Published: January 2023

Background

Native American youth, primarily living on reservations, suffer the highest burden of suicide of any racial group in the USA. Implementation and sustainability of culturally grounded, evidence-based interventions are needed to address suicide in Native American populations. For nearly 40 years, Montana has ranked at or near the top nationwide for suicide. Fort Peck Tribal leadership declared a state of emergency in 2010 after six suicides and 20 attempts that occurred over a 5-month period.

Methods

We used a community-based participatory research approach for adapting the Celebrating Life (CL) program with a specific focus on long-term sustainability, which has demonstrated efficacy in addressing suicide with the White Mountain Apache. The aims were to (1) adapt the CL program intake forms through roundtable discussions, (2) conduct asset and resource mapping to identify community and cultural resources to leverage for the CL program within the Fort Peck context, and (3) develop a sustainability plan for CL in Fort Peck through qualitative approaches informed by the Program Sustainability Assessment Tool.

Results

Roundtable discussions resulted in adapted intake forms that capture variables relevant to the Fort Peck context. Asset mapping identified 13 community assets and 10 cultural resources to incorporate within the CL implementation process. Focus group discussions yielded four key themes that were incorporated into a plan for sustainability: (1) strategic partnerships, (2) long-term funding, (3) communication planning, and (4) workforce planning and engagement.

Conclusions

This paper outlines an avenue for using culturally adapted tools to design an implementation system driven by community and cultural assets within tribal communities and for integrating program planning for sustainability early in the implementation process.

Published: January 2023

Background

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia in the elderly, is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that gradually affects cognitive function and eventually causes death. Most approved drugs can only treat the disease alleviating the disease symptoms; therefore, there is a need to develop drugs that can treat this illness holistically. The medical community is searching for new drugs and new drug targets to cure this disease. In this study, QSAR, molecular docking evaluation, and ADMET/pharmacokinetics assessment were used as modeling methods to identify the compounds with outstanding physicochemical properties.

Results

The 37 MAO-B compounds were screened using the aforementioned methods and yielded a model with the following molecular properties: AATS1v, AATS3v, GATS4m, and GATS6e. Good statistical values were R2train = 0.69, R2adj = 0.63, R2pred = 0.57, LOF = 0.23, and RMSE = 0.38. The model was validated using an evaluation set that confirmed its robustness. The molecular docking was also utilized using crystal structure of human monoamine oxidase B in complex with chlorophenylchromone-carboxamide with ID code of 6FW0, and three compounds were identified with outstanding high binding affinity (13 = − 30.51 kcal mol−1, 31 = − 31.85 kcal mol−1, and 33 = − 33.70 kcal mol−1), and better than the Eldepryl (referenced) drug (− 11.40 kcal mol−1).

Conclusions

These three compounds (13, 31, and 33) were analyzed for ADMET/pharmacokinetics evaluation and found worthy of further analysis as promising drug candidates to cure AD and could also serve as a template to design several monoamine oxidase B inhibitors in the future to cure AD.

Published: January 2023

Integrated silicon photonics has sparked a significant ramp-up of investment in both academia and industry as a scalable, power-efficient, and eco-friendly solution. At the heart of this platform is the light source, which in itself, has been the focus of research and development extensively. This paper sheds light and conveys our perspective on the current state-of-the-art in different aspects of application-driven on-chip silicon lasers. We tackle this from two perspectives: device-level and system-wide points of view. In the former, the different routes taken in integrating on-chip lasers are explored from different material systems to the chosen integration methodologies. Then, the discussion focus is shifted towards system-wide applications that show great prospects in incorporating photonic integrated circuits (PIC) with on-chip lasers and active devices, namely, optical communications and interconnects, optical phased array-based LiDAR, sensors for chemical and biological analysis, integrated quantum technologies, and finally, optical computing. By leveraging the myriad inherent attractive features of integrated silicon photonics, this paper aims to inspire further development in incorporating PICs with on-chip lasers in, but not limited to, these applications for substantial performance gains, green solutions, and mass production.
Metal Halide Perovskite for next-generation optoelectronics: progresses and prospects
Authors: Dong He , Ran Chenxin , Gao Weiyin , Li Mingjie , Xia Yingdong , Huang Wei
Published: January 2023

Metal halide perovskites (MHPs), emerging as innovative and promising semiconductor materials with prominent optoelectronic properties, has been pioneering a new era of light management (ranging from emission, absorption, modulation, to transmission) for next-generation optoelectronic technology. Notably, the exploration of fundamental characteristics of MHPs and their devices is the main research theme during the past decade, while in the next decade, it will be primarily critical to promote their implantation in the next-generation optoelectronics. In this review, we first retrospect the historical research milestones of MHPs and their optoelectronic devices. Thereafter, we introduce the origin of the unique optoelectronic features of MHPs, based on which we highlight the tunability of these features via regulating the phase, dimensionality, composition, and geometry of MHPs. Then, we show that owing to the convenient property control of MHPs, various optoelectronic devices with target performance can be designed. At last, we emphasize on the revolutionary applications of MHPs-based devices on the existing optoelectronic systems. This review demonstrates the key role of MHPs played in the development of modern optoelectronics, which is expected to inspire the novel research directions of MHPs and promote the widespread applications of MHPs in the next-generation optoelectronics.
Silicone stent placement using a rigid bronchoscope via a tracheostoma in a patient with postpneumonectomy syndrome

Published: January 2023

Background

Silicone stents are options for airway stenosis or obstruction. Generally, silicone stent placement needs rigid bronchoscopy, but manipulation of a rigid bronchoscope has technical difficulties in some cases. The objective of this clinical case report is to highlight silicone stent placement with a rigid bronchoscope successfully achieved by changing the insertion from the mouth to the tracheostoma in a patient with postpneumonectomy syndrome.

Case presentation

A 47-year-old man underwent right-side pneumonectomy 30 years previously, and he had an intubation tube inserted through a tracheostoma for 29 years to maintain the lumen for bronchial stenosis due to postpneumonectomy syndrome. A granuloma grew at the distal end of intubation tube, and he had labored breathing with stridor. Rigid bronchoscopy for silicone stent placement via the mouth failed because of airway curvature. We sequentially tried rigid bronchoscopy via the tracheostoma as an alternative, and we could easily insert the scope into the left secondary carina and place the silicone stent.

Conclusion

Although strong airway curvature with tracheostomy is an uncommon situation, we succeeded silicone stent placement using a rigid bronchoscope via the tracheostoma. Insertion of a rigid bronchoscope via the tracheostoma instead of via the mouth could be an option.
Ultrahigh-resolution shear-wave reflection imaging of vertical-component data in a quick-clay prone to landslide area in southwest Sweden
Authors: Pertuz Tatiana , Malehmir Alireza
Published: January 2023

We have investigated the potential of ultrahigh-resolution seismic reflection imaging of vertical-component data to identify hazardous conditions in a quick-clay landslide area in southwest Sweden. A high-fold survey with a fine shot and receiver spacing has been acquired using a 5 kg sledgehammer, vertical hit, with the objective of producing a high-quality unaliased shear-wave reflection section retrieved from vertical-component data. On the receiver side, 1C wireless recorders are deployed in a fixed geometry juxtaposed to a landstreamer of 3C-microelectro mechanical system (MEMS)-based units, which recorded in a roll strategy to cover most of the profile length. Particle motion analysis of main reflections has been conducted on the 3C MEMS sensors, given their side-by-side location with the wireless recorders, to inspect the wave polarization. Distinct shear-wave reflections in an extremely slow shear velocity medium (70–100 m/s) imply a vertical super resolution of 1–2 m down to a bedrock level of 40 m deep. Interestingly and as shown in earlier studies, quick clays appear to overlie the coarse-grained horizons justifying why their high-resolution imaging can be significant for quick-clay landslide studies and a better understanding of potential risks. Two shallow reflections are delineated through a combination of first-break traveltime tomography for P and S waves and reflection seismic processing for P- and S-reflections of the vertical-component data. After seismic imaging and borehole data correlation, the shallowest reflection is interpreted to be from coarse-grained materials interbedded within normally consolidated clays and the deepest one from an undulating bedrock. Interpretations of the S-S processing outcomes indicate that the coarse-grained layers are not homogeneous because of the generation of strong shear-wave diffractions, suggesting the presence of either large boulders or patchy sandy-silty conditions.
Effective elastic properties and S-wave anisotropy for rocks containing any oriented penny-shaped cracks in transversely isotropic background
Authors: Li Shengqing , Wang Wenhao , Su Yuanda , Guo Junxin
Published: January 2023

Fractures have a significant influence on rock elastic properties. The existing elastic models for cracked medium mainly consider the crack dip angle. In this work, based on the previous transversely isotropic (TI) background and arbitrary dip crack model, a theoretical model is derived using the Bond transform matrix to quantify the effects of any oriented penny-shaped cracks on the elastic properties of rocks with a TI background. Based on this model, the effects of crack orientation on rock elastic properties are studied. Particularly, a special case with random crack orientation is investigated by using the spherical averaging of the crack compliance matrix with any orientations. Furthermore, the S-wave anisotropy for rocks containing multiple crack sets also is analyzed. The results indicate that the crack orientation has a great influence on rock elastic properties. Especially, the rock elastic properties indicate nonlinear changes with crack azimuth angles when cracks are inclined with respect to the TI background isotropic plane. The randomly oriented cracks decrease the overall rock elastic moduli but have little effect on rock anisotropy. For rocks containing multiple crack sets, parallel crack sets have great effects on the S-wave anisotropy, whereas the effects of orthogonal crack sets are negligible. Using this model, a complete workflow for the inversion of fracture properties using field data measured by acoustic logging is introduced. To explain the effect of crack azimuth angle, the crack density is inverted without considering crack orientation, only considering crack dip angle, and considering both crack dip and azimuth angles. The results indicate that the inversion results considering the crack dip and azimuth angles are in good agreement with the resistivity imaging results. This work provides the theoretical basis for fracture properties inversion for rocks with a TI background.
Estimating S-wave statics from a PS-receiver-stack image
Authors: Sun Yimin , Almubarak Mohammed S. , Dolgov Victor
Published: January 2023

Estimating converted-wave (S-wave) statics is a difficult challenge in reality, but it is crucial for the final success of PS-wave processing and imaging. A novel and practical method is introduced to directly estimate the S-wave statics from a PS-receiver-stack image. Before a PS data set is stacked to a PS-receiver-stack image, available source-side P-wave statics and common-conversion-point normal-moveout (NMO) correction are applied, so we only need to estimate an S-wave static value for each trace in this PS-receiver-stack image. For the corresponding PP data set, the PP-receiver stack is generated by stacking the NMO-corrected gathers with source- and receiver-side P-wave statics applied. We select a target event on the PP-receiver-stack image and convert it to a PS-guidance structure via available P-to-S velocity conversions. Because the target PS event on our PS-receiver-stack image only has source-side P-wave statics applied, the time differences between this PS-guidance structure and the target PS event on the PS-receiver-stack image are actually the outstanding receiver-side S-wave statics. By aligning this PS target event to its corresponding PS-guidance structure, the S-wave statics for this PS data set are retrieved. A challenging field data set is used as an example to demonstrate the robustness of our new S-wave statics estimation method.

PURPOSE

In patients with diffuse low-grade glioma (LGG), the extent of surgical tumor resection (EOR) has a controversial role, in part because a randomized clinical trial with different levels of EOR is not feasible.

METHODS

In a 20-year retrospective cohort of 392 patients with IDH-mutant grade 2 glioma, we analyzed the combined effects of volumetric EOR and molecular and clinical factors on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival by recursive partitioning analysis. The OS results were validated in two external cohorts (n = 365). Propensity score analysis of the combined cohorts (n = 757) was used to mimic a randomized clinical trial with varying levels of EOR.

RESULTS

Recursive partitioning analysis identified three survival risk groups. Median OS was shortest in two subsets of patients with astrocytoma: those with postoperative tumor volume (TV) > 4.6 mL and those with preoperative TV > 43.1 mL and postoperative TV ≤ 4.6 mL. Intermediate OS was seen in patients with astrocytoma who had chemotherapy with preoperative TV ≤ 43.1 mL and postoperative TV ≤ 4.6 mL in addition to oligodendroglioma patients with either preoperative TV > 43.1 mL and residual TV ≤ 4.6 mL or postoperative residual volume > 4.6 mL. Longest OS was seen in astrocytoma patients with preoperative TV ≤ 43.1 mL and postoperative TV ≤ 4.6 mL who received no chemotherapy and oligodendroglioma patients with preoperative TV ≤ 43.1 mL and postoperative TV ≤ 4.6 mL. EOR ≥ 75% improved survival outcomes, as shown by propensity score analysis.

CONCLUSION

Across both subtypes of LGG, EOR beginning at 75% improves OS while beginning at 80% improves progression-free survival. Nonetheless, maximal resection with preservation of neurological function remains the treatment goal. Our findings have implications for surgical strategies for LGGs, particularly oligodendroglioma.

Authors: Gopal Janani , Haldar Rudrashish , Mayilvaganan Sabaretnam , Dengre Anshika
Published: January 2023

A 35-year-old female patient was scheduled for a left hemithyroidectomy. We performed bilateral cervical plexus blocks with ultrasound guidance for an awake thyroidectomy. Soon after the blocks, she developed a weak voice, which gradually progressed to complete aphonia. Due to her apprehension, general anesthesia was administered. After an uneventful surgery, the patient spontaneously regained her normal voice in the postoperative period. The case report describes a previously unreported complication of aphonia presumably due to bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve blocks, which might have occurred from the infiltrated local anesthetic extravasating to the deeper planes through the cervical fascia.
Perioperative Management of a Patient With Severe Cold Agglutinin Disease Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty With a Cemented Stem: A Case Report
Authors: Yamaguchi Takumi , Hirate Hiroyuki , Kusano Taiki , Inagaki Yukiko
Published: January 2023

Patients with cold agglutinin disease who undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA) are rarely encountered. Patients with cold agglutinin disease are very sensitive to cold ambient temperatures and require scrupulous perioperative body-temperature management. However, THA requires a cementing procedure that exposes patients to cold temperatures during surgery and may result in autoimmune hemolytic anemia in these patients. Thus, perioperative management of patients with cold agglutinin disease undergoing THA requires more than just scrupulous systemic temperature management. Here, we present the successful perioperative management of a patient with severe cold agglutinin disease who underwent THA with a cemented stem.

Published: January 2023

A 50-year-old man with muscle-invasive bladder cancer was scheduled for a robotic radical cystectomy. Four hours into the surgery, his electrocardiogram showed rhythm disturbances. Arterial blood gas analysis showed a serum potassium concentration of 6.6 mEq/L. Hyperkalemia was managed immediately with intravenous 10% calcium gluconate, insulin, and glucose administrations, and levosalbutamol was administered through the tracheal tube. Subsequently, normal sinus rhythm returned. The procedure was completed after conversion to an open surgery. The postoperative serum potassium concentration was reduced to 4.6 mEq/L, and the patient was extubated. The remainder of his hospital stay was uneventful.
A Case Report of an Incidental Ultrasound Finding in a Suspected Malignant Hyperthermia Patient
Authors: Fu Pei-Han , Ho Chun-Ning
Published: January 2023

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare but life-threatening genetic disorder of the skeletal muscles triggered by inhalation anesthetics or succinylcholine. A 49-year-old female developed symptoms of MH shortly after a lumbar surgery. Despite being insidious, MH was diagnosed based on the clinical grading scale. We incidentally discovered fine fasciculations in extremities while inserting an ultrasound-guided arterial catheter. On receiving dantrolene, her symptoms improved within 20 minutes; a subsequent ultrasound revealed no fasciculations. Although halothane contracture testing was not available, the fasciculations that resolved with dantrolene administration in a MH suspected patient opens up a new potential avenue of diagnostics.
Chinese culture became more individualistic: Evidence from family structure, 1953-2017
Authors: Ogihara Yuji
Published: January 2023

Previous research has indicated that some aspects of Chinese culture became more individualistic. However, prior studies have suggested a decrease in individualism in other aspects of China. Thus, it was unclear whether China became more individualistic. Therefore, the current research investigated whether Chinese culture became more individualistic by examining historical changes in family structure. Specifically, I analyzed temporal shifts in the divorce rate and household size, which have been confirmed as valid representative indicators of individualism. Results showed that the divorce rate increased between 1978 and 2017 and household size decreased between 1953 and 2017, indicating a rise in individualism. Moreover, analyses suggested that the one-child policy was unlikely the sole and major factor in the decrease in household size. Additionally, the aggregated score of divorce rate and household size demonstrated a clear increase in individualism. Therefore, the present research provided further evidence of the rise in individualism in China.

The effect of excessive homocysteine concentration in human blood, on the cells and tissues of the body is very complex. The effect associated with the induction of oxidative stress and disruption of the biochemical balance of the intracellular space has a negative impact on the physiology of cells and the regularity of their functioning by changing their metabolism. This may result in the formation and development of atherosclerotic lesions, disorders in the coagulation system leading to thrombosis and, consequently, embolism, pathological changes in the central nervous system, which may translate into the formation of mental disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, depression and dementia. In addition, hyperhomocysteinemia affects the possible pathologies and complications of pregnancy associated with them, as well as the implications for fetal development if its aforementioned condition. The work presented here outlines the mechanisms that determine the formation of the aforementioned disease entities as a result of too much homocysteine and the clinical significance of these relationships. With the development of science and the increasing number of publications related to the impact of hyperhomocysteinemia on diverse disease entities, there are voices suggesting the inclusion of studies on homocysteine concentrations in body fluids in screening as risk factors for the development of these diseases or using them for their control and treatment.
El problema del discurso en el contexto de la rutina digital(English).
Authors: Dydrov Artur , Penner Regina
Published: January 2023

La rutina digital, asociada a la difusión total de las tecnologías de la comunicación, desafía las prácticas discursivas existentes. La génesis de nuevas realidades conlleva problemas no sólo metodológicos, sino también lingüísticos. En particular, se cuestionan los discursos antropológicos tradicionales que pretendían describir a una persona, definir su esencia, naturaleza, posición en el espacio, etc. El posthumanismo intenta abandonar el tesauro conceptual y terminológico habitual (humanista, antropocéntrico) y vuelve a plantear la cuestión de la persona y su posición en el mundo. Tanto los discursos tradicionales como el poshumanismo de moda necesitan una reflexión filosófica con la formulación de cuestiones especiales inherentes a ella. El foco de atención de la antropología digital moderna es una persona que ha creado una nueva realidad y se está transformando bajo la influencia del entorno tecnológico. Determinar el espectro y la naturaleza de estas transformaciones es un problema interdisciplinario y, en particular, filosófico. El estudio de nuevas realidades requiere una comprensión clara de todas las direcciones posibles de la reflexión filosófica y las posibilidades de su contribución conceptual a la solución de los problemas antropológicos. El propósito del artículo es identificar áreas productivas potenciales de comprensión filosófica de cuestiones antropológicas en el contexto de la rutina digital. Las direcciones de conceptualización filosófica de las cuestiones antropológicas en la rutina digital se correlacionan con la estructura científica y filosófica (niveles ontológicos, sociofilosófico, antropológico, axiológico) e incluyen casos específicos de Estudios de Internet (niveles práctico y aplicado). El problema de la transformación de valores en la cultura digital, la influencia de los contenidos de Internet en los mecanismos de socialización, las modificaciones de la memoria cultural, la investigación científica, el problema de encontrar una nueva dimensión de la subjetividad, la evaluación de las oportunidades y amenazas del entorno digital, la formación de la alfabetización digital en las condiciones del capitalismo en red, la modificación de las prácticas culturales tradicionales son direcciones posibles para la investigación interdisciplinaria y, en particular, la práctica filosófica que responda al pensamiento y comportamiento de la nueva persona. Palabras clave: rutina digital, antropología digital, alfabetización digital, Estudios de Internet, posthumanismo, identidad digital.

JOY HARJO'S ETHICAL MODES OF BEHAVIOR TOWARD THE LAND.
Authors: García Navarro Carmen
Published: January 2023

Joy Harjo’s poetry may be used to reflect on how various cultural traditions experience the concept of “We” with regards to other species and the environment, for which creative forms of responsibility should be articulated. Today, humans and non-humans alike face numerous and significant challenges and threats that are becoming increasingly apparent in the specific context of climate change and environmental degradation. Harjo’s work raises concerns about the impact that current global crises are having on the environment and our relationship to places, and consequently, our sense of belonging. This article discusses the relevance of some of Harjo’s poetry for increasing consciousness about the earth’s vulnerability and the need for environmental justice, which may be found in small but fundamental acts of caring
CONSTRUING ACTS OF VOICING IN CHRISTINA DALCHER'S VOX THROUGH VULNERABILITY METAPHORS.
Authors: Anastasaki Elena , Kitsiou Roula
Published: January 2023

In the digital era, and especially in the context of the fourth industrial revolution, where everyone’s digitally mediated voice can, potentially, reach the entire world, Dalcher’s dystopian novel, Vox, expresses a very real fear of being silenced. In modern America, 1 a purist movement voted into power has silenced all women and girls overnight. The novel investigates the intersection of physicality and the immateriality of spoken words. The narrator’s voice, sober but without restriction, contrasts sharply with the limitations imposed around her and uncovers the silent horror of a dystopian America where half the population has lost all rights of self -disposal, both physical and discursive. Employing the conceptual metaphor theory of Lakoff and Johnson (2003), this study explores metaphors in Vox that shape discourse(s) on voicing vulnerability and on voice as visibility through an interdisciplinary discourse analysis that draws on the fields of literature and linguistics.

El artículo analiza la participación de las mujeres en los espectáculos de fútbol en la ciudad de Belo Horizonte, entre los años de 1913 y 1927. Durante este período, particularmente en la capital de Minas Gerais, la prensa destacó la participación femenina en los partidos de fútbol, buscando valorizar la presencia de mujeres de la elite en espectáculos deportivos. Por otra parte, el análisis desarolla la hipótesis de que la participación de las mujeres en eventos relacionados con el fútbol permitió la formación de un nuevo habitus femenino resultante de los intercambios simbólicos promovidos por las interacciones en el espacio público
Deportistas sumisas e invisibles: la censura del deporte femenino en la prensa española del primer franquismo.
Authors: Viuda-Serrano Alejandro
Published: January 2023

Durante el franquismo el deporte estuvo limitado en España a la exaltación de aquellos practicados por hombres, patrióticos y viriles, utilizados como herramienta de inculcación de los valores del nuevo régimen. El deporte femenino sufrió un retroceso importante en línea con el papel de la mujer, circunscrito al ámbito privado de la casa y la familia. La Sección Femenina (SF) contribuyó de manera decisiva a ejercer un control efectivo sobre las prácticas deportivas femeninas, ayudada por la vigilancia de la censura de prensa. Esta investigación trata de explicar cómo se utilizaron los medios de comunicación para controlar el deporte femenino y, más aún, dar forma al arquetipo franquista de mujer sumisa e invisible, a través de la censura ejercida por las delegadas de SF, la inserción en la prensa de notas y anuncios, y el envío de consignas a los medios. Las fuentes básicas son los documentos originales de censura de las autoridades políticas (1939-1945) contenidos en el Archivo General de la Administración. La conclusión es que la prensa fue una herramienta al servicio del Estado franquista que ejerció una labor básica en la formación de la imagen de la mujer deportista tras la guerra civil española.
Influencias del periodismo interpretativo en la interpretación del patrimonio de Freeman Tilden.
Authors: Moya José A. , Espinosa Ruiz Antonio , Castro Giménez Claude
Published: January 2023

En 1957, el periodista estadounidense Freeman Tilden publicó su libro titulado Interpreting Our Heritage. Con el paso de los años, esta obra se convirtió en un referente para una nueva disciplina académica y profesional por lo que se considera la base teórica de la interpretación del patrimonio. Sus propuestas para comunicar al público los valores históricos y naturales de manera eficaz se enmarcan en un contexto sociocultural caracterizado por importantes cambios en la prensa debido a que los periodistas pasaron de la redacción de noticias a escribir el porqué de los hechos, sus causas y las consecuencias. Este artículo sugiere que esta nueva fórmula, propia del llamado periodismo interpretativo, presenta un paralelismo con las propuestas de Tilden y destaca la correspondencia entre ambas estrategias en un marco sociocultural común que pudo haber generado e inspirado las bases para la interpretación del patrimonio.
Kitty – o cisne silencioso no conto A morte do cisne de Teresa Veiga
Authors: Válová Karolina
Published: January 2023

Neste artigo tentarei examinar o fenómeno do silêncio na prosa portuguesa, especialmente o fenómeno do silêncio “feminino”. Esse silêncio específico não é causado por falta de voz ou de palavras, mas pela ausência de ouvintes. A protagonista do texto analisado, Kitty, do conto “A morte do cisne”, do livro A gente melancolicamente louca (Veiga, 2015) de Teresa Veiga, utiliza o seu corpo e as suas habilidades de sedução para uma comunicação alternativa, transformando- -os posteriormente num instrumento de revolta. No conto, a mulher é comparada a um cisne. A partir de e um estudo literário centrado na psicanálise de Água e sonhos de Gaston Bachelard (1942), tentarei interpretar esse motivo.

Procurarei desenvolver uma reflexão sobre um quadro temático no âmbito do estudo da língua e literatura portuguesas, quadro esse delimitado, entre outros, por termos e conceitos centrais no que a esta esfera diz respeito: “língua”, forças culturais de “integração” e de “desintegração”, “capital identitário”, “língua universal”, “lusofonia”. Procurarei fortificar a noção segundo a qual a conceção de uma Comunidade linguística obriga ao equacionamento da noção de “pluralidade”.
Os Eslavos na obra de Gilberto Freyre entre a Rússia Americana e os Poloneses no Brasil
Authors: Oliveira Amurabi
Published: January 2023

Gilberto Freyre (1900–1987) é considerado um dos principais intérpretes da sociedade brasileira, tendo enfatizado principalmente o papel dos portugueses na formação do Brasil. Neste artigo, eu examino como os povos eslavos aparecem na obra de Freyre, destacando dois principais elementos: a) a ideia de que o Brasil seria uma “Rússia Americana”; b) a inserção dos poloneses na sociedade brasileira. A comparação com a Rússia se deve ao fato dela ser percebida por Freyre como um país que estaria situado na transição geográfica e cultural entre dois continentes, tal como Espanha e Portugal, e que assim como o Brasil se consolidou como uma nação miscigenada em um vasto território. A presença dos poloneses na sociedade brasileira se daria de forma ambivalente, pois, ao mesmo tempo em que eles se aculturavam, tornando-se mais brasileiros, também contribuíam para a cultura nacional, modificando-a, trazendo novos elementos.

Part-Time Bayesians: Incentives and Behavioral Heterogeneity in Belief Updating
Authors: Alós-Ferrer Carlos , Garagnani Michele
Published: January 2023

Decisions in management and finance rely on information that often includes win-lose feedback (e.g., gains and losses, success and failure). Simple reinforcement then suggests to blindly repeat choices if they led to success in the past and change them otherwise, which might conflict with Bayesian updating of beliefs. We use finite mixture models and hidden Markov models, adapted from machine learning, to uncover behavioral heterogeneity in the reliance on difference behavioral rules across and within individuals in a belief-updating experiment. Most decision makers rely both on Bayesian updating and reinforcement. Paradoxically, an increase in incentives increases the reliance on reinforcement because the win-lose cues become more salient.

Incentives to Persevere

Achieving success often requires persistent effort. We study the effectiveness of two reward mechanisms, all-or-nothing and piece-rate, to incentivize full completion of repeated tasks over time. Our theoretical analysis shows that exogenously imposing the all-or-nothing mechanism can be ineffective due to the potential discouragement effect. In contrast, empowering individuals to choose between the two reward mechanisms can significantly improve the full completion rate. Data from a series of field experiments and follow-up replications provide robust evidence that the all-or-nothing mechanism is effective only when it is presented as an option. Our results highlight the importance of choice in incentivizing persistent effort.

Reputation, Competition, and Lies in Labor Market Recommendations
Authors: Câmara Odilon , Jia Nan , Raffiee Joseph
Published: January 2023

We examine strategic communication in labor market recommendations. Our formal model features two-sided asymmetric information: An adviser has private information about his own preference bias for a focal candidate and a signal of the quality of this candidate, whereas the hiring firm has private information about the quality of an alternative candidate. The adviser can choose whether to recommend his focal candidate to the firm. If he recommends and the firm hires the candidate, then the adviser pays a reputational cost (receives a reputation boost) if the firm later learns that the hire has low quality (high quality). Our main results describe how the equilibrium behavior of advisers (lying choices) and firms (hiring choices) depend on the intricate interplay between preference biases, reputation, lying costs, and the hiring firm’s labor market strength (access to alternative candidates with higher quality). We show that the equilibrium features assortative matching: advisers with a higher (lower) reputation choose to lie less (more), and consequently, their candidates are more likely to be hired by firms with strong (weak) access to high-skilled outside candidates. Two equilibrium forces create a “rich get richer” effect. First, advisers choose to lie less to hiring firms with access to better top candidates, further benefiting those firms. Second, advisers with a higher (lower) reputation choose to lie less (more), which increases (decreases) their future reputation, creating a “reputation trap.” We discuss the implications of our model for hiring strategy, referral systems, and the ability to accrue and sustain human capital-based competitive advantages.

Reduction of Potential-Based Flow Networks
Authors: Klimm Max , Pfetsch Marc E. , Raber Rico , Skutella Martin
Published: January 2023

We consider potential-based flow networks with terminal nodes at which flow can enter or leave the network and physical properties, such as voltages or pressures, are measured and controlled. We study conditions under which such a network can be reduced to a smaller, equivalent network with the same behavior at the terminal nodes. Potential-based flow networks are widely used to model infrastructure networks, such as electricity, gas, or water networks. In contrast to Kron’s reduction for electrical networks, we prove that, in general, potential-based flow networks with at least three terminals cannot be reduced to smaller networks whose size only depends on the number of terminals. On the other hand, we show that it is possible to represent a special class of potential-based flow networks by a complete graph on the terminals, and we establish a characterization of networks that can be reduced to a path network. Our results build on fundamental properties of effective resistances proved in this paper, including explicit formulae for their dependence on edge resistances of the network and their metric properties.

The article analyzes the linguistic and stylistic means of the song compositions of the popular singer-video blogger Jerry Heil, who is simultaneously an author, composer and performer, on the basis of the song texts «Dad» and «Dream». Her work makes you think, smile, and feel sad. In the lyrics of the singer's songs, features of mass art and countercultural and subcultural trends are synthesized, the theme of the importance of simple human values runs through the red thread: love for parents, the theme of love, and important social problems are raised. The full-scale invasion of the aggressor country left its mark on the work of the young artist. The lyrics of the singer's songs have changed to ones that are deeper in content, in which there is vocabulary inherent in military affairs, it is noticeable that now the singer emphasizes the ethnocode with interspersions from the treasury of folk wisdom. Based on our research, we state that the song compositions «Dad» and «Dream», which were written during the full-scale invasion of the aggressor country, are characterized by deep emotionality, bright imagery and melody, are extremely relevant and have a significant linguistic and didactic potential. Original works typical of the singer's compositions have been revealed, which reflect the creative thinking of the performer. The language palette of Jerry Heil's songs is saturated not only with vocabulary of foreign origin, but also with various stylistic means that help the listener better understand the author, get to know her feelings, and delve into the singer's state of mind. Therefore, Jerry Heil's work is the result of his own thoughts, experienced events and feelings, philosophical considerations. The objects of assessment are family relationships, love, social and political events. Among the linguistic stylistic devices of the song compositions «Dad» and «Mriya» the following are characteristic: the use of foreign vocabulary (especially anglicisms), jargonisms, the widespread use of numerous combined metaphorical structures.
The Effect of Vocabulary Intervention Based on a Semantic Network on Vocabulary Learning in Children with Language Delay
Authors: Kim Sunyoung , Yim Dongsun
Published: January 2023

Objectives: In order to find effective vocabulary intervention methods for children with delayed language, this study focused on a vocabulary list that teaches them. In this study, we examined whether arbitrating a vocabulary list that shared the same semantic network with children with delayed language would help children’s receptive and expressive vocabulary learning. Methods: For this study, A total of 13 children with specific impairment language aged 4-5 years participated in this study. We conducted a Mann-Whitney U test with the data. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in receptive vocabulary learning rates between groups arbitrated under a Semantic Network and those that were not. In the case of expressive vocabulary learning rates, it was significantly higher in groups taught under the Semantic Network. Results showed that generalizations to expressive vocabulary exhibited no statistically significant differences between the two groups, but generalizations to receptive vocabulary showed significantly higher rates in groups that applied the Semantic Network. Conclusion: We found that when teaching vocabulary to children with Specific language disabilities, arbitrating a list of vocabulary sharing semantic networks is more effective when learning expressive vocabulary and generalizing receptive vocabulary. In addition, the correlation coefficient between children’s episodic buffers and receptiveness, and expressive vocabulary learning rates was low in groups learning under the Semantic Network, while in groups learning independent vocabulary.
