Number and Grammatical Gender Attraction in Spanish Pronouns: Evidence for a Syntactic Route to Their Features
Authors: Kandel Margaret , Pañeda Claudia , Bahmanian Nasimeh , Martinez Bruera Mercedes , Phillips Colin , Lago Sol
Published: January 2025

When a speaker produces a pronoun, they must choose a form that carries the appropriate features. The current study investigates how speakers identify these features. We consider two possible routes: a conceptual-lexical route, whereby pronouns derive their features from the concept of the referent, and a syntactic route, whereby pronoun form is determined through a feature matching operation with the linguistic antecedent. We hypothesize that the use of these two routes should be differentially susceptible to interference from representations other than the pronoun’s referent. We use agreement attraction to distinguish them. In two experiments, we test whether Spanish speakers produce number and grammatical gender attraction errors. We observe small but reliable attraction effects for both features, demonstrating that pronoun formulation can be disrupted by the linguistic representations of nearby nouns. These attraction effects suggest that speakers can use a syntactic route to pronoun form.

Marsigli madártani munkájának jelentősége a magyar ornitológia történetében
Authors: Bankovics Attila
Published: January 2025

The paper analyses the ornithological material of L. F. Marsigli’s Danubius Pannonico-mysicus, Volume V, based on the original engravings and the Hungarian translation by
Szabolcs Hursán, which is currently being published. Based on the current knowledge of the
Hungarian and Carpathian Basin bird life, it compares and analyses the species in Marsigli’s
work, revealing the similarities between the drawings and the textual descriptions and the
contradictions that sometimes appear. The paper also uses a similar methodology to examine
the chapter on bird nests and eggs in the volume. Finally, the species of birds listed and precisely identified by Marsigli are projected into the modern system of domestic bird species, producing a list of species described by Marsigli that can also be considered authoritative today.

Authors: Papp Gábor
Published: January 2025

The first part of the study describes the dual (military and scientific) links of
Marsigli’s life and oeuvre, followed by the chronological overview of Marsigli’s activities in
earth science and a tracing of the sources of his natural (and earth) science knowledge. Next,
it outlines the research history of Marsigli’s Hungary-related earth science activities, the chronology of his stay in Hungary, and the timing of his earth science observations during that
period. Focusing on Marsigli’s reseach style, the role of i) information received from local experts and ii) collected on site, iii) on-site observations and experiments, iv) observations on
collected/received specimens, as well as v) laboratory experiments and vi) drawing/mapping
in the creation 3rd volume of the Danubius is discussed. In connection with the description of
the structure of the third (“earth science”) volume of the Danubius, the changes that occurred
compared to the Prodromus published 26 years before are recorded. The geological information contained in the work is reviewed according to the style of its communication: topographic mineralogical contributions presented in a systematic framework, summaries about the
river sediments, the location and products of the mines, and the structure of the mountains
and ore veins, and finally Marsigli’s general theory of the origin of metals (ores) in comparison
with Aristotelian and Cartesian theories and their contemporary interpretations in Hungary.
L. F. Marsigli Danubiusának kiadástörténete és magyarországi recepciója
Authors: Tóth Anna Judit
Published: January 2025

The aim of this study is to examine L. F. Marsigli’s Danubius Pannonico-mysicus
from the point of view of book history. I will review all the publications that were produced
in connection with the decades-long research project Danubius (prodromes, translations, independent illustrated volumes, map albums), and discuss the publication variants that were
discovered. In the second half of the paper, I will examine the provenance of the volumes in
the territory of historical Hungary. This pattern explains the relatively delayed reception of the
work in domestic research: most of the copies were brought to the country in the second half
of the 19th century, a smaller number in the late 18th century and at the turn of the century,
usually in connection with library foundations or planned collections of Hungarica. I will focus
in particular on the Transylvanian copies, since during the 18th century that was the only place
in Hungary where the Danubius was referred to.

In the increasingly fierce business competition, utilizing sales transaction data is crucial to improve business performance, including at Warung Dini. This research aims to identify customer purchasing patterns at Warung Dini by applying the Apriori algorithm, which is one of the effective data mining methods in uncovering associations between items in large transaction data. Using the Apriori algorithm, this research successfully found 12 association rules consisting of 5 combinations of two itemsets and 2 combinations of three itemsets, with a minimum support value of 60%, confidence 100%, and lift ratio 1. These itemset combinations reveal products that are often purchased together, such as Rice and Soy Sauce, as well as combinations of three products such as Rice, Soy Sauce, and Instant Noodles. These findings provide important insights for Warung Dini to optimize marketing strategies, such as designing attractive promotional packages and arranging product placement more strategically to increase sales. In addition, the results of this analysis also help the store in predicting stock needs, thus improving operational efficiency. The implementation of the Apriori algorithm in this study not only provides insight into sales patterns, but also supports more precise and strategic business decision-making, so as to strengthen the competitiveness of Warung Dini in a competitive market.

Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1a) and the problem of obesity
Authors: ARANA BALLESTER SANTI , BARTOLOMÉ MORENO CRUZ
Published: January 2025

INTRODUCTION The prevalence of obesity has tripled over the past 40 years. Several glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1a) have been authorised for weight loss recently. OBJECTIVE To analyse the evidence supporting the use of GLP1a for overweight and obesity in non-diabetic adult patients. To discuss the role thereof in the fight against the obesity epidemic. Methods. The pivotal clinical trials of liraglutide, semaglutide and tirzepatide in non-diabetic adult patients published up until April 2024 were examined. Trials studying the effects of suspending treatment and one trial in patients with established cardiovascular disease were also analysed. RESULTS GLP1a provoke weight loss while treatment remains ongoing. In secondary prevention, semaglutide reduces the risk of cardiovascular events to a modest extent. The use of surrogate outcomes, the proportion of withdrawals and problems of external validity limit the relevance of these findings. Gastrointestinal adverse events are common and the incidence of serious events is notable. CONCLUSIONS The role of GLP1a in therapeutic medicine remains to be clearly defined, therefore the prescription thereof should be restricted to the sub-groups that will achieve the greatest benefit. Accessibility to lifestyle interventions should be ensured. The solution to the obesity epidemic requires political intervention regarding the social factors that promote it.
Path Planning under High-dimensional Input States Based on Deep Q-Network
Authors: Yang Yixian
Published: January 2025

The field of autonomous navigation continues to face challenges in path planning, particularly when addressing the complex, high-dimensional input states that conventional algorithms struggle to process efficiently. This study presents a novel path-planning approach that utilizes Deep Q-Networks (DQN) to manage intricate and multidimensional environmental data. By integrating a DQN with path planning, this study aims to develop an adaptive system capable of making real-time decisions in dynamic environments. The methodology involves training a neural network to approximate the Q-function, enabling the agent to learn optimal strategies directly from unprocessed sensor data such as visual or LiDAR inputs. Experiments conducted in both simulated and real-world scenarios demonstrated the efficacy of this method, revealing significant improvements in route optimization, computational efficiency, and robustness against unforeseen obstacles compared to traditional techniques. The proposed system was evaluated in diverse settings, including urban environments and challenging terrain, illustrating its versatility. These findings suggest that DQN-based path planning has considerable potential for applications in robotics, autonomous vehicles, and other domains requiring intelligent decision-making under uncertainty.
Una gran puzza di merda nell’aria. La performatività decoloniale del disgusto nel reading di Wissal Houbabi
Authors: De Blasio Jacopo
Published: January 2025

Visceral, instinctive, aversive: disgust takes the form of a complex, often overwhelming sensation. It represents the risk of jeopardizing the integrity of a vague and illusory purity. Indeed, the expression of disgust appears as a firm claim to superiority over the other, considered inferior, inhuman and infectious. According to Tuija Saresmo and Urho Tulo- nen, populist rhetoric uses precisely disgust to emphasize the sharp distinction between the superior, i.e., white, and racialized subjects, legitimizing the implementation of poli- cies xenophobic discrimination. Disgust then becomes the necessary means of consoli- dating social order by exerting violence against supposedly defiling bodies.
In Una gran puzza di merda nell’aria, Wissal Houbabi addresses the structural racism inherent in the construction of Italian culture, focusing specifically on the murder of Younes El Boussettaoui committed by Massimo Adriatici in Voghera in the summer of 2021. Beginning with the title of the performance, the artist uses terms that can be traced back to disgust to describe the attitude taken by the Northern League alderman, nauseated by the presence of a man of Moroccan origin, therefore different, homeless, that is, on the margins of civilized society, and suffering from mental disorders, therefore infectious. At the same time, however, disgust in Houbabi’s work takes on a an unprecedented decolo- nial connotation, restoring the revulsion felt by Bahijia El Boussetaoui, the victim’s sister, in front of the impunity of the crime committed by Adriatici, who returned to freedom after a brief period spent under house arrest.
This paper, therefore, aims to investigate the performativity of disgust from a decolonial perspective, examining Houbabi’s work as a significant case study significant, especially in relation to today’s national context.

Authors: HUSSAIN M , RAHIM F , HABIB G , ALI MA , KHAN MS , SABA NU
Published: January 2025

Infections are a common cause of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exacerbations, however, unexplained dyspnoea may be due to factors such as Pulmonary embolism (PE). In the cases of congenital diseases, early diagnosis of PE plays an important role mainly as regards morbidity and mortality. This work aims to determine the rate of PE in patients of COPD presenting with unexplained dyspnoea during exacerbations. Objectives: to assess the suspicion of Pulmonary thromboembolism in patients with COPD during acute exacerbation with unrevealing dyspnea and to compare clinical consequences and risk elements involved. A Cross-sectional study. The study was conducted from 21 June 2024 to 20 December 2024 at, Diagnostic Radiology Department, Sandamen Provincial Hospital Quetta. Methods: This cross-sectional study comprises 150 COPD patients having acute exacerbation and unexplained dyspnea. Participants had clinical assessments taken, D-dimer measurement and computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) done for the diagnosis of PE. The following patients were excluded from the study; patients with known factors that precipitated dyspnea. Statistical methods were used to analyze the data and in all the tests, a significance level of p < 0. 05 was used in this study. Results: Out of the total 150 patients, 28 patients were diagnosed with PE which accounts for 18. 6%. Regarding the mean age, the patients were 65 ± 7. 3 years of age. PE-positive patients had significantly elevated D-dimer levels as compared to the control group (p = 0. 03). The measure of dispersion for D- dimer levels was 220 ng/mL. Patients with PE had higher heart rates (mean ± SD: In addition, another study revealed that such patients present with higher heart rates (average of 102 ± 12 bpm) than patients without PE (p = 0. 01). Conclusions: Pulmonary embolism is well-known to be a cause of ‘Shortness of breath ’ in COPD exacerbation and it was present in almost one-fifth of the patients in this study. CTPA can help in early identification for most patients in the study and thus enhance their overall clinical prognosis for COPD patients, especially during exacerbations for which routine screening using the D-dimer test should be encouraged.

The study enrolled 90 patients with clinically diagnosed DED. Patients were stratified into three age groups: 18–35 years, 36–55 years, and 56+ years. Each patient received topical lubrication treatment, and data on symptom severity, tear break-up time (TBUT), ocular surface staining, and Schirmer's test results were recorded at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. Results: The study revealed that older patients (56+ years) had a slower and less robust response to topical lubrication compared to younger groups. Improvements in TBUT, Schirmer’s test, and symptom relief were more significant in the 18–35 age group, indicating better ocular surface recovery. Conclusion: The response to topical lubrication in DED varies significantly with age, with younger patients showing better and faster improvement in clinical outcomes. Personalized age-specific treatment strategies may be essential for optimizing DED management.

The gold standard treatment for symptomatic stage III and IV hemorrhoidal disease is hemorrhoidectomy, which is a surgical procedure. To improve outcomes and minimise complications, ligasure hemorrhoidectomy is one of the new techniques being used. Objective: The objective of this study was to compare Ligasure Hemorrhoidectomy and Milligan Morganm Haemorrhoidectomy in terms of operative time, postoperative pain and bleeding. Methods: The study was conducted at the Department of General Surgery in DG Khan Medical College DG Khan from 1st September 2023 to 31st August 2024 after obtaining permission from the ethical board of the institute. 64 participants of both genders and different age groups were enrolled in this study. Individuals whose ages were 18 to 80 years who had 3rd-stage haemorrhoids and were able to tolerate spinal anaesthesia were included. Participants were randomly divided into two equal groups. Group A is undergoing Ligasure hemorrhoidectomy and Group B is undergoing Milligan Morgan hemorrhoidectomy. A specifically created proforma with bio-data and relevant particulars was used to gather data on blood loss, operating time and pain. SPSS V-24 was used for the data analysis. The independent sample t-test was used to compare blood loss operative time and pain severity. A P-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: A total of 64 individuals participated in this study out of which males were 43(67.18%) and females were 21(32.8%). The age ranged from 18-80 years and the mean age in group A participants was 51.40 ± 14.90 years while in group B it was 49.47 ± 13.63 years. In group A (Ligasure ) the mean post-operative pain score was 5.39 ± 2.51 while in group B (Milligan Morgan) was 8.53 ± 3.78 (the P value equal to 0.0001). In group A (Ligasure), the mean blood loss during surgery was 2.47 ± 1.22 ml, but in group B the operation), it was 18.83 ± 4.44 ml (where p 0.0001). Group A mean operation time was 32.8 ± 6.78 minutes, whereas group B was 39.69 ± 5.89 minutes. Conclusion: Ligasure haemorrhoidectomy is time-sparing and associated with less post-operative pain and post-operative bleeding as compared to conventional Milligan Morgan hemorrhoidectomy.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for gallbladder disease. The role of abdominal drainage in this procedure remains controversial, with concerns about its impact on pain, infection rates, and recovery time. Objective: .This study aimed to compare the outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed with and without abdominal drainage. Methodology: This was conducted in the surgical ward of MTI Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, from January 2024 to July 2024. One hundred twenty patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallbladder disease were randomly allocated into two groups: Group A (with drain, n=60) and Group B (without drain, n=60). Postoperative outcomes including pain, wound infection, nausea, and hospital stay were assessed. Results: The mean age was 49.12 ± 18.56 years for Group A and 51.70 ± 13.69 years for Group B. Postoperative pain scores (VAS) were higher in Group A (4.75 ± 1.62) than to Group B (3.63 ± 1.10, p=0.0001). Wound infections were more frequent in Group A (15%) than in Group B (3.3%, p=0.02). Postoperative nausea and vomiting occurred in 25% of Group A patients versus 8.3% in Group B (p=0.01). Hospital stay was considerably longer in Group A (3.13 ± 1.50 days) compared to Group B (2.15 ± 0.84 days, p=0.0001). Conclusion: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy without abdominal drainage had better postoperative outcomes than with drainage.
Slovakia: Taxation Policy in the Light of EU Tax Policy
Authors: Vartašová Anna
Published: January 2025

This chapter presents a broad overview of the dynamics of the coexistence of a Member State – the Slovak Republic – and the European Union (EU), which share competencies in the area of taxation. From the perspective of the Slovak Republic, this chapter examines the general concept of state sovereignty; further, it explores how the Slovak Republic’s sovereignty is affected by its membership in the EU, especially in light of new tax legislation. Conferring part of its sovereignty to the EU, the Slovak Republic applies the monistic principle of regulating the relationship between EU law and national law and prioritizes EU law over its own. Notably, this chapter also explores the EU’s direct legislative competences in tax matters and its visions and efforts in the sphere of direct taxation, where its legislative position differs from that for indirect taxes. In this regard, Slovakia can be seen as a supporter of EU legislative actions that lead to a more cooperative approach towards common European problems; however, not all initiatives were perceived as beneficial for the Slovak Republic – some may hold risks for the state’s economy. Given that a Member State’s sovereignty and tax competence are closely connected to tax competition, this chapter also considers this topic; in particular, this chapter explores why Slovakia did not positively receive some of the EU’s proposals, particularly the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CCCTB). Subsequently, this chapter turns to the Slovak Republic’s overall policy and particular measures in the fight against tax evasion in light of its attitude towards EU. This area is of special importance for the Slovak Republic. In the last decade, the Slovak Republic has introduced action plans for fighting tax evasion and tax fraud and many related individual measures. Further, Slovakia generally affirms the EU’s related measures as helpful in solving tax evasion. The data show that these activities are yielding positive outcomes in Slovakia, with the amount of taxes evaded generally declining.
Czech Republic: Czech National Bank’s Role in the Monetary Policy
Authors: Tomášková Eva , Radvan Michal
Published: January 2025

This chapter deals with monetary policy in the Czech Republic, in which the Czech National Bank plays a crucial role. Broadly, the objective of monetary policy is to ensure price stability. Notably, Czech Republic has not joined the Eurozone – it is a member of the European System of Financial Supervision and cooperates with the European Systemic Risk Board and European Supervisory Authorities. While, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Czech Republic met most of the Maastricht criteria for the euro, with the exception of compliance with normal exchange rate fluctuation margins, the situation has changed with the pandemic: currently, it only meets the criterion of the total general government debt-to-GDP ratio. Meanwhile, the most important factor for decision-making is the degree of alignment of the Czech economy with the Eurozone, which is key to outweighing the gains from the introduction of the euro over the losses from its own monetary policy. Presently, it is not possible to state that the Czech economy is significantly aligned with the euro area. As a non-member of the euro area, the Czech Republic is not obliged to join the European Banking Union. Important to note is that the Czech Republic regularly prepares a study that analyses all relevant aspects of its possible participation in the European Banking Union to help it make an informed decision on whether to join the European Banking Union before adopting the euro. These studies show that the banking sector in the Czech Republic is highly stable; therefore, it is increasingly advantageous for the Czech Republic to remain outside the European Banking Union. Notably, the Czech Republic used interest rates and foreign exchange interventions to ensure the stability of the economy during the pandemic and, subsequently, the Russo-Ukrainian war.
Slovenia: Slovenia’s Monetary Policy and Experience in the Euro Area
Authors: Festić Mejra , Bohinc Rado
Published: January 2025

The Bank of Slovenia decided on its strategy of monetary targeting due to the stable money demand function, stable velocities, and stable monetary multipliers, and balanced the approach with limited exchange rate flexibility. Inflation was proven to be conditioned by trade margins, accounting for 39% of the variance in inflation in the 18 months after the introduction of the euro in Slovenia. The 2008 banking crisis required a new approach to the recapitalisation of Slovenian banks. Privatisation laws were in full swing throughout the overheating of the Slovenian economy between 2004 and 2008. Slovenia decided to transfer bad banking claims to a bad bank (DUTB); however, the project was executed too late at the deepest point of the economic cycle. The difference between the Slovenian specifics and the EU terms was that the banks in Slovenia were primarily owned by the state, and thus the state stepped into the recapitalisation process as an owner and not a state. All regulations and directives of the euro area were implemented under national laws. The Bank of Slovenia, similar to the entirety of the Eurosystem, implemented the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programe and other non-standard monetary policy instruments.

Authors: He Guanhong
Published: January 2025

Under the framework of global economic power dynamics, the United States and China stand out as two dominant economic giants, significantly influencing the progress and development of the world economy. For both nations, higher education plays a crucial role in international development and social prosperity. Therefore, this paper focuses on an objective analysis of higher education in the United States and China through a review of relevant literature. The findings indicate that China's higher education system is relatively equitable, and the achievements of its compulsory education effectively open future pathways for its citizens. However, the system faces immense pressure, with a prevailing emphasis on scores among faculty and students. In contrast, the U.S. higher education system is rich in content and diverse in structure, yet it also grapples with significant issues of inequality because of the distinctive distribution of opportunities and expensive tuition fees
