 1) виклики українцям як спільноті; 2) виклики ментальному здоров’ю особистості; 3) виклики психологічному благополуччю та розвитку дитини; 4) виклики українським психологам як фаховому співтовариству.Розглядаються психологічно обґрунтовані способи реагування на такі спричинені війною виклики, як потреба актуалізації національної групової ідентичності; доцентрові і відцентрові тенденції суспільної згуртованості; завищені суспільні очікування; наслідки колективної психотравматизації; ризики надмірної трудової зайнятості та незайнятості громадян, волонтерської та приймальної діяльності; формування в біженців психологічного синдрому неповернення; поширення деструктивних емоційних станів; стресогенні трансформації особистісної картини світу; інтенсифікація та поляризація міжособового спілкування; ризиковані форми інформаційної поведінки; посттравматичні стресові розлади; розлади та деструктивні способи соціальної адаптації; руйнування або докорінну зміну освітнього середовища; соціальні й ментальні ризики сирітства та усиновлення; брак необхідних компетентностей та надійного методичного інструментарію; незавершена інституціоналізація стандартів психологічної допомоги; непристосованість практик психологічного консультування до ретиальних систем комунікації; низький рівень психологічної культури населення; відсутність єдиного координаційного центру, чітко вибудованої вертикалі надання психологічної допомоги. На частину цих викликів суспільство вже дало гідну відповідь. В обґрунтуванні інших відповідей провідну роль має взяти на себе фахове співтовариство українських психологів, ядром якого є колективи наукових установ психологічного профілю НАПН України.
multiSyncPy: A Python package for assessing multivariate coordination dynamics
Authors: Hudson Dan , Wiltshire Travis J. , Atzmueller Martin
Published: May 2022

In order to support the burgeoning field of research into intra- and interpersonal synchrony, we present an open-source software package: multiSyncPy. Multivariate synchrony goes beyond the bivariate case and can be useful for quantifying how groups, teams, and families coordinate their behaviors, or estimating the degree to which multiple modalities from an individual become synchronized. Our package includes state-of-the-art multivariate methods including symbolic entropy, multidimensional recurrence quantification analysis, coherence (with an additional sum-normalized modification), the cluster-phase ‘Rho’ metric, and a statistical test based on the Kuramoto order parameter. We also include functions for two surrogation techniques to compare the observed coordination dynamics with chance levels and a windowing function to examine time-varying coordination for most of the measures. Taken together, our collation and presentation of these methods make the study of interpersonal synchronization and coordination dynamics applicable to larger, more complex and often more ecologically valid study designs. In this work, we summarize the relevant theoretical background and present illustrative practical examples, lessons learned, as well as guidance for the usage of our package – using synthetic as well as empirical data. Furthermore, we provide a discussion of our work and software and outline interesting further directions and perspectives. multiSyncPy is freely available under the LGPL license at: https://github.com/cslab-hub/multiSyncPy, and also available at the Python package index.
On the derivation of three-verb clusters in Old English
Authors: Hosaka Michio
Published: May 2022

Word order in Old English has some properties in common with those in other Germanic languages, such as V2 in a main clause and Vf-final order in a subordinate clause. However, it had idiosyncratic traits that led to word order changes in the later stages of English. Focusing on the word order of three-verb clusters (modal+have/be+participle) in Old English, this paper argues that the rise of functional projections with the head in its initial position shaped changes in word order in the history of English.
Automatic categorization of prosodic contours in Bardi
Authors: Babinski Sarah , Bowern Claire
Published: May 2022

This study presents preliminary results of an automated prosodic clustering analysis of Bardi, a Nyulnyulan language from Northern Australia, using methods from Kaland (2021). Previous work on Bardi prosody identified several functions of boundary tones and two main phrase types, but stressed that findings were preliminary. Here we extend that work and show evidence for several additional phrase types, as well as confirming the overall accuracy of automated clustering. This work adds to the prosodic typology of Australian languages (cf. Fletcher et al. 2002) and provides further evidence for the functions of intonation beyond demarcation in these languages. When coupled with evaluation by a knowledgeable researcher, this automated approach can greatly expedite prosodic analysis on a large scale and expand our typology of prosodic systems.

Allocutive imposters have unique properties that distinguish them from the well-known honorific constructions, referent honorifics and addressee honorifics. Furthermore, they are uniquely sales speech register. Focusing on their marked pragmatic function of being used only in sales discourse, this paper builds on Portner, Pak and Zanuttini (2019, 2022), a functional head c in the left periphery encodes [Formal] and [Status] features and contends that first, these features, in particular, the [Formal] feature which represents the source social relation between the speaker and addressee, can be utilized to encode the markedness of the allocutive imposters. Second, allocutive imposters have a clausal structure with multiple subject positions, the higher position of which is occupied by a null DP with 2nd person features that require checking by the Addressee in the left periphery. It will be shown that the proposed analysis provides an account for the unique properties of allocutive imposters without invoking any special syntactic mechanism.
Cessation implicature and simultaneous readings
Authors: Ogihara Toshiyuki
Published: May 2022

Altshuler & Schwarzschild (2013a, 2013b) provide an account of the simultaneous reading of past-under-past sentences in English (called the sequence-of-tense (SOT) phenomenon) based on a lack of cessation implicature. However, this analysis encounters empirical and technical issues in accounting for the English data in the same construction involving the future auxiliary would, the past perfect, and the future-under-future configuration. It also faces difficulty in accounting for the cross-linguistic data that concerns tense in verb complements. We are, therefore, led to conclude that the traditional solution to this problem (Abusch 1988, 1997, Ogihara 1996, von Stechow 1995, Stowell 1996, and Kratzer 1998) that renders structurally lower past tense morphemes in English semantically empty (or plain variables) is preferable. This system allows us to adopt the same semantic mechanism for both SOT languages such as English and non-SOT languages such as Japanese.
Simplified grammar in both languages? On scope assignment in Q-Neg sentences in English-dominant heritage Chinese speakers
Authors: Shen Jennifer , Chen Yunchuan
Published: May 2022

Quantifier-negation (Q-Neg) sentences are sentences like ‘All teachers did not use Donald’s car,’ where a negation word and universal quantifier occur in the subject position. There are both surface scope (all>not) and inverse scope (not>all) readings in English, but only the surface scope (all>not) reading is allowed in Chinese. This study conducted a picture-matching truth value judgment experiment to examine whether English-dominant heritage Chinese speakers know the difference between English and Chinese regarding the interpretation of Q-Neg sentences. The data reveals three different groups of participants: a. participants who accepted the inverse scope reading in both languages; b. participants who rejected the inverse scope reading in both languages; c. participants who accepted the inverse scope reading in English but rejected it in Chinese. Implications regarding heritage language research will be discussed.
Grandfather effects in Laoling disyllabic tone sandhi
Authors: Chen Yi Jen , Hsiao Yuchau E.
Published: May 2022

In Optimality Theory, grandfather effects refer to the phenomena in which a structure that already exist in the input is allowed to surface while the same structure that is derived (i.e. not in the input) is forbidden. Most studies on this issue focus on segmental processes, and only few on tonal processes. This study presents the data of Laoling regular disyllabic tone sandhi, which demonstrates a grandfathering effect where some tones are allowed in non-derived contexts but banned in derived contexts. We propose a constraint-based analysis adopting Comparative Markedness (McCarthy 2003) constraints.
Can noun modifiers be stranded or extracted in Mandarin?
Authors: Chen Fulang
Published: May 2022

This paper addresses the question of whether noun modifiers can be stranded or extracted in Mandarin. I argue that there is no positive evidence that noun modifiers can be stranded in Mandarin, and that noun modifiers cannot be extracted in Mandarin. Specifically, I show that the so-called "split NP" constructions, which are often taken to involve stranding of a noun modifier, should be subsumed under a phenomenon I refer to as "split partitivity". I further show that "split partitivity" does not involve left-branch extraction of a noun modifier, but involves extraction from Spec, DP, the "escape hatch" for extraction.
Syntax of reduplication and negative-polarity items in Buli
Authors: Hiraiwa Ken , Akanlig-Pare George
Published: May 2022

Negative-polarity items in Buli, a Mabia (Gur) language spoken in Ghana, exhibit a mixed behavior between NCIs and NPIs (or between strong NPIs and weak NPIs). Thus, Buli presents a counterexample to Vallduvı's generalization that negative-polarity items come in two kinds. Adopting and extending the framework of Collins & Postal (2014) and Collins et al. (2017), we will show that the apparently mysterious mixed behavior of negative-polarity items in Buli can be explained by articulating an unary-NEG structure and syntax of reduplication.
Animacy hierarchy and case/agreement in Okinawan
Authors: Hiraiwa Ken
Published: May 2022

In languages like Japanese and Okinawan, morphological evidence for agreement is scarce, which has led to the long-standing controversy as to its existence. In this article, I argue that while φ-agreement is not morphologically realized on the predicates in Okinawan, it is nevertheless indirectly detectable in the form of animacy agreement in differential case-marking.
Consonant acquisition in Lio
Authors: Wivell Grace B.
Published: May 2022

Lio is an understudied Austronesian language spoken in Central Flores, Indonesia by 220,000 speakers (Ethnologue, 2019), for which no acquisition research has yet been completed. In this case study, the speech of two female bilingual speakers, ages 7 and 9, were transcribed, to determine which consonants were produced in an adult-like manner by each speaker; all consonants that the children attempted were produced in an adult-like manner, excepting [ɰ] and [r]. [ɰ] is of note, as it was replaced by [j], a phoneme in the speakers’ other language, Indonesian, implying a potential influence of bilingualism.
Sound change, paradigmatic relations, and analogy produce suppletion in Catalan verbs
Authors: Juge Matthew L.
Published: May 2022

The development of stem-final /g/ in several parts of Catalan verb paradigms via sound change and analogy has created suppletion in a large number of verbs. In this paper I present evidence against viewing these developments as teleological or driven by factors of markedness or naturalness. I also argue that appeal to morphomes must be tempered by the recognition of the highly variable nature of the patterns displayed by the verbs in question and contextualized in mechanisms that do not merely model change but explain how speakers create change.
Literary forms and semantic representations of focus
Authors: Sano Kyoko
Published: May 2022

Fabb (2004) made a distinction between linguistic forms and literary forms.  Linguistic forms hold of a text by virtue of being generated by a linguistic representation of the text, while literary forms hold of a text by virtue of being the content of thought about the text. The present article discusses whether the observed emphatic construction in Old Japanese texts is a linguistic form or implied literary form. The emphatic construction is [p-koso q-e], concordance of the emphatic particle koso with the sentence ending form -e (conjunctive subordinator), which is found primarily in literary contexts.  Ohno (1993) argued that koso -e shifted its uses over the period of Old to Early Middle Japanese.  The process of shift involves three stages: i) the contrastive uses, ii) the concessive uses, and iii) the simple emphatic uses. In Ohno’s analysis, the shift from (i) to (ii) is non-distinctive, but (ii) is aesthetically more complex.  I argue that the shift of koso -e from (i) to (ii) is a semantic change from literal form to linguistic form, and that linguistic form may appear less distinct due to the literary form associated with the emphatic construction.
The effect of the verb on pronominal expression: A reanalysis
Authors: Orozco Rafael , Orozco Johnny
Published: May 2022

The verb is a known constraint on subject pronoun expression that has been explored using several different predictor/factor configurations. This paper expands on recent investigations of how verbs condition this phenomenom by analyzing 17,500 tokens from five locales: Barranquilla, Cali, Medellín, New York, and Xalapa. We hypothesized that verb groups do not constitute natural functional subject pronoun constraining categories. We analyze the effect of the verb with multivariate regressions testing – as random effects factors – verbs and pronominal subject+verb collocations. Results uncover – within each corpus – significant opposite tendencies between (a) verbs in the same category and (b) finite forms of a single verb. Findings support our hypothesis revealing that pronominal subject+verb collocations provide a more definitive account of how verbs condition subject pronoun expression. Findings also suggest that pragmatic/cognitive dynamics govern verb effects and provide mounting evidence that despite four decades of research, we have not found the real effects of the verb on subject pronoun expression. This research expands our analytical scope and improves the accountability of findings on this phenomenon by offering new perspectives on the lexical effect of the verb.
Predictors of pressure injury in patients with hip fracture: a meta-analysis

Published: May 2022

Review question / Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictors of pressure injury in patients with hip fracture in order to provide a reference for clinical practice. Condition being studied: Hip fracture has become a major public health issue of common concern in both developed and developing countries. and its incidence is estimated to rise to 6.26 million by 2050. Hip fracture patients are prone to various complications during treatment and rehabilitation, and pressure injury (PI) is one of the common complications of hip fracture. Studies have reported that the incidence of pressure injury in patients with hip fracture is 3.4%-59.8%. In addition, pressure injury may occur at any time when patients with hip fracture are hospitalized, which not only greatly aggregates the pain of patients, but also increases the difficulty of treatment and nursing, and seriously threatens the safety of patients. Clarifying the influencing factors of pressure injury after hip fracture will help medical staff quickly identify high-risk patients and strengthen preventive measures. However, previous studies have only discussed the influence of individual factors on the occurrence of pressure injury in patients with hip fracture from the perspectives of diabetes and early surgery, and there is still a lack of systematic analysis on the influencing factors of pressure injury in patients with hip fracture.
Sequential rank CUSUMs for location and dispersion
Authors: van Zyl C. , Lombard F.
Published: May 2022

We develop CUSUMs based on sequential ranks of the observations to detect changes over time in the location and dispersion of a distribution. The CUSUMs are distribution free in the sense that the appropriate control limits do not depend on the form or any parameters of the unknown underlying distribution. As such the CUSUMs are fully self starting. The inand out-of-control average run length properties of the CUSUMs are gauged qualitatively via theory-based calculations and quantitatively by Monte Carlo simulation. The CUSUMS are shown to perform very well when compared to some existing parametric and nonparametric CUSUMS. Implementation of the CUSUMs is illustrated in an application based on real data from an industrial environment.
