Published: March 2023

Conocer el uso de las plantas es crucial para entender la economía y la dieta de las comunidades del pasado. Para avanzar en el conocimiento sobre la agricultura y el uso de recursos vegetales en sitios arqueológicos, este artículo propone el análisis de almidones como una metodología que permite ampliar los datos arqueobotánicos procedentes de sitios arqueológicos. Se presentan los resultados del análisis de almidones realizados con muestras obtenidas de 6 artefactos de molienda y 14 recipientes cerámicos procedentes del yacimiento de Numancia (Garray, Soria) durante el final de la Edad del Hierro y la romanización. A través de esta metodología, se ha logrado identificar almidones de Triticeae (Triticum spp. y Hordeum vulgare), avena (Avena spp.), bellota (Quercus ilex) y leguminosas (Fabaceae). Estos datos corroboran el consumo de cereales y recursos de los bosques adyacentes a Numancia, en una estrategia mixta de cultivo y recolección estacional. Además de la identificación taxonómica, la presencia de granos gelatinizados constata el uso del fuego en el procesamiento y preparación de alimentos. Por último, la identificación de los mismos taxones en todos los períodos indica una continuidad agroecológica entre las ocupaciones celtibéricas y la etapa de romanización en Numancia.
Free Cash Flow, Financial Distress, and Earnings Management: The Moderating Role of Independent Commissioner
Authors: Dzulfikar Rafi Anan , Firmansyah Amrie
Published: March 2023

This study examines the effect of free cash flow and financial distress on earnings management. In addition, this study also examines the role of the independent commissioner as a moderator in the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The research data is obtained from the financial statements of transportation sub-sector companies in Indonesia listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for 2018-2020. Based on the purposive sampling method, the final samples used in this study amounted to 87 observations. This study concludes that free cash flow is negatively associated with earnings management, while financial distress is positively associated with earnings management. This study also finds that independent commissioners strengthen the negative effect of free cash flow on earnings management, and independent commissioners weaken the positive effect of financial distress on earnings management. This study indicates that the Financial Services Authority (OJK) needs to carry out supervision and improvement related to the provisions on the recruitment of independent commissioners to improve corporate governance and investor protection.
A Study on Impromptu Speech Initiation of Programme Hosts Based on Communication Accommodation Theory: The Case of “Hello, Interviewer”
Authors: He Jingfan , Gao Biao
Published: March 2023

In recent years, the social situation of choosing a career and employment has become more and more difficult every year, and the mass media has provided a new solution to this dilemma：job-seeking reality shows. In this type of show, the host’s ability to improvise is a critical factor in the show’s success. However, many presenters do not have strong improvisation skills. They cannot reasonably guide the interaction between job seekers, interviewers, and career advisors, resulting in the guests not getting the required information efficiently or the scene getting out of control, ultimately affecting the program’s communication effect. At present, there is a lack of research on how the hosts control the guests’ right to speak and how to trigger the guests to respond in job-seeking reality programmes. Therefore, this paper adopts a qualitative research method and selects the programme “Hello, Interviewer” as the research corpus, drawing on communication accommodation theory in social psycholinguistics, communication, and broadcasting to analyse the forms of improvised speech initiation by the hosts in the job-seeking reality shows. This study divides the overall process of a job-seeking reality show into three stages, including: the opening introduction - low interaction stage, multiple interactions - high interaction stage, and the end of the decision - medium interaction stage. Then, the forms of improvised speech initiation used by the hosts in each stage are summarized in relation to the corpus. The findings of this paper are expected to provide guidance to job-seeking reality show hosts to better master their discourse skills and improve their improvisation skills so as to achieve the most optimal communication effect of the programme.
Phase-shifting interferometry based on dynamic mode decomposition
Authors: Kulkarni Rishikesh
Published: March 2023

A phase retrieval algorithm in phase-shifting interferometry is presented based on dynamic mode decomposition (DMD). The complex-valued spatial mode obtained from the DMD of phase-shifted interferograms allows the derivation of the phase estimate. At the same time, the oscillation frequency associated with the spatial mode provides the phase step estimate. The performance of the proposed method is compared to methods based on least squares and principle component analysis. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate the improvement in the phase estimation accuracy and noise robustness offered by the proposed method and thus substantiate its practical applicability.

Published: March 2023

In optical transport networks, client signals are usually aggregated to the lightpath channels for long-haul transport, and the aggregation process is referred to as service mapping. In the context of physical-layer secured optical networks, in which the lightpaths are encrypted, network operators need to consider not only the bandwidth demand but also the security demand of client services in the service mapping process. This paper mainly explores the service mapping issue, which decides the solution for aggregating service into the physical-layer secured optical transport network. First, we introduce the physical-layer secured optical transport networks and illustrate their differences from the traditional optical network. Then, we formulate the service mapping problem as an integer linear programming (ILP) model to maximize the number of successfully mapped services. To address the scalability issue of the ILP model, we further propose two security-aware service mapping algorithms based on the security constraints. Simulation results show that the ILP model can reach a 98.8% successful service mapping rate in a six-node mesh network. The successful service mapping rate of the heuristics is about 0.5% lower than the ILP model, which proves that the performance of the heuristics is very close to the ILP.

Published: March 2023

The concept of lasers based on the frozen mode regime in active periodic optical waveguides with a 3rd-order exceptional point of degeneracy (EPD) is advanced. The frozen mode regime in a lossless and gainless waveguide is associated with a stationary inflection point (SIP) in the Bloch dispersion relation, where three Bloch eigenmodes coalesce forming the frozen mode. As a practical example, we consider an asymmetric serpentine optical waveguide (ASOW). An ASOW operating near the SIP frequency displays a large group delay of a non-resonant nature that scales as the cube of the waveguide length, leading to a strong gain enhancement when active material is included. Therefore, a laser operating in the close vicinity of an SIP has a gain threshold that scales as a negative cube of the waveguide length. We determine that this scaling law is maintained in the presence of small distributed losses, such as radiation associated with waveguide bends and roughness. In addition, we show that although gain causes a distortion in the modes coalescing at the SIP, the properties of the frozen mode are relatively resistant to such small perturbations and we still observe a large degree of exceptional degeneracy for gain values that bring the system above threshold. Finally, our study also reveals that lasing near an SIP is favored over lasing near a photonic band edge located in close proximity to the SIP. In particular, we observe that an SIP-induced lasing in an ASOW displays lower gain threshold compared to lasing near the photonic regular band edge (RBE), even though the SIP resonance has a lower quality factor than the RBE resonance.

Published: March 2023

The 2019 newfound Coronavirus (COVID-19) still remains as a threatening disease of which new cases are being reported daily from all over the world. The present study aimed at estimating the related rates of morbidity, growth, and mortality for COVID-19 over a three-month period starting from Feb, 19, 2020 to May 18, 2020 in Iran. In addition, it revealed the effect of the mean age, changes in weather temperature and country’s executive policies including social distancing, restrictions on travel, closing public places, shops and educational centers. We have developed a combined neural network to estimate basic reproduction number, growth, and mortality rates of COVID-19. Required data was obtained from daily reports of World Health Organization (WHO), Iran Meteorological Organization (IRIMO) and the Statistics Center of Iran. The technique used in the study encompassed the use of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) combined with Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Bus Transportation Algorithms (BTA). The results of the present study showed that the related mortality rate of COVID-19 is in the range of [0.1], and the point 0.275 as the mortality rate provided the best results in terms of the total training and test squared errors of the network. Furthermore, the value of basic reproduction number for ANN-BTA and ANN-PSO was 1.045 and 1.065, respectively. In the present study, regarding the closest number to the regression line (0.275), the number of patients was equal to 2566200 cases (with and without clinical symptoms) and the growth rate based on arithmetic means was estimated to be 1.0411 and 1.06911, respectively. Reviewing the growth and mortality rates over the course of 90 days, after 45 days of first case detection, the highest increase in mortality rate was reported 158 cases. Also, the highest growth rate was related to the eighth and the eighteenth days after the first case report (2.33). In the present study, the weather variant in relationship to the basic reproduction number and mortality rate was estimated ineffective. In addition, the role of quarantine policies implemented by the Iranian government was estimated to be insignificant concerning the mortality rate. However, the age range was an ifluential factor in mortality rate. Finally, the method proposed in the present study cofirmed the role of the mean age of the country in the mortality rate related to COVID-19 patients at the time of research conduction. The results indicated that if sever quarantine restrictions are not applied and Iranian government does not impose effective interventions, about 60% to 70% of the population (it means around 49 to 58 million people) would be afflicted by COVID-19 during June to September 2021.

Published: March 2023

Geographic information systems (GIS) can be used to map mosquito larval and adult habitats and human populations at risk for mosquito exposure and possible arbovirus transmission. Along with traditional methods of surveillance-based targeted mosquito control, GIS can help simplify and target efforts during routine surveillance and post-disaster (e.g., hurricane-related flooding) to protect emergency workers and public health. A practical method for prioritizing areas for emergency mosquito control has been developed and is described here. North Carolina (NC) One Map was used to identify state-level data layers of interest based on human population distribution and mosquito habitat in Brunswick, Columbus, Onslow, and Robeson Counties in eastern NC. Relevant data layers were included to create mosquito control treatment areas for targeted control and an 18-step protocol for map development is discussed. This protocol is expected to help state, territorial, tribal, and/or local public health officials and associated mosquito control programs efficiently create treatment area maps to improve strategic planning in advance of a disaster. This protocol may be applied to any NC county and beyond, thereby increasing local disaster preparedness.
YouTube as an information source in paediatric dentistry education: Reliability and quality analysis
Authors: Uzel İlhan , Ghabchi Behrang , Akalın Ayşe , Eden Ece
Published: March 2023

Introduction

In the era of Covid 19 pandemic, the audio-visual contents of YouTube™could be an information source for dental students, practitioners, and patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality, content, and demographics of YouTube™videos about pediatric dentistry for the education of dentistry students.

Materials and methods

A search on YouTube™was performed using the keywords "pediatric dentistry”, “pediatric dental treatments”, “primary teeth treatments" in Turkish. The first 50 videos selected for each keyword were evaluated. Parameters of the videos such as the number of views, the days since the upload, the duration of the video, and the number of likes and dislikes were recorded. Videos are categorized by upload source and content categories as an academic, dentist, physician, patient, reporter, and other, and average points are obtained for the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark. The normality of the data was evaluated with the Shapiro-Wilk test. The data were not distributed normally, compared with the Kruskal Wallis test between source and content groups. The Dunn’s Post Hoc was used to determine to find out which group caused the difference. The Spearman Correlation coefficient was calculated to assess a possible correlation between JAMA, GQS, and VPI scores. All significance levels were set at 0.05.

Results

The duplicates and non-related ones were removed from 150 videos and remaining 119 videos were evaluated. Most of the videos were uploaded by the dentists and other categories, and mainly the videos were uploaded for patient education. JAMA score was 1 out of 4 for 55 videos, 2 for 63 videos, and 3 for only 1 video. When the video source groups were compared, the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.01). The difference between academic and patient groups (p = 0.007); the dentist and patient groups were statistically significant (p = 0.02).

Conclusion

YouTube platform does not contain videos of appropriate quality to support the education of dentistry students in pediatric dentistry in Turkish.
Detailed analysis of surgically treated hand trauma patients in a regional German trauma centre

Published: March 2023

Hand and forearm injuries are the most frequent reason for consultations in German emergency departments. Therefore, full recovery has a high social and economic relevance. In this study, data on surgically treated hand injuries in a regional German trauma centre between 01.01.2019 and 31.01.2021 were collected using the new German HandTraumaRegister of the German Society for Hand Surgery. These data were retrospectively analysed and correlated with mobility data of the Bavarian population, the 7-day incidence of Covid-19 infections in Germany and the number of elective hand surgeries. We found that a fall from standing height with consecutive distal radius fracture was the most common injury in women, whereas mechanism of injury and diagnosis were more diverse in men. The populations’ mobility correlated well with the number of accidents, which in turn was reciprocal to the 7-day-incidence of Covid-19 infections. The number of elective hand surgeries expectedly dropped significantly during the state-imposed lockdowns. Knowing that mainly young men and elderly women suffer from hand injuries, tailored prevention measures may be elaborated. In order to reduce socioeconomic burden, care for hand injuries and elective hand surgeries must be guaranteed according to the frequency of their occurrence.
Is mobile phone influence the status of pilot or the flight safety?
Authors: Zhu Shouxi , Gu Hongbin
Published: March 2023

Background

This study aimed to explore the adverse influences of mobile phone usage on pilots’ status, so as to improve flight safety.

Methods

A questionnaire was designed, and a cluster random sampling method was adopted. Pilots of Shandong Airlines were investigated on the use of mobile phones. The data was analyzed by frequency statistics, linear regression and other statistical methods.

Results

A total of 340 questionnaires were distributed and 317 were returned, 315 of which were valid. The results showed that 239 pilots (75.87%) used mobile phones as the main means of entertainment in their leisure time. There was a significant negative correlation between age of pilots and playing mobile games (p<0.01). There was a significant positive correlation between the length of phone usage on rest days and the length of phone usage before sleep and the 15 items of the scale (p<0.01), age, flight hours and position had a significant negative influence on the total score of the scale (p<0.01), while the length of mobile phone usage on rest days and before sleep had a significant positive influence on the total score of the scale (p<0.01). Among the above five independent variables, the length of time spent using mobile phones on rest days is the most influential factor on pilot status.

Conclusions

Excessive use of mobile phones is very common among pilots, and it has become one of the key factors affecting the status of pilots. In any case, the longer the pilots use mobile phones, the greater the adverse impacts on their own status. At the same time, the longer pilots use mobile phones, the greater threat to flight safety.
Differentiating between urban flood risk as a unitary problem and as a strand in a braided problem set: Implications for administrative coordination
Authors: Michaels Sarah
Published: March 2023

Flood protection is a leading priority for urban water sustainability. Making cities more resilient to flooding has become urgent as the climate changes and as cities increasingly become the loci of human population and resources. Reducing the risk of future flooding in cities often necessitates different jurisdictions working together. They may do so because they confront a shared problem. This was the case in the City of Lincoln, Nebraska, USA, when partnering agencies shared a single focus on reducing flood risk from Beal Slough to the Nebraska State Penitentiary. In contrast, entities may band together to confront braided problems, intertwined problems that cannot be resolved independently. The Antelope Valley Project, also in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA, combined addressing three problems, for which individual solutions had not been achieved: reducing flood risk from Antelope Creek, improving road transportation safety and capacity, and revitalizing neighborhoods with deteriorating physical structures. Such a scenario is becoming more frequent as cities increasingly face multiple demands on the same location. As this comparative case study demonstrates, there are implications for administrative coordination for whether flood risk reduction can be achieved as a sole focus of a project and when it cannot. The Antelope Valley Project necessitated an innovative management structure and governance process that the Beal Slough Project did not. In the Antelope Valley Project three different, stand-alone entities operating in dissimilar, substantive domains redirected their independent policies to harmonize their problem solving. Collaborative learning among policy actors in the Antelope Valley was more extensive and across policy domains than was required in the Beal Slough Project. Yet, both projects were triggered by policy-oriented learning from the remapping of their respective subwatersheds. The study contributes to understanding interdependency among policy problems and to reducing urban flood risk through administrative coordination.

Poesía y publicidad en tres poetas de la España tardofranquista
Authors: Zorita Arroyo Diego
Published: March 2023

Mediante un análisis comparativo de la obra de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, Aníbal Núñez y Justo Alejo, este artículo analiza la relación entre poesía y publicidad en la España tardofranquista. El criterio de selección de los poemas descansa en la apropiación de recursos retóricos, discursivos y ortotipográficos de la publicidad para, mediante la ironía y la hipérbole, criticar su finalidad pragmática: la incitación al consumo. La apropiación de estos recursos publicitarios sirve a los poetas para cuestionar la función sagrada que el Romanticismo asignó a la poesía y para propugnar nuevos modos de creación poética en los albores de la era del consumo.

Background and Aim: Heat shock proteins are highly conserved proteins that work as molecular chaperones expressed in response to thermal stress. This study aimed to determine the expression profile of genes related to the heat stress response in whole blood obtained from the Romosinuano creole breed.

Materials and Methods: Real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to analyze the transcript of hsp90, hsp70, hsp60, and hsf1 in the whole blood of Romosinuano under different temperature-humidity indices (THIs).

Results: The expression levels of the hsp70 and hsf1 genes at the high-THI level were higher (p = 0.0011 and p = 0.0003, respectively) than those at the low-THI level. In addition, no differences in the expression levels of the hsp60 and hsP90 genes were detected between the two THIs.

Conclusion: The overexpression of hsf1 and hsp70 genes play an important role in protecting cells from damage induced by heat stress.

Keywords: climate change, external environment, heat shock proteins, heat stress, mRNA, temperature-humidity index.

ANÁLISE ESPACIAL E EPIDEMIOLÓGICA DE CASOS NOVOS DE HANSENÍASE EM UM MUNICÍPIO DO NORDESTE BRASILEIRO
Authors: Dias Gutemberg Henrique , França José Alex Costa de , Peixoto Filipe da Silva , Aires Caio Augusto Martins
Published: March 2023

A hanseníase é uma doença infectocontagiosa de evolução lenta que se apresenta endêmica em países subdesenvolvidos ou em desenvolvimento como o Brasil. A OMS trata a doença como um agravo de atenção primária e desenvolve ações específicas voltadas à erradicação em diversos países. A pesquisa busca entender a diferença do perfil epidemiológico da hanseníase nos anos de 2001 a 2005 e 2014 a 2018 por meio da aplicação de análise espacial dos casos novos diagnosticados na área urbana da cidade de Mossoró, estado do Rio Grande do Norte. A metodologia utilizada se baseou na análise da literatura especializada, análise dos dados oriundos do SINAN e do geoprocessamento das informações que puderam ser objeto de geospacialização. Os resultados demonstram, a partir dos indicadores avaliados, que a doença se mostra em retração no município de Mossoró, mas continua sendo um desafio para a gestão da saúde, haja vista que a classificação, quanto ao coeficiente de incidência é de um município hiperendêmico, tendo áreas específicas onde há prevalência espacial dos casos e uma tendência ao espraiamento para os bairros periféricos.
El problema del dolor según santo Tomás de Aquino y Luigi Pareyson
Authors: Díaz Sanz Javier
Published: March 2023

Este trabajo analiza el problema del dolor y del sufrimiento humanos según dos perspectivas. La primera, la de santo Tomás de Aquino, especialmente en su obra Cuestiones disputadas sobre el mal. La segunda, la de Luigi Pareyson, en su obra Ontología de la libertad, el mito y el sufrimiento. En la senda de Tomás de Aquino analizamos el concepto de mal en sí mismo y en ese contexto el de pena o sufrimiento inocente. En la línea de Luigi Pareyson analizamos la cuestión desde un punto de vista más experiencial. El objetivo de este documento es comprender lo que ambos autores nos dicen acerca del problema del dolor para ponerlos en diálogo y elaborar la propia síntesis que aquí presentamos.
Presencia de Agustín de Hipona y algunos filósofos antiguos en la noción filosófica de ira de Francisco de Sales
Authors: Téllez Maqueo David Ezequiel
Published: March 2023

El presente artículo tiene por objeto analizar la noción salesiana de ira desde una perspectiva filosófica, algo poco habitual entre sus intérpretes. Para ello, me propongo (1) primeramente encuadrar el tema a partir de la polémica de la filosofía antigua entre Séneca y Aristóteles sobre la moralidad de la ira y su valor antropológico, seguida de un análisis de la ira en Agustín de Hipona. Posteriormente (2), abordaré algunas consideraciones filosóficas de la ira realizadas por Francisco de Sales a través de los autores griegos, medievales y monásticos con los que se relaciona su pensamiento. Finalmente, (3) haré una valoración general de la postura salesiana sobre el valor moral de la ira, poniendo de relieve que, sin tratarse de un pensador propiamente estoico, Francisco de Sales se desmarca a grandes rasgos de la postura aristotélica.
Objeto y unidad de la lógica en Duns Escoto
Authors: Salinas Leal Héctor Hernando
Published: March 2023

En este trabajo se estudia la determinación escotista del objeto de la lógica, en tanto ciencia intencional común. La reflexión se concentra en la tercera de las Cuestiones a la Isagoge de Porfirio, donde Escoto presenta y evalúa varios candidatos al rol de objeto de la lógica. Teniendo como parámetro de evaluación un conjunto de condiciones a cumplir por el objeto de una ciencia, Escoto concluye que el objeto de la lógica es el silogismo. Sobre ese resultado, el artículo defiende la tesis de que, junto a dicho objeto, entendido como objeto propio, se puede inferir la presencia de un objeto común: las segundas intenciones. En cuanto al silogismo como objeto, se sostiene que este da unidad a la lógica por atribución y no por predicación.
«Quidditas Dei est ipsum suum esse». La hermenéutica del tomismo en confrontación: Lawrence Dewan frente a Étienne Gilson
Authors: Serra Pérez Manuel Alejandro
Published: March 2023

En el presente artículo se expone la crítica que Lawrence Dewan hizo de Étienne Gilson en torno a la fórmula quidditas Dei est ipsum suum esse, en la que el canadiense entiende que el medievalista francés ha errado interpretando que santo Tomás despoja a Dios de su esencia. Para ambos autores, el auténtico tomismo pasa necesariamente por la comprensión adecuada de esta fórmula en la que el ser y la esencia, a diferencia de los entes, se identifican. A través de este estudio trataremos de llegar a una respuesta sobre qué explicación es más cercana a la metafísica del Aquinate.

Este artículo trata sobre la postura práctica de Aquino ante dos grandes dificultades filosóficas actuales que se encuentran en la base del debate ético contemporáneo. Como son la Is-ought thesis de Hume y la síntesis radical de Moore, la Open question.

Les retraits féminins du marché du travail : un fait social invisibilisé par la catégorie statistique de l’inactivité professionnelle
Authors: Beaufils Constance
Published: March 2023

RésuméLes femmes durablement retirées du marché du travail, souvent appelées « femmes au foyer », sont peu étudiées dans le champ académique français. Cette invisibilité n’est pas sans enjeux. Elle entrave la compréhension de la stratification sociale, et perpétue des rapports sociaux de genre en niant la valeur du travail domestique. À partir des données longitudinales rétrospectives (enquête SIP 2006-1010), cet article dresse un bilan statistique des situations d’inactivité professionnelle déclarées par les hommes et les femmes et questionne ce manque d’intérêt. Nous montrons que les périodes d’inactivité professionnelle liées aux configurations familiales continuent de marquer une majorité de parcours de vie féminins, et peuvent être analysées comme un fait social. La catégorie statistique de l’inactivité professionnelle produit en partie leur invisibilité, car en plus de rendre difficile leur objectivation, elle les regroupe avec des situations aux caractéristiques très distinctes, notamment masculines.
AbstractWomen who are permanently withdrawn from the labour market, often called “housewives”, are little studied in the French academic field. This invisibility is not without its challenges. It hinders the understanding of social stratification and perpetuates gender relations by denying the value of domestic work. Using retrospective longitudinal data (SIP surveys 2006-1010), this article draws up a statisticalassessment of the situations of professional inactivity declared by men and women and questions this lack of interest. We show that periods of professional inactivity linked to family configurations continue to mark a majority of women’s life paths, and can be  analysed as a social fact. The statistical category of professional inactivity partly produces their invisibility, because in addition to making it difficult to objectify them, it groups them together with situations with very distinct characteristics, particularly for men.
The politics of models: Socio-political discourses in modeling of energy transition and transnational trade policies
Authors: Udrea Titus , Capari Leo , Bauer Anja
Published: March 2023

In this article, we discuss the (re)production of socio-political discourses in two modeling communities, energy transition and transnational trade. Methodologically, we build on bibliometric and qualitative analyses of academic articles. Our analyses show how models structure epistemic communities and are closely linked to specific discourses. The modeling of the energy transition is driven by and contributes to discourses on mitigating climate change and access to energy. Different trade models address either multilateral or regional trade, yet in each case favoring international trade. Overall, we illustrate how the ‘politics of models’ does not only concern their use at the science-policy interface, but is already inscribed in their development, application, and scientific exploitation. These analyses may help experts, policy makers, and the public to better assess the knowledge claims and evidence politics of computer modeling.

Selected grammatical categories in the Czech language as understood by non-Czech speaking students
Authors: Žvaková Kateřina
Published: March 2023

Teaching elementary Czech to university students is a challenging task. Given the profound complexity and numerous exceptions found in the Czech language system, a balance between oversimplification on the one hand and overwhelming students on the other hand needs to be sought. The objective of this study is to find out whether and to what extent do beginner Czech learners understand how selected grammatical categories work in Czech. The results imply that more attention should be paid to word formation processes as insufficient understanding of them was identified not only in students who were new to Czech but also in the control group.
The verb in a Czech sentence: How do foreign learners of the Czech language perceive the structure of a Czech sentence?
Authors: Koudelíková Tereza
Published: March 2023

The aim of this paper is to illustrate through two sentences how foreign learners perceive the structure of the Czech language. Respondents were asked to write answers on how the language works, what the syntactic relations of the sentence members are, and why the chosen words have their concrete forms with respect to the whole clause. The survey collected answers of a wide range of respondents with respect to both the number of years of studying the Czech language and their native language. After a brief introduction to the Czech language focusing mainly on the syntactic and morphological properties that were at the center of attention in this survey, the chosen survey questions are analyzed. It turned out that learners of the Czech language were willing to participate in this survey; in total the respondents provided answers in 95.7 % of cases, which helped to get more exact results. It emerged that respondents of the survey fully answered the questions correctly in 52.7 % of cases. The remaining 47.3 % of responses were either wrong or incomplete depending on the form of the question. The results of this survey lead us to the conclusion that it might be worth focusing more on the system of morphology and syntax while teaching Czech for foreigners. The complete list of answers with respect to the number of years of studying the Czech language is attached in the appendix.

Zn–Al–Mg coating galvanized steel in resistance spot welded (RSW) in different configurations of DC51D was investigated to illustrate the nugget evolution process and mechanical properties of the joints. Results show that the microstructure of welded joints can be divided into nugget zone (FZ), heat-affected zone (HAZ), and base metal zone (BM). FZ was composed of lath martensite. The average hardness value of the weld joint was 110 HV0.2 while the FZ was up to 300 HV0.2 due to the formation of lath martensite. The failure modes can be divided into interface fracture (IF) and pull-out fracture occurred (PF) under different welding parameters, in which shear dimples showed had a typical plastic fracture morphology. The best range for welding parameters was found to be 12–18 cycles in which the nugget diameter reached 5.5 mm. The process of nugget evolution in HAZ and FZ was discussed.

Authors: Dinušová Dominika
Published: March 2023

The study focuses on the conceptual development of Latin American revolutionary thought, capturing the trajectory in the formulation of revolutionary ideals along the evolutionary axis from independence to socialism. The aim of the study is to grasp and explain the evolution of revolutionary ideals in order to demonstrate the broader context of current social processes in Latin America through a historical-philosophical analysis of the ideological basis of social movements in the region. An analysis of the ideological contexts captured in the continuity of historical development, which affected the shaping and nature of the current transformation processes, may facilitate our understanding of the broader context of the articulated need for social change in the Latin American setting as well as of the current societal challenges pertinent to social change and innovation on a global scale.

In recent years, meta-analysis has evolved to a critically important field of Statistics, and has significant applications in Medicine and Health Sciences. In this work we briefly present existing methodologies to conduct meta-analysis along with any discussion and recent developments accompanying them. Undoubtedly, studies brought together in a systematic review will differ in one way or another. This yields a considerable amount of variability, any kind of which may be termed heterogeneity. To this end, reports of meta-analyses commonly present a statistical test of heterogeneity when attempting to establish whether the included studies are indeed similar in terms of the reported output or not. We intend to provide an overview of the topic, discuss the potential sources of heterogeneity commonly met in the literature and provide useful guidelines on how to address this issue and to detect heterogeneity. Moreover, we review the recent developments in the Bayesian approach along with the various graphical tools and statistical software that are currently available to the analyst. In addition, we discuss sensitivity analysis issues and other approaches of understanding the causes of heterogeneity. Finally, we explore heterogeneity in meta-analysis for time to event data in a nutshell, pointing out its unique characteristics.

This article has analyzed the splicing and coupling influence of cabling to fibers test links measurements. The simulative study for different free/forced vibration mechanics in MEMS is performed. Relative amplitude frequency plot for a cantilever beam, a double clamped beam (DCB), a cantilever beam with end mass, normal vibration of a clamped beam mass, a double clamped beam with axial force, normal vibration of a clamped beam mass are demonstrated by using MEMSolver simulation version 3.3. The frequency shift for DCB with axial force is clarified. The lowest modal frequencies of a square and round diaphragm are also reported. The lowest modal frequency of a bent beam suspension is simulated also. The dependence of mid-section of the folded beam on the resonance frequency and on the short leg of the serpentine beam are clarified. The displacement plot for a structure under free vibration with damping, the displacement plot for vibration under a step force with damping, amplitude frequency plot for vibration under harmonic force with damping and amplitude frequency plot for the vibration driven by the base excitation are also outlined in this work.
Numerical approximations of CNLS equations via UAH tension B-spline DQM
Authors: Kapoor Mamta , Joshi Varun
Published: March 2023

Via UAH tension B-spline DQM in the present research, numerical approximation of coupled Schrödinger equations in one and two dimensions is fetched. In the present research, a novel regime is generated as a fusion of a UAH tension B-spline of fourth-order and DQM to fetch the requisite weighting coefficients. To ensure the adaptability and effectiveness of the proposed regime, different numerical examples are elaborated. Present results are matched with previous results, and the elastic property is also validated for solitons. The fetched ordinary differential equations system is handled via the SSP-RK43 regime. The stability of the present method is verified via the matrix method. The robustness of the proposed regime is affirmed via error norms. The fetched results are acceptable and validated. Elasticity property via wave interaction is also covered in the present research. The present study also focuses on one very important property of physics, like elasticity, which is rarely discussed in the literature. The developed numerical regime will undoubtedly be useful in addressing various fractional partial differential equations of complex nature as well.
Assessment of paperboard large deformation at fold using digital image correlation technique

Published: March 2023

For coated paperboard with large deformations, there is limited knowledge on the mechanisms that lead to coating damage and on the key properties that affect damage. Large deformations produce complex non-linear mechanical responses which often result in significant internal damage. The objective of this work was to establish methods to directly measure local deformation at a fold using a stereo digital image correlation (DIC) technique and a folding device designed in-house. This allowed monitoring of deformation from both cross-section and surface views, from which curvature and strain could be analyzed. This approach allowed observation and quantification of the initiation and propagation of damage. Testing showed that elastic estimation of deformation is valid only at very small curvatures but is still qualitatively useful. It was found that CD fold line shows a lower strain than MD fold line at a given curvature, but it ultimately reaches a higher level of surface strain. Additionally, localized maximum surface strain was shown to correlate better with surface damage at fold than the average surface strain. Furthermore, the introduced discontinuity index can provide a useful tool to compare surface damage at fold even for paperboard samples with different thicknesses.

In this study, the effect of different concentrations of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) was evaluated as a pre-treatment for accelerated carbonation and its influence on the fibrillation of cellulosic pulps to obtain nanofibrils, and its application as a coating agent for papers. Eucalyptus (EUC) and Pine (PIN) unbleached cellulosic fibers were submitted to pre-treatment with Ca(OH)2 at concentrations of 5 and 10% and subjected to accelerated carbonation, being subsequently mechanically fibrillated to produce cellulose nanofibrils (CNF). Pretreatment with calcium hydroxide followed by accelerated carbonation provided a 35% reduction in energy consumption. Cellulosic pulps EUC and PIN pretreated with calcium hydroxide showed higher fibrillation efficiency. There was a reduction in the cobb test values for papers coated with CNF in PIN. The WVP was lower for papers coated with CNF of EUC and control PIN. The CNF coating of EUC and PIN provided an oil barrier for the kit 11 solution. The CNF coating improved the dispersion of PVA and PVOH. The papers coated in this work have the potential to be used as packaging for fatty and oily foods or as a spreading agent for other industrial coatings.
The source of eventive implications of mental property adjectives and nouns in Polish
Authors: Malicka-Kleparska Anna
Published: March 2023

In Generative Linguistics of the past 40 years an ever increasing stress was put on the intricacies of the information load contributed by morpho-syntactic structure above the level of the root. Roots, seen asnaked roots, entities without grammatical categories and arguments to be introduced into morpho-syntactic representations of clauses, contain basic encyclopaedic and phonological information. This paper seeks to show that the information coded by roots has to be more extensive; Roots representing Mental Property meanings in Polish have to apportion eventive arguments to explain diversities in the production of morpho-syntactic structures. To capture some interesting facts about the complementation of Mental Property adjectives in Polish and eventive implications of their cognate nominals, we have to resort to the representation of roots as entities responsible for apportioning arguments. Otherwise, our model would lack descriptive adequacy and it would make wrong predictions about Mental Property morpho-syntax of Polish. Extensive material of Polish Mental Property adjectival and nominal forms shows that eventiveness of some Mental Property adjectives and nominals is not a property of morpho-syntactic structures building such forms, but rather an idiosyncratic property of individual roots with Mental Property meanings. These findings may suggest that Mental Property adjectives and nominals in other languages may require a re-analyses which would take under consideration a possible non-structural, but lexical source of their eventiveness.
