An analysis of turn-taking behaviors of Japanese learners of English in videoconferencing discussions
Authors: Hennessy Jonathan
Published: July 2024

To successfully interact in a new language, learners must effectively take turns and manage the floor. Expectations and rules for turn-taking can differ between languages, making this more than a question of grammatical proficiency and vocabulary acquisition. In addition, the increased use of videoconferencing software in education and beyond makes learning to manage the floor in virtual spaces a useful skill for everyone, including language learners. To analyze the turn-taking behaviors of first language (L1) speakers of Japanese using English in videoconferencing interactions, three classes of first-year university students with intermediate level English skills were selected to have their in-class videoconferencing discussions recorded. Three of the recorded discussions were selected and analyzed to identify turn-taking behaviors and to analyze the techniques that influenced the speakers’ ability to succeed. Participants were observed to leave long gaps between speakers at turn transitions and rarely extended discussion topics to include multiple turns per speaker. There were three behaviors that were observed that helped some participants to reduce the gap between speakers. Clearly marking the end of a turn, energetic use of verbal backchannels, and comfort with unintentional overlap all seemed to be correlated with improved transition speed. Increased use of questions did lead to some topics being discussed beyond a single turn per speaker, but the difference was relatively small.

Ancient civilizations employed medicinal herbs to treat ailments. Medicinal herbs are essential for treating chronic disorders. Different medicinal plants can treat comparable ailments, depending on the country. In many rural communities in developing countries, particularly in Africa, therapeutic medicines and remedies derived from indigenous plants are almost invariably the only readily available and cost-effective alternatives to traditional diarrhea medicines. The study aims to evaluate the anti-diarrheal activity of the Eleusine indica ethanol extract in mice. The study used fresh Eleusine indica leaves. The extracts were administered at concentrations of 250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg for 28 days. On the 29th, the rats were induced with diarrhea, and blood samples were collected through the retro-orbital plexus before being sacrificed. The serum from the collected blood was used to run hematological and electrolyte tests. The liver and kidney function tests were analyzed using standard methods. The determination of antidiarrheal activity was done using the following models: Castor oil (CO) induced diarrhea, CO induced enteropooling activity, and CO induced gastrointestinal motility. The 80% ethanol extract produced significant (p<0.001) antidiarrheal activity in all three models tested. The hematological, renal, hepatic, and electrolyte parameters of extract-treated mice were not significantly (p > 0.05) different from those of the control group. There was no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) in the chloride, sodium, potassium, calcium, and bicarbonate levels of the extract-treated groups when compared to the control group. The findings of the studies demonstrated the antidiarrheal activities of Eleusine indica leaves, which could be a therapeutic option against diarrhea.
Optimization of solar energy using artificial neural network vs recurrent neural network controller with positive output super lift Luo converter
Authors: Kasim Ali Mohammad  , Sarhan M. Musa
Published: July 2024

In today’s world, the need for clean energy is crucial. Historically, Renewable energy sources like hydropower, wind, and solar offer sustainable solutions. Photovoltaic (PV) systems convert sunlight into electricity using semiconductor PV cells, which have been efficient for over 30 years. PV cell efficiency depends on irradiance (solar photon intensity) and temperature. Higher irradiance increases efficiency, while higher temperatures decrease it. PV systems, despite low voltage outputs, can be optimized using DC-DC Positive Output Super Lift Luo converters to match load requirements, enhancing system efficiency. Solar irradiance varies throughout the day, affecting PV cell output. Maximum Power Point Trackers (MPPTs) adjust the system's operating point to maintain peak efficiency. This study focuses on designing AI controllers to manage MPPT. We compare the performance of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) using three datasets. The goal is to identify the most efficient AI controller for optimizing solar energy systems.

Published: July 2024

This study aims to analyze the effect of financial ratios, namely return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA), earning per share (EPS), current ratio (CR), dan debt to equity ratio (DER) on stock returns on member shares listed on index IDX80 during the period from 2015 to 2019. The sample in this study consisted of 80 companies using secondary data in the financial statements contained in IDX80. The data analysis method used is panel data regression. The results obtained in testing this hypothesis are that return on assets has a significant positive effect on stock returns, and the debt to equity ratio has a significant negative effect on stock returns. An increase in company profits will support an increase in dividend payments and make shares more attractive to investors, increasing stock prices. Conversely, if the company has a more significant proportion of debt, it will be a burden for the company in terms of fulfilling obligations, the costs incurred due to financing, and the potential for financial difficulties to reduce the rate of return on shares. The results also show that return on equity, earnings per share, and current ratio have no significant effect on stock returns.

The city of Kyiv is characterized by a high level (258.6 cases per 100,000 population) of cancer incidence and mortality.
The objective: to determine the problem and prospects of providing inpatient oncology care based on the experience of the department of the Kyiv City Clinical Oncology Center (KCCOC).
Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the work of the palliative care department of communal non-commercial enterprise “KCCOC” for 2001–2023 was carried out. The center includes a 25-bed hospital and mobile palliative care teams. A multidisciplinary approach was the basis of providing palliative care to an incurable cancer patient.
Results. During this period 9,164 cancer patients in the terminal stage with high mortality rate (81.04%) received inpatient care. The average duration of stay in the hospital was 17.7 bed-days. Approximately 6% of patients readmit to the department, some of them – 3-4 times. Approximately 94% of hospitalized patients had a pain syndrome, 86% of patients received opioid analgesia.
During this period, mobile palliative care teams registered and served 3,124 cancer patients, among whom 62% of patients were transferred after inpatient treatment, more than 5,700 primary visits were made.
The clinical route of the palliative patient was developed and improved, which made it possible to optimize palliative care for a seriously ill oncological patient. The peculiarities of providing palliative care to incurable oncological patients in the conditions of martial law have been determined.
Conclusions. Comprehensive palliative care should be a unified system of mobile and stationary care, which will make possible to control the somatic condition of the palliative patient, correct the symptoms of the disease, provide long-term support to the patient at home, which is economically feasible, allows to provide care to a larger number of patients and hospitalize in time if it is necessary.
The creation of an extensive system of mobile palliative care is promising in improvement of palliative care for oncology patients (it will reduce the burden on general somatic hospitals and inpatient palliative departments), as well as qualitatively improve the provision of palliative care to patients in the primary care network.

The objective: to analyze the frequency of insulin resistance (IR) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), study of traditional and rheumatic disease-related risk factors for the development of IR, assessment of the possibility of using of Finnish Type 2 Diabetes Risk Assessment Form (FINDRISC) to detect IR.
Materials and methods. 58 patients with SLE (53 women and 5 men) without diabetes mellitus (DM) and hyperglycemia were included in the one-time study. The patients have received the inpatient treatment at the regional medical and diagnostic center of the communal enterprise “Poltava Regional Clinical Hospital named after M. V. Sklifosofsky PRC” in 2020-2023. The average age of patients was 38 [28; 43] years, the average duration of the disease is 4.0 [0.6; 6.0] years. 49 (85%) patients received glucocorticoids (GC), 20 (34%) – hydroxychloroquine, 26 (45%) – immunosuppressants, 2 (3%) persons received biological drugs. In all patients fasting glucose and insulin levels were determined, and the Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) index was calculated. The value of the HOMA-IR index ≥2.77 corresponded to the presence of IR. Traditional risk factors for type 2 DM and the risk of its development in the next 10 years in patients with SLE were assessed using the FINDRISC questionnaire.
Results. IR was determined in 14 (24%) of 58 patients with SLE. The average value of the HOMA-IR index was 1.8 [1.3; 2,6]. The data of patients with and without IR were similar in terms of sex, age, duration and activity of SLE, therapy performed at the time of examination, frequency of traditional risk factors for type 2 DM. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and insulin concentration were higher in patients with IR. The HOMA-IR index was correlated with BMI (r=0.7; p<0.001), WC (r=0.6; p<0.001), risk categories for the development of type 2 diabetes according to FINDRISС (r=0.4; p=0.04), the SLEDAI-2K index (r=–0.3; p<0.02), the serum concentration of C3 complement (r=0.4; p=0.035) and the duration of GC therapy (r=0.4; p=0.02).
Conclusions. IR was diagnosed in 24% of patients with SLE without a history of DM and with a normal fasting venous blood glucose level. The HOMA-IR index increased as SLE activity decreased and the duration of GC treatment increased. However, the development of IR was statistically significantly associated only with an increase in BMI and WC. The use of the FINDRISC questionnaire, which allows to assess the risk of developing type 2 DM in the general population, did not help to detect IR in patients with SLE.

The Emergence of Time from Quantum Information Dynamics
Authors: Nye Logan
Published: July 2024

This work explores the hypothesis that time is an emergent phenomenon arising from underlying quantum informational processes. By integrating principles from quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and general relativity, we develop a comprehensive framework that elucidates the relationship between quantum complexity, entanglement, and the nature of time. We investigate the role of quantum complexity in the evolution of quantum states and demonstrate how the increase in entanglement entropy provides a microscopic basis for the arrow of time. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence and the holographic principle, we establish connections between spacetime geometry and quantum informational measures like entanglement entropy. We address the black hole information paradox within this context, arguing that information is preserved in a highly scrambled form. Additionally, we propose an experimental design using black hole analogues to empirically validate our theoretical predictions, focusing on fast scrambling and the growth of quantum complexity. Our findings suggest that quantum informational dynamics govern the emergence of time and spacetime geometry. This work bridges quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, information theory, and general relativity, offering potential applications in quantum technologies and new insights into the fundamental nature of reality.
On the Nature and Origin of the Higgs Mechanism
Authors: Nye Logan
Published: July 2024

This paper presents a novel reinterpretation of the Higgs mechanism through the lens of quantum information theory and extended quantum gravity. We propose that the Higgs field emerges from the entanglement structure of quantum gravitational degrees of freedom, with spontaneous symmetry breaking arising as a complexity threshold phenomenon. Our framework introduces quantum informational measures directly into the gravitational field equations, leading to a novel understanding of spacetime as an emergent phenomenon rooted in quantum information. We develop a mathematical formalism that relates the Higgs potential and couplings to quantum entanglement entropy and complexity, predicting specific quantum gravitational corrections to Standard Model physics. Our approach offers potential resolutions to long-standing issues such as the hierarchy problem and the cosmological constant problem, while suggesting deep connections between particle physics and cosmology through a holographic perspective. The paper outlines experimental proposals to test our theory, including precision Higgs measurements at future colliders, cosmological observations, and quantum simulations. We also explore the philosophical implications of our framework, challenging traditional notions of physical law and the nature of reality itself.
