Inconsistent generalisation of structured knowledge between 2-dimensional conceptual spaces
Authors: Bokeria Levan , Henson Richard
Published: June 2022

Recent experimental and theoretical work has supported geometric theories of conceptual representation, where concepts are defined as regions in an abstract n-dimensional space, with each dimension specifying a certain characteristic. A key question in cognitive neuroscience concerns the generalisation of information between such concepts, i.e., how existing domains of conceptual knowledge can accelerate learning of new ones. To understand this phenomenon, an experimental paradigm is needed that would allow careful and systematic manipulation of stimuli and task characteristics.We developed an online paradigm for capturing generalisation between concepts. Participants successively learned two new 2-dimensional concepts: birds defined by the size of their neck and legs and birds defined by the size of their beak and tail. The participants learned that specific exemplars of each concept were associated with arbitrary target stimuli, forming paired-associates which served as “landmarks” in the corresponding 2D conceptual spaces. Crucially, for one group of participants, the (congruent) geometric arrangement of paired-associates was identical between the two bird-spaces, whereas for another (incongruent), it was maximally different. We predicted that in the congruent group, the shared geometric arrangement of paired-associates across the conceptual spaces would accelerate learning for the second bird-space.We preregistered a Bayesian sequential analysis to examine relative support for the null or the alternative hypothesis. Across two experiments, only groups starting with certain arrangement of paired-associates showed behavior consistent with generalisation. This interaction is potentially explained by stimulus characteristics of one of the bird-exemplars leading to ceiling effects. We suggest the use of a different stimulus set and argue for the importance of developing a fast and a reliable paradigm for studying generalisation across conceptual spaces.

PurposeThe aim of this article is to present the application value of a diagnostic toolkit for assessment of cognitive functions based on a proprietary Multidimensional Model of Cognitive Functioning which combines executive functions with the field of perception, language, and communication.
ThesesThe developed tools assess the level of executive functions (attention control, working memory, cognitive flexibility, and reasoning), the speed of perceptual processes, as well as linguistic functions in terms of speech- and writing-based communication.
ConclusionsAll tasks have been prepared in a computer-based version. The innovativeness of the proposed battery of tests stems from the fact that the adopted model creates a coherent theoretical framework for the entire spectrum of functions describing the effectiveness of cognitive processing in people of different ages and varying educational needs. In the context of the tools available in psychological and pedagogical counselling centres, this technically advanced tool will be the first test available on the Polish market covering such a broad spectrum of cognitive functions. The tool has been designed to enable the diagnosis of diverse groups of people with special educational needs – from gifted children, through people with intellectual disabilities, visual and hearing impairments, neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g. autism), and language disorders and dyslexia, to migrant children. This broad scope of application was made possible by implementing the WCAG 2.1 and universal design principles.

Applications of psychological knowledge: Five theses and an example
Authors: Cieciuch Jan
Published: June 2022

ObjectiveThe objective of the paper is to analyze problems with applications in psychology, reflect on their origins, and seek ways of overcoming them. The presented theses are illustrated with an application example: the use of the Circumplex of Personality Metatraits for the comprehensive diagnosis of the personality and the emotional and social functioning of children and adolescents. This application project involved the development of an extensive theoretical model as well as tools for testing a total of 36 variables at different stages of human development in individuals ranging from one to 25 years old. Post-diagnostic materials for profiled interventions were also designed.
ThesisThesis 1: A negative approach to applications is driven by the topos of the scholar as an observer and truth-seeker (Pythagorean legacy).Thesis 2: A positive approach to applications has been inherent in science from the very beginning (Platonic and Aristotelian legacy).Thesis 3: Today’s problem with the application horizon of science is attributable to advanced scientific specialization (Pythagorean justification).Thesis 4: An application-oriented criterion for selecting research problems poses the risk of obtaining fragmentary answers (the scholar’s mind as Milton’s/Selfridge’s pandemonium).Thesis 5: What is needed to maximize the scholars’ potential for applications is a new function: that of an agent-manager (just as in the case of artists).
ConclusionsScience and applications synchronized in the Aristotelian rather than Pythagorean spirit may bring about substantial scientific as well as practical benefits. The possibility of such a synchronization is indicated by cases of successful applications; however, systemic change is needed for them to become the rule rather than the exception.

Authors: ÖZTÜRK Nuran
Published: June 2022

Kayserili Ahmet Remzi (Akyürek) Bir “Mevlevî Dede”sidir. Yaşadığı dönem itibarıyla Osmanlı Devleti’nin sonuna ve Cumhuriyet’in ilk 20 yılına tanıklık etmiştir. Bu yüzden onun hayat hikâyesi ve şiirleri, hem edebiyat ve kültür tarihi hem de yakın dönemin sosyal ve siyasî tarihi açısından önemlidir. Taşıdığı Osmanlı bakiyesi vasıflarının pek çoğunu Cumhuriyet döneminde devam ettirememek durumunda kalmıştır. Geçiş döneminin uyum ve sancılarını yaşayan bu zatın gelecek nesiller için canlı bir tarih portresi olarak aktarılmasının yararlı olacağı varsayılmış ve bu yazı kaleme alınmıştır.

Ahmet Remzi Dede’nin hayatına ilişkin bilgilerin önemli bir kısmı biyografik kaynaklarda yahut hakkında yapılan günümüze kadarki çeşitli yayınlarda farklılık göstermektedir. Söz konusu bilgi farklılıkları, şiirleri ile karşılaştırılmış ve bir tenkit süzgecinden geçirilerek aktarılmıştır. Ahmet Remzi Dede’nin hayatı hakkındaki bilgiler ailesi, eğitimi, memuriyetleri alt başlıkları ile ele alınmış; tasavvufî ve edebî yönü ise mutasavvıf kimliği, siyasetle ilişkisi ve edebî kimliği başlıkları altında değerlendirilmiştir. Daha önce yazılanlardan istifade edilmekle birlikte, Şairliği başlığı altında şiirlerinden seçilen örnekler üzerinden daha önce bahsedilmeyen hususlara da değinilmiştir. Fakat bu çalışmayı asıl özgün kılacak olan, Ahmet Remzi Dede’nin “ara/köprü nesil” denilebilecek yönünün belirlenmeye çalışılmasıdır.

Authors: Lerchbaumer Markus Herbert , Fischer Thomas , Uluk Deniz , Friedersdorff Frank , Hamm Bernd , Spiesecke Paul
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: B-Mode and Doppler ultrasound are standard diagnostic techniques for early postoperative monitoring and long-term follow-up of kidney transplants. In certain cases, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is used to clarify unclear Doppler findings. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the diagnostic performance of CEUS in the workup of renal allograft pathologies. METHODS: A systematic search for CEUS examinations of renal transplants conducted in our department between 2008 and 2020 was performed using the following inclusion criteria: i) patient age ≥18 years and ii) confirmation of diagnosis by biopsy and histopathology, imaging follow-up by CEUS, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (ceCT), contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (ceMRI), or angiography, or intraoperative findings. Exclusion criteria were: i) CEUS performed in the setting of a study and ii) CEUS for other indications than dedicated renal transplant examination. Statistical analysis was performed separately for subgroups with different indications (focal vs non-focal). RESULTS: Overall, 78 patients were included in the statistical analysis, which revealed high sensitivity (92.2%, 95% -confidence interval [CI] 81.5–96.9%) and high specificity (88.9%, 95% -CI 71.9–96.1%) of CEUS. CONCLUSIONS: The high diagnostic performance demonstrated here and the superficial location of kidney allografts advocate the additional use of CEUS in the follow-up of renal transplant recipients.

The liver is one of the most frequent metastatic sites of breast cancer with a relatively poor prognosis. Systemic chemotherapy is an effective treatment but the efficacy is different between the subtypes of breast cancer. Percutaneous thermal ablation is considered to be a minimally invasive and effective local treatment for breast cancer liver metastases (BCLM). This case report described a patient with BCLM who adopted a strategy of systemic chemotherapy and repeated ultrasound (US) -guided percutaneous thermal ablation procedures. The survival time already reached 8 years till now with the metastases well-controlled and acceptable life quality was achieved.

Published: June 2022

Biliary cystadenocarcinoma (BCAC) is an extremely rare intrahepatic cystic tumor. Patients usually present with nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain, abdominal distention, and abdominal mass. This tumor occurs most commonly in the left hemiliver and is thought to mainly develop from a benign biliary cystadenoma (BCA). At present, the disease is mainly diagnosed by ultrasound, CT, MR, and other imaging methods, and the main treatment is radical surgical resection. We reported a 75-year-old female with an unresectable huge BCAC (i.e., 161×145×122 mm in three orthogonal directions) and poor general condition (40 in Karnofsky Performance Status, KPS) who received sequential thermal ablation (i.e., cryoablation and microwave ablation) in combination with sclerotherapy using lauromacrogol. The diagnosis of intrahepatic BCAC was confirmed pathologically. Preablation grayscale US showed the BCAC with a clear boundary, regular shape, and cystic-solid mixed echogenicity, which appeared as a huge multilocular cystic lesions with thick internal sepatations. Preablation contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) showed honeycomb-like hyper-enhancement of the thick internal sepatations and cystic wall in the arterial and portal phase, and sustained enhancement of the thick internal sepatations and cystic wall in the late phase. 6-month postablation CEUS showed non-enhancement in most parts of the lesion in the arterial phase and 6-month postablation MRI showed the volume reduction ratio (VRR) was about 70%. The abdominal pain and abdominal distension were relieved remarkably, and her quality of life was greatly improved (70 in KPS). In conclusion, sequential thermal ablation in combination with sclerotherapy provides a successful translative therapy for this unresectable huge BCAC with a poor general condition, which makes subsequent curative surgery or ablation possible.
A Question of Trust: Building a Reparative Legal Regime in the Face of Climate-Induced Migration
Authors: Junker Kirk W. , Münster Saskia , Shinde Mrinalini
Published: June 2022

We are already witnessing climate-induced migration and thus must prepare to address the next decades of even more human mobility as a consequence of the climate disruption crisis. Fifty years after the Stockholm Conference, international environmental law still needs solutions to protect those persons most vulnerable to environmental harm. This paper seeks to focus on the concept of reparative justice as the theme and attitude of legal solutions, so as to refocus legal tools to provide relief to those persons who are displaced and dispossessed because of the climate disruption crisis. In this paper, we present possibilities for a reparative climate justice regime that could help to break the current cycle of harm and denial in which states are currently embroiled within international climate negotiations. This focus considers how careful solutions such as credit within the financial mechanisms under the Paris Agreement, in a spirit of trust and solidarity, could contribute to legal solutions to climate migration problems. The paper first iterates the scope and history of climate-induced migration in international law and then presents the case for reparations as a strong legal response to climate-induced migration, before finally exploring the legal avenues within international climate law wherein reparative justice and financing could potentially operate.
Factoring Climate Change Risks in the Wetland Ecosystems Governance: A Policy Look Ahead+
Authors: Nayak Shailesh
Published: June 2022

Wetland ecosystems, freshwater, coastal and coral reefs, are important ecosystems as they provide many ecological services and ensure livelihood of people. The increase in carbon dioxide and global temperatures change in precipitation patterns, and acidification of oceans can adversely affect these ecosystems. It is expected that increase in temperature in lakes, reservoirs and coastal seas will affect flora, fauna and fisheries. The increase in sea level can erode shorelines and coastal habitats. Coral reefs can degrade due to increase in temperature, sea level rise and acidification. The ecological services provided by these ecosystems have economic value and thus any loss of these habitats can affect livelihood of communities. The global watershed and coastal management approaches such as the 1971 Ramsar Convention and 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide key tools to protect these ecosystems. A robust global wetland information repository system needs to be developed for providing necessary data to effectively model climate change impacts at local and regional levels. The knowledge about climate risks to wetlands, integrated with effective governance at national, regional and global levels along with informed people, are key elements for protection and sustainable future of wetlands. It is in this global context and decisions of the successive Ramsar Conference of Parties (COP), within the limits of time and space, this study has sought to examine the climatic risks to the wetland’s ecosystems. The data and the situation in the Indian sub-continent have been used as an example for the purpose. We need to look for concrete ideas and solutions to address the challenge of climate change risks to the wetland ecosystem at the juncture of Stockholm+50 (2022) and beyond.
An automated steel plates fault diagnosis system using adaptive faster region convolutional neural network
Authors: Elanangai V. , Vasanth K.
Published: June 2022

In today’s world, Steel plates play essential materials for various industries like the national defense industry, chemical industry, automobile industry, machinery manufacturing, etc. However, some defects may occur in a few plates during the manufacture of stainless-steel plates which directly impact the quality of the stainless-steel plate. If the faulted plate detection can be done manually, then it leads to errors and a time-consuming process. Hence, a computerized automated system is necessary to detect the abnormalities. In this paper, a novel Adaptive Faster Region Convolutional Neural Networks (AFRCNN) scheme has been proposed for automatic fault detection of stainless-steel plates. The proposed AFRCNN scheme comprises three phases: identification, detection, and recognition. Primarily, the damaged plates are identified using Region Proposal Network and Fully Convolutional Neural Network functioning as a combined process under AFRCNN. In the next phase, the number corresponding to the particular plate is recognized through the standard Automated Plate Number Recognition approach with the support of the character recognition technique. The simulation results manifest that the proposed AFRCNN scheme obtains a superior classification accuracy of 99.36%, specificity of 99.24%, and F1-score of 98.18% as compared with the existing state-of-the-art schemes.
Soft connectivity and soft θ-connectivity relative to a soft topological space
Authors: Al Ghour Samer
Published: June 2022

Let (Y, σ, B) be a soft topological space. We introduce two new classes of soft subsets of (Y, σ, B): soft connectedness relative to (Y, σ, B) and soft θ-connectedness relative to (Y, σ, B). We show that the class of soft connected subsets relative to (Y, σ, B) includes the class of soft θ-connected subsets relative to (Y, σ, B), but that these two classes do not always coincide. However, they coincide when (Y, σ, B) is soft regular. We have provided several properties for each of these classes of soft sets. As two main results, we prove that for a given soft function fpu : (Y, σ, B) ⟶ (Y, σ, B) and a soft subset H of (Y, σ, B), the soft set fpu (H) is θ-connected relative to (Y, σ, B) if (fpu is soft weakly continuous and H is connected relative to (Y, σ, B)) or (fpu is soft θ-continuous and H is θ-connected relative to (Y, σ, B)). Also, we investigate the correspondence between our new concepts in a soft topological space and their corresponding topological spaces properties. Moreover, we provide some examples to illustrate the obtained results and relationships.

Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: The intelligent diagnosis of thyroid nodules in ultrasound image is an important research issue. Automatically locating the region of interest (ROI) of thyroid nodules and providing pre-diagnosis results can help doctors to diagnose faster and more accurate. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to propose a model, which can detect multiple nodules stably and accurately in order to avoid missed detection and misjudgment. In addition, the detection speed of the model needs to be fast for real-time diagnosis in ultrasound images. METHODS: Based on the object detection technology, we propose an accurate, robust and high-speed network with multiscale fusion strategy called Efficient-YOLO, which can realize the localization and recognition of nodules at the same time. Finally, multiple metrics are used to measure the diagnostic ability of the model. RESULTS: Experimental results conducted on 3,562 ultrasound images show that our new model greatly increases the accuracy and speed of the detection compared with the baseline model. The best mAP is 92.64%, and the fastest detection speed is 45.1 frames per second. CONCLUSIONS: This study proposed an effective method to diagnosis thyroid nodules automatically, which can meet the real-time requirements, indicating that its effectiveness and feasibility for future clinical application.
A Review of Prosody, Punctuation, and Dyslexia: Implications for the Use of Speech Technologies
Authors: Triantafyllidou Chara
Published: June 2022

Multiple studies and observations have shown that dyslexic students tend to omit punctuation from their writing, but the roots of this difficulty remain largely unexplored. However, there is a significant body of research on prosodic processing in dyslexia, which is relevant to punctuation as a form of written prosody. The aim of this review paper is to outline the relationship between oral prosody, written prosody, and dyslexia by discussing recent neurocognitive findings on prosodic processing and dyslexia. On the basis of the relevant literature regarding prosodic awareness and auditory processing, it describes the implications of these findings for prosodic training in dyslexia and the use of speech technologies. This includes practical implications for the use of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) tools in language teaching. Finally, the paper concludes by summarising potential research questions for future research on dyslexia on the basis of the gaps identified in the previously cited literature.

Identification of Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, Poison Sumac, and Poisonwood
Authors: Park Brown Sydney , Sewards Joe , Grace Patricia , Lowe Sherrie
Published: June 2022

Florida parks and woodlands are favorite places for many people who enjoy outdoor activities. Unfortunately, the native plants poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and poisonwood can make these outings a miserable experience. All four contain urushiol, a plant oil that can cause a severe skin rash (dermatitis) when any part of the plant is contacted. Allergic reaction can occur directly by touching the plant or indirectly by coming into contact with the oil on animals, tools, clothes, shoes, or other items. Even the smoke from burning plants contains oil particles that can be inhaled and cause lung irritation. This revised 6-page fact sheet helps individuals learn to identify these plants in order to avoid contact with them. Children should be taught to recognize these plants, particularly poison ivy, as it is by far the most common.

Published: June 2022

When we use chemical insecticides to eliminate problem insects, we discover that the effects of insecticides are not always limited to these 6-legged targets. Wildlife, pets, and humans also can be affected by insecticides. So, one of the great challenges confronting humans is to develop ways to manage insects without affecting non-target organisms.

Published: June 2022

Citrus yellow mosaic is an important viral disease in India, where it causes significant yield reduction. In some groves, infection rate may be as high as 70%. CYMV induces a bright yellow mottling or vein flecking that persists in mature leaves. Yields are sharply reduced in chronically infected 'Sathgudi' sweet orange trees in India, and fruit may also show mosaic symptoms. This 2-page fact sheet was written by K.-R. Chung and R. H.

Locke’un Doğuştan İdeler Eleştirisinin Politik Bağlamı Üzerine Bir Tartışma
Authors: KAÇAR Erman
Published: June 2022

Bu çalışmanın amacı, John Locke’un siyaset kuramında kamusal ve özel alanın inşasında kullanılan doğa yasası, doğa durumu, sözleşme ve mülkiyet gibi temel kavramların epistemolojik dayanaklarının araştırılmasıdır. John Locke, diğer sözleşmeci teorisyenlerden farklı olarak ortaya koyduğu siyaset teorisinin temel argümanlarını, Kartezyen felsefenin temel ilkeleriyle hesaplaşmak suretiyle geliştirdiği kendi bilgi kuramıyla test ederek temellendirir. Locke’a göre insan zihninde doğuştan verili ya da insan zihnine doğuştan mühürlenmiş birtakım ideler olduğu yönündeki Descartesçı sav, bir siyasi toplumdaki yasa koyucuların söz konusu doğuştan idelerin varlığı düşüncesinden hareketle iktidarlarını kendi siyasi menfaatleri doğrultusunda meşrulaştırabilmelerine olanak sağlayacaktır. Locke’a göre bunun başlıca sebebi, doğuştan ideler düşüncesinin nihayetinde bir inanç olarak karşımıza çıkması ve bu düşünceye inanan kişileri ya da toplulukları yönetmenin, onlara güç uygulamanın kolaylaşmasıdır. Buna karşılık John Locke’un amacı, geliştirdiği epistemolojik çerçeveden hareketle doğa yasasından toplum sözleşmesine, siyasal toplumdan mülkiyet kavramına kadar bütün bir siyaset teorisini insan anlığının işleyişine uygun bir izleğe yerleştirmek ve yukarıda sözü edilen problemleri ortadan kaldırmaktır. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın birinci bölümünde doğa yasası kavramının bilgi kuramsal dayanakları, Locke’un doğuştan ideler eleştirisi bağlamında ele alınacak; ikinci bölümde doğa yasasının bireysel olarak yürütülmesindeki olası pratik sorunlar gösterilecektir. Üçüncü ve son bölümde ise sözleşme, siyasal toplum ve mülkiyet gibi kavramlar, Locke’un epistemolojik çözümlemeleri ile yan yana getirilerek incelenecektir. Buradan hareketle, Locke’un siyaset felsefesinin temel kavramları olarak ifade edebileceğimiz doğa durumu, doğa yasası, sözleşme ve mülkiyet üzerine düşünceleri ile Locke’un doğuştan ideler eleştirisi üzerinden şeylerin bilgisinin olanağı ve insan zihninin işleyişi konusunda geliştirdiği özgün bilgi kuramı arasında gerçek anlamda bir tutarlılık olup olmadığı araştırılacaktır.

the purpose of our research is: to determine psychological characteristics of using video­phonograms in teaching pupils foreign languages at secondary schools; to build a model of educational process with using video­phonograms; to show the characteristics and tasks of each sub­cycle of a video­phonogram; to describe this model in the stage of its experimental verification.methods of the research. The following theoretical methods of the research were used to solve the tasks formulated in the article: a categorical method, structural and functional methods, the methods of the analysis, systematization, modeling, generalization. The experimental methods are observation and analy-sis. The participants of our research were 45 pupils of the 7th­B form of school No15 of Rivne (Ukraine). The experiment lasted during 2020­2021 years.the results of the research. Based on the theory of a dialogue in a para-digm of Secondary Predication (Mykhalchuk & Ivashkevych, 2019), we define the following main characteristics of the concept of “a dialogic text” which is the basis of video­phonograms in teaching teenagers the foreign languages at se­condary schools: 1) an attempt to include the listener into a joint search with the author of the truth, focus on the reflection and thinking; 2) the author’s desire to make direct contact with a listener, which is expressed in the variability of the material for analysis and understanding, the possibility of providing a creative approach to understanding the content, because only personal involvement of the listener makes the text a work of art.conclusions. It is emphasized that any video­phonogram has a triple mean-ing: 1) a primary or common meaning; 2) a secondary one – which arises due to the syntagmatic reorganization of the text and the opposition of the primary units; 3) tertiary meaning, which is based on non­textual associations of diffe­rent levels – from the most general to purely personal, authorial ones (they are fixed at the level of authorial paradigms or the author’s dictionary). Therefore, we define the text of a video­phonogram as an extremely com-plex phenomenon, which emphasizes the impossibility of comprehensive deli­neation of textual parameters, all components of its content. This, in turn, some-what prevents the listener from fully understanding the richness and diversity of the meaning of a video­phonogram. It was proved that the semantic structure of the text changed from a reader to reader. And nothing is able, even the develop-ment of science, to stop the movement of the text, to master all its semantic rich-ness, because the text is infinitely open to infinity, and the constants of individual style create the openness of the video­phonogram, the possibility of a listener entering the process of dialogical quasi­communication with the text.

The purpose of our research is to develop the problem of stuttering in the psychological aspect to reveal its genesis, to understand the behavior of people who stutter in the process of communication, to identify their individual psycho-logical characteristics.research methods. The research methods were the method of observation and the empirical study of patients. The place of organizing the empirical stage of our research was the psychiatric hospital No 1 in Kyiv. With the help of clinical, pathopsychological and anamnestic methods 86 children at the age 3­12 years old (the average age is 8 ± 0.5 years old) with logoneurosis in anamnesis were diagnosed.the results of the research. The pathogenesis of stuttering is studied and those who stuttered are noted to have various autonomic changes. 84% of peo-ple who stuttered are considered to have autonomic dystonia. Among 98% of people who suffered from logoneurosis, 20% had a high intracranial pressure and extrapyramidal disorders. It is studied that those people who stuttered were born with vasoneurotics. It was quite objectively showed a change in the neu-rovegetative response in those ones who stuttered during seizures: in 100% of cases there was dilation of the pupils (mydriasis), while in a case of people who spoke correctly, the width of the pupils during speech did not change or there was some narrowing (miosis).conclusions. The reasons of logoneurosis are: neuropathic burden of par-ents (nervous, infectious and somatic diseases that weaken or disrupt the func-tions of the central nervous system); neuropathic features of a stuttering person (night terrors, enuresis, irritability, emotional tension); constitutional predisposi-tion (diseases of the autonomic nervous system and increased susceptibility to higher nervous activity, its special predisposition to mental trauma); hereditary burden; brain damage in different periods of the personal development.
