Published: January 2023

Background

Given the rapid advances in communication technology and the need that emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth initiatives have been widely used worldwide. This masterclass aims to provide an overview of telerehabilitation for musculoskeletal conditions, synthesizing the different terminologies used to describe telehealth and telerehabilitation, its effectiveness and how to use it in clinical practice, barriers and facilitators for the implementation in health services, and discuss the need of a curriculum education for the near future.

Main body

Telerehabilitation refers to the use of information and communication technologies provided by any healthcare professionals for rehabilitation services. Telerehabilitation is a safe and effective option in the management of musculoskeletal conditions in different models of delivery. There are many technologies, with different costs and benefits, synchronous and asynchronous, that can be used for telerehabilitation: telephone, email, mobile health, messaging, web-based systems and videoconferences applications. To ensure a better practice of telerehabilitation, the clinician should certify safety and access, and appropriateness of environment, communication, technology, assessment, and therapeutic prescription. Despite the positive effect of telerehabilitation in musculoskeletal disorders, a suboptimal telerehabilitation implementation may have happened due to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in countries where telehealth was not a reality, and clinicians lacked training and guidance. This emphasizes the need to identify the necessary curriculum content to guide future clinicians in their skills and knowledge for telerehabilitation. There are some challenges and barriers that must be carefully accounted for to contribute to a health service that is inclusive and relevant to health professionals and end users.

Conclusions

Telerehabilitation can promote patient engagement in health care and plays an important role in improving health outcomes in patients with musculoskeletal conditions. Digital health technologies can also offer new opportunities to educate patients and facilitate the process of behavior change to a healthy lifestyle. Currently, the main needs in telerehabilitation are the inclusion of it in health curriculums in higher education and the development of cost-effectiveness and implementation trials, especially in low- and middle-income countries where access, investments and digital health literacy are limited.
Practical autoencoder based anomaly detection by using vector reconstruction error
Authors: Torabi Hasan , Mirtaheri Seyedeh Leili , Greco Sergio
Published: January 2023

Nowadays, cloud computing provides easy access to a set of variable and configurable computing resources based on user demand through the network. Cloud computing services are available through common internet protocols and network standards. In addition to the unique benefits of cloud computing, insecure communication and attacks on cloud networks cannot be ignored. There are several techniques for dealing with network attacks. To this end, network anomaly detection systems are widely used as an effective countermeasure against network anomalies. The anomaly-based approach generally learns normal traffic patterns in various ways and identifies patterns of anomalies. Network anomaly detection systems have gained much attention in intelligently monitoring network traffic using machine learning methods. This paper presents an efficient model based on autoencoders for anomaly detection in cloud computing networks. The autoencoder learns a basic representation of the normal data and its reconstruction with minimum error. Therefore, the reconstruction error is used as an anomaly or classification metric. In addition, to detecting anomaly data from normal data, the classification of anomaly types has also been investigated. We have proposed a new approach by examining an autoencoder’s anomaly detection method based on data reconstruction error. Unlike the existing autoencoder-based anomaly detection techniques that consider the reconstruction error of all input features as a single value, we assume that the reconstruction error is a vector. This enables our model to use the reconstruction error of every input feature as an anomaly or classification metric. We further propose a multi-class classification structure to classify the anomalies. We use the CIDDS-001 dataset as a commonly accepted dataset in the literature. Our evaluations show that the performance of the proposed method has improved considerably compared to the existing ones in terms of accuracy, recall, false-positive rate, and F1-score metrics.

Published: January 2023

Background

Solitary sphenoid sinus pathology is uncommon. The deep position of the sphenoid sinus makes symptoms related to solitary sphenoid sinus pathology non-specific and contributes to a significant diagnosis delay. Moreover, surrounding anatomical elements cause its pathology to be potentially serious and make surgical management challenging.

Methods

This retrospective study includes 7 cases presented with primary benign sphenoid sinus pathology managed between January 2019 and January 2022. Epidemiological features, clinical aspects, and treatment modalities are presented.

Results

Six female patients and one male patient were operated; their age ranges from 11 to 67 years old. Etiologies are divided into infection, tumors, and pseudo tumors. Sphenoid sinus approach was performed through the sphenoethmoid recess in 5 cases, through the septum in one patient and through the ethmoid in one patient.

Conclusion

Endoscopic procedures have significantly improved the management of the sphenoid sinus pathology. They offer good access and control of the sphenoid pathology but require a perfect mastery of radiologic and endoscopic anatomy and its variations.
Infection of a Retained Peripheral Nerve Stimulation Lead: A Case Report
Authors: Finneran John J. , Leek Bryan T. , Ilfeld Brian M. , Abdullah Baharin , Said Engy T.
Published: January 2023

Percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation is used to provide analgesia for weeks or even months. While infection of any percutaneously implanted object is a concern, it is exceedingly rare for helically coiled leads, with a reported incidence of less than 1 infection for every 32,000 indwelling days. We now report an infected helically coiled lead requiring sedation for extraction and complicated by lead fracture during removal, leaving a remnant in situ. The infection was successfully treated with oral antibiotics. We speculate on the cause of this infection and propose steps to prevent this complication, including the avoidance of sling-to-lead insertion site overlap.
Case Report: Anesthesia for a Neonate With Cutis Aplasia
Authors: Quak Su Min , Chong Shin Yuet
Published: January 2023

Cutis aplasia is a rare condition characterized by skin and subcutaneous tissue defects. Researchers have previously described both conservative and surgical management methods. We report herein the case of a neonate with extensive cutis aplasia involving 37% of the total body surface area. Due to the risk of meningitis and catastrophic hemorrhage associated with scalp defects, she underwent staged surgical procedures with skin harvesting and synthetic skin application, followed by the application of cultured epithelial autografts. This report highlights the challenges in temperature and fluid management as well as intraoperative positioning in a neonate with cutis aplasia.

Published: January 2023

The management of postsurgical thrombosis in a medically complicated patient is often not straightforward. We describe a case of a congenital heart disease patient with multiple risk factors for thrombosis with a compromised limb immediately after heart transplant who received serial daily peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) resulting in limb salvage. The analgesic effects of the blocks allowed for clinical progression and participation in rehabilitation therapy, and the vasodilatory effects of the blocks helped prevent a below the knee amputation (BKA) in this devitalized and congested extremity.

Published: January 2023

A 13-year-old girl with a voltage-gated sodium channel mutation (SCN8A)-associated intractable epilepsy presented for bilateral mastectomy for painful juvenile fibroadenomatosis. Sodium channel mutations are more frequently diagnosed with continued advances in genetic testing. Understanding the effects of sodium channel mutations is important to provide safe anesthetic care to these patients. In this article, we discuss what is known regarding the physiology of SCN8A channels and the anesthetic considerations when caring for patients with an SCN8A mutation.
Thenar Compartment Syndrome Related to Tightened Radial Arterial Line During Robotic Laparoscopic Surgery: A Case Report
Authors: Moon Sung Ho , Oh Daeseok , Ko Myoung Jin , Kwon Ji Yeon , Choi Young Gyun , Kim Sun Young , Lim Sehun
Published: January 2023

We present a 54-year-old man who developed an unexpected thenar space compartment syndrome after robotic laparoscopic surgery, which was caused when the radial arterial pressure tubing was pulled too tightly around the base of the thumb while changing the surgical position. A conventional method of securing the tubing by looping it around the thumb appeared to be the primary cause. This complication went unnoticed during the surgery because the arm was tucked out of sight; there were no remarkable findings on monitoring. This case highlights the risks of looping tubing around the thumb, especially if continual inspection is not possible.
Mucosal microbiome is predictive of pediatric Crohn’s disease across geographic regions in North America
Authors: Shah Rajesh , Hoffman Kristi , Denson Lee , Kugathasan Subramaniam , Kellermayer Richard
Published: January 2023

Background: Patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) have an altered intestinal microbiome, which may facilitate novel diagnostic testing. However, accuracy of microbiome classification models across geographic regions may be limited. Therefore, we sought to examine geographic variation in the microbiome of patients with CD from North America and test the performance of a machine learning classification model across geographic regions.

Methods: The RISK cohort included 447 pediatric patients with CD and 221 non-inflammatory bowel disease controls from across North America. Terminal ileum, rectal and fecal samples were obtained prior to treatment for microbiome analysis. We divided study sites into 3 geographic regions to examine regional microbiome differences. We trained and tested the performance of a machine learning classification model across these regions.

Results: No differences were seen in the mucosal microbiome of patients with CD across regions or in either the fecal or mucosal microbiomes of controls. Machine learning classification algorithms for patients with CD performed well across regions (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUROC] range of 0.85-0.91) with the best results from terminal ileum.

Conclusions: This study demonstrated the feasibility of microbiome based diagnostic testing in pediatric patients with CD within North America, independently from regional influences.
Judicial breakfast as an external factor in judicial decision making in courts
Authors: Tampubolon Manotar , Situmeang Tomson , Saragih Paltiada
Published: January 2023

The objective of this article is to establish whether the judges depend on relevant facts, judicial rules, and the law when making their judgments or they use extraneous factors such as what a judge eats, personal ideology, beliefs, or the cultural and political environment. The discourse between the two sides is incomplete without exploring the grand theories: formalism and realism. The antimony between the two theories resulted in theoretical analysis and empirical research. The realism challenged the existing logical reasoning and legal rules that judges use in making their judgment as they contend that judges applying rules and law in their decision-making process are irrational and mechanical. Formalism insists on using the judicial rules and the law in making decisions as opposed to extraneous factors, which realists contend should be the basis for decision making with laws and rules only to support the findings. The continental legal theory holds that legal realism is a hard-nosed, down-to-earth, and practical school of thought that is opposed to mechanical and scientific theories. The scholarly analysis of the judicial decision-making process brings into focus the conduct of judicial officers and whether they base their reasoning on extrajudicial issues. However, the discussion should avoid denigrating into an attack on the personality of judges as it undermines the rule of law.

Published: January 2023

Foreign bodies (FB) in the aerodigestive tract are common, especially in children. The type of foreign body in the esophagus can vary and include magnets. A magnet that lodges in the esophagus should be extracted within 24 hours to prevent complications due to associated chemical reactions. In rural areas, there are several limitations to extracting FBs from the esophagus. We report a case of a magnetic FB that lodged in the esophagus of a three-year-old boy. The extraction was successfully done by esophagoscopy with the modification of a hook that was attached to the endoscope. This innovation may help otolaryngologists all over the world, especially in rural areas. In the future, this innovation could be produced on an industrial scale.
COMPUTER MODELING OF ECONOMIC PROCESSES USING FRACTAL ANALYSIS METHODS
Authors: Melnikova Julia V. , Lazhauninkas Julia V.
Published: January 2023

The development of modern information and analytical technologies opens up new opportunities for economic analysis and forecasting of market situations. Many technologies of modern financial analysis are based on the efficient market hypothesis, according to which price changes in the securities market in logarithmic coordinates represent a random (Gauss) process. However, studies of the last 30 years show that this is not the case and the usual statistical model is not suitable for analyzing most economic indicators. The effective roar hypothesis is replaced by the fractal theory and the fractal market hypothesis based on the concept of self-similarity in different time scales. The article is devoted to the mathematical and statistical analysis of the dynamics of economic indicators based on the theory of fractals. The results of the fractal analysis of the time series of the dynamics of the EUR/RUB exchange rate for the period 2013-2022 by the method of the normalized Hearst swing are presented. The result of the study was the identification of the fractal properties of the specified time series, the proof of its nonlinearity and the presence of the effect of long-term memory in the dynamics. The results obtained prove the necessity of using specialized fractal methods for further research and forecasting the dynamics of time series with a self-similar statistical structure.

Purpose of the work is to analyze economic processes based on the tools of fractal mathematics.

The method or methodology of work: in the course of the research, general methodological principles of scientific cognition were used: comparative, analytical, abstract-logical analyses, economic-mathematical, economic-statistical models and modeling using modern software. The calculations were carried out using the application programs Microsoft Excel, Statistica, R, Matrixer.

Results: we have identified fractal properties of the financial time series, justified the need to use new methods of forecasting economic indicators.

Scope of the results: it is advisable to apply the obtained results to economists, traders and business analysts studying the dynamics of economic and financial indicators.
Meta o la vida en los píxeles.
Authors: Serrano-Sanz Adrián
Published: January 2023

En octubre de 2021 Meta anunció que planeaba crear un metaverso con el objetivo de desplazar la vida hacia los espacios digitales. En este trabajo se presentan las bases sociológicas y tecnológicas que subyacen a su proyecto. La propuesta de la corporación puede entenderse como consecuencia de, al menos, dos cuestiones. En primer lugar, del proceso de personalización del consumo desde las formas cuantitativas de consumo en los siglos XIX y XX hasta el consumo cualitativo y emocional del siglo XXI. En segundo lugar, del progreso tecnológico, que habría dado lugar a una nueva condición humana, la antrobológica. Estos dos factores habrían configurado el contexto sociológico y tecnológico desde el cual, y hacia el cual, la corporación habría lanzado su nueva propuesta comercial.

Published: January 2023

El artículo analiza la regulación aplicable al desplazamiento trasnacional de trabajadores, en materia de Seguridad Social. Se estudia los desplazamientos tanto de trabajadores por cuenta ajena como por cuenta propia, así como los riesgos de una utilización de desplazamientos mediante duraciones temporales excesivas o formas encadenadas que disfrazan supuestos migratorios con graves riesgos de dumping social mediante ETT, contratas y subcontratas. Por último, se aborda someramente la acción protectora, distinguiendo entre las prestaciones que pueden satisfacerse en el Estado de origen y las vinculadas al de destino.
La lucha canaria femenina en Canarias durante la Transición Democrática (1972-1984).
Authors: Alonso Delgado Victor Lorenzo
Published: January 2023

La lucha canaria (en adelante, lucha) es un deporte tradicional desarrollado y practicado en las Islas Canarias y las zonas de influencia de la diáspora canaria (especialmente Cuba, Argentina, Venezuela y la antigua colonia española del Sahara Occidental). Como deporte de lucha o combate, la masculinidad es representada y visibilizada mediante múltiples elementos, tal y como han señalado algunos autores que han abordado el binomio “deportes de lucha-masculinidad”. También coincidiendo con otros deportes de lucha, desde la década de 1970 se constató la presencia activa de mujeres practicantes y gestoras. Se trataba de una presencia asimétrica, tanto en los distintos países como en las distintas modalidades de práctica. Que testimoniaba tanto las transformaciones experimentadas en el seno del deporte, como la pujanza del papel y la presencia de las mujeres durante el periodo. La lucha también tomó parte en este proceso, mediante la presencia activa e intensa de mujeres de manera reconocida y pública, en el periodo 1972-1984. Este trabajo intenta mostrar y explicar el desenvolvimiento del proceso.
El periodismo cinematográfico de Irene Polo (1927-1930). Acotaciones a un trabajo inédito.
Authors: Salgado-de Dios Francesc
Published: January 2023

Irene Polo trabajó en algún momento de su juventud como representante en la prensa de la productora cinematográfica francesa Gaumont. Este artículo se propone localizar el trabajo que desarrolló como propagandista de dicha empresa. Tras rastrear la prensa especializada en cine de Barcelona entre 1927 y 1930, se han localizado ocho artículos inéditos firmados (1927), uno atribuido (1927), dos alusiones directas a su nombre (1927 y 1929) y dos fotografías en las que Polo aparece presentada en 1927 y en 1928 como una periodista en activo. Esta actividad es anterior al momento en que se situaba hasta ahora su debut: mayo de 1930 en la revista Imatges de Barcelona. No comienza como periodista a los 21 años, como se pensaba, sino con 18. Tampoco escribió casi siempre en catalán, sino que también lo hizo en castellano. Polo trabajó durante el periodo de estudio en el periódico El Día Gráfico (1927) y en las revistas El Cine (1927-1928) e Información Cinematográfica (1929) durante períodos todavía no delimitados. En este sector llevó a cabo su inserción y aprendizaje. Pese a su juventud, firmó algunos trabajos muy significativos. Se resitúa así la biografía profesional de una de las periodistas más innovadoras de la Segunda República.

Na produção de textos, orais ou escritos, fazemos uso de atividades complexas. No ensino-aprendizagem de língua adicional em contexto universitário, os alunos devem conhecer e dominar a língua nos seus diferentes registros, em particular, na norma padrão da língua que se aprende. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar como se dão a referenciação e a retextualização, processos textuais-discursivos essenciais na construção do texto e dos sentidos, em produções textuais de alunos poloneses. O estudo é de base qualitativa teórico-analítica, partindo dos estudos em linguística textual de base interativa e sociocognitiva. Ancora-se, assim, nos estudos da referenciação, com os seguintes autores: Mondada e Dubois (2003); Cavalcante et al. (2014); Koch (2021); e outros, que advogam por uma perspectiva construtivista da referência. No que tange à retextualização, o estudo se estrutura a partir dos contributos de Marcuschi (2010) e outros.
Rival Signals and Project Selection: Insights from the Drug Development Process
Authors: Markou Panos , Kavadias Stylianos , Oraiopoulos Nektarios
Published: January 2023

Project selection decisions are complex because they must balance not only financial returns, project risk, and fit with strategy, but also competitive circumstances. A rival’s project development efforts provide two pieces of information: a market rivalry signal, indicating potentially heightened competition in a market, and a technological signal, indicating a possible solution to a problem in that market. We hypothesize that these signals affect a firm’s likelihood of project selection in opposite directions, and that the timing of the signals matters for selection. We examine the drug development pipelines of the top 15 pharmaceutical companies from 1999 to 2016 to examine how rival projects drive the decision to progress a drug from preclinical laboratory trials to clinical trials in humans. Early-stage rival projects provide a stronger market rivalry signal, and they are associated with a decreased likelihood of the firm selecting its own project to compete in the same market. Late-stage rival projects signal technological feasibility and are associated with an increase in the likelihood of selection. We then exploit heterogeneity in market potential (i.e., disorder prevalence/incidence) and a molecular compound’s technology (i.e., therapeutic modality) to independently manipulate the salience of the two signals. Finally, we provide evidence on how selection based on rival signals informs project success. Information from rival projects prompts the selection of more successful drugs, but only after a threshold when sufficient uncertainty has been resolved.

Authors:   Institute for the Ukrainian Language of the NAS of Ukraine, Yusikova Olena
Published: January 2023

The article outlines the functioning of the semantic field of the berdo lexeme in the dialects of hutsul Rakhiv region. The considered semantic field is lexical in its structure, we analyze its nature and evolution. As the main methods of research, methods of analysis and synthesis are applied. In the study, we used a functional method to clarify role of the sem in shaping the structure of the field. The centers of word fields and, accordingly, the very series of related words are thematically labeled. The structure of the semantic field of the berdo in the dialects of Rakhiv region was formed over the centuries, today it unites two dominant fields: «names of weaving tools», «names of mountain relief». The periphery of the semantic field covers the lexical-semantic group of names of tools and weapons, including nomen with a smilna sam 'tip'. The field under study demonstrates a close relationship of etymological factors in the formation of semantics of dominant lexemes.

The article updates on anthropocentrism in modern linguistics, according to which the understanding of language occurs inseparably from a person and inseparably from a person to language, that encourages understanding of language facts in sociolinguistic, mental, ethnocultural spheres. It was found that the concept, being a multidimensional concept, includes emotional and rational, concrete and abstract, universal and ethnic, national and individually personal components. The article analyzes the concept of COMMUNITY, features of its verbalization, its ability to light the basic spiritual values. The specificity of the mentality of the local speakers of the Central Slobozhanshchyna is determined. Dialectological materials testify that the community is a certain stable social community that is united by common spiritual, economic views and organization life, as well as with the same worldview and traditions. Verbalization of the concept COMMUNITY can be traced in the relationship with the concept of joint work of people, common rest, celebration of joyful events. It is emphasized that the rural community differs from the urban one by such factors as unity of villagers, their friendship, desire to help each other and to perform some activities. It was found that the concept of COMMUNITY, especially rural, is narrow resonates with the concept of FAMILY, because many representatives associate their village or a separate street with a large family. With this in mind, common characteristics have been singled out worldview of a certain community, which doesn`t differ from person to person, but from one settlement to another. It was found that for the effective functioning of the community, it must be self-organized, must have a leader, common interests, share the same values and traditions. It is emphasized that the best option is when these values are traditional, stable, which passed down from generation to generation. Also, the concept of COMMUNITY is better verbalized, when the representative of the authorities in this community is a native citizen, and not a person who has arrived, because then the unity and commonality, the durability of traditions are not broken. The conducted research does not exhaust all aspects of this multifaceted problem, we consider its promising to conduct a comparative analysis of dynamic changes verbalization of the COMMUNITY concept after the fullscale invasion of Russian federation.
Language game in internet post-folkloric texts of the russian-ukrainian war period
Authors:   Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University, Kravchenko Olena , Fiedotova Nataliia ,   National University of Food Technologies
Published: January 2023

The article examines language game techniques in the post-folklore of Internet environment at the grammatical, phonetic, word-forming, and lexical levels, determines the specifics of their creation, and reveals their functional features. The source base became post-folkloric texts, created and distributed with the help of various forms of electronic communication since the beginning of the full-scale aggression of the russian federation against Ukraine. It is proved that the study of mechanisms of the language game in Internet post-folklore allowed to reveal the value attitudes and ideals of Ukrainians, broadcasted through modern communicative practices. It is noted that among language game techniques at this level, Internet users prefer polycodification and transliteration. This is explained by objectification of the «enemy» concept, deepening of binary opposition «own – foreign». The mechanical transmission of the text and individual words of the russian language into Ukrainian letters is used with identifying, expressive, meaningful and expressive functions. At the phonetic level, authors of postfolklore resort to paronomasia, which mainly creates a comic effect of message. The word-forming level is represented by occasionalisms designed to emphasize the negative image of russian military. The most productive level is lexical level, the methods of which are based on semantic associations. Linguistic creativity of the authors is manifested by the inclusion of a sign in a new associative context through the use of semantic flickering, the simultaneous actualization of the literal and figurative meanings of a word, the transition from literal to figurative in one verbal component, playing with homonyms, etc. The mechanisms of the language game reflect the peculiarities of worldview of the participants of Internet communication, their attitude to realities of war were analyzed.
Problems of axiology of modern court discourse
Authors:   Dnipropetrovsk State University of Internal Affair, Tsarеva Iryna
Published: January 2023

The article examines the peculiarities of modern court discourse. The most general concept for communication processes in the legal sphere is the concept of legal discourse. It was determined that court discourse is a verbal and symbolic expression of the process of communication during the court process, which is considered in a socio-historical, national-cultural, specific situational context, taking into account the characteristics and intentions of the communicators. It is emphasized that the main text of the document from a formal point of view is divided into three structural elements: introduction, main part, conclusion. The analysis of court decisions most often confirms the following information: violations of laws, offenses, crimes, statements that qualify the character and personal qualities of the plaintiff from a negative point of view. The issue of the structure of court decisions is revealed. The discursive approach to the analysis of the texts of court decisions allowed us to consider, first of all, situations of language-legal conflict in terms of all extralingual factors. In order to prevent or eliminate terminological and stylistic errors, to develop language recommendations for the correct use of legal terms.
Identifying the Latent Profiles of Language Ability in 5- to 7-Year-Old Children
Authors: Lee Hyun Jung , Kim Young Tae
Published: January 2023

Objectives: Classifying children into two language ability groups, with and without language impairment, may underestimate the number of groups with distinct language ability patterns. In this study, we tried to classify the children based on their language performance. The purpose of this study was to identify the number and characteristics of latent language ability groups in Korean children. Methods: An unclassified sample of 147 Korean children aged 5 to 7 years participated in the study. Oral language skills in phonological (phonological awareness task), semantical (receptive vocabulary test), and syntactical (sentence repetition task) areas; language processing skills in processing capacity (non-word repetition task); and processing speed (rapid automatized naming task) were assessed. Latent profile analysis was conducted on the language measures. Results: Results indicated that a four-group model best represented the data, characterized by high performance in one group (15.7%), average skills in another group (65.8%), low processing speed in a third group (12.3%), and low grammaticality in a fourth group (6.2%). Conclusion: The latent profiles of language ability in Korean children seemed to be largely divided according to their level of language performance. However, in the group of children with low performance, the existence of different profiles was identified. This suggests that children with low performance may have difficulties learning language for two reasons: difficulties with either grammar or processing speed. Thus, assessing language abilities without testing both areas could potentially lead to misdiagnosis.
Verb Recognition Abilities in Young and Older Adults as a Function of Linguistic Presentation Units
Authors: Park Jimin , Baik Kyungrang , Lee Youngmee , Kim Young Tae , Sung Jee Eun
Published: January 2023

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine differences in verb recognition performance according to linguistic presentation units and question types between young and older adults. This study also examined the relationship between verb recognition performance and neuropsychological tests. Methods: A total of 39 participants (21 young adults and 18 old adults) participated in this study. All were administered verb recognition tasks in word and sentence conditions, and three types of recognition questions (presented verb, unpresented-related verb, unpresented-unrelated verb) were implemented. Results: First, the older adults showed significantly lower verb recognition performance than the young adults. Second, there was a significant interaction effect in linguistic presentation units and groups. Post-hoc analysis revealed that young adults’ recognition accuracy was higher in sentence condition compared to word condition, whereas old adults’ accuracy was higher in word condition than the sentence condition. Third, there was a significant main effect of question types. Fourth, in terms of accuracy of recognition questions, unpresented-unrelated verbs showed different tendency results compared to presented and unpresented-related verbs. Lastly, verb recognition performance was significantly correlated with neuropsychological tests. Conclusion: Results showed older adults’ decreased recognition performance due to cognitive decline and revealed the different patterns in recognition abilities according to linguistic presentation units and question types. These results suggest that cognitive load affected verb recognition in both conditions and that the verb recognition task could be implemented to examine older adults’ cognitive abilities.
Aging Effects on Perceptual Reading Span: Evidence from an Eye-Tracking Study
Authors: Shin Hyun Ji , Sung Jee Eun , Cho Yun Jae
Published: January 2023

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate how aging influences the perceptual span and reading through online reading measurement variables using an eye-tracking paradigm. Methods: This study had a total of 38 participants including 20 normal younger and 18 older adults. Offline (reading comprehension accuracy) and online (words per second, mean fixation duration) measurement variables were analyzed through sentence comprehension questions and perceptual span measurement tasks. Results: 1) There were not significant differences between the older adults and younger adults in reading comprehension accuracy. There was no cognitive demand due to the low difficulty of the task, and it did not affect the reading comprehension accuracy of each group. 2) There were significant differences between the older adults and younger adults in both words per second and mean fixation duration. The older group showed a decrease in encoding ability due to the normal aging process. Additionally, the performance of words per second and mean fixation duration was significantly lower under the one fixated word condition (1W) in both groups. 3) In the case of mean fixation duration, the older group fixed their gaze longer than the younger. The older group showed greater difficulty under the 1W condition when the cognitive load was increased by presenting limited language information. Conclusion: This study was intended to examine the perceptual span of older adults and the level which shows the aging-effect concretely. It was possible to predict that the perceptual span of the younger group was between one or two words to the right of the fixated word (W+1 and W+2), and that of the elderly was W+1.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the responsiveness of the absolute error of estimated speaking fundamental frequency (AEF0) after intervention of voice disorders. The correlation between the changes in AEF0 measures and multidimensional voice measurements were explored. Usefulness of the changes in the AEF0 (ΔAEF0) measures for predicting vocal improvement was also explored. Methods: 30 male and 30 female patients with benign vocal fold lesions participated in the study. Participants were asked to perform voice and speech range profile and passage-reading tasks to yield the AEF0. Pre- vs. post-operative AEF0 in voice and speech range profile tasks were compared. The correlation between the ΔAEF0 and changes in the voice parameters was explored. The cutoff score of the ΔAEF0 for the improved group was calculated. Results: For both male and female patients, voice and speech range profile measures did not show significant change after surgery. On the other hand, AEF0 measured by voice and speech range profiles decreased regardless of gender. ΔAEF0 after surgery showed weak to moderate correlation with the changes in the multidimensional voice measurements. The area under the curve of the ΔAEF0VRP, ΔAEF0SRP, ΔAEF0SUM for screening vocal improvement were .693, .669, and .753; and the cutoff scores were ≤ 4.035, ≤ -2.403, ≤ 0.389, respectively. Conclusion: The results revealed that AEF0 measures could function as an indicator of post-treatment vocal improvement reflecting vocal ranges.
Characteristics of Semantic Processing in Children with Reading Difficulties through Grammaticality Judgment Task

Published: January 2023

Objectives: Previous studies have reported that children with poor reading show deficiencies in their ability to suppress unnecessary information during reading; however, most studies have used homonym tasks to prove this. Accordingly, we tried to look into the semantic processing characteristics of children with poor reading in sentence-level processing to expand the results of precedent studies away from the homonym task paradigm. Methods: 11 children with poor reading and 12 typical children in 3-6 grade participated. They conducted the grammaticality judgment task to judge whether there were any grammatical errors in the presented sentences. At that time, we recorded reaction accuracy and reaction time. The grammaticality judgment task was divided into the semantic-related condition and the semantic-unrelated condition according to the meaning connection intensity of two words in the sentences. Results: In response accuracy, both children with poor reading and typical children performed lower in the semantic-unrelated condition than in the semantic-related condition, but there were no significant differences in the performance of the two groups. In response time, children with poor reading overall took longer to judge grammaticality than typical children, and notably spent more time reacting in the semantic-unrelated condition than the semantic-related condition. Conclusion: Children with poor reading have difficulties suppressing unnecessarily active information compared to typical children. This tendency to allocate cognitive resources to unnecessary information when they read could ultimately be one of the factors that cause them to fail to comprehend reading.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the phonological processing skills between children with phonological delay and phonological disorder compared to those of typically developing children. This study aimed to explore whether children with phonological delay and phonological disorder show general or specific weakness on phonological processing skills and if the phonological processing skills can differentiate children with phonological delay from children with phonological disorder. Methods: The participants were 27 children with speech sound disorders (SSDs) and 20 typically developing children. Children with SSDs consisted of 10 children with phonological delay and 17 children with phonological disorder. The tasks for phonological processing skills involved phonological awareness at the levels of word, syllable, body-coda, and phoneme; phonological memory tests including nonword repetition and sentence repetition; and phonological retrieval through rapid automatized number naming test. Results: Children with phonological disorder showed significantly lower phonological awareness at word level than typically developing children and they also exhibited significantly lower nonword repetition than children with phonological delay as well as typically developing children. Both children with phonological delay and disorder performed less well on rapid automatized naming than typically developing children. Conclusion: This study suggests that children with phonological disorder are at higher risk for deficits in phonological processing, and their weakness in nonword repetition which taps phonological memory is more prominent than in children with normal speech or phonological delay.
Characteristics of Working Memory and Mental Verbs in Preschool Children

Objectives: The purpose of study was to examine preschool children’s attribute to understand mental verbs (emotion, cognitive) depending on their working memory ability. Methods: The participants were 45 children who were 5 years old. They were classified into groups: higher, intermediate and lower group, based on the results of a working memory task which included non-word repetition and judging whether a sentence was said with correct grammar. We analyzed their understanding of mental verbs and gave them mental verb comprehension task. Results: First, there was a statistically significant difference among the three groups in understanding mental verbs. Second, in examining the difference in comprehension between the two different types of mental verbs among the three groups, both emotional verbs and cognitive verbs showed higher understanding in the order of higher group working memory, intermediate group, and lower group respectively. Lastly, in analyzing the difference in comprehension of the two different types of mental verbs within the three groups; in the higher group, children performed better on cognitive verbs performed compared to emotion verbs; there was no difference in the intermediate group; and in the lower group, children performed better on the emotion verbs compared to the cognitive verbs. Conclusion: This study could be an indication of a shortage of capacity in comprehension or in processing those words due to poor working memory compared to the other groups that performed relatively better. Therefore, this suggests that there is a need to understand the importance of considering children’s working memory and improving it as we provide intervention for them, rather than solely focusing on vocabulary comprehension or expanding expression.
The Effects of Speech Sound Disorder on Vocabulary Development

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the role of speech sound disorders in the development of children’s vocabulary through longitudinal analysis. Methods: Three hundred and twenty-four 6-year-old children were assessed in severity groups with speech sound disorders (SSD: general level, a slight error, the recommendation for in-depth examination, and suspected speech sound disorder). This study examined whether the model of change in vocabulary (receptive, expressive) original score according to age (3, 5, and 7 years old) of four SSD groups was suitable for the Latent Growth Model. In addition, cross-analysis was used to examine whether there was a significant difference in the classification of receptive and expressive vocabulary development normality (abnormal, normal development, slight delay, and vocabulary development delay) according to age changes in the four groups. Results: Results found that the severity of SSD did not affect vocabulary development continuity, but had a significant effect on the classification of vocabulary development normality standards. The severity of SSD had a significant effect on the development delay of the 7-year-old receptive vocabulary and the development delay of the 3-year-old expressive vocabulary. Conclusion: It would be desirable to check the vocabulary development of children with SSD according to age, understanding that subjects with suspected SSD can show significant differences in expressive vocabulary at the age of 3 and receptive vocabulary development at the age of 7.
