Published: March 2022

Ο αριθμός των παιδιών που ζουν σε συνθήκες φτώχειας είναι πολύ μεγάλος σε όλες τις ανεπτυγμένες χώρες και η συζήτηση της ανάπτυξης σ’ αυτά πλήθους ψυχολογικών προβλημάτων καλά εδραιωμένη. Ωστόσο, έλλειμμα παρατηρείται στη βιβλιογραφία ως προς τη διενέργεια ομαδικών ψυχολογικών παρεμβάσεων σε φτωχά παιδιά και κατ’ επέκταση στην αξιολόγηση της έκβασής τους και των ομαδικών διαδικασιών που αναπτύσσονται στη διάρκειά τους. Γι’ αυτό, σκοπός της παρούσας μελέτης ήταν η διερεύνηση της έκβασης και των ομαδικών διαδικασιών ενός ψυχοεκπαιδευτικού προγράμματος 10 συναντήσεων, σχεδιασμένου να ενισχύσει την ψυχική ανθεκτικότητα και την ψυχολογική ευζωία φτωχών προ-εφήβων στο σχολικό πλαίσιο. Στην έρευνα συμμετείχαν 270 μαθητές (131 αγόρια, 139 κορίτσια) της ΣΤ΄ Δημοτικού (Μ.Ο.ηλικίας=11.07, Τ.Α.=0.26), από τους οποίους οι 145 συγκρότησαν την πειραματική ομάδα και οι 125 την ομάδα ελέγχου, που δεν έλαβε καμίας μορφής παρέμβαση. Η αξιολόγηση της αποτελεσματικότητας του προγράμματος επιχειρήθηκε συλλέγοντας δεδομένα δύο εβδομάδες πριν-και-μετά την παρέμβαση και επαναληπτικά, έπειτα από δύο μήνες, μέσω ερωτηματολογίων που συμπλήρωσαν οι μαθητές και μετρούσαν το επίπεδο της ψυχικής ανθεκτικότητας και της ψυχολογικής ευζωίας τους. Οι ομαδικές διαδικασίες διερευνήθηκαν χορηγώντας, μετά τη λήξη κάθε συνάντησης της παρέμβασης, ερωτηματολόγια αυτοαναφοράς που ανίχνευαν τους θεραπευτικούς παράγοντες, τη θεραπευτική συμμαχία, το ομαδικό κλίμα και την αντίληψη για τις διευκολυντικές στάσεις της συντονίστριας. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν στατιστικά σημαντική αύξηση του επιπέδου της ψυχικής ανθεκτικότητας και της ψυχολογικής ευζωίας μόνο στους συμμετέχοντες της πειραματικής ομάδας. Ακόμη, το αυξημένο επίπεδο των εν λόγω μεταβλητών φάνηκε να διατήρειται κατά την επαναληπτική μέτρηση. Όσον αφορά τις ομαδικές διαδικασίες, αναδύθηκαν όλοι οι θεραπευτικοί παράγοντες και η σημασία τους μεταβλήθηκε αναλόγως του σταδίου ανάπτυξης της ομάδας. Επίσης, παρατηρήθηκε εξ αρχής θετικό ομαδικό κλίμα, θετική θεραπευτική συμμαχία και θετική αντίληψη για τις διευκολυντικές στάσεις της συντονίτριας, τα οποία βελτιώθηκαν, περαιτέρω, με στατιστικά σημαντικό τρόπο, στη διάρκεια της παρέμβασης. Η πρακτική αξία των ευρημάτων και προτάσεις μελλοντικής έρευνας συζητώνται.

Στόχος της παρούσας διατριβής είναι, μέσω του υπομνηματισμού του 6ου Λόγου των Μεθ’ Όμηρον του Κόιντου Σμυρναίου, να αναδειχθεί η μέθοδος με την οποία εργάστηκε ο ποιητής ώστε να συνθέσει, μια χιλιετία μετά τον Όμηρο, το «ομηρικότερο» από τα έργα της μεταγενέστερης επικής ποίησης. Μέσω μιας εκ του σύνεγγυς ανάγνωσης, επιχειρείται να εντοπιστούν οι τρόποι με τους οποίους επεξεργάζεται και μεταπλάθει το ομηρικό υλικό, περνώντας το από το φίλτρο της ελληνιστικής ποίησης, και ιδίως του δεύτερου σημαντικού προτύπου του, του Απολλώνιου Ρόδιου, αλλά και λαμβάνοντας υπόψη του ζητήματα που είχαν απασχολήσει την ομηρική κριτική της αρχαιότητας. Στην εισαγωγή συζητούνται κυρίως θέματα που αφορούν τη δομή του έπους και τη θέση του 6ου Λόγου σε αυτό και διατυπώνεται μια υπόθεση για τον τρόπο με τον οποίο το σχεδίασε και το συνέθεσε ο Κόιντος.
Managing Driving Modes in Automated Driving Systems
Authors: Ríos Insua David , Caballero William N. , Naveiro Roi
Published: March 2022

Current technology is unable to produce massively deployable, fully automated vehicles that do not require human intervention. Given that such limitations are projected to persist for decades, scenarios requiring a driver to assume control of a semiautomated vehicle, and vice versa, will remain a feature of modern roadways for the foreseeable future. Herein, we adopt a comprehensive perspective of this problem by simultaneously considering operational design domain supervision, driver and environment monitoring, trajectory planning, and driver-intervention performance assessment. More specifically, we develop a modeling framework for each of the aforementioned functions by leveraging decision analysis and Bayesian forecasting. Utilizing this framework, a suite of algorithms is subsequently proposed for driving-mode management and early warning emission, according to a management by exception principle. The efficacy of the developed methods is illustrated and examined via a simulated case study.
Dispersal of Hoffmannia excelsa (Rubiaceae) by the Toltec fruit-eating bat (Artibeus toltecus) in central Veracruz, México

Published: March 2022

En esta nota reportamos el consumo del fruto y dispersión no endozoócora de semillas de una especie vegetal que no había sido mencionada en la dieta de los murciélagos, y que no presenta las características típicas de quiropterocoria.  Este evento fue registrado mientras realizábamos capturas nocturnas con redes de niebla, en fragmentos de vegetación secundaria en el área metropolitana de la ciudad de Xalapa de Enríquez, México.  Un ejemplar hembra de Artibeus toltecus, capturada en junio de 2018, llevaba consigo dos frutos de Hoffmannia excelsa (Rubiaceae).  Aunque H. excelsa es un arbusto común en el centro de Veracruz, éste es el primer registro conocido de dispersión en esta especie, llevada a cabo por murciélagos.  El consumo de este fruto, con características ornitócoras, posiblemente obedece a una situación de oportunismo frente a un recurso temporalmente abundante.

Inside the black box: domestic homicide reviews as a source of data
Authors: Rowlands James , Bracewell Kelly
Published: March 2022

Domestic Homicide Reviews (DHRs) are a statutory review process to better understand domestic homicide in England and Wales. As a policy intervention, DHRs are intended to build a picture of the circumstances before such deaths and identify gaps in practice, policy and system response. The rationale is that this learning can improve response to domestic violence and abuse and reduce the likelihood of future homicides. However, little is known about how the DHR process operates, including how knowledge is produced or its subsequent use, including any outcomes. In effect, for the most part, DHRs are a ‘black box’. Yet, researchers are increasingly using DHR reports as a source of data. By locating ourselves within these processes, this article explores the implications of limited engagement with DHRs as a process of knowledge generation to date. It focuses on the implications for researchers, in particular the epistemological and methodological issues that arise, before considering what this might mean for policy and practice. It identifies recommendations to address key gaps in the understanding and use of DHRs for research purposes.
Characterization of the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy near the gas–liquid two-phase interface

Published: March 2022

The characterization of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) near the gas–liquid two-phase interface was investigated with the laser acting on the sample along the horizontal direction. Simulation of the laser beam focusing process and observation of laser beam spot images show that difference in focusing positions in the air and the solution results from refraction of the laser beam entering the solution from the air and the change of propagation direction on the container lateral. The peak power and mean irradiance of the focused laser beam spot increase with the distance away from the interface, which is attributed to the fact that the loss of laser energy due to the refraction and reflection of light at the interface decreases with the focusing position moving away from the interface. This variation trend of laser irradiance allows for the growth of the spectral line intensity and lifetime with increasing the distance from the interface. The plasma electron density and temperature decrease with the delay time but increase with the distance away from the interface at the same delay time. Our findings help us to gain more insight into the characteristics and evolution mechanisms of LIBS produced near the gas–liquid two-phase interface, which provides theoretical guidance for the correction of LIBS spectra especially in water pollution monitoring.

Published: March 2022

Understanding inter-site mutual mode interaction in coupled physical systems is essential to comprehend large compound systems, as this local interaction determines the successive multiple inter-site energy transfer efficiencies. In the present study, we demonstrate that only the non-Hermitian coupling can correctly account for the light transfer between two coupled optical cavities. We also reveal that the non-Hermitian coupling effect becomes crucial as the system dimension decreases. Our results provide important insight for handling general-coupled devices in the subwavelength regime.

Published: March 2022

Guangxi chickens play a crucial role in promoting the high-quality development of the broiler industry in China, but their value and potential are yet to be discovered. To determine the genetic diversity and population structure of Guangxi indigenous chicken, we analyzed the whole genomes of 185 chickens from 8 phenotypically and geographically representative Guangxi chicken breeds, together with 12 RJFt, 12 BRA and 12 WL genomes available from previous studies. Calculation of heterozygosity (Hp), nucleotide diversity (π), and LD level indicated that Guangxi populations were characterized by higher genetic diversity and lower differentiation than RJFt and commercial breeds except for HGFC. Population structure analysis also confirmed the introgression from commercial broiler breeds. Each population clustered together while the overall differentiation was slight. MA has the richest genetic diversity among all varieties. Selective sweep analysis revealed BCO2, EDN3 and other candidate genes had received strong selection in local breeds. These also provided novel breeding visual and data basis for future breeding.

The Child Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (CEBQ) and the Adult Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (AEBQ) measure ‘food approach’ [Food responsiveness (FR); Emotional overeating (EOE); Enjoyment of food (EF); Desire to Drink] and ‘food avoidant’ [Satiety responsiveness (SR); Emotional undereating (EUE); Food fussiness (FF); Slowness in eating (SE)] appetitive traits (ATs) in children and adults, respectively. ‘Food approach’ traits predispose to overweight while ‘food avoidance’ traits provide protection, but little is known about the relationships between parents’ and their offspring’s ATs. The aim was to examine the associations between maternal and child appetitive traits, using the AEBQ-Esp and CEBQ-Mex adapted for use in Mexican populations. Sociodemographic data, weights and heights of mothers and their children (aged 3–13 years), who were recruited from a teaching hospital in Guadalajara, Mexico, were measured. Mothers completed both the AEBQ-Esp and the CEBQ-Mex. The CEBQ-Mex was developed, and its reliability was tested using Cronbach’s alpha and Omega, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to assess its validity. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were used to assess associations between mothers’ and children’s Ats. The sample included 842 mother-child dyads (mother’s mean age = 34.8±SD6.9 years, BMI 29.7±6.1 kg/m2; children’s mean age = 8.5 ±SD2.5 years, BMIz 1.5±1.6). Internal reliability was moderate to high [Cronbach alpha = .68-.86; Omega = .71-.87] for the CEBQ-Mex and validity was confirmed for an 8-factor model through CFA [RMSEA = 0.065; CFI = 0.840, NFI = 0.805; IFI = 0.842; and χ2(df = 532) = 2939.51, p < 0.001]. All but one of the children’s appetitive traits showed small to moderate, significant correlations with their mother’s counterpart [FR (r =.22; p<001); EOE (r =.30; p < .001); EF (r =.15; < .001); SR (r =.16; p < .001); EUE (r =.34; p < .001) and FF (r =.14; p < .001). Only SE was not significantly associated with maternal SE (r =.01; p>.05). ATs tend to run in families, signalling the intergenerational transmission of eating behaviours. These may be useful targets for family-wide interventions to support the development and maintenance of healthy eating behaviours in childhood.
Mechanisms of arrhythmia termination during acute myocardial ischemia: Role of ephaptic coupling and complex geometry of border zone
Authors: Wei Ning , Tolkacheva Elena G.
Published: March 2022

Myocardial ischemia occurs when blood flow to the heart is reduced, preventing the heart muscle from receiving enough oxygen required for survival. Several anatomical and electrophysiological changes occur at the ischemic core (IC) and border zone (BZ) during myocardial ischemia, for example, gap junctional remodeling, changes in ionic channel kinetics and electrophysiologic changes in cell excitability, which promote the development of cardiac arrhythmia. Ephaptic coupling (EpC), which is an electrical field effect developed in the shared cleft space between adjacent cells, has been suggested to rescue the conduction when gap junctions are impaired, such as myocardial ischemia. In this manuscript, we explored the impact of EpC, electrophysiological and anatomical components of myocardial ischemia on reentry termination during non-ischemic and ischemic condition. Our results indicated that EpC and BZ with complex geometry have opposite effects on the reentry termination. In particular, the presence of homogeneous EpC terminates reentry, whereas BZ with complex geometry alone facilitates reentry by producing wave break-up and alternating conduction block. The reentry is terminated in the presence of homogeneous or heterogeneous EpC despite the presence of complex geometry of the BZ, independent of the location of BZ. The inhibition of reentry can be attributed to a current-to-load mismatch. Our results points to an antiarrhythmic role of EpC and a pro-arrhythmic role of BZ with complex geometry.
A comprehensive but practical methodology for selecting biological indicators for long-term monitoring
Authors: Puig-Gironès Roger , Real Joan
Published: March 2022

The selection of the many biological indicators described in scientific literature is rarely based on systematic or clear-cut processes, and often takes into account only a single or very few taxa, or even disregards the complex interactions that exist between the components of biodiversity. In certain cases, the particular context of a site–for example in the Mediterranean Basin–makes it difficult to apply the choice of indicators to other regions proposed in the literature. Therefore, the selection of appropriate methodologies for generating relevant indicators for a particular site is of crucial importance. Here, we present a simple quantitative methodology capable of incorporating multidisciplinary information for assessing and selecting appropriate methods and indicators for monitoring local biodiversity. The methodology combines several ecological levels (species, habitats, processes, and ecosystem disturbances), and embraces biological interactions and common functional guilds (detritivores, producers, herbivores, and carnivores). We followed an iterative selection procedure consisting of five phases: 1) collection focal area useful information; 2) classification of this information into interrelated datasets; 3) assessment and selection of the relevant components using a quantitative relevance index; 4) the adding of taxonomic, physiognomic and functional similarities to the relevant components; and 5) the quantitative selection of the priority indicators in the study area. To demonstrate the potential of this methodology, we took as a case study the biodiversity components and their ecological interactions present in a protected area. We show that our methodology can help select appropriate local and long-term indicators, reduce the number of components required for thorough biodiversity monitoring, and underline the importance of ecological processes.
Tentative diagnosis and monitoring using ultrasound in a cat with pansteatitis: a case report
Authors: Kang Hyesun , Noh Daji , Lee Sang-Kwon , Lee Kija
Published: March 2022

A 7-year-old Scottish Straight cat presented with hypersalivation and generalized hyperesthesia. The cat was provided tuna-based food for 2 to 3 weeks before clinical symptoms appeared. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a heterogeneous, hyperechoic mesentery with hypoechoic foci. Pansteatitis was tentatively diagnosed and the cat was treated with vitamin E, anti-inflammatory drugs, and dietary changes. The clinical signs and changes in mesenteric fat on serial ultrasonography resolved. After feeding tuna-based food again, the same clinical signs and mesenteric changes on ultrasound recurred, which recovered through the same treatment. This study suggests that ultrasonography can be useful for diagnosis and monitoring of feline pansteatitis.
Collaborative Commerce Model for SMEs A Knowledge and Resources Sharing Mechanism for Co Creation
Authors: Purwaningsih Mardiana , Purwandari Betty , Mishbah Muhammad , Putra Panca Oktavia Hadi
Published: March 2022

As a response to the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) must collaborate and work together; namely, using collaborative commerce (c-commerce). To some extent, SMEs have taken advantage of various web, e-marketplace, and social media resources to collaborate in their business activities. However, this only occurs to a partial extent. Consequently, a study was conducted to build a conceptual model of c-commerce for SMEs, for use as a standard in these collaborative activities. Data collection was performed through in-depth interviews, observation, and literature reviews. The sample selection was done via purposive sampling; specifically, SMEs’ fashion products with high personalisation and good production quality. The conceptual model of c-commerce is based on the Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), a suitable method for building models for new and complex ecosystems. The conceptual model is compared with a rich picture and then analysed. The final result of the conceptual model is employed to construct a c-commerce system for SMEs in creating joint products and sharing resources with their stakeholders.
Arctic Connectivity: A Frugal Approach to Infrastructural Development
Authors: Simonsen Abildgaard Mette , Ren Carina , Leyva-Mayorga Israel , Stefanovic Cedomir , Soret Beatriz , Popovski Petar
Published: March 2022

As the Arctic is heating up, so are efforts to strengthen connectivity within the region, enhance the connections from remote settlements to the global networks of trade, and increase sociality. With global interest in the Arctic on the rise, it becomes increasingly relevant to ensure that investments in Arctic infrastructure actually serve the people of the Arctic, while promoting industrial and commercial innovation in the region through widespread access to broadband and Internet of things (IoT) services. This challenge calls for interdisciplinary research strategies that are able to connect and integrate technological and societal approaches, which are commonly applied in isolation from one another. In this article, we propose an interdisciplinary collaborative research agenda for Arctic connectivity. Drawing on examples from Greenland, we stress the need for localized knowledge to design valuable and cost-effective connectivity solutions that cover the needs for everyday life and may also provide a new set of collaborative connectivity tools for innovation at an international level. Such solutions, termed “frugal connectivity,” are vital for the development of connected Arctic communities.

Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA): moving past the taboo and into the postcolonial
Authors: McRobert Korinna
Published: March 2022

This paper defines the practice of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) specifically, explaining the choice of words and giving accepted definitions, as well as offering a definition of its own, i.e. that CSA is the disempowering and overpowering of children through sexual means. The paper aims to give an overview of the societal factors contributing to how CSA is framed and received in mainstream society. Throughout this piece of writing the concept of a taboo is used as an analytical category. The paper aims at presenting a wide-ranging view of the practice of CSA, using the writer’s main societal reference point, that of the Anglo world, specifically calling on examples from the United Kingdom (UK) to contextualise the argument. The discussion frames CSA as a taboo, illustrating this through historical inquiry, with a focus on the evolution of morality surrounding the sexuality of children and the nature of acceptable sexual relations during the period of childhood. A (CSA) survivor perspective is offered in the form of personal biographical confession, as well as survivor narratives that are explored more broadly, pointing to those that society deems acceptable, or not. A triangulation between the taboo nature of the practice, the stigma it generates and the effect it has on childhood is drawn up. The impending effects of shame in processing CSA are explored in respect to disclosure and rehabilitation for those disclosing, but also for those being disclosed to, and society at large. Finally, a nuanced postcolonial approach is proposed, whereby CSA is framed as an invasion or overpowering of a body in much the same way one nation-state invades, land-grabs or takes legislative and governmental control over another landmass during the process of colonisation.
Democratic movements in Lebanon and children’s understanding of their rights
Authors: Sabbagh Rajaa
Published: March 2022

Children’s rights should be applicable for children, and be acknowledged by children themselves and practice them in the present and future lives. The increasing awareness and concern about children’s rights need a thorough investigation of how children themselves understand their rights. The aim of this study is to analyze the perspective of children in Lebanon of their rights and examine the impact of democratic movements on their understanding of their rights. A qualitative research methodology was employed and data were gathered in the form of semi-structured VoIP interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the collected data. The analysis presented in this paper signifies that the democratic movements are being both a source and an approach of recognizing and practising children’s rights, especially the right to participate, freedom of expression, and equality, along with the right to education, social security, and protection from all forms of abuse. Hence, it could be concluded that democratic movements are important in constructing and reconstructing children’s understanding of their rights.
Enhancing English spatial prepositions acquisition among Spanish learners of English as L2 through an embodied approach
Authors: Boieblan Mostafa
Published: March 2022

English spatial prepositions posit a great challenge to Spanish learners of English as an L2 due to the broad cross-linguistic differences in how languages structure space. Furthermore, a teaching methodology that could assist these learners in understanding these differences is absent because the pedagogical treatment of spatial language draws on the longstanding assumption that the relation between this kind of language and its meaning is rather arbitrary. Yet, research within the embodiment approach to language and cognition has attested that the use of spatial prepositions is motivated by geometric and functional properties offigureandgroundand how these interact in space. This study examines whether instructing Spanish learners on these properties will enhance their performance. 74 participants at a B1 level were randomized to either receive an embodied approach-based training on spatial prepositions (n = 37) or to the control group (n = 37) without this training. Both groups were presented with a cloze test (60 sentences) on six spatial prepositions,in, on, at, to, into,andontoon pre- and post-test conditions. Scores for both groups were analyzed using ANCOVA with pre-test scores as covariate. Data analysis yields statistically significant results attesting the effectiveness of the Embodiment Approach.

Requirements for quality assurance from the directive REI Mining and other regulations
Authors: Heinrich T. , Knobus B.
Published: March 2022

Many requirements for the quality assurance of the licensee and the independent measuring centre can be derived from the Directive for the “Surveillance of emission and immission of mining work” (REI Mining). However, these should be viewed within the context of “Instructions of measurement related to the surveillance of radioactivity in the environment and to the registration of radioactive emissions from nuclear installations” (MA). Further, it would be advisable to compare the REI Mining requirements to both the Directive for the “Surveillance of emission and immission from nuclear installations” (REI) as well as to the “General administration order to the integrated measuring and information system of the precautionary Radiation Protection Act” (AVV-IMIS). In this article, the various requirements are compared, their common and different aspects are discussed, and possible conclusions for the licensee, the independent measuring centre and the authority of supervision and licencing are presented.
Photon dosimetry using selective data sampling with Particle Swarm optimization algorithm based on NaI(Tl) scintillation detector
Authors: Taheri Balanoji Seyed Mortaza , Zaki Dizaji Hossein , Abdi Saray Akbar
Published: March 2022

Sodium Iodide doped with Thallium NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors have potential for the development of an active dosimeter for photon radiation. We aim to show that the photon dosimetry response for NaI(Tl) scintillation detector may be optimized by employing the Particle Swarm optimization algorithm, when the selective data sampling is applied for the detector readout. In this work, Sodium Iodide doped with Thallium NaI(Tl) scintillation detector is considered due to being highly sensitive to gamma radiation, and one of the affordable room temperature detectors. In this research, we intend to measure the dosimetry response of the NaI(Tl) detector for various gamma sources, as an example, by measuring the ambient dose equivalent H*(10) for different gamma radioactive sources. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the photon dosimetry response may be well optimized for various energies, especially at lower energies, by increasing the energy interval number in data sampling over the NaI(Tl) scintillation detector readout with the help of an optimization algorithm. The simulation software Geant4 has been used for determining the NaI(Tl) scintillation detector readout. To this end, experimental ambient dose equivalent measurements for gamma radiation sources are compared with the theoretical results. As three and six energy intervals are considered for the selective data sampling along with an optimization algorithm based on NaI(Tl) detector output, the error percentage will be less than 20 and 10%, respectively.

Published: March 2022

Health Information Literacy (HIL) influences the decision making of individuals towards the understanding of health-related matters. Married women are the major contributors to family members’ health decisions in a country like Pakistan, where the role of women in family life is very significant. In most families, women are responsible for food selection, cooking, management of the home, including cleanliness etc. Married working women have an integral role both at home and workplace. The current study explores the everyday health information literacy (EHIL) of 213 married working women using a survey research design with a convenient sampling technique from two prominent universities of Lahore, Pakistan. The study’s findings reveal that most of the married working women (3.57 mean value) are well-aware of the sources from where the health-related information can be obtained. Sixty-two percent of the respondents prefer using allopathic healthcare methods for medical treatment. Moreover, 38 percent of women do not understand health-related terminologies. It has been noted that age, education, nature of the job, birthplace, nuclear family system, and educational environment are the significant demographic factors that contribute towards the levels of EHIL.

Interactional functions of truncated predicative complement construction “AP + (dek)le” as topic initiator in Shanghai Wu Chinese conversation
Authors: Li Xiaoting , Liu Yaqiong
Published: March 2022

“VP/AP + (dek)le + AP/VP” is a predicative complement construction in Shanghai Wu Chinese (SWC) with(dek)lebeing the complement marker. In everyday SWC conversation, the terminal complement is often dropped, forming the Truncated Predicative Complement Construction (TPCC): “AP + (dek)le”. The data for the present study are approximately 4.5 h of naturalistic SWC face-to-face conversations. Adopting the methodology of conversation analysis and interactional linguistics, we explore the interactional functions of the TPCC in the SWC conversational data. We find that TPCCs after the possible closure of a topic are deployed to initiate a new topic in two ways: initiating a disjunctive topic shift, and changing to a topic that is connected to a prior one. The findings demonstrate that TPCCs are routinized grammatical patterns accomplishing the conversational action of initiating new topics in SWC conversation.
What Are the Necessary Conditions for Wisdom? Examining Intelligence, Creativity, Meaning-Making, and the Big-Five Traits
Authors: Dong Mengxi , Fournier Marc A.
Published: March 2022

We investigated whether intelligence, creativity, meaning-making, and the Big-Five traits are necessary conditions for wisdom. We used Amazon’s TurkPrime to recruit 298 participants who ranged from 20 to 73 years of age. Participants completed measures of intelligence, creativity, meaning-making, and the Big-Five traits, along with a battery of self-report and performance wisdom measures. We used principal component analyses to reduce the wisdom battery into self-report and performance wisdom components, followed by necessary condition analysis and segmented regressions to examine whether the cognitive and personality variables under consideration here were necessary conditions for each wisdom component. We found that intelligence was necessary for the performance wisdom component whereas the Big-Five traits were necessary for the self-report wisdom component. This study is the first to demonstrate that high levels of wisdom are unlikely without some level of intelligence and adaptive personality traits.

Objectives

International guidelines recommend additional salt supplementation during infancy in classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. The influence of corticoid medication and growth has not been assessed.

Aim

To investigate the current use of salt supplementation, fludrocortisone (FC) and hydrocortisone (HC) dosage as well as weight, height, BMI and blood pressure (BP) in CAH children aged 0–3 years.

Methods

Retrospective multicentre analysis using data from the I-CAH registry. Salt-treated (ST) and non-salt-treated (NST) children were compared regarding FC and HC dosage, weight, height and BP at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months.

Results

We analysed 2483 visits of 331 patients born after year 2000 in 13 countries (male, n  = 145) with 203 ST patients (61%). NST children had significantly higher FC dosages at 1.5–4.5 months and higher HC dosages until 1.5 months of age. No differences in weight, length and BP between subgroups were observed. Children of the whole cohort showed increased BMI-SDS during the study period and about half of the reported BP readings were >P95.

Conclusion

In children treated with additional salt supplementation, FC and HC dosages are lower during the first months of life but without differences in weight, length and BP until 3 years of age compared to NST children. All children showed an increase in BMI-SDS and a high rate of BP readings >P95 until 3 years, indicating the start of weight gain and negative effects on blood pressure already in very early life.
Implications of apparent pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics onto cellulosic materials: A review
Authors: Hubbe Martin A. , Azizian Saeid , Douven Sigrid
Published: March 2022

The pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic model has become among the most popular ways to fit rate data for adsorption of metal ions, dyes, and other compounds from aqueous solution onto cellulose-based materials. This review first considers published evidence regarding the validity of the mechanistic assumptions underlying application of the PSO model to adsorption kinetics. A literal interpretation of the model requires an assumption that different adsorption sites on a solid substrate randomly collide with each other during a rate-limiting mechanistic step. Because of problems revealed by the literature regarding the usual assumptions associated with the PSO model, this review also considers how else to account for good fits of adsorption data to the PSO model. Studies have shown that adsorption behavior that fits the PSO model well often can be explained by diffusion-based mechanisms. Hypothetical data generated using the assumption of pseudo-first-order rate behavior has been shown to fit the PSO model very well. In light of published evidence, adsorption kinetics of cellulosic materials is expected to mainly depend on diffusion-limited processes, as affected by heterogeneous distributions of pore sizes and continual partitioning of solute species between a dissolved state and a fixed state of adsorption.
Politics and Terrorism of Immanuel Kant‘s Radical Evil
Authors: Grigonis Gintautas
Published: March 2022

This article analyzes Immanuel Kant’s concept of radical evil within the broader corpus of Kant’s practical works in order to ascertain whether suicidal terrorism can be interpreted using his philosophical framework. Said analysis establishes the dynamic between radical evil and other characteristics of Kantian human nature – unsocial-sociability and propensity towards humanity, whilst focusing on the political implications of said dynamic. When analyzed utilizing the established framework of politics of radical evil, suicidal terrorism reveals the extremities of human behavior as well as potential flaws of Kantian philosophy.

Authors: Sausverde Erika
Published: March 2022

Lars Erik Blomqvist was an outstanding Swedish Slavist and celebrated translator of Russian literature. He was awarded numerous prizes for his work as a translator, honored as the best lecturer at Uppsala University, bestowed the degree of doctor honoris causa by Stockholm University, and was one of the founders of the celebrated seminar at Södertörn University focused on the translation of prose and poetry. He translated the works of Bulgakov, Erenburg, Leonov, Aitmatov, Pristavkin, Pjecuch, Pilnyak, Grossman, Bitov, and many others, including the works of Russian classics — Radischev, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Sologub. One of the highlights of his translations is the anthology of Russian poetry Från Derzjavin till Brodsky (1989), which was a joint project with Hans Björkegren. Lars Erik visited Vilnius University numerous times, where he gave lectures and master classes on the translation of fiction.
Pandects of Antiochus in the Church Slavonic Prologue (Based on the Readings of the First Half-Year)
Authors: Čistiakova Marina
Published: March 2022

The article examines the readings from the Pandects of Antiochus as a source for compiling the didactic section of the Church Slavonic Prologue. The research material consists of circa 100 copies of all the known translations and versions of the Prologue for the autumn-winter half-year. In total, 44 readings have been identified as deriving from the Pandects, and in six cases the same sermon is given in two versions. The largest number of readings (21) is present in the extended edition of the Prologue compiled in the 60s of the 12th century. In this group of texts borrowed from the Pandects, the source text has been thoroughly edited. The shortened edition of the Prologue and the subsequent editions of the Prologue compiled on the basis of the oldest versions partially derive from the readings in the extended edition of the Prologue. The Moscow and the Kyrill-Belozersk editions of the Versed prologue were supplemented by individual new readings from the Pandects. The sermons were more actively transferred to the Prologue versions created and/or prevalent in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, namely, the Kiev-Sophia, the Museum, the Kiev editions and special varieties of the Prologue based  on the extended edition.
Księgi Metamorphoseon by W. Otwinowski as the Source for Russian Translations of Ovid’s Metamorphoses in Early 18th Century: Nomination of Sanctuaries
Authors: Matveenko Ekaterina
Published: March 2022

The article examines the translation of lexemes nominating shrines in Polish Ovid’s Metamorphoses adaptation Księgi Metamorphoseon, to jest, Przemian od Publiusa Owidiusza Nasona Wierszami opisane made by Walerian Otwinowski in 1638. From this Polish verse translation in early 18th century was made both Russian translations of Metamorphoses. Thus the results of present study can be considered also as starting point for further examination of Russian translations. It is determined that in Otwinowski’s version lexeme kościół was chosen as a unified neutral equivalent for some different Latin nominations of pagan sanctuaries. Comparison with another Polish translation of Metamorphoses, Jakob Żebrowski’s Metamorphoseon, to jest Przeobrażenia ksiąg piętnaście (1636), shows that Otwinowski’s decision to translate different Latin lexical equivalents by unified lexical item is a distinctive feature of his translation. For further study in translation techniques in both Russian translations it is important that the Polish origin (Otwinowski’s translation) itself doesn’t represent a field for a variety of translation correspondences within considered lexemes.
The Author's Handwritten Miscellany of the End of 19th Century of the Old Believer Monk Cyprian (Sozonov)
Authors: Melnikov Ilya
Published: March 2022

The publication contains information about the Old Believer scribe of Phedoseevtzy congregation of the second half of 19th century monk Cyprian and a description of the author's miscellany compiled by him. The content of the manuscript, entitled "Katolog" by the monk, is interesting both in terms of the volume of sources involved and in terms of topics. The collection reflects the doctrinal position of Cyprian, which manifested itself in the activities of the sketes at the Moscow outpost in St. Petersburg and on Ilyushkin Island, which were headed by a monk.
