Learning unacceptability: Repeated exposure to acceptable sentences improves adult learners’ recognition of unacceptable sentences
Authors: Tachihara Karina , Goldberg Adele Eva
Published: April 2022

People who learn a new language as adults tend to judge unconventional utterances more leniently than native speakers do, while both groups’ ratings on acceptable utterances tend to align more closely. Experiment 1 confirms this asymmetry with 61 English-speaking undergraduate students enrolled in Spanish classes. The finding that unconventional utterances are particularly hard for learners to fully appreciate raises the possibility that conventional utterances may not statistically preempt unconventional paraphrases for adult learners. To investigate this, we report a preregistered study that provides the undergraduates learning Spanish with three days of exposure to conventional Spanish sentences involving one of two sets of constructions. They performed self-paced reading initially and after exposure. While native Spanish speakers displayed the expected slow-down when reading the unconventional sentences (Exp 2), but the learners did not, regardless of exposure or proficiency. At the same time, judgment data reveal that even beginning learners at the initial assessment explicitly rate unconventional sentences somewhat lower than conventional sentences, and the recognition of unconventionality increases with proficiency. Moreover, the judgment data reveal an effect of statistical preemption, particularly on intermediate learners, as predicted: repeatedly witnessing conventional sentences significantly impacted subsequent ratings of unconventional paraphrases. Collectively, the current findings indicate that adult learners do take advantage of statistical preemption to identify unacceptable sentences, but their ability to recognize unacceptability in real-time lags far behind.

Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS) classifies the different ultrasound patterns of thyroid nodule into different TIRADS classes based on their malignant potential. And ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is considered the most accurate method to evaluate thyroid malignancy. A prospective study was carried out during 2020 - 2021 in the Department of Radiology & Imaging of Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Attarkhel, Jorpati, Kathmandu, Nepal, in which a total of 115 patients underwent ultrasonography of the lesions in one or both lobes or isthmus of the thyroid gland. The patients underwent FNAC or biopsy for these thyroid lesions. This study was carried out to correlate ACR-TIRADS findings in USG of thyroid nodules with FNAC or Biopsy findings. The ages of the patients ranged between 13 years to 77 years, with 72 female patients and 43 male patients. Different varieties of USG features were found in all the different categories of the ACR-TIRADS scoring system. Of total 115 nodules, maximum cases were in TR 3 (33.0%), followed by TR 2 (28.7%), TR 4 (18.3%), TR 1 (13.9%) and TR 5 (6.1%). Cytopathological reports revealed 75.6% of cases to be non-neoplastic. Among neoplastic lesions, 14 (12.2%) were of the indeterminate type of lesions and 14 (12.2%) were malignant nodules. Colloid goiter constituted the majority of non-neoplastic thyroid nodules (39.9%) and papillary carcinoma constituted 8.6% of the cases. The risk of malignancy was 0% for TR 1 and TR2 nodules, 7.9% for TR 3 nodules, 23.9% for TR 4 nodules, and 85.7% for TR 5 nodules. TIRADS score and cytopathological findings correlated well for TR 1, TR 2, and TR 5 lesions but showed less agreement for TR 3 and TR 4 nodules. This might be because of the overlap of USG characteristics between benign and malignant thyroid nodules.

Published: April 2022

There is a great diversity in nature of menopausal symptoms and frequencies across countries, even in the same cultures. These symptoms could be unpleasant and disabling leading to depression in some menopausal women. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the prevalence of depression among menopausal women and to assess the association of menopausal symptoms with the socio-demographic variables. A cross sectional study was conducted in the Tankisinuwari area of Morang District. Total of 355 menopausal women were enrolled using systematic random sampling. The women were interviewed using semi-structured questionnaire. Depression was assessed according to Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Data analysis was done using SPSS 16 version. The majority of women 226 (63.7%) were illiterate and 226 (63.7%) of them were living below the poverty line. Mean age of menopause and (SD) was 46.81± 4.64 years. Prevalence of depression was found to be 31.5% (n=112). Among women belonging to Dalit caste, menopausal symptoms were more common as compared to other ethnic groups. Menopausal symptoms were experienced most frequently by women living below poverty line. The menopausal symptoms which was found to be significantly associated with literate women was complaints of irritability (p=0.023) whereas with illiterate women were sleep problem (p=0.045), decrease in sexual desire (p=0.012) and nocturia (p=0.041). Depression was significantly associated with low economic condition (p=0.011). As there is increase in the life expectancy and population of menopausal women in Nepal, large efforts are required to educate and make these women aware of menopausal symptoms. It is also important for health-care providers to understand the differences between cultures, so that appropriate advice can be given and treatment can be tailored according to the needs of the community, irrespective of the country.

Authors: Rizyal Aparna , Pathak Deeptara , Manandhar Roji
Published: April 2022

Dermatitis also known as eczema, is inflammation of the skin, typically characterized by itchiness, redness and a rash. Dermatitis was estimated to affect 245 million people globally in 2015 or 3.34% of the world population. In Nepal, studies from different parts of the country have reported the prevalence of dermatitis between 15.9 to 39.2%. Severe dermatitis with repeated scratching and rubbing of the face predisposes the patient to various ocular complications. A hospital-based, cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted to assess the overall frequency and type of ophthalmological complications among patients with dermatitis at a tertiary care hospital in Kathmandu. A total of 91 patients were enrolled for this study. The minimum age was 5 years and maximum was 78 years, with the mean of 30.48 with a standard deviation of ± 20.28. The upper and lower limits for estimated mean age were 34.63 years to 26.33 years at 95% confidence interval. Seventy-one (78.0%) of all patients had ocular manifestations, many of them had more than one manifestation. Females outnumbered the males (41.8%; 36.3%) with respect to the occurrence of ocular manifestations in dermatitis. The commonest ocular manifestations were blepharitis in 35 (38.5%) patients, followed by eyelid eczema in 13 (14.3%) patients, allergic conjunctivitis in 5 (5.5%) and patients with other manifestations. Based on professional classification, over one fourth of the participants were students accounting for 44.0%, followed by homemakers accounting for 23.1% and shopkeepers accounting for 11.1%, respectively. A statistically significant association was observed with the ocular manifestation in relation to gender (p value=0.03) and occupation (p value=0.03). However, no association was observed between ocular manifestation with duration of dermatitis (p value=0.65), type of dermatitis (p value=0.94), personal and family history of allergy/atopy (pvalues=0.26; 0.58, respectively).

Korean Financial Thrillers: Neo-liberal Governmentality in Default and Black Money
Authors: Kim Jaecheol
Published: April 2022

Cet essai vise à étudier les thrillers financiers coréens produits à la fin des années 2010, en particulier Default (Kook-hee Choi, 2018) et Black Money (Ji-yeong Jeong, 2019). Ces deux films ont dévoilé le visage sombre du capitalisme financier — non seulement en démystifiant les difficultés existantes et les défis causés par la crise du crédit, mais aussi en analysant l’ordre social du monde néolibéral actuel. En Corée, le néolibéralisme s’est développé après la crise financière asiatique de 1997 et il a été justifié par le fonds de sauvetage du FMI reçu par le gouvernement coréen pour échapper au défaut souverain. Les thrillers financiers coréens examinent le capitalisme mondial d’un point de vue nationaliste, et ils developpent un récit anticolonial pour representer la formation sociale néolibérale comme un type de régime colonial. Néanmoins, leurs points de vue ne se limitent pas à une portée nationaliste ; ils dêfinissent la logique d’exploitation actuelle comme une logique distinctive qui s’écarte de celle des anciennes relations coloniales. Ils comprennent l’économie néolibérale comme une gouvernementalité qui peut déplacer la souveraineté nationale, et ils imaginent des contre-conduites potentielles contre elle.
Reflections
Authors: Chow Jeremy
Published: April 2022

This essay uncovers how queer rage can motivate and inspire change within eighteenth-century studies. Paying homage to Susan Stryker’s foundational work on transgender rage and monstrosity, I present a performance piece that endeavours to rage against the “eighteenth-century machine” and its long and enduring histories of queer erasure and gaslighting, which are always sub-tended by intersectional discriminations. As I term it, the eighteenth-century machine demands a mechanization of conduct, affect, and performance that has been safeguarded and mobilized by a totalizing white supremacy upon which the vast majority of learned societies are built. Queer rage here attempts to call out these stifling arrangements and seek remediation. Through a series of vignettes, this reflection addresses how rage, clarity, queerness’s polyphony, and citational praxes may become an incendiary politics by which eighteenth-century studies can give up its pernicious ghosts and rise from the pyre.
Analytical, numerical, and experimental determination of dynamic characteristics of prestressed concrete girders
Authors: Atmaca Barbaros , Ateş Şevket , Günaydın Murat
Published: April 2022

To determine the dynamic characteristics of bridges with prestressed girders, their natural frequencies and mode shapes used to construct the superstructure must be known. However, there is no agreement among scientists on how prestress force affects the dynamic characteristics of a precast prestressed girder. The purpose of this paper is to obtain the dynamic characteristics of prestressed concrete girders through analytically, numerically, and operational modal testing. For this purpose, one of a typical precast I-girder with 1.2 m height and 27.45 m effective span length is selected as a numerical application. The three-dimensional (3D) finite element model (FEM) of the girder is modeled by SAP2000. Experimental measurements of the girder were conducted at the construction site by the operational modal testing method. For experimental measurements, ten uniaxial seismic accelerometers were mounted at the top flange of the PSC girder in the x- and z-direction. The vibrations that occur from the movement of trucks and cranes at the construction site and the impact of the hammer were measured by these accelerometers as acceleration. The measured signal was collected at the data bank and then sent to the computer equipped with Operational Modal Analysis software which used Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition and Stochastic Subspace Identification techniques. The dynamic behaviors of girder were derived from analysis performed by this software. At the end of the study, the dynamic characteristic was obtained by the analytical prediction, numerical and experimental were compared with each other. It is seen that natural frequencies and mode shapes obtained from theoretical prediction, numerical and operational modal testing are not too far apart.

Published: April 2022

This paper aims to present blasting effects on the structural response of a 5-story building considering its columns, shear walls, beams, slabs, raft foundation, masonry walls, and windows. A building with a geometry of 12×20 m in plan and a height of 15.5 m is considered. The three-dimensional finite element model of the building is constituted using ANSYS Workbench and blasting analysis is explicitly performed in ANSYS AUTODYN. TNT is exploded to give blasting effects on the structure. The duration of the explosion is set to 3-msec. Stresses, displacements, material status, and pressures due to blasting on some gauge points are presented. It is seen from the study that the blast causes local damage to the load-bearing elements.

Published: April 2022

Food waste is a global issue that has been around for a long time but is unconsciously becoming more serious. This is also experienced by Indonesia, which also contributes to donating food waste. Food waste can occur from upstream to downstream from production to consumption. Farmers as actors in food production are also not spared from food waste behavior. This study aims to determine what factors affect food waste for farmer households in Klaten Regency. In addition, it provides ways of handling non-consumable food and strategic recommendations for the government in responding to the phenomenon of food waste to support food security. The method used in this research is descriptive-analytical. The number of samples used was 30 farmers in Klaten Regency. The selection of Klaten as the research location was determined purposively because this location is the largest rice-producing area in Central Java. The data analysis method used in this research is multiple regression. The results showed that two variables affect food waste: the level of education and the number of family members. The significance value of the two variables is 0.0000, so that the value is less than the alpha value of 0.05. Inadvertently, some households have processed the leftover food, such as making it as organic fertilizer. In addition, several households provide leftover food to livestock. The strategic step that the government must take in tackling this food waste problem is to conduct a massive campaign and, if necessary, implement it in the education system so that people are more aware of food waste.

Published: April 2022

In early 1990, Indonesia entered as the third-largest exporter in the world after Ivory Coast and Ghana. The number of cocoa farmers is estimated to be 1.4 million households, generally on a small scale, with an area of about two hectares of cocoa. The very high increase in cocoa prices during the economic crisis in the late 1990s contributed significantly to the poverty alleviation of cocoa farming communities, especially those in rural areas. Almost 20 percent of the national cocoa production comes from West Sulawesi Province. The Cocoa National Movement Program (Gernas) in West Sulawesi is a locomotive for community-based development as a holistic, integrated program involving stakeholders to increase productivity and quality and encourage the growth of the cocoa trade and industry. The Central Government subsequently carried it out formed the National Movement for the Improvement of Cocoa Production and Quality. The research showed that there had been a significant increase in cocoa productivity in Mamasa Regency, West Sulawesi, between before the National Movement Program and after its implementation through rejuvenetion, rehabilitation, and intensification programs. Rehabilitation activities are higher than those of rejuvenation and intensification. Rejuvenation increased cocoa production from 342.68 kg.ha–1.year–1 in 2008 to 605.05 kg.ha–1.year–1. Rehabilitation increased  cocoa productivity from 332.47 kg.ha–1.year–1 in 2008 to 720.98 kg.ha–1.year–1 and intensification   increased cocoa productictivity from 328.27 kg.ha–1.year–1 in 2008 to 531.45 kg.ha–1.year–1 during the program implemented.
Recent Advances in Interface Engineering for All-Solid-State Batteries
Authors: Park Sangbaek
Published: April 2022

All-solid-state batteries are attractive energy storage devices with high stability and energy density due to their non-flammable solid electrolytes that can utilize lithium and allow cells to be stacked directly in series. It is essential to develop superior solid interfaces for its commercialization by improving the interfacial stability and kinetics. However, complex interfacial phenomena in both solid electrolyte/cathode and solid electrolyte/anode make the interfacial problem of all-solid-state batteries difficult to solve. To overcome this issue, the origins of high resistance and low stability at solid interfaces have been widely explored and alternatives have been proposed accordingly. In this paper, the main methodologies and recent advances for solving the solid electrolyte/electrode interface problems will be reviewed in the chemical, electrochemical, and mechanical aspects.
Fatherless Children and Listening Spirits
Authors: Stolz Rosalie
Published: April 2022

Kinship among Khmu villagers of northern Laos is usually presented in anthropology as patrilineal. However, the ritual of a ‘small marriage’ can confirm a child’s belonging to the mothers’ house. The affirmation of the child’s maternal belonging is simultaneously about separation and exclusion from paternal ties and requires for its success careful measurements of kinship. During the ritual, quantities of food, gifts, and money become indicators of belonging. Human measurements are accompanied by spirit measurements that are unknowable but can have fatal consequences. Even though rituals are meant to achieve closure and establish belonging, ambiguities remain as a result of diverging measurements of kinship.
Adult cerebellar glioblastoma categorized into a pediatric methylation class with a unique radiological and histological appearance: illustrative case
Authors: Ono Takahiro , Hinz Felix , Tanaka Shogo , Takahashi Masataka , Nanjo Hiroshi , von Deimling Andreas , Shimizu Hiroaki
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND

Recent studies report that cerebellar glioblastoma (GBM) is categorized into the RTK1 methylation class. GBM pediatric RTK (pedRTK) subtypes are distinct from those of adult GBM. We present a unique adult case of cerebellar GBM classified into the pedRTK subtype.

OBSERVATIONS

Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a homogeneous enhancing lesion in the right cerebellum in a 56-year-old woman presenting with ataxia and dizziness. Arterial spin labeling and angiographic findings and the intraoperative orange-colored tumor appearance were reminiscent of hemangioblastoma. She showed an atypical presentation in terms of high glucose metabolism. The histological diagnosis was high-grade glioma with differentiation similar to central nervous system neuroblastoma. The methylation class was GBM pedRTK1. Consistent with this classification, immunoexpression was positive for SOX10 and negative for ANKRD55. She underwent craniospinal radiotherapy (23.4 Gy) with a boost to the tumor bed (total 55.8 Gy). Twelve courses of temozolomide therapy were administered. There was no recurrence 18 months after surgery.

LESSONS

Radiological and intraoperative findings, such as hemangioblastoma and high glucose metabolism, were notable characteristics in the present case. Both glial and neuronal differentiation and SOX10 immunoexpression were presenting pathological features. Similar cerebellar GBMs might form a previously unestablished subtype. Establishing effective molecular diagnoses is important.

Introduction: Intrauterine growth restriction plays a significant role in short and long term adverse outcome. It is reflected in the relatively high incidence of neurodevelopmental impairment and somatic growth failure. Growth in the first year of life gets an opportunity to recover its growth deficit of intrauterine life and to catch up with its normal birth weight siblings Objective of the Study: To assess the postnatal growth of intrauterine growth restricted newborns at 3, 6 and 9 months of age. Methodology: A Prognostic cohort study was conducted at Department of Neonatology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Shahbag, Dhaka, Bangladesh from 1st April 2017 to 20th September 2018. It involved monitoring of 31 intrauterine growth restricted newborns and 39 normal birth weight neonates over a period of 9 months. Follow up were done at 3, 6 and 9 month of age. At every visit weight, length, occipitofrontal circumference and chest circumference were measured. Data was analyzed using SPSS 20 and plotted in tables and graphs. Data imputation was done for the missing data. Multiple regression analysis was done for confounder of growth when data was statistically significant. Results: Mean birth weight were 1748 ±437.09 g and 2893.54±467.07g, birth length 44 ±4.2439 cm and 49.26±1.634cm, birth occipitofrontal circumference 30.76 ±2.380 cm and 34.35±1.083cm, birth chest circumference 24.39 ±1.940 cm and 29.15±2.933cm in IUGR and control group respectively which was statistically significant. There were catch-up weight gain in 3, 6 and 9 months of age in IUGR group but it was less than the normal birth weight group during the followed-up period. During the follow-up period, cacth up growth in length achieved in first 9 months of age. During the first 3 months there were no catch up growth in IUGR babies head circumference but it increases in normal rates. Mean chest circumference values at 3 months were statistically significant and after multiple regression analysis, it is significant for birth length. In general, IUGR babies when compared with the control group remained small in all the four growth parameters but it had catch up growth in first 9 months of age. Conclusion: During the follow-up period, catch-up of growth achieved regarding weight, length, OFC and chest circumference but the growth parameters were lower than the appropriate for gestational age birth weight newborns

This format of play leads to a ligament tear due to a direct blow to the knee, either from a fellow athlete or the judo mats. Injuries mainly occur due to a poorly executed throw or bad falling technique. The knee usually buckles and pain is severe. This knee injury affects the players badly. Objectives: To find the percentage of knee injury and affection on functional status and quality of life of judokas. Methods: Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria 100 subjects were enrolled for the study of purposive sampling. Judokas filled the set of questionnaire about knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score. Results: Data was meaningfully assorted through calculation of mean, median and standard deviation. Value of mean is 55.48, median is 56 and standard deviation is 26.976. Conclusion: The conclusion of the study is that 51% of the players have mild effect on their functional status and quality of life due to knee injury during their practice session followed by moderate 45% and only 4% of population has severe effect on their functional status and quality of life during and after their practice sessions.

Аскорбiнова кислота (вiтамiн С) є найбiльш поширенимантиоксидантом у рослинах. Охарактеризовано можливi шляхибiосинтезу вiтамiну С у рослин, зокрема через ГДФ-d-манозу та lгалактозу. Наведенi молекулярно-генетичнi докази, а також вiдмiнностiвiд бiосинтезу у тваринних органiзмiв. За винятком останнього етапу,який протiкає на внутрiшнiй мiтохондрiальнiй мембранi, бiосинтезаскорбату у рослин вiдбувається в цитозолi. Узагальнено лiтературнiданi щодо вмiсту аскорбiнової кислоти в тканинах i органах рiзнихсiльськогосподарських, культурних i дикорослих рослин та фактори, щона нього впливають.

Актуальним науково-технiчним завданням є вивченнякорозiйних процесiв i пошук дешевих та ефективних методiв захисту.Унаслiдок корозiйного руйнування втрачається близько 10% рiчноговиробництва металу. Тому антикорозiйним заходам придiляється значнаувага. Iнгiбiтори iржi є ефективним способом ї ї видалення та захистувiд корозiї. Останнiм часом пiдвищений iнтерес викликають так званi«зеленi iнгiбiтори». Багато рослин є джерелом таких iнгiбiторiв, комплексусполук алкалоїдiв, полiсахаридiв, бiлкiв, слизових i дубильних речовин.Усi вони, хоча i в рiзному ступенi, здатнi адсорбуватися на металевiйповерхнi та закрiплюватися на нiй. Проведенi дослiдження демонструютьможливостi захисту металiв вiд корозiї за допомогою екстрактiв рослин:томата їстiвного Solanum lycopersicum, чистотiлу Chelidonium majus L.,Althaea officinalis L., деревiю Achillea millefolium L.
