Zanieczyszczenie świetlne na obszarze Tenczyńskiego Parku Krajobrazowego
Authors: Ściężor Tomasz , Czaplicka Anna , Kotra Aneta
Published: April 2023

Celem pracy jest scharakteryzowanie i ocena poziomu zanieczyszczenia świetlnego na terenie Tenczyńskiego Parku Krajobrazowego, znajdującego się w pobliżu dużych ośrodków miejskich. W obrębie parku żyje około 160 gatunków zwierząt chronionych. Wiele z nich zagrożonych jest wyginięciem, a zanieczyszczenie świetlne jest jednym z czynników przyczyniających się do tego procesu. Niektóre gatunki roślin mogą być również narażone na negatywny wpływ zanieczyszczenia świetlnego, poprzez zaburzenie ich cyklu wzrostu i kwitnienia, przez co nie zwabiają owadów w odpowiednim czasie.

W ramach pracy wykonano pomiary jasności powierzchniowej łuny świetlnej nocnego nieba na analizowanym obszarze, zarówno przy bezchmurnym jak też przy całkowicie zachmurzonym niebie. Dokonano analizy wykonanych pomiarów oraz porównano wyniki z mapą modelową. Określono potencjalny wpływ zanieczyszczenia świetlnego na zwierzęta występujące w Parku i jego otulinie. 

Stwierdzono, że we wschodniej części badanego obszaru jasność łuny świetlnej, pochodzącej od sąsiedniego Krakowa, znacząco przekracza poziom naturalny, co niewątpliwie ma wpływ na lokalne ekosystemy nocne.
Hydrogeological-geotechnical Characterization and Analysis for Construction of a Subsurface Reservoir at a Coastal Site in the Nakdong Deltaic Plain, Busan, South Korea
Authors: Giao Pham Huy , Park Namsik
Published: April 2023

Store and recover clean groundwater from a man-made subsurface reservoir is useful for the development of coastal cities. A full-scale pilot field test of managed aquifer recharge (MAR) schemes were conducted in the Nakdong River plain, Korea. The process involved constructing a hydrogeological-geotechnical model based on investigation data, including the target aquifer that was located between 30 and 67 meters deep. The subsurface response to water pumping was analyzed, and this led to the creation of charts to determine the maximum allowable injection pressure and maximum recharge rate. For two factors of safety of 1.5 and 2.0, the maximum injection head rise was estimated to be 9.7 meters and 7.25 meters, respectively, corresponding to recharge rates of 5,000 and 3,800 m3/d. One-dimensional FE consolidation analyses were conducted for different groundwater drawdowns (2, 5, 10 and 15 m) and the results showed a good match with the monitored settlement and rebound for the 2-meter drawdown case. The study concluded that the injection rate could potentially be much higher than what was tested, which would increase the capacity of the subsurface reservoir. The lessons learned from this study are useful for similar coastal sites in terms of the application of MAR technology.

Atlantic algae as food and their extracts
Authors: Pereira Leonel
Published: April 2023

Among the species of the rich algological flora of the North Atlantic, some can be used for direct consumption in human food, although few are currently cultivated on a large scale and/or marketed for this purpose. The European tradition regarding this custom is practically nil and the expression of current eating habits is little different from the past. In Europe, only in times of hunger (for example, during the Great World Wars) was seaweed consumed by the populations closest to the coastline. In addition to the multiple applications described, which expanded enormously in the 1970s, based on phycocolloids (agar, carrageenans, and alginates)—used as thickeners in the food industry, in soups, meat preserves, dairy products, and pastries—there is currently a trend of increasing consumption, both in North America and Europe.

Esta estructura puede revascularizarse en pacientes con hipertensión portal, siendo rara su trombosis y más aún en el contexto de una pancreatitis aguda, de los que hay muy pocos casos publicados.
From an Environmental Viewpoint Large ICT Networks Infrastructure Equipment must not be Reused
Authors: Andrae Anders S. G.
Published: April 2023

Circular strategies must and will vary for different product groups. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) will help show which is the best strategy in any given situation as not all Circular Economy initiatives lead to universal sustainability benefits. There is a misunderstanding that lifetime extension via remanufacturing and refurbishment is ecologically effective for Business’, ’to’, ’Business ICT goods like ICT network infrastructure (ICTNI) products. This is shown herein by typical relations between manufacturing and the use of environmental impact for ICTNI products as a function of the energy efficiency and lifetime of the product at hand and the next corresponding product model. Full LCA would come to the same conclusion, as the ratio between the use stage and the production stage will not change dramatically. To avoid doing very significant harm to the environment, older than 5 years ICTNI products must not be reused. The reasons are that the energy efficiency improvement rate of the following generation of most ICTNI products is constant, the lifetime is usually more than 10 years and the share of manufacturing environmental impact will be relatively low even when low environmental impact electric power is used for the operation.

An Electronic-based Simulator for Intramuscular Injection in Newborns
Authors: Chanita Tantacharoenrat  , Monamorn Precharattana
Published: April 2023

Injection is an essential skill for nurses. In nurse education, simulators assist learning of nursing students. There are various types of simulators for practicing intramuscular injections in neonates. However, cost, time, and ability to provide formative feedback to learners remain issues in many simulators for nursing education. Intramuscular injection in a newborn is significantly different from other ages and simulator for this purpose is lacking.Methods: This pilot study aims to present the design and development of an electronic simulator as an instructional tool for a nursing student to practicing newborns’ intramuscular injection and to examine its effectiveness.Results: An electronic-based simulator for a newborn’s intramuscular injection was designed and developed. The simulator contains three parts: 1) a manikin with an injection area that is made of soft silicone; 2) a box of an electrical circuit, and 3) an injection kit. By using a semi-structured interview technique, we show that the developed simulator is helpful for learning injection skill due to feedback of formative assessment.Conclusion: The proposed electronic-based simulator is a prototype of an instructional tool for a nursing student to practicing newborns’ intramuscular injection. However, based on the user comments and suggestions, the weight of the proposed simulator, its safety, and its pattern in giving feedback are needed to be improved in future studies.

Published: April 2023

Obtaining bound states in the continuum (BICs) in photonic crystals gives rise to the realization of resonances with high quality factors for lasing and nonlinear applications. For BIC cavities in finite-size photonic crystals, the bulk resonance band turns into discrete modes with different mode profiles and radiation patterns. Here, photonic-crystal BIC cavities encircled by the photonic bandgap of lateral heterostructures are designed. The mirror-like photonic bandgap exhibits strong side leakage suppression to confine the mode profile in the designed cavity. Multiple bulk quantized modes are observed both in simulation and experiment. After exciting the BIC cavity at different positions, different resonance peaks are observed. The physical origin of the dependence between the resonance peak and the illuminating position is explained by analyzing the mode profile distribution and further verified by numerical simulations. Our findings have potential applications regarding the mode selectivity in BIC devices to manipulate the lasing mode in photonic-crystal surface-emitting lasers or the radiation pattern in nonlinear optics.
A new oxidatively stable ligand for the chiral functionalization of amino acids in Ni(II)–Schiff base complexes
Authors: Dmitrieva Alena V , Levitskiy Oleg A , Grishin Yuri K , Magdesieva Tatiana V
Published: April 2023

A new oxidatively stable (S)-N-benzylproline-derived ligand ((S)-N-(2-benzoyl-5-tert-butylphenyl)-1-benzylpyrrolidine-2-carboxamide) and its Ni(II)–Schiff base complexes formed of glycine, serine, and dehydroalanine are reported. A bulky tert-butyl substituent in the phenylene fragment precludes unwanted oxidative dimerization of the Schiff base complex, making it suitable for targeted electrochemically induced oxidative modification of the amino acid side chain. Experimental and DFT studies showed that the additional tert-butyl group increases the dispersion interactions in the Ni coordination environment making the complexes more conformationally rigid and provides a higher level of thermodynamically controlled stereoselectivity as compared to the parent Belokon complex. Additionally, functionalization with the tert-butyl group significantly enhances the reactivity of the deprotonated glycine complex towards electrophiles as compared to the anionic species formed from the original Belokon complex. Solubility of the t-Bu-containing ligand and its Schiff base complexes is increased, facilitating scaling-up the reaction procedure and isolation of the functionalized amino acid.
Long-Term Functional Consequences of Treatment of Fractures of the Distal Metaepiphysis of the Radius
Authors: Naumenko L.Yu. , Mametiev A.O. , Vinnyk O.O.
Published: April 2023

Summary. The frequency of damage to the distal metaepiphysis of the radius reaches from 16% to 33% of all fractures of the bones of the skeleton, and the increase in the incidence  of  osteoporosis  definitely  maintains  the  tendency  to  increase  the  frequency of  damage  to  this  localization.  About  53.3% of  the  injured  need  repositioning;  half of them (26.6%) have large unstable fractures of type B and C, which  are  subject to surgical treatment.

Materials and Methods. The study was carried out based on the materials of the trauma centers and trauma departments of the  “City Clinical Hospital No. 2” of the DCC (Dnipro) and the MNPE “City Clinical Hospital No. 6” of the DCC (Dnipro). To assess the long-term consequences, a retrospective  analysis  of  archive records of 318 patients with damage to the distal metaepiphysis of the radius was performed, including 271 radiographs of females (85.2%) and 47 males (14.8%).

Results. The conducted analysis gives grounds to  state  that  remote  manifestations depend on the nature and severity of fractures, the quality of reposition or  surgical treatment. Fractures of type A and C have a pronounced tendency  to  develop manifestations of deforming arthrosis of the radiocarpal joint in the remote period after the injury, which may be due to the  presence of  incongruity of  the  articular surfaces against the background of residual “permissible” displacements of the fragments.

Conclusions. Ensuring accurate repositioning of fractures and expanding the indications for surgical treatment in case of “permissible” displacement of bone fragments in fractures of the distal metaepiphysis of the radial bone will reduce the frequency and severity of arthrosis in the remote period after the injury.
On “historical unity” of Russian and Ukrainian: A linguistic perspective on language conflict and change
Authors: Murphy Anyssa , Whalen Lex , Dubinsky Stanley , Gavin Michael , Bailyn John F. , Ginn Jackson
Published: April 2023

This paper focuses on Putin’s (2021) misguided claim regarding “historical [linguistic] unity” of Russian and Ukrainian. Their being two distinct languages is not in question, as opposed (for example) to Serbian and Croatian. However, it is important to substantiate the objective reality of those differences, taking a strong stand against unjustified claims about linguistic [unity] where there are no grounds for them. Implementing a Python-coded algorithm, like those described in Nerbonne & Kretzschmar 2013, we calculate Levenshtein distance between frequency-based word lists, in a manner sensitive to both organic and contact-induced change, to fully reveal Ukrainian’s complex relationship with both Russian and Polish.
Measure phrase modification in name adjective constructions in Mandarin
Authors: Sun Ling
Published: April 2023

Much research has shown that measure phrases elicit an asymmetry in acceptability between positive vs. negative members of gradable adjective antonym pairs (3m tall vs. *3m short) (Kennedy 1999; Schwarzschild 2005, and others). As in other languages, the measure phrase in Mandarin yi mi ‘1 meter’ is accepted as direct modifier of gao ‘tall’ and rejected by the negative antonym ai ‘short’. However, when the adjective combines with name ‘so’, this measure phrase is accepted by both positive and negative adjectives. In addition, name adjective expressions are ambiguous between two readings. Namely, the surprise reading and the equative reading. This paper accounts for the new data with two proposals: (1) name is a presupposition filter; (2) There is a silent morpheme Vec in name adjective expressions, which is in complementary distribution with overt measure phrases.
Juggling arguments: VSVO and other word orders in Hul’q’umi’num’ Salish SVCs
Authors: Schneider Lauren
Published: April 2023

This paper investigates the word order of serial-verb constructions in Hul’q’umi’num’ Salish. Hul’q’umi’num’ SVCs are monoclausal constructions consisting of two or more verbs that can function as independent lexical verbs, have matching aspect, share one or more arguments, and are not connected by any linking element. Two-verb SVCs may consist of transitive and intransitive verbs. The first question concerns subject and object NP placement. For constructions with two overt NPs, an alternating VSVO pattern is both preferred in elicitation, and the only order occurring in the corpus. Only shared arguments may intervene between the verb components. Hul’q’umi’num’ SVCs exhibit flexible word order in elicitation, but certain grammatical word orders generate ambiguity. Various pragmatic strategies work together to prevent or rescue ambiguous constructions. SVCs are an understudied feature of Central Salish languages; thus investigation of this topic broadens the scope of the current literature.
Honorific titles are D
Authors: Nomoto Hiroki
Published: April 2023

This study proposes a hypothesis that honorific titles such as English Mr and Japanese san occupy the D head position and discusses its consequences to the syntax and semantics of nominals. Seven pieces of supporting evidence are presented using data from various languages. If the proposed hypothesis is correct, (i) nominals in languages without articles are not NP but DP, (ii) proper names cannot be D but N, and (iii) a semantic parameter concerning the basic denotation of common nouns such as Chierchia's (1998) Nominal Mapping Parameter is unnecessary.
On the ‘subject’ honorific -si- in Korean
Authors: Kim Yoolim , Findlay Jamie Y.
Published: April 2023

Korean is one of several languages that has a system of honorification, whereby a speaker can express (their desired interpretation of) their relative social standing with respect to others via morphosyntactic marking. Alongside the question of what honorification means (what it contributes to the communicative content of an utterance), there is another, less well-studied question: how is the target of honorification identified? Often this is taken to be a syntactic question, where  honorification is treated as a kind of agreement. We present several arguments as to why this is not the correct approach. Instead, we advocate for a semantic/pragmatic solution. We take as our case study one marker of honorification in Korean, the morpheme -si-, which is often called a ‘subject honorific’ because it supposedly targets/honors the subject of the verb it appears on. It is well known, however, that this is an inadequate characterisation, and here we present further evidence that this cannot be the correct description of its role. Instead, we argue that the target of -si- is the human referent which is ‘closest’ to the subject in terms of the pragmatic relation of PROXIMITY, thus accounting for both the canonical uses and other potentially puzzling uses.
The Recursive Set-Subset Ordering Principle orders adjectives and relative clauses in visual context
Authors: Bleotu Adina Camelia , Foucault Deborah , Roeper Tom
Published: April 2023

We present evidence from two picture-matching experiments that native adult speakers of American English order and interpret sequences of nouns modified by adjectives/relative clauses containing adjectives in line with the Recursive Set-Subset Ordering Principle proposed in Bleotu & Roeper (2022a, b) and Bleotu, Foucault, & Roeper (2023). This principle ensures an automatic mapping of set-subset semantics to a recursive syntax in Universal Grammar, such that set modifiers are merged closer to the noun than subset modifiers: leaves (N) that are short (SET) that are long (SUBSET) or short (SET) leaves (N) that are long (SUBSET). We here expand upon the interpretation and ordering of set-subset modification to elucidate the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic interface.
On the auditory identifiability of Asian American identity in speech: The role of listener background, sociolinguistic awareness, and language ideologies
Authors: Chang Charles B. , Fraser Kate
Published: April 2023

The current study examined the auditory identifiability of Asian American ethnoracial identity, including the role of listener characteristics and ideologies. Results of an identification experiment showed that the overall accuracy of ethnoracial identification on (East and Southeast) Asian talkers was low, but not the lowest among talker groups and not significantly different from accuracy on Black talkers. There were also significant effects of listeners' ethnoracial identity, gender, and linguistic chauvinism (i.e., disfavoring linguistic diversity in the US). In particular, being Asian or a woman was associated with a higher likelihood of accuracy, whereas greater linguistic chauvinism was, to an extent, associated with a lower likelihood of accuracy. Results of a discrimination experiment additionally showed an effect of listeners' awareness of ethnoracially-based language variation: having this awareness was associated with a higher likelihood of accuracy on discrimination trials with one or more Asian talkers. Taken together, these findings converge with previous results showing an effect of the listener's background on ethnoracial perception and further implicate the listener's sociolinguistic awareness and ideologies.

Published: April 2023

Even though Asian countries are expected to become a dominant market for organic foods in the coming years, there are few studies which focused on young Asian consumers’ organic food purchase behaviour. This study aims to investigate how attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, and health concerns influence consumers’ intention to purchase and consume organic foods. A purposive sampling method was adopted for this study and a total of 289 usable questionnaires were collected for empirical testing of the postulated hypotheses using SPSS and structural equation modelling (SEM). The results showed that attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control and health concern positively influenced intention. In addition, subjective norm positively influenced attitude while attitude played a partial mediation effect on the relationship between subjective norm and intention. Lastly, the theoretical and practical implications as well as the limitations of the study are discussed.

Type II deiodinase (DIO2) is thought to provide triiodothyronine (T3) to the nucleus to meet intracellular needs by deiodinating the prohormone thyroxine. DIO2 is expressed widely in many tissues and plays an important role in a variety of physiological processes, such as controlling T3 content in developing tissues (e.g., bone, muscles, and skin) and the adult brain, and regulating adaptive thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT). However, the identification and cloning of DIO2 have been challenging. In recent years, several clinical investigations have focused on the Thr92Ala polymorphism, which is closely correlated with clinical syndromes such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and osteoarthritis. Thr92Ala-DIO2 was also found to be related to bone and neurodegenerative diseases and tumors. However, relatively few reviews have synthesized research on individual deiodinases, especially DIO2, in the past 5 years. This review summarizes current knowledge regarding the physiological functions of DIO2 in thyroid hormone signaling and adaptive thermogenesis in BAT and the brain, as well as the associations between Thr92Ala-DIO2 and bone and neurodegenerative diseases and tumors. This discussion is expected to provide insights into the physiological functions of DIO2 and the clinical syndromes associated with Thr92Ala-DIO2.

Background: Persistence with denosumab in male patients has not been adequately investigated, although poor denosumab persistence is associated with a significant risk of rebound vertebral fractures.Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 294 Korean male osteoporosis patients treated with denosumab at three medical centers and examined their persistence with four doses of denosumab injection over 24 months of treatment. Persistence was defined as the extent to which a patient adhered to denosumab treatment in terms of the prescribed interval and dose, with a permissible gap of 8 weeks. For patients who missed their scheduled treatment appointment(s) during the follow-up period (i.e., no-shows), Cox proportional regression analysis was conducted to explore the factors associated with poor adherence. Several factors were considered, such as age, prior anti-osteoporotic drug use, the treatment provider’s medical specialty, the proximity to the medical center, and financial burdens of treatment.Results: Out of 294 male patients, 77 (26.2%) completed all four sequential rounds of the denosumab treatment. Out of 217 patients who did not complete the denosumab treatment, 138 (63.6%) missed the scheduled treatment(s). Missing treatment was significantly associated with age (odds ratio [OR], 1.03), prior bisphosphonate use (OR, 0.76), and prescription by non-endocrinologists (OR, 2.24). Denosumab was stopped in 44 (20.3%) patients due to medical errors, in 24 (11.1%) patients due to a T-score improvement over –2.5, and in five (2.3%) patients due to expected dental procedures.Conclusion: Our study showed that only one-fourth of Korean male osteoporosis patients were fully adherent to 24 months of denosumab treatment.
New Insights into Calorie Restriction Induced Bone Loss
Authors: Liu Linyi , Rosen Clifford J.
Published: April 2023

Caloric restriction (CR) is now a popular lifestyle choice due to its ability in experimental animals to improve lifespan, reduce body weight, and lessen oxidative stress. However, more and more emerging evidence suggests this treatment requires careful consideration because of its detrimental effects on the skeletal system. Experimental and clinical studies show that CR can suppress bone growth and raise the risk of fracture, but the specific mechanisms are poorly understood. Reduced mechanical loading has long been thought to be the primary cause of weight loss-induced bone loss from calorie restriction. Despite fat loss in peripheral depots with calorie restriction, bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) increases, and this may play a significant role in this pathological process. Here, we update recent advances in our understanding of the effects of CR on the skeleton, the possible pathogenic role of BMAT in CR-induced bone loss, and some strategies to mitigate any potential side effects on the skeletal system.

INNOVATION UNDER AN UMBRELLA: HOW CAN BLOCKCHAIN CONTRIBUTE TO CORPORATE INNOVATION IN THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION
Authors: Zhang Runze , Chen Xi , Li Zhijun , Qiu Peiyang
Published: April 2023

In the age of globalization, enterprises have faced new challenges and opportunities for innovative behavior. Increasing cultural exchanges provide enterprises with a wealth of information and knowledge, but also exacerbate the risk of information loss. Therefore, information security has become an increasingly critical issue. Blockchain technology is an effective guarantee for the success of enterprise innovation in such circumstances. Enterprises can access information across national boundaries and avoid the risk of a cultural clash or a leak of information due to the security and traceability of blockchain technology. In the era of globalization, blockchain technology has become an umbrella for enterprises to exploit cultural diversity. This study presents a DDD model that illustrates how blockchain firms can benefit from cultural diversity to produce innovative products. Specifically, firms that utilize blockchain increase their innovation output by 36.17% compared to those that do not. Additionally, it explores how firms can benefit from the spillover of external knowledge and how traditional models of R&D through equipment purchases give way to new models of bringing in talent for knowledge exchange using blockchain. The model presented in this study provides a novel theoretical perspective on how emerging technologies affect corporate innovation, emphasizing the importance of blockchain technology to corporate innovation in an era of globalization with increasing cultural exchanges. It also provides a new perspective on the application of emerging technologies.
