CNN Based Automatic Speech Recognition: A Comparative Study
Authors: Ilgaz Hilal , Akkoyun Beyza , Alpay Özlem , Akcayol M. Ali
Published: August 2024

Recently, one of the most common approaches used in speech recognition is deep learning. The most advanced results have been obtained with speech recognition systems created using convolutional neural network (CNN) and recurrent neural networks (RNN). Since CNNs can capture local features effectively, they are applied to tasks with relatively short-term dependencies, such as keyword detection or phoneme- level sequence recognition. This paper presents the development of a deep learning and speech command recognition system. The Google Speech Commands Dataset has been used for training. The dataset contained 65.000 one-second-long words of 30 short English words. That is, %80 of the dataset has been used in the training and %20 of the dataset has been used in the testing. The data set consists of one-second voice commands that have been converted into a spectrogram and used to train different artificial neural network (ANN) models. Various variants of CNN are used in deep learning applications. The performance of the proposed model has reached %94.60.
Ser madre en solitario: un retrato de las familias incompletas en la Castilla Moderna
Authors: Rodríguez Blanco  Cynthia
Published: August 2024

A lo largo de la Edad Moderna, en la sociedad occidental se impuso un modelo de género femenino en el que la mujer alcanzaba la plenitud a través de la maternidad matrimoniada. Partiendo de esa premisa, en este artículo nos proponemos conocer la experiencia vital de todas aquellas mujeres que, por desidia o ausencia de sus amantes, se vieron obligadas a afrontar la maternidad en solitario. Para ello nos hemos valido de documentación asistencial y criminal fechada a lo largo de los siglos XVI-XVIII que nos habla de estupros, violaciones, abortos, infanticidios, abandonos y adopciones. Una realidad en todo caso poliédrica a la que no se le ha prestado la atención suficiente por no responder al modelo ideal de familia: cristiana, ordenada y jerarquizada, en la que el hombre se ocupaba del sustento económico y la mujer de los cuidados.
Trust as a driver of teacher well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Labarthe-Carrara Javier , Salanova Marisa , Llorens Susana
Published: August 2024

Introduction: This study examines the impact of organisational trust on teachers’ well-being during virtual teaching throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in Uruguay (N = 351; 270 women, 81 men) using the Job Demands-Resources model for understanding. Method: This study was conducted by means of a Structural Equation Model. Results: The results show that trust in leaders and colleagues positively influences perceived personal resources and teachers’ engagement. Trust in leaders is positively related to organisational resources. Engagement is negatively linked to sleep problems, while high job demands are associated with more technostress, affecting teachers’ sleep problems. Conclusions: The importance of organisational trust in times of change is highlighted, emphasising its role in promoting positive psychological states and facilitating the use of resources to improve teachers’ well-being. The influence of trust on well-being is not direct but mediated by a series of variables.
Hábitos de consumo y valor nutricional de los recursos marinos entre los pescadores de Yucatán, México
Authors: Flores Monter Yasiri Mayeli , Crespo Guerrero José Manuel
Published: August 2024

Los recursos marinos desempeñan funciones importantes en la soberanía alimentaria y la nutrición al proporcionar alimentos e ingresos económicos. Sorprende que la pesca suela mantenerse apartada de los debates relativos a la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición. En el estado de Yucatán, la pesca representa una actividad socioeconómica sobresaliente. Los objetivos de la investigación consisten en: 1) identificar las distintas especies de pescados y mariscos consumidas por la población de pescadores; 2) reconocer sus hábitos y su frecuencia de su consumo, y 3) determinar el aporte nutricional de las especies de pescados y mariscos según la asiduidad y la forma de su consumo. La investigación contó con trabajo de gabinete y de campo. Se reveló que los pescadores consumen todas las especies que capturan, siendo las predominantes mero, rubia y canané. Por semana, la frecuencia de consumo de pescados es de 2 a 4 días y de mariscos de 1 a 2 días. Los recursos marinos son la principal fuente de proteína animal para los pescadores: por cada 100 g, el pescado aporta entre 14.5 y 24.7 g y el marisco entre 14.9 a 20.3 g. Las especies más consumidas y con mayor contenido de proteína son el esmedregal y el caracol, y con un menor contenido proteico, la mojarra de mar y el pulpo. Las especies ingeridas con abundantes grasas saludables son el pámpano y el camarón; estas también resaltan por su contenido en vitaminas liposolubles e hidrosolubles.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether micro-flow imaging (MFI) offers diagnostic performance comparable to that of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in detecting segmental congestion among patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).Methods: Data from 63 patients who underwent LDLT between May and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. MFI and CEUS data collected on the first postoperative day were quantified. Segmental congestion was assessed based on imaging findings and laboratory data, including liver enzymes and total bilirubin levels. The reference standard was a postoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan performed within 2 weeks of surgery. Additionally, a subgroup analysis examined patients who underwent reconstruction of the middle hepatic vein territory.Results: The sensitivity and specificity of MFI were 73.9% and 67.5%, respectively. In comparison, CEUS demonstrated a sensitivity of 78.3% and a specificity of 75.0%. These findings suggest comparable diagnostic performance, with no significant differences in sensitivity (P=0.655) or specificity (P=0.257) between the two modalities. Additionally, early postoperative laboratory values did not show significant differences between patients with and without congestion. The subgroup analysis also indicated similar diagnostic performance between MFI and CEUS.Conclusion: MFI without contrast enhancement yielded results comparable to those of CEUS in detecting segmental congestion after LDLT. Therefore, MFI may be considered a viable alternative to CEUS.
Questões de responsabilidade enunciativa e autoria em texto acadêmico produzido com auxílio do ChatGPT
Authors: Bernardino Rosangela Alves dos Santos , Guerra Zailton Pinheiro
Published: August 2024

Este trabalho propõe o estudo da responsabilidade enunciativa a partir da análise de um texto acadêmico produzido com auxílio do ChatGPT, buscando problematizar a atribuição da autoria nesse contexto de interação humana com uma ferramenta de Inteligência Artificial. A metodologia envolve a realização de um experimento com o ChatGPT, sendo o corpus um recorte da pesquisa em andamento no Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação Científica (PIBIC), na edição 2024-2025. O trabalho segue uma abordagem qualitativa, de natureza descritivo-interpretativa, e se volta para o plano ou nível enunciativo da análise textual, conforme propõe Adam (2011). Teoricamente, fundamenta-se na Análise Textual dos Discursos, em diálogo com pressupostos do Círculo de Bakhtin e da abordagem enunciativo-pragmática do ponto de vista. Como resultados, demonstramos que o ChatGPT insere as vozes alheias na materialidade do texto, indicando a imputação de pontos de vista (PDV), mas também emite certa posição “crítica”, conforme os comandos fornecidos. As marcas linguísticas expressivas de imputação foram os marcadores de mediativo, tais como “conforme”, segundo”, “como”, e os tipos de representação da fala, discurso direto e discurso indireto. Já o engajamento enunciativo foi sinalizado por meio de expressões modais, em que se observa um tom apreciativo, elogioso. Quanto aos elementos estilístico-composicionais do texto, destacamos o uso de estruturas sintáticas, fraseológicas e escolhas lexicais “engessadas” que parecem constituir um padrão mecânico de escrita. Os dados colocam em debate a autoria, já que não se expressa no texto a figura de um autor enquanto sujeito na origem de um PDV próprio.

Paulina Rivoli – Moniuszko’s Heroines and a Falcon soprano?
Authors: Kicińska Hanna
Published: August 2024

Paulina Rivoli was the first Warsaw Halka and then the first Countess in Moniuszko’s operas. In this article, I will relate how the singer, who at first frowned on Moniuszko’s proposals, launched the performance tradition of two great Moniuszko operas in which she created the title roles. Her immediate successors had to deal with the inevitable comparisons. Unfortunately, Rivoli suffered from serious vocal complaints. This was nothing unusual: phoniatric disorders plagued singers throughout Europe at that time, when massive changes were occurring in the aesthetics of solo singing. Rivoli was excellent in bel canto repertoire – a style of singing favourable to a maturing voice, which allowed her to develop fully. What was Halka’s original singing style? That was probably a mature period for Rivoli’s voice, which did not necessarily correspond to the notion of a modern, very ‘light’, even Donizettian approach to singing this role. Some of the circumstances surrounding the twilight of Rivoli’s career allow us to draw a comparison between her and another great singer whose career ended prematurely. Cornélie Falcon famously sang the role of Rachel in Halévy’s La Juive, which contributed to her legendary demise, and she had lost her voice irrevocably five years after her debut. Rivoli and Falcon sang similar repertoire, including Alice in Meyerbeer’s Robert le diable (Falcon’s debut and an early role for Rivoli), Donna Anna in Mozart’s Don Giovanni and Valentine in Les Huguenots, but Rivoli’s downfall was spread over a longer period, as her career lasted more than 20 years.  Nor was her loss of voice as drastic as that of Falcon, who was literally left voiceless during a performance of Niedermeyer’s Stradella. Rivoli’s problems grew gradually, peaking after the premiere of The Countess [Hrabina]. It was probably this last burst of energy that ultimately depleted her powers altogether.

Published: August 2024

When a component was built from a functionally graded material (FGM), the temperature of contact was determined using an analytical model (FGM). The analytical solution is applied using the concept of equivalent properties. In order to fully examine the dynamic of the equivalent property principle, a numerical analysis was done. The FGM (silicon carbide and aluminum) friction liner was used. It focuses on a few characteristics that have an impact, such as load, velocity, friction material type, and slip time, which appear in dimensionless form. The results show that for loads and velocities, the ratio of the rate of dissipation to the rate of generation of heat transfer is one, whereas the behavior differs for friction material and slip time. Furthermore, this study’s chosen FGM exhibits superior thermal behavior compared to Al and Sic, bolstering its viability as a friction liner in the clutch system.

Published: August 2024

The study aims to explore the implementation of stepwise inquiry in chemistry education. The levels of inquiry used range from structured inquiry (level 1) to guided inquiry (level 2). The research design involved methods of analyzing the implementation of inquiry levels, assessing the ability to answer questions, engage in critical thinking, and gather student responses. The research sample consisted of 73 students studying biochemistry. A total of 14 groups, each containing 5–6 members, were involved in this research. The research results show that six groups (SG) successfully followed the investigation process at the inquiry steps, while eight groups were unsuccessful (UG). The average scores of the sub-skills collaboration, communication, data collection, use of equipment, and implementation of experimental design were the highest compared to other subskills. The stages of interpreting problems, observation, experimental design, formulating hypotheses, data analysis, and developing conclusions are still in progress and are classified as low. The SG group had an average N-Gain critical thinking score higher than the UG group (p < 0.05). The analysis of the ability to answer questions and think critically shows that the category of developing hypotheses and analyzing arguments had the lowest ability to respond compared to other indicators.
A Palimpsest of Hong Kong Futures Across Three Fictions (1962–2046)
Authors: Overbeeke Bram
Published: August 2024

Hong Kong has been located in the future tense throughout various genres of writing and popular culture, serving as a model for free-market neoliberal thinkers, as a proof-of-concept for future national reunification and as the backdrop for techno-orientalist and cyberpunk narratives. Paradoxically, within recent Hong Kong cultural productions and civil society debates is often a strong sense of a foreclosed future. This paper traces three fictions that together navigate the shifting temporalization of Hong Kong, from Wong Kar Wai’s2046(2004), which adapts the pulp fiction writer frame narrative from Liu Yichang’sThe Drunkard(1963). The film’s anachronistic 1960s SF unexpectedly finds its way into an emerging genre/movement as seen in the video essaySinofuturism (1839–2046 AD)by Lawrence Lek (2016). These three (science) fiction texts reveal Hong Kong as a palimpsest of temporalities – an impossible fiction of ‘50 years of no change’, which somehow still returns as a site from which to imagine the future.
From Zurishaddai to Menachem Mendel: The Shlemiel’s Journey from Ancient to Modern Israel
Authors: DeKoven Ezrahi Sidra
Published: August 2024

This essay explores the evolution and resilience of the shlemiel, a central figure in two millennia of Jewish culture. Rooted in biblical narratives, the shlemiel transitions eventually into a symbol of Yiddish and Eastern European diasporic life, embodying both comedic and tragic elements. Tracing his journey through cultural history, from German to Yiddish and modern Hebrew and American literature, theater, and film, the essay delves into the complexities of his character, rooted in folklore and revolving around mistaken identity. Themes of gender and sexuality, along with interpretative acrobatics add layers of ambiguity and complexity, shaping the shlemiel’s narrative in various literary and cultural contexts. Through a detailed analysis of works by authors ranging from Heinrich Heine through Sholem Aleichem, Franz Kafka, Saul Bellow, Philip Roth, to Sammy Gronemann, the essay demonstrates the shlemiel’s versatility and enduring presence in Jewish comedy. Moreover, it examines his role as both a pariah and an agent for social change, reflecting on his significance in different cultural landscapes, as he lands eventually in America and Palestine/Israel in the 20th century. By exploring adaptations and interpretations across time and place, this essay highlights the shlemiel’s resilience amidst shifting societal norms across the globe, offering insights into the enduring relevance of this iconic figure in Jewish literature and culture.
Ultrathin Ge-YF3 antireflective coating with 0.5 % reflectivity on high-index substrate for long-wavelength infrared cameras

Published: August 2024

Achieving long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) cameras with high sensitivity and shorter exposure times faces challenges due to series reflections from high-refractive index lenses within compact optical systems. However, designing effective antireflective coatings to maximize light throughput in these systems is complicated by the limited range of transparent materials available for the LWIR. This scarcity narrows the degrees of freedom in design, complicating the optimization process for a system that aims to minimize the number of physical layers and address the inherent large refractive mismatch from high-index lenses. In this study, we use discrete-to-continuous optimization to design a subwavelength-thick antireflective multilayer coating on high-refractive index Si substrate for LWIR cameras, where the coating consists of few (e.g., five) alternating stacks of high- and low-refractive-index thin films (e.g., Ge-YF3, Ge-ZnS, or ZnS-YF3). Discrete optimization efficiently reveals the configuration of physical layers through binary optimization supported by a machine learning model. Continuous optimization identifies the optimal thickness of each coating layer using the conventional gradient method. As a result, considering the responsivity of a LWIR camera, the discrete-to-continuous strategy finds the optimal design of a 2.3-μm-thick antireflective coating on Si substrate consisting of five physical layers based on the Ge-YF3 high-low index pair, showing an average reflectance of 0.54 % within the wavelength range of 8–13 μm. Moreover, conventional thin-film deposition (e.g., electron-beam evaporator) techniques successfully realize the designed structure, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermography confirm the high performance of the antireflective function.
A Most Distinguished Hungarian Scholar of Eugene O’Neill
Authors: Kurdi Mária
Published: August 2024

Péter Egri (1932-2002) would have attained the age of ninety this year, has he not been, unfortunately, dead for twenty years. He became professor and chair of the English Department of Kossuth Lajos University, Debrecen, in the 1970s, then professor and for some years chair of the English Department in Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. The range of his scholarly interests was both wide and far-reaching. Shortly after Egri’s untimely death Zoltán Abádi Nagy wrote “A Memorial Tribute,” which says: “Péter Egri, who excelled in English, Irish and American comparative studies and aesthetics, was a man of several careers in literature alone; with musical and fine arts history and aesthetics added, a combination emerged that was unique on the Hungarian scene of the past few decades” (10). The richness of Egri’s scholarly production is available in sixteen books, some edited volumes, over two hundred studies and essays, as well as shorter writings published in Hungary and in some other countries. In view of the scope of his achievement he can rightly be called a “scholar of comparative literary and cultural studies.” As such, he was both an Anglicist and an Americanist, who addressed works by William Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Stephen Crane, Aldous Huxley, J. M. Synge, G. B. Shaw, W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot, Eugene O’Neill, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Edward Albee, Tom Stoppard and others in his publications. At the beginning of his career, Egri also researched and wrote about modern Hungarian authors including Attila József and Tibor Déry.

Ireland, Drama, and Social Decline: G. B. Shaw’s Man and Superman
Authors: McAteer Michael
Published: August 2024

Although one of the most influential playwrights of the early twentieth century, and certainly the dominant intellectual figure in London theatre up to the Second World War, George Bernard Shaw has never acquired the same canonical status in the repertoire of Irish drama that was afforded his contemporaries John Millington Synge and Sean O’Casey. The sheer enormity of Shaw’s output from the 1880s to his death in 1956 offers a partial explanation for this, dwarfing as it does the wellmeaning industrious efforts of those dedicated to the Literary Revival in Ireland from the 1890s. Shaw himself amplified the view that the movement from which the Abbey Theatre grew in 1904 was a provincial affair, of little consequence in the much wider social transformations that had given rise to socialism as the new radical political philosophy to which his work was dedicated.
Having It Both Ways? Sympathy and Self-Love in Thomas Jefferson’s Moral Philosophy
Authors: Vajda Zoltán
Published: August 2024

A long-time concern in literary studies, the sentimental conception of sympathyas a subject of scholarly inquiry, has recently also become a subject of Americancultural and intellectual history. Derived from eighteenth-century English empiricalpsychology, the theory of the senses and Scottish moral philosophy, sensibility andsentimentalism soon emerged giving priority to feeling and the senses over reasonand rationality.
CIBERVIOLENCIA EN ESPAÑA: TIPOS, VÍCTIMAS Y AGRESORES
Authors: Sousa Janara , Rodríguez Ávila Nuria , Rodríguez Martínez Pilar
Published: August 2024

Introducción: Esta investigación tiene como objetivo comprender la dinámica de la ciberviolencia en España mediante el análisis de noticias publicadas en el periódico El País. Se busca identificar a las víctimas y agresores más frecuentes, así como los principales tipos de ciberviolencia. Metodología: Utilizando el Análisis del Discurso, se examinó una muestra de 60 casos de ciberviolencia reportados en El País desde 2007 hasta finales de 2023. Resultados: La violencia en línea ha incrementado su presencia en España, destacando a las mujeres como las víctimas más comunes, mientras que los hombres se identifican principalmente como agresores. Los tipos de violencia observados con mayor frecuencia incluyen grooming, ciberacoso, filtración de contenidos íntimos sin consentimiento, y acosos sexual y moral. Discusión: Consistente con tendencias globales, las niñas y las mujeres jóvenes son las principales víctimas. También, se destaca el proceso de victimización de las mujeres con algún tipo de prominencia social. La discusión, además, subraya la desigualdad de género subyacente en la ciberviolencia. Conclusiones: Existe una notable impunidad respecto a la ciberviolencia en España, caracterizada por la falta de responsabilización de las plataformas digitales y una regulación estatal que aún se percibe como insuficiente.
Understanding Gaps of HIV Knowledge Among Transgender Young Adults: A Pilot Interview Study
Authors: DeMaio Danielle M. , Barerra Ellis P. , Post Julian , Boskey Elizabeth R. , Guss Carly E.
Published: August 2024

Many transgender young adults are unaware of the role of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in HIV prevention. Our aim was to understand where transgender and gender-diverse young adults receive health information about HIV and PrEP and their preferences for future learning. Semistructured, qualitative individual and group interviews were done with 14 transgender and gender-diverse young adults. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using thematic analysis. Four themes emerged from the interviews related to (1) making trustworthy education materials, (2) the importance of communities, (3) knowledge needed about PrEP, and (4) a lack of early and diverse classroom education. Transgender and genderdiverse persons are at higher risk for HIV than their cisgender peers, yet they have information gaps and hold misconceptions about preventative measures like PrEP. Such misconceptions may be addressed by early, inclusive conversations about HIV transmission and prevention.

Our study assessed the association between methamphetamine (i.e., crystal meth, CM) use and awareness and interest in event-driven (ED) PrEP among HIV-negative and those with unknown serostatus cisgender males and transgender people. We performed log-binomial regression analysis to predict awareness (i.e., having heard of ED PrEP) and being interested in ED PrEP. We found that participants who recently used CM were less likely to know of ED PrEP (aPR = 0.83, 95% CI [0.69, 0.99]) but more interested in ED PrEP (aPR = 1.12, 95% CI [1.01, 1.30]), after accounting for demographic and HIV-related behaviors. Opportunities to expand PrEP uptake and improve adherence among individuals who report CM use are essential to impact the HIV epidemic significantly. Continued research on the needs and best practices to work with this community is needed to ensure a successful rollout and implementation of ED PrEP.
Ensino de leitura e apropriação dos saberes pela didática da leitura subjetiva em nenhum peixe aonde ir (2006), de Marie-Francine Hébert
Authors: Brito Luciana
Published: August 2024

Este artigo apresenta a didática da leitura subjetiva a partir de trabalho docente sobre o livro infantil Nenhum peixe aonde ir, de Marie-Francine Hébert, 2006, que integra o acervo do Programa Nacional Biblioteca na Escola (PNBE). O trabalho aqui apresentado versa sobre a didática da leitura subjetiva, implementada na França no início do século XXI; e proposta de plano de trabalho com Nenhum peixe aonde ir, de Marie-Francine Hébert, 2006, enfatizando a depreensão dos saberes literários pela escrita de diários de leitura em sala de aula. Partimos da temática dos “conflitos sociais”, com o intuito de trilhar possibilidades de ensinar a ler literatura em sala de aula, para turmas do Ensino Fundamental II, 6º ano, por meio de elementos que revelam a subjetividade do leitor, bem como sua competência estética (Rouxel 2014: 28). O trabalho justifica-se pela subjetividade da leitura estar inserida de forma constitutiva no ato de ler, como questão contextual, sociocultural e identitária do leitor em formação (Jouve 2013: 65 e Michèli Petit,2008).
Tradição e ciência
Authors: Dos Santos Hermes Talles
Published: August 2024

O ensino de língua portuguesa, no Brasil, tem sido foco de atenção desde as décadas finais do século XX. Apesar das teorias linguísticas e educacionais contemporâneas objetivarem contribuir com tal processo de ensino e aprendizagem, o domínio dos estudantes da língua materna ainda não se encontra em níveis satisfatórios. Nesse sentido, muitas vezes, os professores são responsabilizados por tal insucesso, devido ao emprego da Gramática Tradicional e Normativa. Com base em dados de nossa pesquisa de doutoramento, procuramos discutir como conhecimentos tradicionais e científicos estão presentes e influenciam o processo de ensino da língua portuguesa, de forma a refletirmos sobre os conhecimentos apresentados pelos professores.
A constituição discursiva do escândalo político como luta social
Authors: Eduarda Gonçalves Peixoto Maria , Ferreira Ruberval
Published: August 2024

No Brasil, o escândalo político tem se tornado cada vez mais frequente, revelando as dimensões e o funcionamento do poder institucional no país. Pensando o evento particular em sua relação com a estrutura social mais ampla, este artigo objetiva apresentar e discutir o escândalo político como evento tenso de significação que se constitui discursivamente por instâncias enunciativas de mídia. Fundamentado teoricamente em uma concepção de escândalo político como acontecimento simbólico (THOMPSON, 2002) e em uma perspectiva de discurso enquanto prática articulatória hegemônica (LACLAU e MOUFFE, 1987; LACLAU, 2011), este trabalho empreende uma análise do escândalo político Novos Aloprados, descrevendo comparativamente o emprego da estratégia discursivo-textual da metáfora (LAKOFF e JOHNSON, 2002) nas práticas discursivas midiáticas das revistas Veja e Carta Capital. Os resultados obtidos indicam que o escândalo político em foco constitui-se discursivamente em embates hegemônicos, o que permite uma leitura do evento em geral como luta social.

Published: August 2024

O livro de Roberta Pires de Oliveira e Sandra Quarezemin aposta na metodologia de investigação da Linguística Formal, sobretudo no método negativo chomskyano – que consiste no julgamento de gramaticalidade de sentenças (cap. 3) –, para sugerir uma metodologia de trabalho em sala de aula, cujo objetivo primeiro é despertar a curiosidade do aluno pela investigação científica, tomando, como objeto de estudos, a gramática – aqui entendida no sentido de Chomsky (1986), i.e., como “conhecimento internalizado” (p. 43) – de sua língua materna e a de outras línguas à disposição no espaço escolar. A obra questiona (i) o silenciamento dos documentos oficiais em relação à contribuição que teorias formais teriam ao ensino de língua como também (ii) problematiza os resultados, infelizmente ainda negativos, das avaliações a que se submetem os alunos da educação básica, como o teste de Pisa, apesar de terem se passado, conforme apontam as autoras, vinte anos desde a publicação dos PCNs (p. 25).

Moving effectively is essential for any animal. Thus, many different kinds of brain processes likely contribute to learning and adapting movement. How these contributions are combined is unknown. Nevertheless, the field of motor adaptation has been working under the assumption that measures of explicit and implicit motor adaptation can simply be added in total adaptation. While this has been tested, we show that these tests were insufficient. We put this additivity assumption to the test in various ways and find that measures of implicit and explicit adaptation are not additive. This means that future studies should measure both implicit and explicit adaptation directly. It also challenges us to disentangle how various motor adaptation processes do combine when producing movements and may have implications for our understanding of other kinds of learning as well (data and code:https://osf.io/3yhw5).
Derivation of seed viability constants (KE and CW) and prediction of longevity of Solanum aethiopicum seeds
Authors: N'Danikou Sognigbé , Nickas Jonas , Shango Abdul J. , Kilasi Newton
Published: August 2024

The seed viability equation uses species viability constants to predict seed longevity under different storage conditions. There are already established universal values of constants that account for the effect of temperature on seed longevity (CH and CQ)
which can be applied to different crop species. However, constants accounting for the effect of seed moisture (CW) and genotype (KE) are species-specific. This study aimed to derive viability constants and predict seed longevity for African eggplant (Solanum
aethiopicum) under genebank conditions. The seeds were subjected to experimental storage at 40°C and different seed moisture contents (6, 8, 10 and 12%) for 120 days to derive survival curves and hence, CW and KE. CW and
KE values for S. aethiopicum were 3.32 and 7.4978, respectively. The validation of the derived constants show that they can be used to predict seed longevity of other seed lots within the same species. The genebank curators and other commercial seed technologists may
be able to accurately predict longevity of African eggplant seeds under cold dry storage conditions using the improved viability equation and the constants established in this research.
Mama, gdje stoje slatkiši? O uporabi glagola tjelesnog položaja u hrvatskom jeziku
Authors: Vidaković Erdeljić Dubravka
Published: August 2024

Tema su ovog rada glagoli kojima se označava tjelesni položaj u hrvatskom jeziku (glagoli stajati, sjediti i ležati). Analize ekvivalenata tih glagola u brojnim jezicima (Newman 2002a) pokazuju da su izrazito višeznačni te da, osim sekundarnih leksičkih značenja, u određenim kontekstima dobivaju i neke gramatičke funkcije, kao npr. funkciju kopule ili pomoćnog glagola u tvorbi progresivnog glagolskog vida. Odabrani teorijski okvir za analizu tih leksema postavke su kognitivne lingvistike prema kojima značenje leksema nije proizvoljno, već duboko motivirano i utemeljeno u tjelesnom iskustvu i našem enciklopedijskom znanju (Lakoff 1987, Johnson 1987). Rezultati analize uporabe glagola stajati, sjediti i ležati u korpusima Riznica i hrWaC pokazali su da su sekundarna značenja tih glagola, kao i u ostalim jezicima, motivirana tjelesnim iskustvom te da proizlaze iz predodžbenih shema kao što su sheme vertikalnost, horizontalnost, otpor, ljestvica, potpora, spremnik, kontakt itd. Hrvatski jezik razvio je i neka značenja koja nisu zabilježena u drugim opisanim jezicima, primjerice uporabu glagola stajati za uobičajeno mjesto nekog predmeta ili za označavanje cijene nekog proizvoda.

Introduction: There are limited epidemiological reports of Kawasaki disease (KD) in Latin America. Objective: To describe the characteristics, seasonality, and trend of hospitalizations for KD in children. Methods: Descriptive study of secondary analysis was performed with data on hospitalizations due to KD from healthcare institutions from Peru, 2015-2019. Results: Two hundred ninety-seven hospitalizations were registered. 59.9% were male. 82.2% were under five years old, and 16.2% were under one year old. The departments with more hospitalizations were Lima (202 cases), Lambayeque (21 cases), and Piura (17 cases). The seasons of the year with more hospitalizations were winter and spring. The incidence of KD increased from 0.52 to 2.28 cases per 100,000 children under five years old between 2015 and 2019. Conclusions: There was an increase in hospitalizations due to KD, more frequent in children under five years of age and males, and it occurred in all seasons.
