Dissociation between phonological working memory structures and motor programming units during speech motor-sequence learning
Authors: Masapollo Matthew , Smith Dante J. , Guenther Frank
Published: October 2019

Purpose: This study investigated the nature of phonological working memory (PWM) structures and speech motor programming units by examining how performance gains from practicing non-native phoneme sequences generalize to novel sequences that overlap to varying degrees with the practiced sequences.Method: CCVCC words were constructed using consonant clusters that violated English phonological constraints, thus making them difficult to produce initially. After practicing a subset of the words over two consecutive days, participants were tested on the production of several types of word pairs, including novel words containing unpracticed clusters, practiced cluster words containing consonant clusters that were practiced but in different words from the test words, and fully learned words that were practiced in their entirety.Results: Utterance duration improvements from practicing clusters in one syllabic context fully transferred to novel words that included these clusters, while error rate improvements from practicing clusters in one syllabic context only partially generalized to new syllables utilizing these practiced clusters. Additionally, error rates for the first word in the pair (which depend primarily on motor program structure) showed partial improvements for learned clusters regardless of whether the cluster was practiced in the same part of the syllabic frame (onset or coda), whereas error rates for the second word (which reflect both PWM and motor programming mechanisms) were higher than even novel words if the cluster was practiced in the wrong syllable frame location, presumably due to interference effects in PWM. Conclusions: These results provide support for an onset-nucleus-coda syllabic frame structure in PWM and a syllable-frame-independent representation of common phoneme sub-sequences for motor programs.
What Motivates Innovative Entrepreneurs? Evidence from a Global Field Experiment
Authors: Guzman Jorge , Oh Jean Joohyun , Sen Ananya
Published: October 2019

Entrepreneurial motivation is important to the process of economic growth. However, evidence on the motivations of innovative entrepreneurs, and how those motivations differ across fundamental characteristics, remains scant. We conduct three interrelated field experiments with the MIT Inclusive Innovation Challenge to study how innovative entrepreneurs respond to messages of money and social impact, and how this varies across gender and culture. We find consistent evidence that women and individuals located in more altruistic cultures are more motivated by social impact messages than money, while men and those in less altruistic cultures are more motivated by money than social impact. The estimates are not driven by differences in the type of company, its size, or other observable characteristics, but instead appear to come from differences in the underlying motivations of innovative entrepreneurs themselves.

Nitriding of Rolling Contact Races
Authors: Beer O.
Published: October 2019

In the contact zone of overrolled races high stresses are acting. In order to get a sufficient rolling contact fatigue life, a high hardness in the depth of high material stresses is necessary. One possibility to achieve high hardness in a surface near zone in case of steels is nitriding. By one example of an application to polymer processing and another example of an application to aero engines is demonstrated, how races for overrolling can be realized by nitriding. By these examples the effect of tempering and nitriding parameters on the properties of the nitrided zone as hardness, residual stress and formation of the compound layer is demonstrated. Rig tests show, that overrolling properties of nitrided and case hardened layers can be similar.

The aim of the analysis was to provide comprehensive data on invasive therapies of cardiac arrhythmias in Ukraine in 2018. Association of Arrhythmologists of Ukraine has been collecting data on invasive cardiac arrhythmia therapies since 2010. In 2019, data for the survey were provided by 39 centers from all regions of Ukraine, with the exception of the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, as well as a part of armed conflict zone in the east of Ukraine. In this analysis, we present updated data based on demographics and population statistics. In 2018 a total of 9597 procedures were performed, which is 824 (9.4 %) more compared to 2017, and has been the largest number since 2010. In total, 6265 pacemakers were implanted, which is 472 (8.1 %) more than in 2017. 54.8 % of them were dual chamber devices. The number of replacements for pacemakers decreased to 782, which is 143 (15.5 %) fewer than in 2017. In 2018, 98 CPT devices were implanted, which was 20 (24 %) more compared to 2017. Simultaneously, the number of CPT-D implantations grew by 24 (92.3 %) and equaled to 50. The number of defibrillator cardioverter implants increased to 166, which is 95 (133.8 %) more than in 2017. In 2018 a total of 2914 radiofrequency ablations were performed, which is 190 (7.0 %) more than in 2017. A total of 861 ablations of atrial fibrillation were performed, which is 127 (17.3 %) more compared with 2017. At the same time, the number of ablations in ventricular tachycardia with complex substrate decreased by 1 (2.7 %), totaling 36 procedures. A total of 96 extractions of electrodes were performed, which is 20 (26.3 %) more than in 2017. In addition, in 2018, 5 ECG recorders were implanted and 3 left atrial appendage closures were performed. Despite the positive dynamics, in the total number of procedures, primarily due to artificial rhythm drivers, there remains a significant heterogeneity in the availability of invasive methods of treatment across different regions of Ukraine. For example, ablation is only available in 7 regions, and atrial fibrillation ablations are performed only in 4 regions of the country. More than 10 defibrillator cardioverters have been implanted in only five centers in four regions of Ukraine. Despite the steady positive dynamics in Ukraine, the number of procedures performed is much lower than in other countries, members of ESC (European Society of Cardiology).Conclusions. There has been a significant increase in the number of invasive interventions for cardiac arrhythmias in Ukraine. In 2018, their number was the highest since 2010. At the same time, heterogeneity in access to them continues to exist across different regions of Ukraine, so further efforts are needed to improve the situation.

Cardio-oncology is a new discipline in the field of medicine, with the main goal of identification, treatment and prevention of cardiovascular complications before, during and after cancer therapy. In recent years, progress in cancer treatment and the use of novel technologies has contributed to the improvement of cancer patients’ survival. The development of cardiovascular complications during anticancer treatment negatively affects the quality of life and worsens prognosis in potentially cured patients, especially in those with previous cardiovascular disease. Cardio-oncologists work in partnership with oncologists, oncohematologists, oncological surgeons, chemotherapists, radiologists, and primary care physicians. Proposed multidisciplinary approach makes it possible to provide the optimal anticancer treatment thereby improving the survival of cancer patients. In SI National Scientific Center «M.D. Strazhesko Institute of Cardiology» of NAMS of Ukraine, a center of cardio-oncology was established, which provides highly specialized outpatient and inpatient cardiac care to cancer patients. The main tasks of the cardio-oncology center are as follows: cardiovascular risk stratification before complex anticancer treatment: by operative intervention, before the beginning of polychemotherapy and radiotherapy, during treatment – by correction of cardiotoxic complications and comorbidities, monitoring of cardiotoxicity, primarily in patients with a high risk of cardiovascular complications, during and after anticancer therapy. The cardio-oncology center provides educational work, research and coordination activities to introduce the new subspecialty in the clinical practice, and collaborates with non-governmental organizations. Ukrainian Association of Cardiology has created a cardio-oncology working group, issued the first guidance on the management of patients with cardiotoxicity.

We retrospectively and prospectively studied 835 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) under the age of 45 and older. Depending on age, patients were divided into two groups: < 45 years and ≥ 45 years. In 189 patients under 45 years of age, the main risk factors leading to the development of ST-elevation myocardial infarction were male sex (OR 6.58; 95 % CI (2.64–16.41), smoking (OR 2.02; 95 % CI (1.44–2.82) and family history of premature coronary artery disease (OR 1.75; 95 % CI (1.21–2.54). According to coronary angiography, AMI patients under 45 years of age in most cases showed no hemodynamically significant coronary vessels damage and had a different course of AMI caused by other reasons – aneurysms of the coronary arteries, muscle bridges, coronary spasm, spontaneous dissections. It was found that 10 % of young patients who did not have obstructive lesions of coronary vessels, according to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had focal myocarditis. However, it is noted that in patients under 45 years of age, the presence of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) may affect the development of AMI. Thus, according to the DLCNS criteria, FH was more frequently reported in young patients than in patients older than 45 years (7.34 % vs 1.32 % (p<0.05)). Hospital course of AMI in young adults was more favorable, with fewer complications. Data from studies of flow-dependent vasodilation have shown that young patients have worse endothelial function on the 1st day of AMI (p=0.043), but better recovery of it in the dynamics of observation. However, in young patients, early (day 7, p=0.029) and late (day 90, p=0.041) left ventricular dilatation was more commonly reported compared with older patients. According to the MRI data on day 1 and in the dynamics (90 days), it was found that, despite the higher prevalence of AMI, young patients have better recovery of contractile myocardial function. The arrhythmogenic substrate (according to late ventricular potential) for life-threatening arrhythmias was more commonly recorded in the older age group at the beginning of the development of AMI, but it was detected with the same frequency in both groups during prolonged observation (6–12 months). Despite better survival and fewer complications during long-term follow-up (4.9 years on average), the greatest impact on the development of the combined endpoint (cardiovascular death / recurrent myocardial infarction / stroke) and death from any cause was made by the patients’ age up to 35 years (best prognosis), concomitant hypertension (worsens prognosis) and low left ventricular ejection fraction (increases complications). The study indicates the possibility of implementing a secondary prevention system in AMI patients of young age through careful (active) observation and control of adherence to treatment and the adequacy of its implementation.

Published: October 2019

The impact of commercially prepared, fully bleached pulp viscosity variation on handsheet physical properties was evaluated at different levels of pulp refining. Hardwood pulps from the same brownstock species mix, cooking parameters, and kappa numbers were processed through two different commercial bleach
plants: one with a D0(EP)D1D2 sequence and the second with an OD0(EOP)D1 sequence. Additionally, a commercial softwood (predominately Scotts pine) brownstock pulp bleached by an OD0(EP)D1D2 sequence was employed in this study. Pulps with viscosities ranging from 14 to 21 mPa∙s were refined in a Valley beater to two freeness
levels, and the associated handsheet physical properties were measured in this study. Over the pulp viscosity range of 14 to 21 mPa∙s, no clear correlation was found to exist between pulp viscosity and related paper physical properties. Finally, a series of laboratory prepared bleached pulps were purposely prepared under non-ideal
conditions to reduce their final viscosities to lower values. Handsheets made from these pulps were tested in their unbeaten condition for physical strength properties. Significant and rapid strength loss occurred when the measured pulp viscosity dropped below 12 mPa∙s; overall strength properties showed no correlation to viscosity above the critical 12 mPa∙s value.
Commissioning brownstock washing controls for an evaporator limited mill
Authors: SANTOS RICARDO , HART PETER
Published: October 2019

An automated shower water control system has been implemented to reduce the volume and variability of weak black liquor being sent from the pulp mill to the evaporators. The washing controls attempt to balance the need for consistent and low soda carryover to the bleach plant with consistently high weak black liquor solids being sent to the evaporators. The washer controls were implemented on two bleachable grade hardwood lines (one with oxygen delignification, one without oxygen delignification) and one pine line. Implementation of the control program resulted in an increase in black liquor solids of 0.6 percentage points for the hardwood lines. Significant foam reduction was realized on the pine line since the pine black liquor solids were able to be consistently maintained just below the soap separation point. Low black liquor solids excursions to the evaporators were eliminated. Bleach plant carryover was stabilized and no negative impact on chemical consumption was noticed when controlling weak black liquor solids to recovery.
Deinking evaluation using near infrared narrow band digital image analysis
Authors: GONG ROLAND , D. FLEMING PAUL , CAMERON JOHN , PEKAROVIC JAN
Published: October 2019

The current deinking evaluation methods include visual image analysis (manual and digital) and optical reflectance (using the Kubelka-Munk equation). The mechanism of image analysis is simple: dark ink (mostly black) is isolated from the light background (fiber) and then captured visually or by digital devices. The image analysis methods have inherent limits, such as poor correlation with paper optical properties, and have large variances from sample to sample and side to side. In this paper, an innovative approach that employs a band of near infrared light and a digital imaging device was applied to address these limitations. This approach has advantages for isolating specks from backgrounds, obtaining high quality raw data, and significantly reducing the variances among the handsheets and their sides. By using the ink elimination equation derived from image analysis, reliable ink elimination rates were obtained that were well correlated with paper optical properties. This system was also applied to newspaper deinking evaluation with positive results.
Effects of silica on chemical recovery in the direct causticization of wheat straw black liquor

Published: October 2019

Straw black liquor is relatively difficult to recover using the Tomlinson process because of the presence of silica in inorganic components. Gasification with direct causticization might serve as a promising alternative; however, the interaction between silica and direct causticization agents needs to be evaluated. In this work, desilication was achieved using a laboratory-scale membrane electrolysis cell adopted from the chlor-alkali industry. Then raw and desilicated straw black liquors were carried out through direct causticization with titanium dioxide (TiO2) and recycled sodium tri-titanate (Na2O·3TiO2) at 850°C using a tube furnace. The results show that these two agents exhibit different silica transfer mechanisms. When using TiO2, approximately 80% of the silica is retained in the solid residue after hydrolysis because of chemical interactions. Almost all of the silica transfers to the hydrolysis-derived white liquor when using Na2O·3TiO2. This means that the process of treating straw black liquor by direct causticization might need additional lime causticization to improve the efficiency of sodium recovery. This observation also indicates that silica will not consume the direct causticization agent Na2O·3TiO2 after the initial step using TiO2. The sodium hydroxide (NaOH) yield was 60% when using raw black liquor as the feed to the Na2O·3TiO2 recycling tests and 80% when using desilicated straw black liquor. Considering the NaOH recovered in the electrolysis cell, the total NaOH yields exceed 85% of total titratable alkali. No detectable deterioration of the direct causticization agents was found within the limited number of recycles tested. A greater number of cycles need to be tested at a larger scale to evaluate the feasibility of applying a direct causticization process to straw black liquor.

Published: October 2019

The WestRock mill in Covington, VA, USA, initiated a long term diagnostic and optimization program for all three of its bleaching lines. Benchmarking studies were used to help identify optimization opportunities. Capital expenditures for mixing improvement, filtrate changes, equipment repair, other equipment changes, and species changes were outside the scope of this work. This focus of this paper is the B line, producing southern hardwood pulp in a D(EP)DD sequence at 88% GE brightness. The benchmarking study and optimization work identified the following opportunities for improved performance: nonoptimal addition of caustic and hydrogen peroxide to the (EP) stage, carryover of D0 filtrate to the (EP) stage, and carryover of (EP) filtrate to the D1 stage. As a result of actions the mill undertook to address these opportunities, D0 kappa factor decreased about 5%, sodium hydroxide consumption in the (EP) stage decreased about 35%, chlorine dioxide consumption in the D1 stage decreased about 25%, and overall bleaching cost decreased about 15%.
Acoustic analysis of recovery boiler dissolving tank operation and smelt shattering efficiency
Authors: LEPAGE HUGO , WONG WILLY , BUSSMANN MARKUS , TRAN HONGHI
Published: October 2019

The interaction of molten smelt and water inside a recovery boiler dissolving tank produces loud noise and can be violent even during normal boiler operation. Inadequate shattering of the smelt stream leads to even more violent interaction, as evidenced by an increased acoustic intensity of the dissolving tank. On rare occasions, a violent dissolving tank can explode, causing equipment damage and even injury to personnel. To warn operators of changes in dissolving tank conditions, an acoustics-based monitoring system could be developed. To assess the feasibility of such a system, acoustic observations were recorded at three pulp mills. Analysis of the recordings indicates that when a smelt stream is not being shattered, the intensity of the dissolving tank soundscape increases significantly and the frequency spectrum changes. We also observed a large variation between different mills both in average intensity and in signal variance. The results of this study suggest that the development of a monitoring system is feasible.

Mutual Coupling Reduction in Patch Antenna Array Based on EBG Structure for MIMO Applications
Authors: Alnaiemy Yahiea , Elwi Taha A. , Nagy Lajos
Published: October 2019

This paper presents a printed rectangular slot microstrip antenna array of two elements based on an Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structure. The proposed EBG structure is invented to improve the isolation between the radiating elements for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) application. Single and two slotted rectangular microstrip antennas are designed on an FR-4 substrate with a dielectric constant (εr) of 4.3 and loss tangent (tanδ) of 0.025 with thickness of 1.6 mm. The proposed EBG structure is designed as one planar row of 24 slots. The proposed array performance is tested numerically using Computer Simulation Technology Microwave Studio (CSTMW) of Finite Integration Technique (FIT) formulations. The antenna performance in terms of reflection coefficient (S11), isolation coefficient (S21), radiation patterns, boresight gain and Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) are investigated before and after introducing the EBG structure to identify the significant enhancements. The proposed EBG structure is located between the radiating antenna elements to reduce the mutual coupling of the proposed antenna array. The edge to edge separation distance of the proposed antennas is λ0/16, where the λ0 is the free space wavelength at 2.45 GHz. The simulated results show a significant isolation enhancement from –6 dB to –29 dB at the first resonant frequency 2.45 GHz and from –10 dB to –25 dB at the second resonant frequency 5.8 GHz after introducing the EBG structure to the antenna array.

Oncogenic RAS provides crucial survival signaling for up to half of multiple myeloma cases, but has so far remained a clinically undruggable target. RAL is a member of the RAS superfamily of small GTPases and is considered to be a potential mediator of oncogenic RAS signaling. In primary multiple myeloma, we found RAL to be overexpressed in the vast majority of samples when compared with pre-malignant monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance or normal plasma cells. We analyzed the functional effects of RAL abrogation in myeloma cell lines and found that RAL is a critical mediator of survival. RNAi-mediated knockdown of RAL resulted in rapid induction of tumor cell death, an effect which was independent from signaling via mitogen-activated protein kinase, but appears to be partially dependent on Akt activity. Notably, RAL activation was not correlated with the presence of activating RAS mutations and remained unaffected by knockdown of oncogenic RAS. Furthermore, transcriptome analysis yielded distinct RNA expression signatures after knockdown of either RAS or RAL. Combining RAL depletion with clinically relevant anti-myeloma agents led to enhanced rates of cell death. Our data demonstrate that RAL promotes multiple myeloma cell survival independently of oncogenic RAS and, thus, this pathway represents a potential therapeutic target in its own right.
How can neurological outcomes be predicted in comatose pediatric patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest?
Authors: Kim Hyo Jeong
Published: October 2019

The prognosis of patients who are comatose after resuscitation remains uncertain. The accurate prediction of neurological outcome is important for management decisions and counseling. A neurological examination is an important factor for prognostication, but widely used sedatives alter the neurological examination and delay the response recovery. Additional studies including electroencephalography, somatosensory-evoked potentials, brain imaging, and blood biomarkers are useful for evaluating the extent of brain injury. This review aimed to assess the usefulness of and provide practical prognostic strategy for pediatric postresuscitation patients. The principles of prognostication are that the assessment should be delayed until at least 72 hours after cardiac arrest and the assessment should be multimodal. Furthermore, multiple factors including unmeasured confounders in individual patients should be considered when applying the prognostication strategy.

Одночастинні симфонії Авета Тертеряна: композиційно-драматургічні аспекти (на прикладі П’ятої та Шостої симфоній)
Authors: Verdiian Mariam
Published: October 2019

Розглянуто особливості симфонічного стилю А. Тертеряна на прикладі його одночастинних симфоній. Проаналізовано драматургічні та композиційні параметри П’ятої та Шостої симфоній. Сонорика, алеаторика та мікрохроматика визначені як основні композиторські техніки в побудові композиційного профілю творів. П’яту симфонію проаналізовано з урахуванням специфіки втілення східного відчуття звуку. Встановлено значення монодичної традиції як стрижневого формоутворюючого фактора та основи драматургічного розгортання матеріалу.

У концепції Шостої симфонії виявлено зв’язок із семантичним ядром реквієму. Визначено, що музика не успадковує структурних моделей жанру, але композитор зберігає в ній смислові коди заупокійної меси. Досліджено принципи відтворення архаїчних символів національної культури через використання фонем старовірменської лексики.
Перший фортепіанний концерт Й. Брамса та Скрипковий концерт Р. Шумана: присвята чи ремінісценція?
Authors: Kashuba Denys
Published: October 2019

Актуальність теми зумовлена потребою осягнути музичні твори Й. Брамса в аспекті його «шуманіани». Мета дослідження ‒ здійснити аналіз фортепіанного концерту Й. Брамса в контексті шуманівських ідей. У статті використані методи музичної компаративістики з позиції осмислення авторської присвяти в нотному тексті. Результатом дослідження стало встановлення подібностей та розбіжностей між обраними творами. Робиться висновок, що аналогії, які виникають між двома концертами, мають характер не присвяти, а ремінісценції.
Education and socialisation in later life: The case of a University of Third Age in Portugal
Authors: Porcarelli Andrea , Ricardo Rute
Published: October 2019

In recent years, researchers have become increasingly interested in studying various dimensions of ageing and learning based on various disciplinary approaches. Nevertheless, insufficient research attention has been paid to education and learning among older adults (over 65 years old). Similarly, researchers have placed insufficient focus on the impacts of older adults’ learning and the benefits to their wellbeing. In this paper, we will present the results of a case study on a University of Third Age (U3A) in Portugal. We adopted an exploratory position, and our approach included documentary analysis, naturalistic observation, and semi-structured interviews. Our case study results revealed that this U3A is a non-formal learning space in which older adults are able to engage in different activities that stem from educative practices and socialisation between adults. In some cases, the U3A represents an opportunity to participate in an activity that individuals were unable to do earlier in their lives. However, without a space in which to socialise, such as a bar, it seems not difficult for new social networks to be generated and maintained. Such networks help to counteract older adults’ isolation and loneliness. This fact gives us some important clues concerning the relationships between individuals’ education, socialisation (social relations), and wellbeing.

1,3 – Thiazines have been applied as useful starting materials in the stereo selective synthesis of compounds of pharmacological interest and they have served as chiral ligants and auxiliaries in enantioselective transformation. The thiazines are of great importance because they act as precursor for the synthesis of Cephalosporins (3,6-dihydro-2H-,1,3-thiazine) and then converted to the thiazine derivatives (an heterocyclic compounds). Therefore, it was thought to combine chalcones moiety to thiazine derivative together in a molecular frame work to see the biological activities, additive effort of these rings towards biological activities like Anti- bacterial and Anti- fungal activities.

O objetivo desta produção científica, a qual foi originada da pesquisa de mestradorealizadano âmbito do PROFLETRAS, é analisar as (re)leituras e reflexões dos alunos da 8ª sériesobre “O Massacre de Alto Alegre” a partir das vozes indígenas. Para tanto, baseadonos estudos de Antunes (2009), Bakhtin (2006), Geraldi (1997), Kleiman(1995),Street (1984), Alberti (1998),coletamos, inicialmente,os depoimentos dos indígenas Guajajarassobre o conflito, e depois, em sala de aula, promovemoso acesso a esses testemunhos, momentos de discussões e palestra com o historiador Carlos EduardoPenha Everton. Ao final do projeto, os alunos produziram, em equipe, uma revista no gênero de História em Quadrinhos (HQs) acerca do conflito. As análises sobre as (re)leituras e reflexões dos alunos, oralizadas e escritas, revelam que o ensino de língua materna se torna mais efetivo quando ultrapassamos os limites da estrutura linguística, isto é, quando mobilizamos, de forma interativa e reflexiva, conhecimentos significativos dentro do contexto social, culturalehistórico dos discentes.

Nyelvi kompetencia-elvárások a multikulturális munkaerő piacon
Authors: Feketéné Silye Magdolna
Published: October 2019

Proficiency in a foreign language, especially when combined with knowledge of and skills in another professional area, is highly desirable in the multicultural marketplace. Just as business and media have experienced global changes over the last few decades, so, too, has grown the acceptence of English around the world as the lingua franca for economic and scientific exchange. Second language speakers increasingly turn to English as a requirement of international communication. It is more than understandable that in many European companies, proficiency in English may even be a hiring criterion (Inman, 1983). The spread of English thus privileges certain groups of people and may harm others who have less opportunity to learn it.One can rightly conclude that we are in an age when communicative language skills in English are an indispensible component of literacy. Many claim that this may well entail significant changes in the social and individual values of nations and people.This paper investigates some of those underlying social and economic processes that have over the past few decades brought English language literacy into the focus of the attention of many researchers and educators. In the framework of the paper, certain issues of the conceptual impact that these changes have (or are presumed to have) on English language education are also discussed.
