A Comparative Study of English-Arabic-English Translation Constraints among EFL Students
Authors: Akki Fouad , Larouz Mohammed
Published: August 2021

Because most of the previous research on translation constraints in English-Arabic-English translation has separately investigated English-Arabic and Arabic-English translation problems, the current study is meant to compare the constraints that EFL students face across the two translation types. To attain this objective, English-Arabic and Arabic-English tests were administered to forty-seven (N= 47) EFL students in two Moroccan university educational settings to measure their abilities in the two translation domains. The results reveal that the participants' scores in both versions are not at the expected ability level due to the obstacles they encounter in the translation process. The study also shows that having a good ability in the English-Arabic version cannot strongly predict a similar good ability in Arabic-English translation because of the different natures of the two languages, which suggests taking more care of the student’s proficiency in English and Arabic languages and exposing students to their distinctive aspects for the sake of coming up with accurate and appropriate translations. The study ends with implications for pedagogy and recommendations for future researchers.

Published: August 2021

From 2017 to 2020 an extensive monitoring for bacterial and viral yellowing diseases was carried out in southern and central Germany. The monitoring recorded for the first time the infestation of sugar beets with yellowing viruses and the disease „Syndrome Basses Richesses“ (SBR). To map the yellowing virus infestation, samples were examined for the presence of several virus species (BYV, BtMV, poleroviruses). The disease SBR was investigated in this study using the more common γ-3 proteobacterium “Candidatus Arsenophonus phytopathogenicus”. In this study samples were chosen, which showed yellowing symptoms. The coordination of the sampling was carried out by the Association of Hessian-Palatinate Sugar Beet Growers. Results clearly show the extent of the heavily infested area from SBR to southern Hesse, Rhine-Hesse and Franconia. The spread of SBR can be explained by the migration of the leafhopper Pentastiridius leporinus. Furthermore, the regional and parallel spread of mixed infections of both yellowing diseases was shown for the first time, which probably contributed to the strong sugar yield losses observed in practice. Causes and effects of mixed infections of both yellowing diseases require further research. Over the four-year study period, a continuous increase in SBR infections was observed. Therefore, the need for development of appropriate management systems to control SBR is very high.

Der Andere in der Bukowina, zwischen Kolonialrhetorik und interkultureller Perspektive: der Fall des Autor-Herausgebers Ludwig Adolf Staufe Simiginowicz
Authors: Fanetti Giulia
Published: August 2021

Die geistige und literarische Strömung, die als Postkolonialismus bezeichnet wird, gestaltet sich als eine Folge der ab den Siebzigern erschienenen Texte Edward Saids1, die wesentlich auf die westlichen Standpunkte einwirkten, und die bereits die Grundthese zukünftiger
Studien formulierten: als Folge jahrhundertlanger unausgeglichener Machtverhältnisse habe der Westen den Osten erschaffen. ,,The West is the spectator, the judge and jury, of every facet of Oriental behavior”2, und das Urteil entspricht der Definition vom Orientalischen
selbst, die auf westlichen Kategorien beruht und sich an bestimmten Stereotypen orientiert. Die grundlegende Basis dieses Prozesses ist das, was auch die Matrix des Kolonialismus darstellt, d.h. die Vergegenständlichung des Menschen, die Reifikation des Subjekts, aus dem ein zu beherrschendes,
auszubeutendes und wissenschaftlichen Forschungen zu unterziehendes Objekt wird3. Die kolonialistische Intention bewegt sich von der Kenntnis des Anderen zu seiner Beherrschung fort: das wird durch Militäraktionen, politische Maßnahmen und natürlich auch durch die
Kulturpolitik erreicht, um Macht über das kollektive Bewusstsein und das kulturelle Gedächtnis zu erobern, außer Boden und Ressourcen. Dazu ist die Alphabetisierung in den jeweils eigenen Sprachen das wirksamste Mittel, weil sie sich tatsächlich als kulturelle Alphabetisierung
erweisen kann: sie lässt ein Herrschaftsverhältnis der Kolonistenkultur über die autochthonen Kulturen entstehen, wobei die letzteren erdrückt und in eine folkloristische Dimension gedrängt werden. Angesichts dieser jahrhundertelangen Usurpation benehmen sich die postkolonialen
Forscher wie Archäologen bzw. Detektive, indem sie zum Schweigen gebrachten Stimmen von gestern und heute nachgehen und erforschen.

Student perceptions after touching vs. holding educational animals
Authors: Gilmer Lauryn , Fuhrman Nick
Published: August 2021

Educators often use reptiles as ambassadors of environmental messages during presentations because of their ease of transport and handling. Although learners may be provided opportunities to touch or hold these animals, this presents a variety of safety and liability issues for the learner and animal. Little is known about whether touching or holding an animal influences perceptions of the animal and related environmental issues. This qualitative study investigated the perceptions of 16 fifth grade students who experienced a live, tactile encounter with a corn snake and Eastern box turtle while participating in an educational class using four focus groups. Regardless of whether students touched the snake or turtle, or fully held the animal, participants noted the uniqueness of the experience and their empathy for the animal and its habitat. Students who fully held the animal thought that they learned more during the experience while students who touched the animal mentioned getting to know the animal better, regardless of whether the animal was a snake or turtle. When learners are unable to completely hold a snake or turtle, educators should consider the equally positive outcomes that can result from touching these animals with two fingers and provide opportunities for such experiences.

Insights into the crystal chemistry of the serandite–schizolite–pectolite series
Authors: Lussier Aaron J. , Grice Joel D. , Friis Henrik , Poirier Glenn G.
Published: August 2021

The compositional series {Na} [[M1+M2](Ca2XMn2–2X)Si3O8(OH)] includes the minerals serandite (X = 0), schizolite (X = 0.5), and pectolite (X = 1). Six crystals are structurally and chemically characterized in detail (four from Ilímaussaq, Greenland; two from Mont Saint-Hilaire, Québec, Canada): one serandite, one pectolite, and four schizolite crystals. Those originating from Greenland show up to 0.05 apfu LREE3+ (La + Ce + Pr + Nd + Eu + Gd). For each, all H atoms were located, and final R1 factors were below 4.4% ( = 2.35%). The results are compared with previously published crystal structure data from an additional 16 samples, originating from worldwide (mostly) igneous environments. Across the series, for all investigated samples, Ca and Mn order preferentially at the octahedral M1 and M2 sites, respectively, following the exchange M2Ca + M1Mn ↔ M1Ca + M2Mn. Site-occupancies closely adhere to a two-site distribution coefficient, calculated here to be K = 20.0(5), for ideal mixing where activity coefficients approach unity. For the above order-disorder exchange, ΔHex is calculated to be –1.77 kcal. With knowledge of K, site assignment and species determination may be accurately made solely with compositional data, where 0 ≤ ΣCa < 0.55 apfu, serandite; 0.55 ≤ ΣCa < 1.45 apfu, schizolite; and 1.45 ≤ ΣCa ≤ 2 apfu, pectolite, with the dominant-constituent rule mandating M1Ca < M1Mn (M2Ca < M2Mn), serandite; M1Ca > M1Mn (M2Ca < M2Mn), schizolite; and M1Ca > M1Mn (M2Ca > M2Mn), pectolite. Polyhedral distortion and structural strain at the M1 and M2 sites, calculated using the equations of Robinson et al. (1971) and solutions to Kirchhoff network equations, respectively, show a predictable, cooperative variation across the entire compositional series; however, prominent discontinuities in distortion and strain behavior are observed for the schizolite composition.

Generation of nordmarkitic melts by melting of basement gneisses: the Astrophyllite Bay complex, Kangerdlugssuaq
Authors: Nielsen Troels F. D. , Brooks C. Kent
Published: August 2021

Acid-basic net-veined or pillowed dykes and intrusive bodies are small but important components in the felsic complexes of the Tertiary magmatic province in East Greenland. In Astrophyllite bay in the Snout Series syenite intrusion at the margin of the Kangerdlugssuaq syenite intrusion basic trachyandesite melis invade and melt the host of Archaean granitic gneisses. Pillows of trachyandesite are chilled to the surrounding felsic anatectic melt. Tue felsic melt is not granitic but syenitic in composition. Element distributions between the chilled basic and felsic melts suggest that the anatectic melt was transformed to a syenitic composition by diffusion between the two contacting melts.
Elongated hills near Schonhorst, Schleswig ­Holstein: Drumlins or terminal push-moraines?
Authors: Piotrowski J. A. , Vahldiek J.
Published: August 2021

Examination of bore-holes, test pitting and surficial mapping of one hill belonging to the group of smooth, elongated hills by Sch6nhorst, Schleswig-Holstein reveals three geological units: the lower, fine-grained, massive and compact till; the glaciofluvial sand; and the upper, coarse-grained, compact till with minute stringers and lenses of sand and silt. The sequence is strongly glaciotectonically disturbed. A detailed analysis of thin sections of the till micro-fabric, and of radiographs from undisturbed, oriented cores shows a relatively strong NE-SW and NW-SE particle orientation in the lower till and a weakly clustered to random orientation in the upper till.
It is suggested that the field represents either drumlins (the more favourable hypothesis) or terminal push-moraines, formed during the first three ice advances of the Weichselian Glaciation.
Comparison of organic geochemical and palynofacies methods: Example from the Upper Triassic Gassum Formation in Denmark
Authors: Buchardt Bjørn , Nielsen Marianne Vasard
Published: August 2021

Copenhagen, February 19th, 1991.
Disseminated organic matter from the · Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Gassum Formation in the Gassum-1 deep well has been analyzed by palynological and organic geochemical methods. Tue paper compares the effects of the different preparation methods on the organic matter. The kerogen isolation process (demineralisation by HF) is found to cause major changes in the Rock-Eva! parameters, but not in carbon isotope composition of organic matter. Tm.,- and HI-values determined from kerogen concentrates are more consistent with the palynofacies data than those determined from whole rock samples. The differences are ascribed to analytical problems when dealing with low-TOC whole rock samples. Palynofa­cies data obtained from unfiltered and filtered kerogen concentrates demonstrate a variable loss of amorphous organic matter during filtration ( up to 1()()%). Other palynomorph distributions are not seriously affected by filtration. The loss in amorphous organic matter has no influence on the Rock-Eva! data and carbon isotope composition. Comparison of polynofacies and carbon isotope data identifies three organic matter sources with characteristic isotopic composition.
DieTryin: An R package for data collection, automated data entry, and post-processing of network-structured economic games, social networks, and other roster-based dyadic data
Authors: Ross Cody T. , Redhead Daniel
Published: August 2021

Researchers studying social networks and inter-personal sentiments in bounded or small-scale communities face a trade-off between the use of roster-based and free-recall/name-generator-based survey tools. Roster-based methods scale poorly with sample size, and can more easily lead to respondent fatigue; however, they generally yield higher quality data that are less susceptible to recall bias and that require less post-processing. Name-generator-based methods, in contrast, scale well with sample size and are less likely to lead to respondent fatigue. However, they may be more sensitive to recall bias, and they entail a large amount of highly error-prone post-processing after data collection in order to link elicited names to unique identifiers. Here, we introduce an R package, DieTryin, that allows for roster-based dyadic data to be collected and entered as rapidly as name-generator-based data; DieTryin can be used to run network-structured economic games, as well as collect and process standard social network data and round-robin Likert-scale peer ratings. DieTryin automates photograph standardization, survey tool compilation, and data entry. We present a complete methodological workflow using DieTryin to teach end-users its full functionality.

Published: August 2021

Timed picture naming is a common psycholinguistic paradigm. In this task, participants are asked to label visually depicted objects or actions. Naming performance can be influenced by several picture and verb characteristics which demands fully characterized normative data. In this study, we provide a first German normative data set of picture and verb characteristics associated with a compilation of 283 freely available action pictures and 600 action verbs including naming latencies from 55 participants. We report standard measures for pictures and verbs such as name agreement indices, visual complexity, word frequency, word length, imageability and age of acquisition. In addition, we include less common parameters, such as orthographic Levenshtein distance, transitivity, reflexivity, morphological complexity, and motor content of the pictures and their associated verbs. We use repeated measures correlations in order to investigate associations between picture and word characteristics and linear mixed effects modeling for the prediction of naming latency. Our analyses reveal comparable results to previous studies in other languages, indicating high construct validity. We found that naming latency varied as a function of entropy of responses, word frequency and motor content of pictures and words. In summary, we provide first German normative data for action pictures and their associated verbs and identify variables influencing naming latency.

Falls in old and senile age is one of the main geriatric syndromes that determine the prognosis of a patient's life and autonomy, regardless of the consequences. According to experts, 33% of people 65 years of age and older have a history of falls, with 50% of them falling more than once a year. The prevalence of falls depends on the environment of older person: falls rate is more than 10 times higher for older people in nursing homes and hospitals than in those living at home. For people 65 years of age and older, falls is the most common cause of injury and the leading cause of death due to traumatic injury. Falls are closely related to other geriatric syndromes. It is important to understand that falls are preventable. Falls prevention is an integral part management of older and senile patients management.
Contemporary view of medical care of the elderly people with proximal femur fractures
Authors: Belov M. V. , Belova K. Yu.
Published: August 2021

Fractures of the proximal femur are a severe, life-threatening injury with enormous social, medical and economic consequences. Even with a well-organized system of medical care, up to 12-17% of patients die within the first year after injury, and the long-term risk of death doubles. Specially designed population-based studies in the Russian Federation have shown a high incidence of hip fractures in patients at the age of 50 and older. However, there is currently no unified system of medical care organization for all regions of Russia, which allows hospitalization and operation of patients with hip fractures during the first hours after trauma. Hip fracture in an elderly person is an absolute indication for the hospitalization. However most patients have severe comorbidities, osteoporosis, an increased risk of falls and mortality because of any reason. The main surgical treatments for hip fractures include osteosynthesis of the fracture or hip arthroplasty. It is well known that after the occurrence of any fragility fracture the risk of subsequent fractures increases by 2-3 times. To ensure the continuity of patient management, provide prescription of anti-osteoporotic drugs and long-term follow-up of patients it is necessary to manage them within the special Fracture Liaison Services (FLS). The article is devoted to the organization of medical care in patients of older age groups who have received hip fractures. A review of modern approaches to the treatment and organization of care for elderly patients with hip fractures is based on the methodological recommendations «Complex measures aimed at preventing falls and fractures in the elderly» developed in the framework of the federal project «The Older Generation», the draft national clinical guidelines «Fractures of the proximal femur», as well as the results of our own research.

Background. In the Russian Federation, the prevalence of falls and fractures in older people in the general population is unknown. Single studies have been carried out on small samples (hospitalized patients, patients with diabetes mellitus etc.). Objective. To investigate history of low-energy fractures, frequency of falls in the past year and their associations with other geriatric syndromes (GS) in subjects aged ≥65 years.

Materials and methods. We examined 4308 subjects (30% of men) aged 65 to 107 years (mean age 78 ± 8 years) in 11 regions of the Russian Federation, who were divided into 3 age groups (65-74, 75-84 and ≥85 years old). All participants underwent comprehensive geriatric assessment, which consisted of two stages: 1) survey on a specially designed questionnaire; 2) physical examination.

Results. The frequency of falls over the past year was 30%, including 25,7% — in subjects aged 65-74 yrs, 29,8% — 75-84 yrs, 37,3% — ≥85 yrs (p for trend <0,001). Of these, 62% of participants fell 1 time, 38% — 2 times or more. With the same frequency, the subjects fell at home (41%) and on the street (42%), 17% of subjects fell both at home and on the street. A history of low-energy fractures was found in 17% of the participants, among which the most frequent (63%) were fractures of the radius. Univariate regression analysis with sex and age (as a discret variable) adjustment, where the falls in the past year were considered as the dependent variable, and GS as independent one, demonstrated that all GS were associated with falls in the past year with odds ratios (ORs) ranging from 1,25 to 3,13. Multivariate regression analysis with age and sex adjustment showed that independent predictors of falls were female gender (ORs 1,51; 95% confidence interval 1,26-1,82; р<0,001) and 6 GS (malnutrition, depression, urinary and fecal incontinence, chronic pain and dependence in instrumental activities in daily life) with a 1,3-2,4 times increase of falls risk.

Conclusion. In EVKALIPT study we firstly obtained the domestic data on the prevalence of falls and low-energy fractures history in subjects aged >65 years in the general population and studied associations between falls in the past year and other geriatric syndromes.

Published: August 2021

The comorbidity of osteoarthritis and cardiovascular disease is the most frequent and typical polymorbidity in older patients. The identity of risk factors, low intensity pathogenetic effect of systemic inflammation, dyslipidemia define a greater degree and progression of both osteoarthritis and cardiovascular diseases in patients with a combination thereof. There is a significant decline in physical functioning and loss of autonomy. There is a higher risk of cardiovascular mortality in osteoarthritis patients. Only comprehensive programs involving physical rehabilitation, nutraceutical support, and pharmaceutical substances of chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate can supply effective and safe treatment in patients with osteoarthritis and cardiovascular disease.

The State Institution “Institute of Children and Adolescents’ Healthcare under the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine” (SI “ICAH of NAMSU”) is a multidisciplinary research, diagnostics & treatment, organizational & methodological center, the activities of which have been always responding to the most urgent needs of the contemporary healthcare. Functioning of this center has been always directed on solving the top priority tasks in the field of healthcare for school children and youth, including: prevention of chronic non-infectious diseases during childhood and adolescence; maintenance of the reproduction potential and of the psychological health among children and adolescents; prevention of the negative impacts from the educational process upon the health of school-age children and studying youth; scientific substantiation of the efficient use of new inventions in the related field; medical assistance for the patients of childhood and adolescence age under the conditions of healthcare sector reforms. As per the determined functions, the Institute is the only research institution of such specialization in Ukraine today.
During the last decade, the state of health among Ukraine’ population of childhood age has been subject to negative changes: the morbidity rate has been growing along with the number of diseases, including non-infectious somatic pathologies. The share of healthy children of the school age does not exceed 5–10 %. Therefore, timely detection of the diseases of endocrine, reproduction, bronchopulmonary, cardiovascular, osteomuscular systems as well as of kidneys and liver becomes of vital importance. Attention should be particularly focused on the children and adolescents from the ATO zone and those suffered from the military actions, on the state of their psychological health and physical development. An important direction in maintaining and strengthening the health of children from the military conflict zone is the application of principles of the medical & psychological assistance based on organizational, curative and preventive measures carried out by the PI “ICAH of NAMSU”.
The Institute’s personnel will be directing their further efforts towards solving the most acute and most socially important issues related to reformation of healthcare for children and adolescents below 18 y.o. as well as on the development of advanced medical technologies for diagnostics, treatment and rehabilitation of children and adolescents.

Published: August 2021

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) severe acute respiratory syndrome. The virus was discovered in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The advent of COVID-19 has posed challenges for healthcare professionals to quickly diagnose and provide medical care to patients. Currently, there is an intensive study of the clinical and epidemiological features of the disease, the development of new means of its prevention and treatment. The most common clinical manifestation of a new variant of coronavirus infection is bilateral pneumonia; in 3–4 % of patients the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome was recorded. In some patients, hypercoagulable syndrome with thrombosis and thromboembolism develops, other organs and systems (central nervous system, myocardium, kidneys, liver, gastrointestinal tract, endocrine and immune systems) are also affected, and sepsis and septic shock may develop. A high prevalence of concomitant diseases of the cardiovascular system has been shown, as well as their significant impact on the course of COVID-19 in such patients. Patients with pre-established medical conditions such as heart failure are at particularly high risk of morbidity and mortality from COVID-19. The risk of complications may be higher in patients with heart failure, not only because they are older and have more comorbidities, but also because of the specific characteristics of the syndrome. A correct understanding of the interaction between heart failure drugs and proposed drugs for the treatment of COVID-19 can help in the management of this category of patients. The article presents the main mechanisms of the influence of COVID-19 infection on the development of heart failure, the features of the course of this disease against the background of COVID-19. The authors describe the key methods of examining patients with heart failure with suspected COVID-19 disease, the features of the use of the main groups of drugs recommended for patients with heart failure, as well as moments of interaction between pharmacological drugs and the development of adverse side effects.
Keywords: heart failure, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, comorbidity, pharmacotherapy.

Die dynamische Geometrie Software (DGS) ist seit langem im Schulunterricht etabliert und im Lehrplan verankert. Nach meinen Erfahrungen wird allerdings dynamische Geometrie Software im schulischen Bereich sehr oft nur als Zeicheninstrument gehandhabt. Damit wird das eigentliche Potential dieser Software nicht ausgenützt. Für geometrische Fragen wird nach wie vor mit Zirkel und Geodreieck gearbeitet. Dabei stellt sich die entwicklungspsychologische Frage, ob man die tradierten Methoden beherrschen müsse, um die aktuellen Methoden nutzbringend anwenden zu können. Es gibt aber interessante Beispiele, welche zunächst spezifische technische Fragen um die Handhabung der dynamischen Geometrie Software aufwerfen. Diese Fragen tangieren auch das tradierte Bild der Geometrie. Es werden exemplarisch einige Fälle dazu vorgestellt (Inkreis, archimedische Spiralen, Zykloide). Dabei kommen wir zu Fragen der Arbeitsökonomie, der logischen Schlüssigkeit und der strukturellen Symmetrie.

Authors:   Institute of Linguistics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Ryabova I.S.
Published: August 2021

The paper describes linguistic properties of the Dabida pronominal demonstrative adverbs of space and time formed from the demonstrative pronouns in noun class 16 (locative) agreement through the conversion. The language data has been obtained from two Kenyan informants who were native speakers of the Mbololo dialect of Dabida studying in Moscow.
Agent-Based Modeling for Archaeology
Authors: Romanowska Iza
Published: August 2021

To fully understand not only the past, but also the trajectories, of human societies, we need a more dynamic view of human social systems. Agent-based modeling (ABM), which can create fine-scale models of behavior over time and space, may reveal important, general patterns of human activity. Agent-Based Modeling for Archaeology is the first ABM textbook designed for researchers studying the human past. Appropriate for scholars from archaeology, the digital humanities, and other social sciences, this book offers novices and more experienced ABM researchers a modular approach to learning ABM and using it effectively. Readers will find the necessary background, discussion of modeling techniques and traps, references, and algorithms to use ABM in their own work. They will also find engaging examples of how other scholars have applied ABM, ranging from the study of the intercontinental migration pathways of early hominins, to the weather–crop–population cycles of the American Southwest, to the trade networks of Ancient Rome. This textbook provides the foundations needed to simulate the complexity of past human societies, offering researchers a richer understanding of the past—and likely future—of our species.

Classification of Filament Formation Mechanisms in Magnetized Molecular Clouds
Authors: Abe Daisei , Inoue Tsuyoshi , Inutsuka Shu-ichiro , Matsumoto Tomoaki
Published: August 2021

Recent observations of molecular clouds show that dense filaments are the sites of present-day star formation. Thus, it is necessary to understand the filament formation process because these filaments provide the initial condition for star formation. Theoretical research suggests that shock waves in molecular clouds trigger filament formation. Since several different mechanisms have been proposed for filament formation, the formation mechanism of the observed star-forming filaments requires clarification. In the present study, we perform a series of isothermal magnetohydrodynamics simulations of filament formation. We focus on the influences of shock velocity and turbulence on the formation mechanism and identified three different mechanisms for the filament formation. The results indicate that when the shock is fast, at shock velocity v
sh ≃ 7 km s−1, the gas flows driven by the curved shock wave create filaments irrespective of the presence of turbulence and self-gravity. However, at a slow shock velocity v
sh ≃ 2.5 km s−1, the compressive flow component involved in the initial turbulence induces filament formation. When both the shock velocities and turbulence are low, the self-gravity in the shock-compressed sheet becomes important for filament formation. Moreover, we analyzed the line-mass distribution of the filaments and showed that strong shock waves can naturally create high-line-mass filaments such as those observed in the massive star-forming regions in a short time. We conclude that the dominant filament formation mode changes with the velocity of the shock wave triggering the filament formation.

Asymptotic giant branch stars (AGBs) and young stellar objects (YSOs) often share the same domains in infrared (IR) color–magnitude or color–color diagrams leading to potential misclassification. We extracted a list of AGB interlopers from the published YSO catalogs using the periodogram analysis on the Near-Earth Object Wide Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) time series data. YSO IR variability is typically stochastic and linked to episodic mass accretion. Furthermore, most variable YSOs are at an early evolutionary stage, with significant surrounding envelope and/or disk material. In contrast, AGBs are often identified by a well-defined sinusoidal variability with periods of a few hundreds days. From our periodogram analysis of all known low-mass YSOs in the Gould Belt, we find 85 AGB candidates, out of which 62 were previously classified as late-stage Class III YSOs. Most of these new AGB candidates have similar IR colors to O-rich AGBs. We observed 73 of these AGB candidates in the H2O, CH3OH, and SiO maser lines to further reveal their nature. The SiO maser emission was detected in 10 sources, confirming them as AGBs because low-mass YSOs, especially Class III YSOs, do not show such maser emission. The H2O and CH3OH maser lines were detected in none of our targets.
Comparative ecomorphology of the sandstone night lizard (Xantusia gracilis) and the granite night lizard (Xantusia henshawi)
Authors: Grismer L. Lee
Published: August 2021

Abstract

It is hypothesized that shape differences between the closely related sandstone night lizard (Xantusia gracilis) and the granite night lizard (X. henshawi) may be correlated with structual differences in their respective microhabitats. Multivariate and univariate analyses of 22 morphometric characters taken from the head, body, and limbs of both saxicolus specialists recovered statistically significant differences between them with X. gracilis having a wider head, longer snout, larger eyes, wider sternum, higher and wider pelvis, thinner limbs, longer forearms and thighs, and longer hind limbs. Many of these same proportional differences have been reported among very closely related saxicolus species in other lizard families (i.e. Eublepharidae, Gekkonidae, Phrynosomatidae) that also live on different rocky substrates. This supports the inference that morphometric differences between X. gracilis and X. henshawi are ecomorphological adaptations for navigating the substantially different substrates of their respective microhabitats. Xantusia gracilis is restricted to a loose, heterogeneous, sandstone microhabitat composed of large boulders, small rocks, and cliff faces where cracks, crevices, holes, and exfoliations are used as retreats versus the compact, more homogeneous, granite boulder microhabitat of X. henshawi where narrow spaces beneath exfoliations and cap-rocks are the preferred retreats.
Beyond education by ranking: Let's not return to 'normal'
Authors: Taylor Phil
Published: August 2021

The cancellation of public examinations in England during the coronavirus pandemic drew attention to a long-standing educational concern. Grading and ranking students, in various ways, has taken place for many years, but in summer 2020 this process was shared between teachers and, initially,
an 'algorithm'. Maintaining standards and consistent grade distributions is a feature of the exam system in 'normal' times. This article considers why exam grades are (roughly) normally distributed, tracing origins of bell-curve thinking, to suggest that we should not be returning to this
kind of 'normal'.

Background/Aims: Despite proper use of pharmaceuticals, adverse drug reactions (ADRs) can lead to problems related to patient safety. We analyzed the characteristics of ADRs, particularly serious adverse events (SAEs), in a single tertiary medical institution. Methods: Spontaneous ADR report data collected from 2010 to 2019 in Seoul National University Hospital were assessed. Causality was evaluated according to the World Health Organization-Uppsala Monitoring Centre criteria. Age, sex, onset, severity, seriousness, and system organ class (SOC) of ADRs and SAEs were analyzed. Results: During the study period, a total of 49,955 individual case safety reports were assessed as possible, probable, or certain. Although the number of gastrointestinal ADR reports was high (25.9%), severe cases were uncommon (2.6%). By contrast, the number of hematologic disorders was low (6.6%) but 39.2% of them were severe. Among ADRs, 10.2% were assessed as SAEs, the proportion of which was high at extreme ages and in males. Body as a whole-general disorders were the most frequently reported SOC for SAEs, followed by skin and appendage disorders. Antineoplastic agents and antibiotics were the most common causative agents of SAEs and ADRs. Anaphylactic reaction was the most frequent SAE (6.5%). Conclusions: The proportion of SAE differs according to SOC and drug. Attention should be paid to SAEs in children and older adults because the rate of SAEs is significantly higher at extreme ages.
On the relation between action and linking
Authors: Senior David Bechara , Hryniewicz Umberto L. , Salomão Pedro A. S.
Published: August 2021

We introduce numerical invariants of contact forms in dimension three and use asymptotic cycles to estimate them. As a consequence, we prove a version for Anosov Reeb flows of results due to Hutchings and Weiler on mean actions of periodic points. The main tool is the Action-Linking Lemma, expressing the contact area of a surface bounded by periodic orbits as the Liouville average of the asymptotic intersection number of most trajectories with the surface.

In this study, we introduce and study new fuzzy-interval integral is known as fuzzy-interval double integral, where the integrand is fuzzy-interval-valued functions (FIVFs). Also, some fundamental properties are also investigated. Moreover, we present a new class of convex fuzzy-interval-valued functions is known as coordinated convex fuzzy-interval-valued functions (coordinated convex FIVFs) through fuzzy order relation (FOR). The FOR $\left(\preccurlyeq \right)$ and fuzzy inclusion relation (⊇) are two different concepts. With the help of fuzzy-interval double integral and FOR, we have proved that coordinated convex fuzzy-IVF establish a strong relationship between Hermite-Hadamard (HH-) and Hermite-Hadamard-Fejér (HH-Fejér) inequalities. With the support of this relation, we also derive some related HH-inequalities for the product of coordinated convex FIVFs. Some special cases are also discussed. Useful examples that verify the applicability of the theory developed in this study are presented. The concepts and techniques of this paper may be a starting point for further research in this area.
