Authors: Lombok Johny Zeth , Anom I Dewa Ketut
Published: May 2023

Research on compounds from liquid smoke resulting from the pyrolysis of used tire waste has been conducted. The results of tire pyrolysis produce liquid hydrocarbons and charcoal which can be utilized and developed into more useful materials or finished goods. This study aims to identify the compound components of liquid smoke resulting from the pyrolysis of used tire waste. The research begins with manufacturing a pyrolysis tool based on the principle of dry distillation. The pyrolysis process is carried out by heating at high temperatures. Liquid smoke analysis was carried out using GC-MS. In contrast, the components of the compound were identified and characterized by comparing the mass spectrum data obtained with the mass spectrum data in the GC-MS library. The results showed that the pyrolysis of 6 kg of used tires produced 1500 mL of liquid smoke. Analysis of liquid smoke by GC-MS produced 88 chromatogram peaks, with the most dominant peak height at peaks 3, 17, 37, 38, 72, and 73. The most dominant compound component identified by MS spectrum analysis is 2-propanone (peak 3), 4-methyl-2-pentanone (peak 17), ethyl-benzene (peak 37), 1,2-dimethyl-benzene (peak 38), 1-methyl-4-(1-methyl ethyl)-benzene (peak 72) and limonene (peak 73).

Published: May 2023

This study aims to determine the composition of the oxide, the characteristics of palm shell and coir, and silica gel synthesized. The oxide composition, crystallinity, palm shell and coir ash functional groups were analyzed using XRF, XRD, and FTIR. Analysis of the functional groups and crystallinity using FT-IR and XRD. The results showed the composition of SiO2 in palm shell and coir ash was 76%, and SiO2 in the form of quartz and cristobalite was more dominant than amorphous SiO2. The synthesis success was indicated by the appearance of peaks with low intensity, not sharp, and resembling bumps on the synthesized silica gel diffractogram, which is an amorphous SiO2 characteristic. This result is confirmed by FT-IR, where absorption at wave number 455 cm-1 is a Si-O-Si bending vibration, 783 cm-1 is a stretching vibration of Si-O symmetry of Si-O-Si, 3454.51 cm-1, and 3568 cm-1 with fairly high intensity are characteristic of the -OH group from Si-OH. The wide and sharp absorption at 1083.99 cm-1 is a stretching vibration of the Si-O symmetry of Si-O-Si, 1625.99 cm-1 is -OH vibration of water molecule, 798.53 cm-1 is Si-O stretching vibration of Si-O-Si and absorption of 462.92 cm-1 indicates bending vibration of Si-O-Si.

Authors: Taufiq Nuramaniyah , Sulfiani Sulfiani
Published: May 2023

Javanese bark (Lannea coromandelica) contains secondary metabolites of saponins, tannins, phenolics, and flavonoids. Flavonoids include aromatic compounds that are antioxidants. Antioxidants can inhibit the oxidation process that arises due to free radical reactions to form unreactive compounds. The active flavonoid compounds in counteracting free radicals are determined by the presence of the –OH (hydroxy) functional group. Flavonoid compounds that have antioxidant properties include catechins, flavones, flavanones, flavonols, chalcones, and isoflavones. This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity of ethanol extract and n-hexane bark of Javan bark (Lannea coromandelica) using the DPPH method.

Published: May 2023

Objective The purpose of this study was to examine whether attachment insecurity, stigma, and certain demographic and medical factors predict depression and anxiety in people living with HIV (PLWH).Methods Participants were 147 PLWH who visited the outpatient infection clinic in Kyungpook National University Hospital (KNUH; Daegu, South Korea) between June 2020 and January 2021. We measured HIV-related stigma, attachment anxiety and avoidance, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms.Results Logistic regression analysis showed that unemployment, longer time receiving antiretroviral therapy, higher attachment avoidance, and higher attachment anxiety were significant predictors of depression. Results also showed that longer time receiving antiretroviral therapy, higher attachment anxiety, and concern with public attitudes were significant predictors of anxiety.Conclusion In addition to education to reduce public stigma, interventions to reduce PLWH’s self-stigma should continue. We suggest attachment-based psychotherapy as an effective intervention to improve PLWH’s mental health.
Chrysin Attenuates Oxidative Stress to Alleviate Sevoflurane-Induced Cognitive Impairments in Aged Rats
Authors: Chen Caiping , Zeng Jingyang , Luo Bo , Li Shunyuan
Published: May 2023

Objective Anesthesia-induced cognitive impairments are common for elder patients after surgery. Oxidative stress is the predominant factor contributing to the impairments. This study was to assess the therapeutic potential of an anti-oxidative naturally occurring flavonoid, chrysin, in attenuating sevoflurane-induced cognitive impairments in rat models.Methods Rat models of cognitive impairments were constructed by exposing aged rats (18 months old) to sevoflurane for 2 h. Chrysin was administered via oral gavage at the dose of 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg/day for seven days. The elevated plus maze test was used to assess anxiety and explorative behaviors. Spatial memory tests were performed using novel object recognition test, object location memory task, and water maze experiments. Oxidative stress was evaluated by measuring levels of malondialdehyde, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, 4-hydroxynonenal, and glutathione using colorimetric assays. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot were used to analyze how chrysin affects nuclear factor E2-related factor (Nrf) signaling.Results While sevoflurane anesthesia led to significant decline in cognitive performance in object recognition test, object location memory task, and water maze test, chrysin exerted significant effects in alleviating the impairments. Oxidative stress was also reduced in the hippocampus tissue of rats after chrysin intake. Nrf signaling was activated by chrysin treatment in sevoflurane-induced cognitive impairment models.Conclusion Chrysin was effective in alleviating cognitive impairments induced by sevoflurane anesthesia, which was at least in part facilitated by its effects in reducing oxidative stress via activating Nrf signaling.

Objective Following the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, the importance of addressing acute stress induced by psychological burdens of diseases became apparent. This study attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of a new mode of psychiatric intervention designed to target similar psychological crises.Methods Participants included 32 out of 114 COVID inpatients at a hospital in Daegu, Korea, who were assessed between March 30 and April 7, 2020. Multiple scales for screening psychological difficulties such as depressed mood, anxiety, insomnia, acute stress, and suicidality were done. Psychological problem evaluations and interventions were conducted in the form of consultations to alleviate participants’ psychological challenges via telepsychiatry. The interventions’ effects, as well as clinical improvements before and after the intervention, were analyzed.Results As a result of screening, 21 patients were experiencing psychological difficulties beyond clinical thresholds after COVID-19 infection (screening positive group). The remaining 11 were screening negative groups. The two groups differed significantly in past psychiatric histories (p=0.034), with the former having a higher number of diagnoses. The effect of the intervention was analyzed, and clinical improvement before and after the intervention was observed. Our intervention was found to be effective in reducing the overall emotional difficulties.Conclusion This study highlighted the usefulness of new interventions required in the context of healthcare following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Authors: Ahmed Darya Rostam
Published: May 2023

Based on the author’s clinical experience, the aim of this paper is to conceptually analyse the theory of psychological functioning and action mechanisms in the way mindfulness meditation works. Meditation is a method of revealing unconsciousness. It works in a similar way to the inhibitory and excitatory mechanisms of neurones. Block pathogenic thoughts and emotions that reach the unconscious to the conscious mind. The long-term implementation of mediation may be more effective than the short-term and interrupted implementation.
Post-secular Feminist Research: The Concept of “Lived” Religion and Double Critique
Authors: Grenz Sabine
Published: May 2023

In feminist research on religion, women and gender, the concepts of “lived religion” as well as “agency as doing religion” take a prominent place. Both include an intersubjective and mostly partial perspective. However, against the background of current developments concerning a global religious right, the paper argues for the inclusion of a critical perspective through the methodology of a double critique that includes both an analysis of power relations that marginalize women in religious groups and an analysis of women’s reproduction of gendered as well as racialized power relations. This argument is embedded in the complexity of post-secular feminist research including research on women, gender and religion, feminist critiques of secularism (and of anti-Muslim discourses), feminist, queer and trans theologies, and research on the religious right and their anti-feminist politics. The paper suggests to take feminist theologies and feminist spiritualities/religious practices as reference point for such an analysis.
Of Crops, Dragons, and Re-enchanted Landscapes. John Michell’s Impact on British Earth Mysteries
Authors: Thaler Marleen
Published: May 2023

The English writer John Michell (1933–2009) occupied a significant position within British alternative religion. Michell’s manifold books revolve around his life-long aim to re-enchant the English landscape and launch a new golden age. Michell was a devoted Traditionalist and is widely considered the founding father of the vast field of British Earth Mysteries. Associated groups embrace speculative theories of the earth, claiming the existence of telluric (dragon) energies. As Michell’s impact on such groups is widely acknowledged, within the context of Earth Mysteries, this article centers on cerealogy and the Dragon Environmental Network as examples in exploring Michell’s discursive and enduring influence.
Design Thinking As a Method of Organising Group Work
Authors: Ivanova Ol'ga
Published: May 2023

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the tasks facing managers and staff today are unprecedented and do not have ready-made solutions. For this reason, group formats of management, development and work are becoming more important: the team first of all allows you to find social environment in which you can quickly generate and filter solutions, learn from each other. The aim of the study is to confirm the hypothesis of the group work effectiveness, to assess how all team members have mutual influence. This study presents methods and techniques for organising group work at various stages of project management, how to find a balance between an individual and group activity. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the author presents the mechanism of design thinking as a methodology that will allow exploring the surrounding reality, overcoming stereotypes and testing hypotheses in practice, and as a tool, it puts the client at the centre. Design thinking, as a practice-oriented methodology, helps to solve specific problems, to determine specific metrics, to check through data whether the solution satisfies the needs and is feasible. The strength of the design thinking methodology is allowing “playing” as you like with a variety of tools, methods and techniques. Design thinking, through the process of generating ideas and constantly testing hypotheses, leads to disclosing the group artistic potential and creates a special atmosphere of freedom and creative search.

Theories for New Energy Sources Based on Celestial Vortex Modeling
Authors: Bushong James , Bushong Henry
Published: May 2023

Recent observations of astrophysical plasma jets emanating from the galactic-core of Galaxy M87 underscore the importance and intensity of magnetic fields in powerful celestial vortices. Based on standard electromagnetic theory, this naturally indicates the presence of potent electric field within these vortices. Any new method of generating powerful electromagnetic field is worthy of consideration for humanities’ power and energy needs. As astrophysical plasma jets are also known to be among the most powerful forms of energy in the observed Universe, it seems well-worthy of consideration as to how humanity may be able to simulate them in a scaled-down version that could serve as an alternative green energy source. This paper explores how these energetic processes might be simulated and scaled to humanities’ needs based on (1) postulates around the physics / energy sources of celestial vortices; (2) potential characteristics of the electric field charge-distribution, convective currents, and spatial orientation within celestial vortices; (3) characteristics of the magnetic field spawned by the proposed electric field; (4) estimates of density and rotational velocity of celestial vortices based on novel stellar-formation vortex theory and computational modeling, and (5) how aspects of stellar formation physics may aid in achieving humanities’ quest for nuclear fusion.
Det är övergripande, en tolkning, kring vad jag tycker den ska innehålla
Authors: Lind Annika
Published: May 2023

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur sex stycken tillfrågade lärare för grundskolans lägre årskurser F-3 upplever sin undervisning kring läroplanens område sexualitet, samtycke och relationer. Studien utgår från Sandra Hardings genusteori samt Judith Butlers begrepp kring performativitet. Studien är tänkt att synliggöra hur lärare i de lägre årskurserna undervisar kring läroplanens område sexualitet, samtycke och relationer samt att lyfta hur undervisningen balanseras mellan kön och normer. Resultatet av studien visar att det upplevs finnas svårigheter kring framför allt ämnet sexualitet i läroplanens område sexualitet, samtycke och relationer där det framkommer en osäkerhet kring vad undervisningen förväntas innehålla samt den egna lärarens svårighet att veta hur ämnet ska anpassas till grundskolans lägre åldrar. Inte heller sexuella övergrepp och grooming lyfts av fler än två av de sex tillfrågade lärarna, något som inte svarar mot det eventuella behovet av sådan undervisningen med tanke på att forskning visar hur vanligt det är med sexuella övergrepp hos barn. Studiens resultat visar också på att lärarna har ett väletablerat normkritiskt förhållningssätt där de aktivt reflekterar över sina egna normer och språkbruk för att inte förstärka normer i sin undervisning. I och med detta aktiva normkritiska förhållningssätt påvisade studien knappa svårigheter kring balansen mellan kön och normer i undervisningen inom området sexualitet, samtycke och relationer. Normerna kring genus uppfattades av de tillfrågade lärarna skapas utanför skolverksamheten. Eleverna upplevdes av lärarna att vara medvetna om normer hörande till de olika könen, vilket styrks av tidigare forskning där kulturella definitioner av manligt och kvinnligt påverkar barn även i yngre ålder. Resultatet av studien förklaras utifrån Hardings genusteori där lärarnas individuella normer kring genus, som är en produkt av hur de strukturella och symboliska normerna i samhället ser ut, kan ha en inverkan på hur de tolkar innehållet i läroplanens område sexualitet, samtycke och relationer. Det tolkas även utifrån Butlers begrepp om performativitet, att våra handlingar och ord skapar normer, där lärarna riskerar att påverka undervisningen i och med att undervisningen eventuellt kan föra vidare beteenden och normer som är påverkade av den individuella tolkningen av området.

Abstrak: Perdamaian adalah segala hal yang membahas mengenai pencapaian kesejatraan hidup manusia melalui keadilan dan kondisi damai. Pemaknaan perdamaian di tentukan oleh sudut pandang manusia mengenai dunia. Damai pada awalnya gagasan mengenai kehidupan yang damai bermula jesak tahun 1980-an dimana kisah di Taman Eden, dimana kisah kesemournaan rekonsolidasi dalam Kristus. Dengan demikian, dapat di katakan bahwa hanya penebusan yang asalnya dari Tuhan dapat memberikan kesempatan unik bagi mereka yang ingin mendapatkan terua merasakan sejati damai (Yer. 51:10; Rm. 5:10-11, 18). Pengajaran Alkitab mengenai Perdamaian adalah awal penempatan teologi Shalom sebagai spirutualitas orang percaya atau beriman.Seperti yang kita jumpai dalam lingkungan masyarakat Toraja, kedamaian dalam lingkungan masyarakat orang Toraja sangat nyata kita rasakan atau kita jumpai, dalam lingkungan orang Toraja, baik itu di toraja maupun yang kita jumpai di berbagai tempat. Begitu banyak perbedaan atara sesama orang toraja baik itu berbeda keyakinan dan lain-lain, namun itu tidak membatasi toleransi kedamaina terhadap masyarakat orang Toraja.

Notes of an Underground Humanist
Authors: Wright Chris
Published: May 2023

This book touches on most of the important questions that arise in life. Somewhat in the manner of Nietzsche, it presents provocative perspectives on topics ranging from morality to politics, from art to religion, from capitalism to socialism. What is the "meaning of life"? What does it mean to act morally? What are the sources of modern unhappiness and social ills? How has Western society evolved to its present state, and what is its future? What is the future of capitalism itself? Such questions, and many others, are addressed. The book is also intended as literature, though, and as such contains poetry and fiction. Ultimately its purpose is simply stated: it is meant to contribute to the collective project of dragging "humanism" out from the underground.

Between-session chasing of losses and wins in an online eCasino
Authors: Zhang Ke , Rights Jason , Deng Xiaolei , Lesch Tilman , Clark Luke
Published: May 2023

Continued gambling despite negative consequences, commonly known as ‘chasing’, is a defining feature of disordered gambling. Yet chasing is also a complex and multi-faceted behavioural phenotype; for example, gamblers may chase winning outcomes as well as losses. This study characterized between-session chasing behavior in a large naturalistic dataset of online gambling data, comprising 1,909,681 eCasino sessions played by 15,544 individuals on PlayNow.com, the provincial online gambling platform in British Columbia, Canada. Analyses distinguished sessions on slot machines (as the reference category), blackjack, roulette, video poker, probability games, or mixed sessions. Overall, gamblers returned more slowly after losing sessions, and more quickly after winning sessions, across most product categories. For every standard deviation increase in the prior session net loss, slot machine gamblers took 8.59% longer to return to the website (b = 0.08, p < .001). For every standard deviation increase in the prior session net win, slot machine gamblers returned 6.68% faster (b = -0.07, p < .001). Loss chasing intensities in blackjack, probability, video poker, and mixed sessions did not differ significantly from slot machine sessions, but roulette was associated with a shorter interval to return (b = -0.13, p < .001). Similarly, win chasing intensities across blackjack, probability games, and video poker did not differ significantly from slot machine sessions, but roulette (b = -0.08, p < .001) and mixed (b = -0.02, p = 0.009) sessions were associated with shorter intervals to return. Average behavioural patterns provide limited evidence for loss chasing in the interval between sessions, but gamblers return faster after larger wins. Although slot machines are commonly considered as high-risk gambling products, in our analyses online roulette was associated with the greatest chasing intensities.
Differential expression of C5ORF46 in cancer of the skin: malignant melanoma.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: May 2023

Skin cancer is diagnosed in nearly 1.5 million patients each year (1). While patients with basal and squamous cell carcinomas are provided with 5-year survival rates at nearly 100% and 90%, respectively, patients diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma (metastatic melanoma) are provided 5-year survival rates at 91.4% at stage I and 24.6% at stage IV (2-5). We mined published microarray datasets (6, 7), using both primary tumor tissues and cultured tumor cell lines to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with the deadliest type of skin cancer, malignant melanoma. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding chromosome 5 open reading frame 46, C5ORF46, when comparing melanoma tumor tissue to normal skin. C5ORF46 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in melanoma tumor tissue as compared to normal skin. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of C5ORF46 in the tumors of patients with melanoma was correlated with overall survival. C5ORF46 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of malignant melanoma in humans.

Maxar’s WorldView-3 Enables Low-Concentration Methane Detection from Space
Authors: Hayden Andreas , Christy Joseph
Published: May 2023

Methane is large contributor to climate change; for this reason, detecting and eliminating sources of methane emissions is a key element to minimizing the effects of on-going climate change. While there are a variety of methods currently used to detect methane emissions, ranging from ground-based sensors to aerial sensors like drones and aircraft, satellite detections provide a broad-area coverage addition to these other methods. Satellites are ideally situated to perform detections worldwide and continually monitor areas of concern.In this paper, we present our WorldView-3 results from the 2022 Stanford Controlled Methane Release Experiment and describe how this experiment enabled us to uncover a misinterpretation of our spectral absorbance data base. In the single blind, controlled release experiment, our detection algorithms using Maxar’s WorldView-3 satellite and its shortwave infrared (SWIR) sensor was able to correctly detect and quantify emissions down to 33 kg per hour (kg/hr). The Stanford experiment was so well designed and executed that we quickly determined that our mass flow-rate (MFR) estimation included roughly a factor-of-2 error, which was the result of misinterpreting the data in the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) spectral database. Once we uncovered and corrected the misinterpretation, our MFR aligned with the ground truth data.
Evolution of lake surface temperatures of high-altitude lakes in the European Alpine region under climate change
Authors: Enigl Katharina , Kurmayer Rainer
Published: May 2023

Lake Surface Temperature (LST) is a key characteristic that reflects meteorological and climatological influences on lakes. In general, there is limited LST data from high elevation lakes available as these areas are remote and not part of regular monitoring programs. Nonetheless, it is crucial to understand their response to climate warming for the development of effective management strategies for high-altitude lakes. This study aims at projecting LSTs for 21 alpine lakes (1500-2300 m a.s.l.) in the Niedere Tauern region in Austria until the end of the century. For the determination of the relationship between atmospheric variables (temperature and precipitation), near-lake snow depth and observed LST, General Additive Models were trained with a daily temporal resolution for the years 1998 to 2003, 2009 to 2011 and 2019 to 2021. We subsequently employed the model with the highest fit to project LSTs until 2100 using an ensemble of regional climate projections for the RCP2.6 (in-line with the COP 21 Paris Agreement), RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 (“worst-case”) scenario. Considering the RCP8.5 scenario, the average rise for August lake surface temperatures in the far future (2071-2100) is predicted to increase by 2.3 °C compared to temperatures in the reference period (2021-2030). Consequently, the ice-free period is expected to rise on average 1-1.2—fold in the near future (2031-2060) and 1-1.5-fold in the distant future. Furthermore, we evaluated changes in the maximum temperatures of investigated lakes, indicating that 15 °C to 17 °C will be relatively common in the far future period. These alterations in the lakes’ temperature regime probably affect multiple limnological parameters related to ecological quality such as primary productivity and trophic state.
Integrated Formation Attenuation and Multiple Generator Identification from Multi-well VSP Data
Authors: Maula Fahdi , Sakina Marsha , Trihutomo Haryo
Published: May 2023

The Vertical Seismic Profile (VSP) is a widely used technique for extracting velocity information and seismic well tie purposes. However, the full potential of VSP data remains underutilized. This study explores the broader applicability of VSP data beyond its conventional usage by investigating its benefits for seismic data processing and interpretation. Advanced VSP products, incorporating features such as formation attenuation and multiple generator identification, play a crucial role in optimizing seismic data processing workflows.In this paper, we present an extended workflow for zero-offset VSP processing that leverages the value of the downgoing wavefield. By utilizing a robust industry method, we estimate formation attenuation by analyzing the spectral ratio of the downgoing wavefield. The multispectral method is employed to compute the attenuation ratio, considering all receiver pair combinations. This results in the extraction of a 1-D attenuation profile along the well based on statistical coherence. To identify the multiple generators, we apply a separate deconvolution process involving trace-by-trace analysis and reference trace comparison. The adaptive subtraction method is utilized to compute the difference, outputting a wavefield exclusively containing multiple reflections. Additionally, we incorporate the available sonic and density logs from the well to calculate seismic multiples reflectivity modeling, which is then compared with the wavefields.We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed workflow by applying it to Zero Offset VSP datasets from two wells in the Browse Basin, Australia. The integration of VSP datasets into the subsurface model highlights their value and contributes to subsurface interpretation and processing. The obtained results are can upscaled to a 3D field scale using property modeling, yielding valuable insights. Moreover, this study emphasizes the critical role of VSP data as an essential input for subsurface imaging and reservoir characterization.
Macroplastic fragmentation in rivers
Authors: Liro Maciej , Zielonka Anna , van Emmerik Tim
Published: May 2023

The process of macroplastic (>0.5 cm) fragmentation results in the production of smaller plastic particles (micro- and nanoplastics), which threaten biota and human health and are difficult to remove from the environment. The global coverage and long retention times of macroplastic waste in fluvial systems (ranging from years to centuries) create long-lasting and widespread potential for its fragmentation and the production of secondary micro- and nanoplastics. However, the pathways and rates of this process are unknown, which constitutes a fundamental knowledge gap in our understanding of macroplastic fate in rivers and the transfer of produced microparticles throughout the environment. To set the stage for future research aiming to fill this gap, we present a conceptual framework which identifies two types of riverine macroplastic fragmentation controls: intrinsic (resulting from plastic item properties) and extrinsic (resulting from river characteristics and climate) processes. First, based on the existing literature, we identify the intrinsic properties of macroplastic items that make them particularly prone to fragmentation (e.g., the film shape, low polymer resistance, previous weathering). Second, we propose a conceptual model showing how extrinsic controls can modulate the intensity of macroplastic fragmentation in perennial and intermittent rivers. Using this model, we hypothesize that the inundated parts of perennial river channels—as specific zones exposed to the constant transfer of water and sediments—provide particular conditions that accelerate the physical fragmentation of macroplastics resulting from their mechanical interactions with water, sediments, and riverbeds. The non-inundated parts of perennial river channels provide conditions for biochemical fragmentation via photo-oxidation. In intermittent rivers, the whole channel zone is hypothesized to favor both the physical and biochemical fragmentation of riverine macroplastics, with the dominance of the mechanical type during the wet season. Our conceptualization aims to support future experimental works quantifying macroplastic fragmentation rates in different types of rivers.
Under no illusion: An acceptability study on Czech agreement attraction
Authors: Lacina Radim
Published: May 2023

The phenomenon of agreement attraction has garnered considerable attention in the psycholinguistic literature on both production and comprehension. While in production, it has been found that in English sentences such as '*The key to the cabinets were rusty' are produced as speech errors by native speakers. In comprehension, researchers have long found evidence of people mistakenly considering these sentences to be grammatical. This illusion of grammaticality is said to be caused by the presence of the plural-matching attractor noun 'cabinets'. The effect has been observed in many languages. In the current study, we attempted to replicate it in Czech. We ran an untimed acceptability judgement study to do this. While Czech speakers consistently noticed the ungrammaticality of these sentences, they came under no illusion and the number of the attractor noun was found to have no effect. This raises questions about the universality of this phenomenon.
