The Subtle Meaning
An Outline of Persian ʿilm-i maʿānī
Authors: Dal Bianco Alessia
Published: February 2024

How does syntax interact with context to convey subtle meanings beyond expectations? A branch of the Arabic-Islamic study of rhetoric known as ‘the science of meanings’ (ʿilm-i maʿānī) discusses this point. This volume is an introduction to the Persian science of meanings as it appears in a selection of textbooks published in Iran over the last century. It examines basic concepts, clarifies jargon, and comments on dozens of examples, mainly taken from classical Persian poetry. It also offers insights into how the Arabic model was adapted to Persian and eventually transformed into a literary theory of how Persian poets made the best use of syntactical possibilities.
Reflexiones sobre la enseñanza telepresencial de lenguas extranjeras en el marco universitario
Authors: Serrano-Carranza Olga Rocío
Published: February 2024

Introducción: Este artículo de investigación examina las percepciones de un grupo de estudiantes universitarios sobre el aprendizaje telepresencial de lenguas extranjeras durante la pandemia. Entre los aspectos estudiados mencionamos la calidad de los aprendizajes, el papel del profesor, las actividades, los recursos, la evaluación, la motivación y la autonomía de los estudiantes.
Método: Los datos fueron recogidos mediante la aplicación de una encuesta. Esta fue respondida por 465 estudiantes de una carrera universitaria de lenguas modernas. Se realizó un análisis cuantitativo.
Resultados: Los resultados muestran que aproximadamente la tercera parte de los estudiantes considera que la telepresencialidad no es eficaz para el aprendizaje de los idiomas. Cerca de la mitad estima que la educación remota es desmotivante y requiere de una importante autonomía. También creen que la comprensión y la producción oral se ven afectadas y prefieren realizar las actividades individualmente. Para un poco más de la mitad de los informantes los recursos son más variados y útiles en la educación remota. Finalmente, creen que la evaluación sumativa en la telepresencialidad resulta menos exigente.
Conclusiones: Se concluye que la educación presencial es primordial en el aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras y que la educación remota puede servir como apoyo o complemento pero no para reemplazarla por completo.

Según las estadísticas de la actividad en internet que ofrece a tiempo real el sitio Internetlivestats.com, en 2016 existen más de 250 millones de páginas web activas. Esta enorme cantidad de información ha impulsado el diseño de una serie de «normas» que las páginas deben cumplir para ser tenidas en cuenta e indexadas. La sobreinformación a la que se expone el internauta lo hace también más exigente y selectivo a la hora de elegir lo que lee. El usuario solo abrirá un enlace si la descripción que ofrece le atrae y le parece fiable. Es esta necesidad de que los contenidos de internet sean del agrado de los motores de búsqueda y también de los usuarios lo que relaciona la optimización en buscadores (SEO) con el trabajo del traductor (transcreación de contenidos, búsqueda de palabras clave).

Los textos en el ámbito del comercio exterior: una taxonomía para la formación de traductores
Authors: Álvarez García Carmen
Published: February 2024

Considerando el incremento progresivo de las operaciones comerciales internacionales, así como del número de empresas internacionalizadas, entendemos que se necesita avanzar en la investigación sobre el comercio exterior, al ser un campo que genera necesidades de intermediación lingüística y cultural y, por ello, de gran interés para traductores e intérpretes. El comercio exterior se caracteriza por integrar textos de diversas disciplinas, por lo que entendemos que no debería ser incluido como una categoría más dentro del ámbito económico o financiero. El presente artículo no solo plantea la necesidad de realizar una taxonomía específica que dé cabida a las manifestaciones textuales que se generan con mayor frecuencia en el ámbito profesional del comercio exterior, sino que propone una clasificación que adopta un enfoque traductológico y que, al ofrecer una visión global de este campo profesional, pretende ser de utilidad en la formación de traductores e intérpretes que deseen especializarse en él. Para llegar a dicha clasificación, comenzamos analizando la relación entre la traducción y el comercio exterior, a continuación, mostramos los criterios de clasificación que han adoptado diversos autores, con la intención de analizar de manera crítica las clasificaciones relevantes, y terminamos exponiendo los criterios que hemos adoptado para formular la propuesta de clasificación que se presenta en el último apartado.

During the study, the following endometrial pathology was found in groups I and II: endometrial polyps – 74.6%; endometrial hyperplasia – 25.3%; chronic endometritis – 77.7%. As a result of evaluating the expression of receptors for steroid hormones in the endometrium during the expected window of implantation, certain features were established: a shift in the expression peak of estrogen and progesterone receptors and a decrease in receptor expression compared to normal endometrium. The level of progesterone in groups I and II was significantly lower compared to the control group. During dopplerometry of the uterine arteries, hemodynamic disturbances were detected in patients of the I and II groups. According to the microscopic studies in the I and II groups of patients, we noted a significant decrease or complete absence of Lactobacillus spp.Conclusions. As a result of the application of an improved personalized approach to the management of women with infertility on the background of endometrial pathology, a two-fold increase in the frequency of pregnancy was achieved compared to patients who were managed according to the generally accepted methodology, which gives the right to recommend such an approach for wide use in practical medicine.

Published: February 2024

This study aims to investigate the effects of political connections and disclosure of Corporate social responsibility (CSR) on the quality of financial reports, which are measured using discretionary accruals (DAC). Secondary data obtained from literature studies were used in this study, and the approach used was a qualitative descriptive method. The results show that political connections have a negative impact on the quality of financial reporting, while CSR disclosure has a positive impact on the quality of financial reporting. The stronger the political connections within a company, the more likely the quality of the resulting financial reports will decrease due to conflicts of interest that may occur. On the other hand, the higher the level of CSR disclosure in a company, the better the quality of the financial reports produced, which in turn can increase public trust, especially investors. Keywords: Quality of Financial Reports, Political Connections and Corporate Social Responsibility.

Published: February 2024

Participation in the community is key to motivating lifestyle changes in adolescents. Some narrative personal essays show that adolescents have great motivation to commit to specific issues, being part of the community and achieving their goals, and desire meaningful collaboration. #SalingSilang is one of Lyfe With Less’s campaigns in Indonesia to support minimalism lifestyle changes and promote inspiration, motivation, and knowledge for the community. #SalingSilang is a campaign to exchange or give free decluttered items to other participants. However, the decision to change lifestyle and interact with individuals from different backgrounds is not easy. With the #SalingSilang campaign, the authors explore the motives of members and their forms of involvement in the community. We conducted an in-depth interview to collect the main data and used semi-structured interviews with guides from Maslow’s Motivation Theory and the CDC’s nine principles of community engagement. Inductive open coding in thematic analysis was used for data analysis. For validity testing, this research used data source triangulation by not only interviewing four different members but also the founder of Lyfe With Less. It has been shown that community members are encouraged by various motivations, such as: increasing opportunities to expand relationships and developing their ideas about situations and conditions related to issues. The results also show that the dominant need is self-actualization needs. Four main themes emerged related to community engagement: self-determination, partnership, collaboration, and capacity development.
Understanding users of online energy efficiency counselling: Comparison to representative samples in Norway
Authors: Klöckner Christian Andreas , Nayum Alim , Vesely Stepan
Published: February 2024

Substantial energy efficiency improvement as part of a deep renovation of the privately owned building stock is one of the key pathways to reaching climate and energy transition targets. Meanwhile, it is important to communicate with potential renovators at the right point in time and provide them with targeted information to strengthen their renovation ambition. The European Union recommends using one-stop-shops (OSSs) as a measure to remove unnecessary barriers. OSSs are institutions or websites that provide information and support throughout the whole process from planning to acquisition of funding, implementation, and evaluating. For this paper, we surveyed 437 visitors of two Norwegian websites with OSS characteristics. The visitors were asked about their renovation plans and energy efficiency ambitions. They also rated a range of psychological drivers, facilitators and barriers to including energy upgrades in a renovation project. Their answers were compared to data from representative samples of Norwegian households regarding home renovation in 2014, 2018, and 2023, as well as data from a sample of people who were engaged in renovation projects in 2014. Furthermore, 78 visitors completed a follow-up survey one year later to report the measures they implemented. We found that visitors of the websites are involved in more comprehensive renovation projects and have substantially higher ambitions for the upgrade of energy efficiency compared to the representative samples. They also perceive stronger personal and social norms, as well as have a different profile of facilitators and barriers. The findings suggest that OSSs attract initially motivated people who lack information and are unable to implement their plans alone. Their visit of the websites seems to amplify their ambitions to upgrade energy efficiency of their dwellings.
VigiAccess Covid-19 dataset
Authors: Bryant Andrew , Lawrie Theresa
Published: February 2024

Background: The monitoring and analysis of adverse drug reactions (ADR’s) play a pivotal role in ensuring drug safety. In the context of a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC), and the roll out of experimental COVID-19 vaccines, the need for a comprehensive database and process to scrutinize ADRs is imperative.Areas of uncertainty: We aim to provide a broader understanding of ADRs associated with COVID-19 vaccines and their implications for public health given this has received attention worldwide.Data sources: This is the first in a series of scientific reports by the World Council for Health (WCH) delving into the COVID-19 vaccine data available on VigiAccess.org, which should be a valuable resource in this context.Therapeutic Advances: For all regions worldwide during the 26-month period, there were nearly 24 million reported adverse events (AEs), of which nearly 8 million were serious (SAEs). Over one million people experienced at least one SAE ranging from a combination of debilitating and life-threatening conditions and death. A total of 58,091 people were reported to have died in the dataset.Conclusions:Global authorities on the COVID-19 pandemic such as the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Uppsala Monitoring Centre (UMC) for global pharmacovigilance, need to liaise with health providers, government authorities and the public to investigate the COVID-19 vaccine safety signals. One-off vaccine damage payments of £120,000 for victims in the UK and schemes in other countries may be insufficient.Whilst further investigation is needed to establish causation, based on the substantial numbers of deaths and SAEs associated with the COVID-19 vaccines on VigiAccess.org, the strategy of COVID-19 vaccination programmes worldwide should be reconsidered. Furthermore, these data will likely be significantly underreported given majority of cases were not self-reported and data would also be reported in other sources not captured by VigiAccess.
Plasticity of Parental Care as an Adaptation for Rapid Environmental Change
Authors: Fernandez-Duque Facundo , Huerta Erika Y. , Lawson Shelby L. , Chikoti Saieshwar , Stiefvater Abby , Bell Alison M. , Hauber Mark E.
Published: February 2024

Evolution, driven by genetic factors and complemented by phenotypic plasticity, is crucial for a species' longevity amidst environmental changes. Behavioral adaptability, particularly in parental care, plays a key role in evolutionary outcomes, posing challenges and opportunities for adaptation in the rapidly changing Anthropocene era, highlighting its significance in natural selection and the resulting course of evolutionary change. Our preliminary data on the facultatively biparental red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) over two breeding seasons showed that male provisioning correlated positively with the microhabitat context of the nest, such as placement height, vegetation height, and water depth. These results, along with previous knowledge of the system, suggest a high degree of behavioral plasticity in parental care, which may confer an adaptive advantage in fluctuating environmental conditions. Here, we will experimentally test the influence of altering an important nest attribute (placement height) on paternal care behaviors and decision-making across a gradient of environments subject to climate change. We will alter the height of a nest, across of range of habitats that predictably vary in predation risk to the offspring and assess the changes in male parental care. Furthermore, we will assess how these changes to the nest, and any potential changes to paternal care behavior, affect reproductive output. This study will help us understand how individuals react to the ongoing changes to their environment, and how selection may act on them.

Text length strongly matters when analysing word frequency distributions
Authors: Koplenig Alexander
Published: February 2024

In a previous study, Aceves and Evans (AE) present a large-scale quantitative information-theoretic analysis of parallel corpus data in approximately 1,000 languages to show that there are apparently strong associations between the way languages encode information into words and patterns of communication, such as the configuration of semantic information. During the peer review process, one reviewer raised the question of the extent to which the presented results depend on different text lengths (see the Peer Review File). This is a very important question given that most, if not all, of the quantities associated with word frequency distributions vary systematically with text length. While AE claim that text length does not affect the results presented, I challenge this view by presenting analyses of AE's data and synthetic data that suggest that, contrary to AE's claim, both information density and semantic density are almost completely determined by text length. I also highlight that AE confuse the information-theoretic definition of information as established by Shannon with the everyday notion of information as knowledge or propositional content.
Observations from the Seafloor: Ultra-low-frequency Ambient Ocean-Bottom Nodal Seismology at the Amendment Field

Large-scale ocean-bottom node (OBN) arrays of 1000s of multi-component instruments deployed over 1000s of square kilometers have been used successfully for active-source seismic exploration activities including full waveform inversion (FWI) at exploration frequencies above about 2.0 Hz. The analysis of concurrently recorded lower-frequency ambient wavefield data, though, is only just beginning. A key long-term objective of such ambient wavefield analyses is to exploit the sensitivity of sub-2.0 Hz energy to build long-wavelength initial elastic models, thus facilitating FWI applications. However, doing so requires a more detailed understanding of ambient wavefield information recorded on the seafloor, the types, frequency structure and effective source distribution of recorded surface-wave modes, the near-seafloor elastic model structure, and the sensitivity of recorded wave modes to subsurface model structure. To this end, we present a wavefield analysis of low- and ultra-low-frequency ambient data (defined as <1.0 Hz and <0.1 Hz, respectively) acquired on 2712 OBN stations in the Amendment Phase 1 survey covering 2750 km^2 of the Gulf of Mexico. After applying prestack ambient data preprocessing and seismic cross-coherence interferometry workflows, we demonstrate that the resulting virtual shot gather (VSG) volumes contain evidence for surface-wave and guided P-wave mode propagation between the 0.01-1.0 Hz that remains coherent to distances of at least 80 km. Evidence for surface-wave scattering from near-surface salt-body structure between 0.35-0.85 Hz is also present in a wide spatial distribution of VSG data. Finally, the interferometric VSG volumes clearly show waveform repetition at 20 s intervals in sub-0.3 Hz surface-wave arrivals, a periodicity consistent with the mean active-source shot interval. This suggests that the dominant contribution of surface-wave energy acquired in this VSG frequency band is likely predominantly related to air-gun excitation rather than by naturally occurring energy sources. Overall, these observations may have important consequences for the early stages of initial model building for elastic FWI analysis.
Assessing and improving the robustness of Bayesian evidential learning in one dimension for inverting TDEM data: introducing a new threshold procedure

Understanding the subsurface is of prime importance for many geological and hydro-geological applications. Geophysical methods offer an economical alternative for in-vestigating the subsurface compared to costly borehole investigation methods, but geophysical results are commonly obtained through an inversion whose solution is non-unique. Deterministic inversions providing a unique solution are computationally efficient while stochastic inversions investigating the full uncertainty range are more expensive. In this research, we investigate the robustness of the recently introduced Bayesian evidential learning in one dimension (BEL1D) to stochastically invert time domain electromagnetic data (TDEM). In particular, we analyse the performance and accuracy of BEL1D when using the coarser discretization used for the computation of the forward solution using SimPEG. We demonstrate that it is possible to speed-up BEL1D by introducing a threshold rejection method on the data misfit to by-pass itera-tions. In addition, we discuss the impact of the prior model space on the results. Fi-nally, we apply the algorithm on field data collected in the Luy river catchment (Vi-etnam) to delineate saltwater intrusions. Our results show that the proper selection of timesteps and space discretization is essential to limit the computational cost while maintaining the accuracy of the posterior estimation. The selection of the prior distri-bution has a direct impact on fitting the observed data and is crucial to a realistic un-certainty quantification. The application of BEL1D for stochastic TDEM inversion is an efficient approach as it allows us to estimate the uncertainty at a limited cost.
Perceiving Immunity, Shaping Health: The “Perception of Body Immunity (PBI)” Scale

Published: February 2024

Objective: A growing body of research points to a possible link between health beliefs and physical health. In order to probe this link mechanistically and causally, there is a need to identify and measure specific health beliefs that can predict physical symptoms. In the present study, we address this need by developing and validating a novel scale to assess how people perceive their ability to cope with illnesses: the “Perception of Body's Immunity (PBI)” scale. Methods: Through three studies, we establish the PBI scale's validity, reliability, and its unique connection to various health indicators. Results: Study 1 (N= 206) demonstrates that the PBI scale has good internal consistency and structural validity. Study 2 (N= 132) replicates these findings. Notably, our results from both Studies exhibit significant associations between the PBI scale and physical health, specifically the experience of physical symptoms and daily functioning. This was especially evident among those with diverse clinical conditions (N=56). Finally, Study 3 (N= 87) reveals that PBI has good test-retest reliability, and prospectively predicts physical symptoms and daily functioning over time. Conclusions: We suggest that the PBI scale can be utilized as a valuable tool for researchers and healthcare providers, and provide insights into the interplay between beliefs and health outcomes.
Caught between autonomy, relatedness, and an uncertain future: Exploring what is important to adolescents

Adolescence is an important period of development, as adolescents explore who they are and want to be, while at the same time negotiating autonomy and relatedness within their social and cultural contexts. In this study, we examine the roles autonomy and relatedness play in the lives of N = 16 culturally diverse adolescents. Semi-structured interviews with adolescents of non-immigrant descent (n = 5), of second-generation immigrant descent (n = 5), and first-generation immigrants with experiences of flight (n = 6) were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Four themes were identified: 1) Family and friends are most important in life, 2) Autonomy is a developmental privilege you can earn, 3) Too much autonomy is bad for you – humans need rules, and 4) I am not in control over my own future, school is. The findings highlight relatedness as most important for adolescents from all backgrounds. The importance and negotiation of autonomy varied across the groups of adolescents, however all adolescents accepted the necessity of rules for personal and societal well-being. Findings further highlight the importance of dismantling classist and assimilationist structures embedded in the German school system to enhance the autonomy, well-being and success of adolescents with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
