Spontani govor govornika urednoga jezičnoga i govornoga statusa rijetko je potpuno tečan. Dvije su temeljne skupine netečnosti. Mucajuće netečnosti javljaju se unutar riječi i karakteristične su za govorne poremećaje. Normalne netečnosti pojavljuju se između riječi i nisu nužno povezane s govornim poremećajima. Većina istraživanja pokazuje da se u uobičajenomu spontanome govoru na 100 riječi javlja šest netečnosti. Mucajuće netečnosti mogu biti prisutne i kod tečnih govornika, iako su rjeđe od normalnih. Kao najčešće vrste normalnih netečnosti kod tečnih govornika navode se umetanja, revizije te, od mucajućih netečnosti, ponavljanje jednosložnih riječi. Cilj je ovoga istraživanja ponuditi opis netečnosti odraslih govornika hrvatskoga jezika pri pripovijedanju. Zanimao nas je ukupan broj netečnosti, vrste netečnosti te u kojim se omjerima pojavljuju. Rezultati su sukladni ranijim istraživanjima jer je prosječan broj 6,5 netečnosti na 100 riječi. Sudionici su najviše proizvodili normalne netečnosti, najčešće umetanja popunjivača te revizije fraza i revizije riječi. Od mucajućih netečnosti najviše je bilo duljenja glasova, a nešto manje ponavljanja jednosložnih riječi. Iako je mucajućih netečnosti puno manje, pojavile su se sve vrste osim zastoja ili bloka.

Abstract: The agricultural sector plays a crucial role in sustaining the world's growing population. However, the prevalence of plant leaf diseases can significantly impact crop yields and quality. This project leverages the power of deep learning techniques to develop an automated system for the early detection of plant leaf diseases. By utilizing a large dataset of annotated leaf images and state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks (CNNs), this research aims to accurately identify and classify various plant leaf diseases, including but not limited to fungal, bacterial, and viral infections. In this project, we propose an innovative approach to tackle this issue. Specifically, we utilize convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to analyze images of plant leaves and classify them into healthy or diseased categories. To ensure the robustness of our model, we curate an extensive dataset comprising images of various plant diseases and healthy leaves. This project stands to benefit the agriculture industry by offering a cost-effective, scalable, and timely solution for plant disease detection.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Zhan Zheng
Published: March 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the corresponding types of extended meanings of Wearing-Taking off related vocabularies in Korean and Chinese, based on extended meanings of Wearing-Taking off related vocabularies in Korean and Chinese derived through literature research methods.
Methods To this end, Korean Wearing-Taking off related vocabularies such as ‘ipda’, ‘sinda’, ‘ssuta’, were entered in “Pyojungugeodaesajeon” to examine their original meaning and extended meanings, and then those with extended meanings were extracted. Next, similarly, Chinese Wearing-Taking off related vocabularies such as ‘chuan’, ‘dai’, ‘ji’, were entered in “XinHuaZiDian” to examine their original meaning and extended meanings, and then those with extended meanings were also extracted. Finally, based on this, corresponding types of Korean-Chinese and Chinese-Korean extended meanings of Wearing-Taking off related vocabularies were presented.
Results It was found that extended meanings such as ‘gamda’ and ‘ji’, ‘ipda’ and ‘chuan’ did not correspond at all as a result of examining corresponding types of Korean-Chinese extended meanings of Wearing-Taking off related vocabularies. It was also found that extended meanings such as ‘pei’ and ‘chada’, ‘zhai’ and ‘ppaeda’ did not correspond at all as a result of examining corresponding types of Chinese-Korean extended meanings of Wearing-Taking off related vocabularies. Although extended meanings of Wearing-Taking off related vocabularies such as ‘ssuta’ and ‘meng’, ‘dureuda’ and ‘wei’, ‘geolda’ and ‘gua’, ‘pulda’ and ‘jie’ were partially corresponded, it was found that there were no Korean and Chinese Wearing-Taking off related vocabularies in which extended meanings fully corresponded, whether Korean-Chinese corresponding types or Chinese-Korean corresponding types.
Conclusions Corresponding types of extended meanings of Wearing-Taking off related vocabularies in Korean and Chinese showed a certain difference. To be specific, extended meanings of Wearing-Taking off related vocabularies in Korean did not correspond at all or partially corresponded to that of vocabularies in Chinese. What's more, no Korean-Chinese Wearing-Taking off related vocabularies in which extended meanings were completely 1:1 corresponded.
A Study on Reading Activities for Genre Identification in French Online Newspaper Articles by Korean University Learners Majoring in French: Focusing on Discourse Competence
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Hong Seung-Hyun , Park Dong-Yeol
Published: March 2024

Objectives This study aimed to investigate the communicative competence and reading strategies employed by Korean university learners majoring in French in actual reading activities, with the overarching goal of enhancing communicative competence through reading education.
Methods To achieve this, the study focused on reading activities related to genre identification in French online newspaper articles. Ten Korean university students majoring in French and six native speakers participated in the reading experiment. The study utilized an eye-tracker and specifically analyzed fixation times (gaze duration, re-reading, and total reading time) required when reading words of the section and words indicating publication dates, based on information obtained from interviews.
Results Participants, driven by the reading goal of genre identification, selectively identified and integrated spatially dispersed words and phrases in the text, understanding the genre through their different interactions. Fixation times required to read words of the section and words indicating publication dates revealed differences between native speakers and Korean participants. In the case of native readers, who were considered experienced readers, fixation times were longer for words of the section, regardless of syllabic length, referential competence, or reading path. On the other hand, for Korean participants who were considered inexperienced readers in French reading, fixation times were influenced by syllabic length, comprehension, and reading path.
Conclusions The study highlighted that participants utilized communicative competence and selection strategies in reading activities aimed at genre identification. However, differences in reading aspects between the two groups indicated a particular deficiency in discourse competence among Korean participants in terms of communicative competence. In response, a pedagogical strategy that combines the teaching method ‘global approach to written texts' and Findlay and Walker's theory, an eye movement control model, was proposed. The research confirmed that understanding reading activity aspects is a meaningful approach to examining the (foreign language) communicative competence used by learners. It also emphasized the need for active reading that goes beyond relying solely on text, considering the characteristics of (non)linguistic elements provided by the text.

Published: March 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study is to present the direction of ChatGPT introduction and teaching and learning plans of universities by analyzing how ChatGPT perception and use behavior differ according to the characteristics of the faculty group in general situations and teaching and learning.
Methods For this purpose, 341 faculty at K University were analyzed for their general perception of ChatGPT and perception of educational use according to their major field, digital literacy competency, and experience.
Results First, in general, faculty' experience in using ChatGPT is high, and they use it for daily purposes such as searching for information and curiosity, and less for teaching. The reason why chat was not used was because they did not know how to use it and did not feel the need for it. Second, in terms of teaching and learning applications, the translation and summarization function was viewed most positively, and the spread of disinformation was viewed most negatively. ChatGPT utilization capabilities were high in the order of media exploration, research utilization, instructional design, and instructional application. Third, in the field of university support, ethics education for AI use and ChatGPT case sharing were the most important.
Conclusions In order to raise faculty' perception of ChatGPT and spread the right culture, it is necessary to establish an ethical foundation at the university, support digital education, and develop and present new technology convergence classes.

The role of metaphor in creating polysemy complexes in Jordanian Arabic and American English
Authors: Zibin Aseel , Khalifah Lama , Altakhaineh Abdel Rahman Mitib
Published: March 2024

Most papers written on polysemy focus on sense overlaps and lexical ambiguity, yet studies that explore the possibility of establishing a polysemic complex and explaining how the new interpretations arise through metaphor are almost non-existent in Arabic. This paper aims to explore how metaphor serves to create new concepts as part of polysemic complexes through adopting Dynamic Conceptual Semantics. The target words are bidʒannin [make mad][1] in Jordanian Arabic (JA) and mad in American English (AE). An online questionnaire containing 15 items was sent to forty participants (20 JA speakers and 20 AE speakers) where they were asked to provide the interpretations of the words bidʒannin and mad in contextualized sentences. The AE contextualized instances of mad were collected from Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) which generated 5,168 tokens of mad (in the years 2015/2019). The questionnaire results were discussed in a semi-structured focus-group discussion involving 10 participants. We have demonstrated that when an expression is deemed suitable for all situations categorized under both the primary perspective of madness and a related perspective involving exaggerated descriptions of entities, a concept (P) emerges that bears similarity or relevance to the polysemic complex ( bidʒannin\mad ) to which the expression belongs. In such cases, we can consider the related perspective (P') as a member of the polysemic complex ( bidʒannin\mad ). Thus, this study explains how the same metaphor can lead to a complex of multiple meanings in two different languages that are not necessarily related to each other.
Old English emotion is temperature: Cultural influences on a universal experience
Authors: Díaz-Vera Javier E.
Published: March 2024

In recent years, the study of emotion metaphors and metonymies has broadened our understanding of how people conceptualise and verbalise their emotional experiences. While some emotion source domains appear to be culture-specific, others are widely employed to denominate the same emotion. One of these potentially universal source domains, temperature, appears to be widely used by speakers from different areas to derive figurative expressions for positive and negative emotions. However, the systematic study of this emotion source domain remains uncharted territory, and numerous fundamental questions about the relations between emotions and temperature remain untouched. This study aims at approaching the question of whether, and to what extent, the motif emotion is temperature illustrates the existence of a universalist embodiment model or, on the contrary, it is a result of historical and cultural variation. With this aim, using cognitive semantic methodology, I will scrutinize the complete corpus of Old English texts (850-1100) to provide a fine-grained analysis of the expressions for positive emotions rooted in the source domain high body temperature used by Old English authors. Generally speaking, this source domain indicates negative experience, which is why it has normally been studied in the context of negative (and, in consequence, unpleasant) emotional experiences. However, as the findings of this study show, the existence in Old English of the conceptual mapping positive emotion is high body temperature challenges our previous understanding of temperature metaphors as a product of universal embodiment, thus contributing to the current debate on metaphors as culture loaded expressions.
Universality versus variation in the conceptualization of anger: A question of methodology
Authors: Kövecses Zoltán , Benczes Réka , Rommel Anna , Szelid Veronika
Published: March 2024

Cognitive linguistic investigations into the metaphorical conceptualization of anger suggest that languages are remarkably similar on a schematic level, with intensity and control as two, possibly universal dimensions underlying the metaphorical conceptualization of anger. These dimensions, however, can manifest themselves in language-specific metaphors. Yet arriving at a definitive answer to the question of universality versus variation is hindered by (a) a relatively limited number of systematic, contrastive analyses; and (b) varied methodologies, with some papers adopting a type-based account, while others following a token-based analysis. We take up both challenges in the present paper with the aim of offering a more definitive answer to the question of the universality and variation of anger metaphors. We investigate the anger metaphors of a type-based analysis, focusing on dictionary data of anger-related idioms, and a token-based analysis, focusing on data collected from online corpora, in three languages: (American) English (2,000 random instances of the lemma anger from the Corpus of Contemporary American English), Hungarian (1,000 instances of the lemma düh from the Hungarian National Corpus) and Russian (1,000 instances of the lemma gnev from the Russian National Corpus). The lexical data were analyzed with the well-established Metaphor Identification Procedure (MIP). Our results indicate that there is a great deal of congruence relative to shared metaphors in both approaches, but this derives from specific-level metaphors in the lexical approach, whereas it derives from more schematic, generic-level metaphors in the corpus-based approach. The study shows that the full picture of the metaphorical conceptualization of a complex emotion concept such as anger can only emerge with the combination of the type- and token-based approach.

Authors: Zibin Aseel , Solopova Olga A.
Published: March 2024

This special issue explores metaphor across languages, cultures, and discourses, bringing together papers that reflect the diversity and scope of this research area. The aim is to foster discussion and exchange ideas concerning the role of metaphor in conceptualization, persuasion, and the construction of meaning. In this introductory article, we focus on the two main themes: (1) the universality of metaphor versus cultural variations in its usage; (2) the communicative function of metaphor in discourse. Within these main themes, we discuss case studies that highlight specific domains, including universal and cross-cultural variation in metaphor usage, discursive and communicative aspects of metaphor, and multimodal metaphor. In this article, we provide a summary of the contributions of our authors that represent up-to-date research on issues involving metaphor from a wide scope of perspectives and manage to open up a methodological discussion within metaphor studies. Finally, we summarize the main results and suggest a brief avenue for further research.

Senso comum no uso de anticoncepcionais em cães e gatos
Authors:   , Silva Liliane Teixeira da
Published: March 2024

O aumento da população de cães e gatos no Brasil está cada vez maior, pois cães e gatos são de espécies multíparas, com isso alguns tutores têm recorrido ao uso de fármacos como métodos contraceptivos, pelo seu fácil acesso e baixo custo, porém não são orientados sobre os efeitos adversos do uso do medicamento. Os métodos contraceptivos podem evitar a superpopulação animal, impedindo a reprodução por um determinado período ou definitivamente. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar o grau de conhecimento da população em relação aos métodos contraceptivos e possíveis riscos do uso de anticoncepcional. Para isso foi criado um questionário composto de 14 perguntas, através da plataforma Google Forms, para alcançar o maior número de pessoas, não havendo contato direto ou coleta de dados pessoais, direcionado especialmente para tutores de cadelas e/ou gatas, onde obteve-se 132 formulários preenchidos. Com isso, entende-se que apesar dos tutores não saberem diretamente sobre os riscos do uso de anticoncepcional, sabem que não é o melhor método contraceptivo, devido aos malefícios causados.

A retículo pericardite traumática ocorre geralmente através de lesão e perfuração do reticulo devido a ingestão de corpo estranho. Este pode estar presente na alimentação preparada dos animais, que possivelmente se soltam dos pneus dos tratores ou dos borrachões que são usados para cobrir as silagens. Esta patologia causa danos de grandes proporções ao animal, podendo gerar ou desencadear outras várias infecções e patologias, além de gerar uma perda econômica aos proprietários. O objetivo desse trabalho é apresentar um relato de caso de reticulo pericardite traumática, diante da evolução do quadro o tratamento instituído não surtiu efeito sendo realizada a eutanásia e, posteriormente, a necropsia sendo dado o diagnóstico definitivo através dela, onde foi possível observar alterações macroscópicas, além do objeto pontiagudo no coração, caracterizando o quadro de reticulo pericardite traumática. Por ser uma patologia de difícil diagnóstico, geralmente a mesma só é identificada quando o animal se encontra em estágio avançado de sinais e sintomas, sendo utilizado com maior frequência a necropsia como diagnóstico confirmatório. É necessário que os profissionais compartilhem suas experiências sobre a temática, para que haja avanços nas produções de evidências sobre esta temática, e que mecanismos preventivos sejam socializados a fim de proporcionar melhores condições de manejo e evitar a ocorrência da doença.
Púrpura hemorrágica em equinos: revisão de literatura
Authors:   , Silva Gabriella Beatriz de Araujo e
Published: March 2024

As doenças autoimunes em equinos são condições em que o sistema imunológico do animal ataca erroneamente suas próprias células e tecidos saudáveis, levando a uma série de manifestações clínicas. Essas condições podem afetar diferentes partes do corpo, como pele, articulações, músculos, órgãos internos e sistema nervoso. A púrpura hemorrágica é um exemplo desta condição e é causada por uma reação de hipersensibilidade à proteína do sangue. Esta doença afeta o sistema vascular do animal, resultando em hemorragias sob a pele e nas membranas mucosas. A doença é causada pela ruptura dos pequenos capilares devido à fragilidade dos mesmos. Diante disso, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo fazer uma revisão de literatura sobre o tema. Para tanto foram utilizados os seguintes descritores: púrpura hemorrágica, doenças vasculares, doenças circulatórias e respostas autoimunes nas seguintes bases de dados: livros, artigos, sites, revistas e casos clínicos. Após esta análise conseguiu concluir-se que, apesar de se ter informações suficientes para realização de um trabalho, a grande parte das publicações, e relatos de casos não estão atualizadas, incentivando assim os médicos veterinários a escreverem e publicarem seus casos e protocolos para futuras comparações acadêmicas.

Published: March 2024

The hotel industry needs a clearly defined brand image in order to thrive and survive in a rapidly changing global market (Chi, 2016). This study strives to refine the determinants of customer-based brand equity (CBBE) that impact brand image and identify the moderating effect of tourism management and advertisement on the determinants and brand image in the context of the Bangladesh tourism industry. Data were collected through structured questionnaires from the selected four- and five-star hotel customers in Bangladesh and analysed using SmartPLS 2.0. It found that brand awareness, brand association, brand superiority, brand resonance and corporate social responsibility (CSR) were significant factors influencing brand image. CSR was the most significant among these five determinants, followed by brand superiority, brand association, brand awareness, and brand resonance. It was also explored that tourism management has a mediation effect on the degree of relationship between brand superiority and brand image, and brand resonance and brand image. Alternatively, the degree of advertisement affects the extent of the relationship between brand awareness and brand image, brand association and brand image, CSR and brand image. The tourism industry can utilize the findings of this study to enhance its marketing and branding strategies.
The Signifigance of a Waterfall Divided in Two
Authors: Eric Maltz
Published: March 2024

In January of 2022, I traveled with my family to Catarata Gocta, a two-tiered waterfall in the high rainforest, just outside of Cocachimba in Peru’s northeast. I seized this opportunity to conduct an artistic research experiment combining field recording, mystical participation, dream work, philosophy, and psychology. I incite and analyze dreams, peel back the perverse layers of my capitalist induced fantasies, exhaust liquid metaphors, engage in forms of mystical participation, discuss whether it’s even possible to record a place at all and draw connections and conclusions whose coherence is, well, maybe not so coherent. This essay touches on Sonic Journalism, the psychologies of Jung, the art criticism of Sontag and Berger and the art of Cage, Duchamp, and Hunter S. Thompson.

This systematic review provides insights on the effects of school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic and of measures to reduce learning loss while schools were closed. The review provides the first meta-analysis of learning losses that covers more developing countries than developed ones. It finds that a year of school closure is associated with learning loss equivalent to 1.4 years’ worth of learning and that school reopening reduces this loss to 0.7 years. Looking at measures to reduce learning loss, it finds that tutoring delivered either in-person or through mobile phones has positive, statistically significant effects.

Introduction. Identifying patients with nutritional risk, nutritive
assessment, and individual nutritional support are essential factors for the
quality of treatment. Showing the importance of nutritional and clinical
parameters as the essential indicators of the need for perioperative
nutritional support. Differences in albumin and protein concentrations in
the preoperative and postoperative periods of urology patients are directly
related to the patients? age. Material and Methods. In 130 urological
patients with malignancies, nutritional status was evaluated based on
preoperative appetite reduction, unintentional body mass loss in the
preoperative period, body mass index, the thickness of skin folds,
percentage of fat tissue, the difference between normal and measured body
weight, the level of albumins and total serum proteins preoperatively and
postoperatively and other clinical parameters such as the presence of
cardiovascular diseases and according to the classification of the American
Society of Anesthesiologists patients status. Interviews, medical history,
and anthropometric measurements were used in the research. Results. Of the
total number of respondents, 81.5% did not have a decreased appetite, and
69.2% did not lose body weight. According to the body mass index, the
highest percentage (50.77%) was normally nourished, while the malnourished
group only comprised of 0.77%. A decrease in albumin and protein
concentration was proven throughout the perioperative period. Older patients
had lower concentrations of albumin and protein in this period. Conclusion.
It is necessary to use several parameters, including body mass index and
percentage fat percentage measurement to assess the nutritional status.
Adequate perioperative protein nutritional support should be primarily be
administered to elderly patients.

Introduction/Objective. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a highly prevalent complication among the critically ill individuals who are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). This study deals with identifying the frequency and predictors of the lack of renal function recovery in non-renal functions among critically ill patients requiring dialysis for AKI (AKI-D). Methods. The study included 440 ICU patients from the University Clinical Center of Vojvodina in the period from 2014 to 2018. The patients required Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT). In this study, we analyzed various factors including demographic features, clinical characteristics, laboratory parameters, comorbidities, as well as the need for vasopressor therapy and mechanical ventilation on the day when AKI was confirmed. Additionally, we examined the different modalities of CRRT, which were used. Results. A retrospective analysis of the results included discovered that out of 440 patients with AKI-D, 242 (55%), average age 63.14, did not recover renal function. Significant predictors of renal function non-recovery in critically ill patients with AKI-D were: the patients age over 65 (p = 0.044), starting time of CRRT (p = 0.043), mechanical ventilation (p = 0.044) and previous kidney disease (p = 0.005). Significant predictors of renal function non-recovery in critically ill septic patients with AKI-D were: the patients age over 65 (p = 0.002), diabetes mellitus (p = 0.023), previous kidney disease (p = 0.045), CRP values < 100 mg/l (p = 0.033) and procalcitonin (p = 0.010), while in non-septic patients, the significant predictors of renal function non-recovery includes previous kidney disease (p = 0.035). Conclusion. Out of all examined predictors, both in septic and non-septic patients, previous kidney damage presents the greatest risk for renal function non-recovery in critically ill patients with AKI-D.

A lot of research has been carried out in the field of improving combustion efficiency and reducing exhaust gas, but the phenomenon of engine fuel spray hitting the wall cannot be solved well all the time, thus the phenomenon will increase exhaust gas emissions and reduce combustion efficiency. Based on oil pump test bench of Diesel engine, we designed spray-wall impingement?s test, did high speed camera shooting to capture the relevant motion characteristics of fuel spraing-hitting the wall by mosquito-rope method, under the starting process, the influence of different working condition on spray impingement was studied. The results showed that under the condition of high injection rate/low gas pressure, the impact time gets early and the diffusion range gets to be increased. When the injection rate/background gas pressure is constant, the diffusion distance will change dynamically due to the wall roughness, that is to, increase first and then decrease. The increase of the roughness of the contact wall will promote the increase of the height of spray impingement, however, as the temperature of the contact wall rises, the difference in height of spray impingement gets to be decreased due to roughness. When the wall roughness is small, increasing the wall temperature will reduce the horizontal development distance of spray, increases roughness, the difference in height of horizontal development distance gets to be decreased due to wall temperature.
Entropy generation and thermodynamic analysis of pool boiling heat transfer on doubly enhanced tubes

To improve the efficiency of the heat exchanger tube, one smooth tube and four doubly enhanced tubes (EX1, EX2, EX3 and EX4) have been investigated for the pool boiling heat transfer experiments in this paper. The indicate that the pool boiling heat transfer coefficient of the doubly enhanced tubes increased visibly with the augmentation of heat flux through the bubble behavior. Heat transfer reinforcement effect of the doubly enhanced tubes are significantly better than that of the smooth tube. Additionally, pool boiling heat transfer coefficient can be further enhanced by raising the saturate temperature. Entropy generation minimization analysis demonstrates that the heat transfer characteristics of like T-shaped tubes (EX1 and EX2) are superior to that of low fin tubes (EX3 and EX4). Particularly, tube EX1 exhibits higher pool boiling heat transfer efficiency. It is observed that a reasonable fin pitch is more advantageous for improving heat transfer characteristics. The utilization of entropy generation minimization analysis provides theoretical support for the design and optimization of doubly enhanced tubes.

As a core cooling device of reactor, a high temperature sodium heat pipe is designed in this paper which has a large aspect ratio of 126. The effects of heating mode and evaporation section length on its start-up are studied experimentally. The results show that the axial temperature uniformity of the heat pipe is better under variable power heating mode. As the evaporation cross-section length increases, thermal resistance decreases by 50%. Compared with heat pipes with low aspect ratio, heat pipes with large aspect ratio are more difficult to start up. Furthermore, numerical simulation is conducted on the designed sodium heat pipe to acquire the velocity and pressure distribution during steady-state operation.
