The self and friend reference effects in episodic memory are maintained in older adults
Authors: Chirtop Gratiela , Bates Chloe , Martin Andrew
Published: August 2024

Objective: Self-referential information is better remembered than information encoded via semantic processing or in relation to others. Friend-referencing also enhances memory compared to more distant others, but its impact relative to self-referencing remains less understood. While older adults typically show declines in memory performance, it is unclear whether self- and friend-referencing advantages are preserved with age. Additionally, little is known about metamemory in self- versus friend-encoded information in older adults.Methods: Participants completed a surprise recognition memory task for adjectives encoded in relation to the self, a close friend, or a celebrity. Item and source memory accuracy were assessed, along with metamemory performance using confidence ratings.Results: Both young and older adults exhibited a self-reference effect, outperforming friend- and celebrity-referenced conditions. A friend-referencing advantage was also observed compared to celebrity-referenced items. Metacognitive sensitivity (meta d’) and efficiency (meta d’/d’) were comparable across age groups. A self-referencing effect for source memory was identified but was limited to positive words. Despite lower overall source memory accuracy, older adults showed similar biases in self- and friend-referencing as younger adults.Discussion: Self- and friend-referencing effects on episodic memory remain robust in older adults, offering potential strategies for improving memory retrieval in aging populations.
Testing Generative AI for Source Audits in Student-Produced Local News
Authors: Bhargava Rahul , Hadjis Elisabeth , Heckman Meg
Published: August 2024

This study tests the capacity of ChatGPT to measure the gender diversity and social standing of sources quoted in stories published by a university-based local news organization. Student journalists were more likely than their professional counterparts to quote women and frequently featured sources who are not “social elites.” We interrogate both sourcing practices and the ethics of generative AI, arguing that university-based local news organizations can serve as testing arenas for emerging technology.
Meeting decarbonization targets: Techno-economic insights from the Italian scenario
Authors: Beccarello Massimo , Di Foggia Giacomo
Published: August 2024

The European plan for a green transition includes the Fit for 55 package, designed to pave the way for climate neutrality. Despite its significant implications for cleaner technologies, it potentially correlates with high in vestment requirements, necessitating the pursuit of cost-effective environmental policies. Starting from the reference scenario previously envisaged in the Energy and Climate Plan, socioeconomic and environmental impacts are assessed using mixed methods. It is estimated that €1120 bn in investments are needed to meet decarbonization targets, while the total impact on public finance revenues to 2030 is projected at €529 bn. Additionally, the avoided costs of emissions amount to €36 bn, while those from energy savings are expected to reach €30 bn. This paper adds value by contributing to the literature on European climate policies, offering an indepth appraisal of implications that integrates technoeconomic and environmental perspectives. Furthermore, it informs policymakers' public spending decisions for decarbonization.
The Opinion Dynamics of Public Risk Perceptions & Policy Attitudes Toward Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI)
Authors: Motta Matt , Trujillo Kristin Lunz , Stecula Dominik , Callaghan Timothy , Ophir Yotam , Walter Dror
Published: August 2024

Background. A highly pathogenic strain of avian influenza (H5N1, or “bird flu”) began circulating across poultry farms worldwide in 2020. While the virus has been transmitted to mammals and humans in the past, media attention to the potential impact of H5N1 on human health following the documentation of unprecedented transmission between mammals in Spring 2024; including the prevalence of H5N1 in the commercial dairy supply.Objective. To quantify (a) the prevalence and (b) socio-political correlates (e.g., partisan identity, attitudes toward scientific expertise) of public concern about H5N1, as well as support for policy action aimed at reducing its potential risks to human health.Method. In a nationally representative longitudinal survey of N = 831 US adults, we asked respondents to answer a series of questions about the levels of concern about H5N1 transmission to humans, beliefs about the safety of consuming unpasteurized milk products, and support for government interventions aimed at reducing the public health risks posed by avian influenza outbreaks. Results. We find that a small minority of Americans express concern about the public health risks of H5N1, or reject misinformation about the safety of raw milk consumption. Low levels of concern and raw milk misinformation are in turn associated with opposition to policies aimed at reducing the public health risks borne by H5N1, as is both anti-intellectual attitude endorsement and partisan identification with the Republican Party. Conclusions. Public apathy about the public health risks borne by avian flu – and corresponding indifferences toward mitigating policy action – could undermine US pandemic preparedness. Lacking clear signals from the public to take action to address this important issue, policymakers may be reluctant to pursue policies that reduce avian influenza’s pandemic potential.
Towards a Translational News Ecology: Covering the 2022 Australian Federal Election on WeChat
Authors: Yang Fan , Fordyce Robbie , Heemsbergen Luke
Published: August 2024

This paper examines the 2022 Australian federal election coverage on WeChat for Australian audiences. We analyzed 3,462 public articles collected during May 2021 to May 2022 from 135 WeChat news services called WeChat Official Accounts (with 99 remaining active by the time of analysis). We found that diasporic Chinese media accounts had a more prominent role in shaping online discourses compared to China-based media accounts, Australia-based business accounts, or Australian politicians’ accounts. In reporting the 2022 Australian federal election, COVID-19 policies, the economy, immigration, and international relations with particular regard to Australia-China relations, were common themes. Our findings reveal the formation of a “translational news ecology” that bridges diasporic media to Australia’s English-speaking, mainstream public sphere which is primarily shaped by Australian national media and politicians. Notably, for future regulation of election media, we witness domestic political actors featuring paid advertisements or direct contributions on influential news service accounts including instances of misinformation sitting in a lacuna of active regulation from both Australian and Chinese states in managing platform content and labor in this space.

Authors: Adhikari Gyan Mani
Published: August 2024

Financial literacy empowers individuals to make informed financial behaviors, leading to better planning and management of life milestones like education, housing, savings, and retirement. This study analyzed the nexus between financial literacy and financial behavior among individuals by synthesizing existing theoretical frameworks and empirical research. The analysis reveals that financial literacy is significantly impacted by a combination of demographic (gender, income), educational (level), and personality characteristics (financial behavior, attitude, and influence). These findings highlight the multifaceted nature of financial literacy and financial behavior and underscore the need for targeted interventions that address the diverse factors shaping students' financial knowledge and decision-making abilities.

Value and Productive Labour in the Era of Digital Technologies
Authors: Sørensen Søren Bøgh
Published: August 2024

This article revisits the so-called digital labour debate to clarify and problematise the many different positions in this debate. Synthesising the most promising arguments from the different positions in the debate, the article outlines a theory of digital media usage as exploited, value-producing labour. In doing so, the article criticises the Autonomist Marxist tradition and argues for the utility of a value-form theoretical approach to the question of free digital labour. In conclusion, the article argues for more analytical attention to the ways in which technological developments in contemporary capitalism can engender new processes of production and thereby also new types of unpaid value-producing labour.

Two new species of the family Tobrilidae (Nematoda: Triplonchida) from West Bengal, India
Authors: Das T. , Das T. , Ghosh Jana T. , Ghosh G.
Published: August 2024

The article presents the first records of the genera Epitobrilus Tsalolikhin, 1981 and Eutobrilus Tsalolikhin, 1981 (Triplonchida: Tobrilidae), along with the description of two new species, Epitobrilus brachystomus sp. nov. and Eutobrilus minutus sp. nov., from paddy fields in West Bengal, India. Epitobrilus brachystomus sp. nov. differs from the congeners in having a relatively shorter stoma, distinct crustaformeria cells at the oviduct–uterus junction, five to six setae including a subterminal one in the tail region, and a longer tail with a distinct cuticular protrusion at the tip. Eutobrilus minutus sp. nov. can be distinguished from Eu. husmanni (Altherr, 1958) by the differences in the body size, the distance between the stomatal pockets, the tail length, and the presence of a subterminal setae. From another closely related species, Eu. nothus Gagarin, 1989, it differs in the ratio of the body length to the tail length (c), the tail length relative to its diametre (c′), the distance from the vulva to the anterior body end (V %), and in the distance between the stomatal pockets.
Bezpieczeństwo wewnętrzne państwa a procesy migracyjne
Authors: Opar Anna
Published: August 2024

Bezpieczeństwo stanowi jedną z podstawowych potrzeb człowieka i państwa. Zagadnienia bezpieczeństwa państwa nabierają szczególnego znaczenia w obliczu przemian będących skutkiem procesów globalizacji, integracji europejskiej i konfliktów wojennych w różnych regionach świata. Globalizacja powoduje nowe zagrożenia i ryzyko, z którymi coraz trudniej radzi sobie państwo. Globalizacja w znacznym stopniu dotyczy spraw politycznych. Organizacja Narodów Zjednoczonych grupuje 193 państwa. Poprzez swoje organy, jak Zgromadzenie Ogólne czy Rada Bezpieczeństwa, oraz wyspecjalizowane organizacje typu Międzynarodowy Fundusz Walutowy wpływa na decyzje lub działania państw członkowskich Zintegrowana Platforma Edukacyjna (zpe.gov.pl ostatni dostęp: 5.02.2024). W obliczu wyzwań związanych z napływem imigrantów do Polski odpowiednio zorganizowana kontrola procesów imigracyjnych, a zwłaszcza zjawiska nielegalnej migracji, powinna obejmować rozwiązania prawne, organizacyjne i instytucjonalne, które pozwolą z jednej strony na otwarcie się Polski na cudzoziemców, z drugiej zaś – na kontrolowanie procesów imigracyjnych, tak aby były one zgodne z interesami państwa.
Wartość dowodowa czynności realizowanych z osobą znajdującą się pod wpływem alkoholu lub środków odurzających
Authors: Bobko Marcin
Published: August 2024

Dowody osobowe stanowią, zarówno w ujęciu ogólnym, jak i praktycznym, najlepsze źródło informacji w odniesieniu do określonego zdarzenia, mogącego być przestępstwem. Z tego powodu czynności dokonywane z tymi osobami muszą być przeprowadzane w możliwie jak najbardziej skrupulatny sposób, a dowody z nich wywiedzione powinny cechować się rzetelnością. Muszą też odpowiadać przepisom procedury karnej. Celem opracowania jest ustalenie, czy czynności dowodowe przeprowadzone z osobami znajdującymi się pod wpływem alkoholu lub środków odurzających są zgodne ze standardami procesu i zasadą uregulowaną w art. 171 par. 7 k.p.k. odnośnie do swobody wypowiedzi. Została udowodniona teza, że dokonywane w ten sposób czynności dowodowe są sprzeczne z cytowaną zasadą, ponieważ obecność jakichkolwiek substancji w organizmie, nawet bez udziału organu prowadzącego postępowanie dowodowe, narusza jego reguły, a tym samym negatywnie oddziałuje na świadomość. Gdy organy ścigania lub procesowe przyjmują wyjaśnienia lub zeznania od osób będących pod wpływem alkoholu lub środków odurzających, to może dochodzić do niespójności i braku należytej precyzji czynności przeprowadzonych z nimi ze względu na możliwość nadmiernemu uleganiu presji przez te osoby, co skutkuje ich nieważnością w następnych etapach procesu dowodowego.

The article presents an algorithm for monitoring and periodic review of study programs in the university system for quality assurance in higher education. It is proved that the responsibility for quality assurance in higher education is delegated to the institutional level, where the learning process is directly planned, organized and implemented. The procedures and order of monitoring, periodic review and updating of study programs at five organizational levels of the internal quality assurance system (IQAS) are characterized. It was determined that information about stakeholders' satisfaction of the quality of training and their recommendations for further improvement of study programs is collected at the first level of the IQAS. The second level of IQAS (department) is responsible for monitoring the study programs and periodic review based on changes in the legislative framework, taking into account the best pedagogical education of Ukrainian and foreign universities, the results of stakeholder surveys, etc. Responsible persons of the third level of IQAS (faculty) control the deadlines, the process of preparation and completion of procedures for external quality assurance in higher education, periodic review of study programs, curricula, programs of subjects for their compliance with higher education standards, urgent requirements of the labor market, educational needs and the interests of students. At the fourth level of the IQAS, structural units monitor the content of study programs for compliance with the Licensing Requirements for Educational Activities, the regulatory framework of higher education of Ukraine, and the current regulatory university documents. The fifth level of the IQAS is responsible for monitoring compliance with the requirements of the internal quality assurance system, including the academic integrity system at all organizational levels. It is summarized that compliance with the procedure for monitoring and periodic review of study programs will allow the university to achieve strategic goal of providing high-quality educational services to students based on sustainable cooperation with stakeholders.

Social workers play a critical role in providing support and guidance to military families during deployment. They offer counseling services to help family members cope with the emotional challenges of separation and uncertainty.
 By creating a safe space for families to express their fears and concerns, social workers can facilitate the healing process and strengthen family bonds. In addition, social workers play an important role in bridging the communication gap between deployed personnel and their families by ensuring that important messages and updates are effectively communicated. In addition, social workers connect military families with resources and support networks to help them navigate the challenges of deployment. Whether it's access to mental health services, financial aid programs, or educational resources for children, social workers advocate for the well-being of military families.  In addition to the support provided by social workers, there are various programs and activities specifically designed to meet the needs of military families. Family therapy sessions are conducted to eliminate communication disorders and improve family relationships. These activities create a safe environment for family members to express their thoughts and feelings, ultimately fostering better understanding and cohesion.
The Sociolinguistic Dynamics of Grotesque and Satire
Authors: Liu Zhongxi
Published: August 2024

The grotesque and satire are common methods of expressing the comic in European and African American literature. This study identifies the distinctive features of the grotesque and satire in European and African American literature. Günter Grass in The Tin Drum, The Wide Field, The Rat, The Dog Years and Under Local Narcosis uses the grotesque as a primary means of representing the political and historical state of Germany. In Sula, Toni Morrison takes the reader into the opposite space. She blatantly exposes racism and the problems of African Americans, denouncing inequality and lack of freedom. These results allow us to comprehend and critically engage with the ways that these kinds of communication confront social reality and challenge societal norms by looking at the sociolinguistic dynamics of the grotesque and satire in German and African American literature.
The Future of Andrew Marvell
Authors: Tink James
Published: August 2024

The modern reputation of Andrew Marvell has developed from studies of his status as a metaphysical poet of time and scale, to more historicist investigations of his political engagements and a nascent liberal subjectivity. There are remaining questions about the precise ideas of futurity in his lyric poetry. This article identifies three themes in particular: the figure of the child as part of a discourse of heredity, the figure of the landscape in a process of change, notably in ‘Upon Appleton House’, and the singularly charismatic figure of Oliver Cromwell, especially in ‘An Horatian Ode’. It concludes by considering other potential notions of futurity as suggested through ecocriticism.
Into the Gray Zone
Authors: Sickle Ula
Published: August 2024

“Into the Gray Zone” conducts a theoretical analysis of the complex inter-mediality of the choreographic exhibition. Examining the inherent tensions that arise as live dance-based practice enters visual arts institutions, this article examines audience attention, individual and collective spectatorship, artistic labor and value, technology, and the influence of social media. It argues that the inter-medial nature of the choreographic exhibition and its porosity to online platforms and mobile communication provides a more accurate reflection of the mediated environments we are currently surrounded by, and living within, than the black box theater. How can dance-based practice be implemented in this gray zone of highly individuated and distracted attention in ways that can make our contemporary condition visible? How can it potentially, if temporarily, remediate these environments?

BACKGROUND

The prognosis for cancer patients has been improved because of the development of molecularly targeted drugs. Treatment of intracranial tumors must be personalized while prioritizing the treatment of comorbid cancers.

OBSERVATIONS

A 38-year-old man presented with bloody sputum, bilateral multiple nodules, and a mass in the lower lobe of his right lung. Bronchoscopy revealed stage IV lung adenocarcinoma with an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation. Screening head magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 38-mm-diameter mass in the left petroclival area. Because the patient was neurologically intact, the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma was prioritized, and the third-generation EGFR–tyrosine kinase inhibitor osimertinib was used. Although nodules in the lung began to shrink, the intracranial lesion expanded and caused hydrocephalus, necessitating a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. The tumor also caused diplopia, dysarthria, and gait abnormalities. A left anterior transpetrosal approach was used to remove the tumor derived from the trochlear nerve. The pathological examination revealed schwannoma. Neurological symptoms improved following surgery. Osimertinib was continued during the perioperative period.

LESSONS

Osimertinib was effective for lung adenocarcinoma but not for trochlear nerve schwannoma, which required surgical intervention. It is necessary to tailor the treatment of benign brain tumors in patients with concurrent malignant cancers.

BACKGROUND

Spinal cord diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is a relatively rare disease with a poor prognosis and no effective treatment.

OBSERVATIONS

A 45-year-old man presented with rapidly progressive paraplegia in both lower extremities, along with bladder and bowel disturbance. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a heterogeneously contrast-enhanced mass at the T1–4 levels. A biopsy via T1–4 decompressive laminectomy with expansive duraplasty was performed. The histopathological diagnosis was DMG, H3K27-altered, World Health Organization grade 4. Radiation plus concomitant temozolomide was started; however, follow-up MRI showed tumor progression. Additional hypofractionated radiotherapy (HFRT; 24 Gy/5 fractions) was performed, with bevacizumab (BEV) plus low-dose ifosfamide-carboplatin-etoposide (ICE) as second-line treatment. One month later, MRI showed tumor regression with significant improvement in the peritumoral edema. The chemotherapy regimen was repeated every 4–6 weeks, and the patient remained stable. After 13 courses of chemotherapy, the size of the spinal DMG increased markedly, with dissemination to the temporal lobe. The patient died approximately 21 months after the initial diagnosis.

LESSONS

Spinal DMG is a malignant tumor with a poor prognosis. However, treatment with additional HFRT combined with BEV plus low-dose ICE may inhibit tumor progression to prolong the progression-free period and survival.

Bearish and Bullish Markets
Authors: Dobrić Basaneže Katja
Published: August 2024

This paper deals with metaphorical collocations of the noun market extracted from an English web corpus. It also categorizes them according to the list of conceptual metaphors proposed by Lakoff et al. (1991). It suggests that in order to arrive at the proper classification of images that operate in the background of collocations, we need to take into account the etymology of collocate, the historical context of its occurrence, as well as the specialized knowledge created by the combination of the base and the collocate. The results of the paper suggest that combining the cognitive and the corpus linguistics approach to the study of metaphorical collocations helps us detect the conceptual image in a significant number of these phraseological units, which in turn elucidates the role of metaphor in the emergence of collocations.
O pokajanju, svetoj Margariti i đavlu
Authors: Dürrigl Marija-Ana
Published: August 2024

U radu se analiziraju kompozicijske i motivske odrednice moralnopoučnoga teksta iz hrvatskoglagoljskoga „Grškovićeva zbornika“ iz 16. stoljeća. To je kompilacija dvaju dijelova koji su labavo povezani motivom posta i molitve. Prvi dio s izrazitim persuazivnim tonom kroz primjere biblijskih osoba i svetaca poziva na obraćenje i krepostan život. Drugi je dio oblikovan kao prijepor, odnosno pitanja i odgovori između sv. Margarite i đavla. U potonjem (pod)žanru koji je preuzet iz jedne od inačica legende o sv. Margariti, ista se poruka iskazuje via negationis, kroz riječi đavla. Tema i adhortacija zajedničke su većem broju glagoljskih sastava, a ovaj je tekst odabran kao zoran primjer srednjovjekovne književnosti koja se temeljila na varijaciji i kompilaciji, a ne na traženju izvornosti.
Von der puppe zum schmetterling
Authors: Hollós Zita
Published: August 2024

Der vorliegende Beitrag hat einen lexikographischen und damit einen praxisorientierten Schwerpunkt. Im Mittelpunkt stehen metaphorische deutsche Kollokationen mit dem Strukturtyp Verb+Adv, die im KolleX (2023), einem datenbankbasierten und korpusgestützten, deutsch-ungarischen syntagmatischen Lernerwörterbuch (vgl. Hollós 2004) kodifiziert wurden. Die Zielsetzung damit ist zweierlei, erstens die Markierungspraxis des korpusgestützten Kollokationslexikons KolleX kurz vorzustellen und zweitens eine leicht operationalisierbare Methodologie für die Kodifizierung metaphorischer Kollokationen für zweisprachige (lerner)lexikographische Projekte vorzuschlagen. Dadurch wird nicht nur eine wörterbuchkritische Auseinandersetzung angestrebt, sondern gleichzeitig mit Hilfe der größeren, korpusgestützt gewonnenen Materialgrundlage auch das Phänomen „metaphorische Kollokation“ eines bestimmten Typs theoretisch besser bestimmen zu können.
Uloga konceptualizacije društvenih jedinica mikro-, mezo- i
makrorazine u tvorbi metaforičkih kolokacija s osnovama osoba, obitelj i narod
Authors: Stojić Aneta , Jurčević Jana
Published: August 2024

U radu se istražuje uloga značenja kolokacijskih osnova koje predstavljaju konceptualizaciju društvenih jedinica mikro-, mezo- i makrorazine – osoba, obitelj i narod u tvorbi metaforičkih kolokacija. S ciljem odgovaranja na glavno istraživačko pitanje: jesu li obrasci kolokacijskog slaganja međusobno povezani i u kojoj su mjeri podudarni za pojmove koji tvore isto leksičko-semantičko polje (LSP), provedena je leksičko-semantička analiza. Ona je potpomognuta korpusnim podacima iz hrvatskog mrežnog korpusa hrWac u vidu kvantitativne analize dobivene korištenjem aplikacije Sketch Engine. Utvrđene metaforičke kolokacije analizirane su i sistematizirane u skladu s tipologijom teorije konceptualne metafore (Lakoff, Espenson i Schwartz 1991). Svrha je ove analize istražiti obrasce kolokacijskog slaganja za pojmove koji pripadaju istom leksičko-semantičkom polju te utvrditi stupanj njihove podudarnosti. Glavni rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na neupitan doprinos konceptualne metafore i metonimije procesima kolokacijskog slaganja, te demonstriraju veliku podudarnost metaforičkih i metonimijskih prijenosa kod koncepata istog leksičko-semantičkog polja. Međutim, uočene su i značajne razlike u konceptualizaciji pojmova za društvene jedinice različitih razina socijalne stvarnosti. To rezultira varijabilnošću kolokatora s kojima osnove osoba, obitelj i narod formiraju kolokacijsku svezu u jezičnom ostvaraju te nastankom specifičnih kolokacijskih obrazaca vidljivih na sintagmatskoj razini. [1] [1] Ovaj je rad financirala Hrvatska zaklada za znanost projektom Metaforičke kolokacije – sintagmatske sveze između semantike i pragmatike (IP-2020-02-6319).

ANALYSIS OF WORLD ENGLISH FEATURES IN THE GOVERNMENT ENGLISH TEXTBOOK
Authors: Lasito Lasito
Published: August 2024

Abstract: The teaching of English has become entangled between standard English and regional varieties of English in light of sociolinguistics of globalization. Supported by World Englishes (WE) paradigm, English varieties created for local audiences are thought to improve standard English. Yet, due to the lack of teaching resources (such as textbooks) that address WE perspectives, it may be challenging to show WE as both a paradigm and a reality that is constantly present in the development of teaching English in a regional context. The purpose of this study is to identify any instances of WE perspectives on pedagogy in a textbook that had received government endorsement and to highlight any suggestive characteristics that help to make these WE perspectives operational. Analysis was conducted multimodally to texts and images on the content of learning materials presented in the textbook. Analysis to content and presentation of the textbook indicates that using local language effectively helps local learners understand the differences between the two forms of English without undervaluing the less widely used variety as a foreign language. Findings of this study also suggest that when teachers comprehend the relationship between local culture and the English language taught to the students, this might lead to the deployment of a pedagogical tool that allows various perspectives for language teaching and learning.Keywords: World English, standard English, local varieties, textbook, content
