Farmerfish gardens help buffer stony corals against marine heat waves
Authors: Honeycutt Randi N. , Holbrook Sally J. , Brooks Andrew J. , Schmitt Russell J.
Published: March 2023

With marine heat waves increasing in intensity and frequency due to climate change, it is important to understand how thermal disturbances will alter coral reef ecosystems since stony corals are highly susceptible to mortality from thermally-induced, mass bleaching events. In Moorea, French Polynesia, we evaluated the response and fate of coral following a major thermal stress event in 2019 that caused a substantial amount of branching coral (predominantlyPocillopora) to bleach and die. We investigated whetherPocilloporacolonies that occurred within territorial gardens protected by the farmerfishStegastes nigricanswere less susceptible to or survived bleaching better thanPocilloporaon adjacent, undefended substrate. Bleaching prevalence (proportion of the sampled colonies affected) and severity (proportion of a colony’s tissue that bleached), which were quantified for >1,100 colonies shortly after they bleached, did not differ between colonies within or outside of defended gardens. By contrast, the fates of 399 focal colonies followed for one year revealed that a bleached coral within a garden was a third less likely to suffer complete colony death and about twice as likely to recover to its pre-bleaching cover of living tissue compared toPocilloporaoutside of a farmerfish garden. Our findings indicate that while residing in a farmerfish garden may not reduce the bleaching susceptibility of a coral to thermal stress, it does help buffer a bleached coral against severe outcomes. This oasis effect of farmerfish gardens, where survival and recovery of thermally-damaged corals are enhanced, is another mechanism that helps explain why largePocilloporacolonies are disproportionately more abundant in farmerfish territories than elsewhere in the lagoons of Moorea, despite gardens being relatively uncommon. As such, some farmerfishes may have an increasingly important role in maintaining the resilience of branching corals as the frequency and intensity of marine heat waves continue to increase.

In this study we use artificial intelligence (AI) to categorise endometrial biopsy whole slide images (WSI) from digital pathology as either “malignant”, “other or benign” or “insufficient”. An endometrial biopsy is a key step in diagnosis of endometrial cancer, biopsies are viewed and diagnosed by pathologists. Pathology is increasingly digitised, with slides viewed as images on screens rather than through the lens of a microscope. The availability of these images is driving automation via the application of AI. A model that classifies slides in the manner proposed would allow prioritisation of these slides for pathologist review and hence reduce time to diagnosis for patients with cancer. Previous studies using AI on endometrial biopsies have examined slightly different tasks, for example using images alongside genomic data to differentiate between cancer subtypes. We took 2909 slides with “malignant” and “other or benign” areas annotated by pathologists. A fully supervised convolutional neural network (CNN) model was trained to calculate the probability of a patch from the slide being “malignant” or “other or benign”. Heatmaps of all the patches on each slide were then produced to show malignant areas. These heatmaps were used to train a slide classification model to give the final slide categorisation as either “malignant”, “other or benign” or “insufficient”. The final model was able to accurately classify 90% of all slides correctly and 97% of slides in the malignant class; this accuracy is good enough to allow prioritisation of pathologists’ workload.

Authors: Qura Maha E. , Fayomi Aisha , Kilai Mutua , Almetwally Ehab M.
Published: March 2023

In this paper, a bivariate power Lomax distribution based on Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM) copulas and univariate power Lomax distribution is proposed, which is referred to as BFGMPLx. It is a significant lifetime distribution for modeling bivariate lifetime data. The statistical properties of the proposed distribution, such as conditional distributions, conditional expectations, marginal distributions, moment-generating functions, product moments, positive quadrant dependence property, and Pearson’s correlation, have been studied. The reliability measures, such as the survival function, hazard rate function, mean residual life function, and vitality function, have also been discussed. The parameters of the model can be estimated through maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation. Additionally, asymptotic confidence intervals and credible intervals of Bayesian’s highest posterior density are computed for the parameter model. Monte Carlo simulation analysis is used to estimate both the maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimators.

Published: March 2023

High-throughput screening (HTS) methods for characterization of microbial production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are currently under investigated, despite the advent of such systems in related fields. In this study, phenotypic microarray by Biolog PM1 screening of Halomonas sp. R5-57 and Pseudomonas sp. MR4-99 identified 49 and 54 carbon substrates to be metabolized by these bacteria, respectively. Growth on 15 (Halomonas sp. R5-57) and 14 (Pseudomonas sp. MR4-99) carbon substrates was subsequently characterized in 96-well plates using medium with low nitrogen concentration. Bacterial cells were then harvested and analyzed for putative PHA production using two different Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) systems. The FTIR spectra obtained from both strains contained carbonyl-ester peaks indicative of PHA production. Strain specific differences in the carbonyl-ester peak wavenumber indicated that the PHA side chain configuration differed between the two strains. Confirmation of short chain length PHA (scl-PHA) accumulation in Halomonas sp. R5-57 and medium chain length PHA (mcl-PHA) in Pseudomonas sp. MR4-99 was done using Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID) analysis after upscaling to 50 mL cultures supplemented with glycerol and gluconate. The strain specific PHA side chain configurations were also found in FTIR spectra of the 50 mL cultures. This supports the hypothesis that PHA was also produced in the cells cultivated in 96-well plates, and that the HTS approach is suitable for analysis of PHA production in bacteria. However, the carbonyl-ester peaks detected by FTIR are only indicative of PHA production in the small-scale cultures, and appropriate calibration and prediction models based on combining FTIR and GC-FID data needs to be developed and optimized by performing more extensive screenings and multivariate analyses.

Published: March 2023

Background

The increased procoagulant platelets and platelet activation are associated with thrombosis in COVID-19. In this study, we investigated platelet activation in COVID-19 patients and their association with other disease markers.

Methods

COVID-19 patients were classified into three severity groups: no pneumonia, mild-to-moderate pneumonia, and severe pneumonia. The expression of P-selectin and activated glycoprotein (aGP) IIb/IIIa on the platelet surface and platelet-leukocyte aggregates were measured prospectively on admission days 1, 7, and 10 by flow cytometry.

Results

P-selectin expression, platelet-neutrophil, platelet-lymphocyte, and platelet-monocyte aggregates were higher in COVID-19 patients than in uninfected control individuals. In contrast, aGPIIb/IIIa expression was not different between patients and controls. Severe pneumonia patients had lower platelet-monocyte aggregates than patients without pneumonia and patients with mild-to-moderate pneumonia. Platelet-neutrophil and platelet-lymphocyte aggregates were not different among groups. There was no change in platelet-leukocyte aggregates and P-selectin expression on days 1, 7, and 10. aGPIIb/IIIa expression was not different among patient groups. Still, adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced aGPIIb/IIIa expression was lower in severe pneumonia than in patients without and with mild-to-moderate pneumonia. Platelet-monocyte aggregates exhibited a weak positive correlation with lymphocyte count and weak negative correlations with interleukin-6, D-dimer, lactate dehydrogenase, and nitrite.

Conclusion

COVID-19 patients have higher platelet-leukocyte aggregates and P-selectin expression than controls, indicating increased platelet activation. Compared within patient groups, platelet-monocyte aggregates were lower in severe pneumonia patients.

Despite the availability of effective vaccines, the persistence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) suggests that cocirculation with other pathogens and resulting multiepidemics (of, for example, COVID-19 and influenza) may become increasingly frequent. To better forecast and control the risk of such multiepidemics, it is essential to elucidate the potential interactions of SARS-CoV-2 with other pathogens; these interactions, however, remain poorly defined. Here, we aimed to review the current body of evidence about SARS-CoV-2 interactions. Our review is structured in four parts. To study pathogen interactions in a systematic and comprehensive way, we first developed a general framework to capture their major components: sign (either negative for antagonistic interactions or positive for synergistic interactions), strength (i.e., magnitude of the interaction), symmetry (describing whether the interaction depends on the order of infection of interacting pathogens), duration (describing whether the interaction is short-lived or long-lived), and mechanism (e.g., whether interaction modifies susceptibility to infection, transmissibility of infection, or severity of disease). Second, we reviewed the experimental evidence from animal models about SARS-CoV-2 interactions. Of the 14 studies identified, 11 focused on the outcomes of coinfection with nonattenuated influenza A viruses (IAVs), and 3 with other pathogens. The 11 studies on IAV used different designs and animal models (ferrets, hamsters, and mice) but generally demonstrated that coinfection increased disease severity compared with either monoinfection. By contrast, the effect of coinfection on the viral load of either virus was variable and inconsistent across studies. Third, we reviewed the epidemiological evidence about SARS-CoV-2 interactions in human populations. Although numerous studies were identified, only a few were specifically designed to infer interaction, and many were prone to multiple biases, including confounding. Nevertheless, their results suggested that influenza and pneumococcal conjugate vaccinations were associated with a reduced risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Finally, fourth, we formulated simple transmission models of SARS-CoV-2 cocirculation with an epidemic viral pathogen or an endemic bacterial pathogen, showing how they can naturally incorporate the proposed framework. More generally, we argue that such models, when designed with an integrative and multidisciplinary perspective, will be invaluable tools to resolve the substantial uncertainties that remain about SARS-CoV-2 interactions.

Autophagy plays an important role in the infectious processes of diverse pathogens. For instance, cellular autophagy could be harnessed by viruses to facilitate replication. However, it is still uncertain about the interplay of autophagy and swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV) in cells. In this study, we reported that SADS-CoV infection could induce a complete autophagy process both in vitro and in vivo, and an inhibition of autophagy significantly decreased SADS-CoV production, thus suggesting that autophagy facilitated the replication of SADS-CoV. We found that ER stress and its downstream IRE1 pathway were indispensable in the processes of SADS-CoV-induced autophagy. We also demonstrated that IRE1-JNK-Beclin 1 signaling pathway, neither PERK-EIF2S1 nor ATF6 pathways, was essential during SADS-CoV-induced autophagy. Importantly, our work provided the first evidence that expression of SADS-CoV PLP2-TM protein induced autophagy through the IRE1-JNK-Beclin 1 signaling pathway. Furthermore, the interaction of viral PLP2-TMF451-L490 domain and substrate-binding domain of GRP78 was identified to activate the IRE1-JNK-Beclin 1 signaling pathway, and thus resulting in autophagy, and in turn, enhancing SADS-CoV replication. Collectively, these results not only showed that autophagy promoted SADS-CoV replication in cultured cells, but also revealed that the molecular mechanism underlying SADS-CoV-induced autophagy in cells.
Making scarcity “enough”: The hidden household costs of adapting to water scarcity in Mexico City
Authors: Huberts Alyssa , Palma David , Bernal García Ana Cecilia , Cole Faith , Roberts Elizabeth F. S.
Published: March 2023

In the face of water scarcity due to climate change and population growth, cities around the world, especially in the Global South, increasingly provide intermittent, rather than continuous, water supply. Because an intermittent water supply has negative effects on infrastructure and water quality, literature often recommends transition to continuous supply, but that transition may be unfeasible or cost-prohibitive for many cities. There are few policy recommendations for ensuring safe and equitable urban water accesswithinwater-scarce systems. By understanding how households bear the monetary and non-monetary costs of intermittency, we can make urban water safer, more sustainable, and more equitable. This study combines results from open-ended household interviews and ethnographic observations about water management (n = 59 households) with a large-N survey (n = 2,595 individuals) to understand how households experienced water scarcity in Mexico City. We found most residents reported satisfaction with the quantity of intermittent water supply but incurred monetary and non-monetary costs to achieve that satisfaction. We document the ways householdsadapted to scarcity, transforming the intermittent supply they received from the grid by storing, reusing, and conserving water. These adaptations “made scarcity enough,” allowing families to store and preserve sufficient water to meet their needs for waterquantity. However, these same adaptations simultaneously burdened households with financial costs, such as expenditures for storage, pumps, and alternative water sources, and non-monetary costs, such as time-intensive labor spent managing water and noticeable deterioration in drinking waterquality. Because the scarce public water supply is distributed unequally throughout the city, the financial, labor, and water quality impacts of adapting to scarcity were borne privately, primarily by marginalized households. Our findings about intermittency have implications for water justice and equity. We conclude with policy solutions that address the deterioration of water quality during household storage and the inequalities of intermittency.

Embodied gnosis: Sensory-somatic routes in Rosicrucian thinking
Authors: Chambers-Coe Juliet
Published: March 2023

Drawing on the work of Rudolf Steiner and more contemporary esoteric and exoteric scholars of Rosicrucianism, this article considers how engagement of Rosicrucian ideas within somatic movement practice grants the mover expanded routes to experiences best described as embodied spirituality or embodied gnosis. Further, the article points to the social nature of embodied spirituality, whereby engagement of the subtle body within somatic practice, combined with an understanding of Rosicrucian values, has relevance for the well functioning of our human relationships and society more broadly. Examples from my personal movement in Authentic Movement practice and pedagogic practice in Laban Movement Analysis are offered as illustrations of such ideas.
Locating religion within Bhakti performance practice: A study of Sri Krishna Parijatha of North Karnataka
Authors: Choudhury Sneha Roy
Published: March 2023

Religious rituals have often been traced to their origins in structured performances on the one hand, while on the other, trends in secularization of performance have also been studied. The larger inquiry, within the scope of this paper, relates to the possibility of situation of religious trends through an analysis of the origin and development of performative practices. The paper attempts to historically situate the performance practice of Sri Krishna Parijatha of North Karnataka within the regional, as well as, the larger corpus of Bhakti performance practices, so as to locate the development of the movement over time. The central hypothesis remains that Sri Krishna Parijatha, as a performance practice, emerges out of specific historical, religious and cultural contexts, and a change in these contexts stimulates a state of flux within the performative tradition itself, which is best foregrounded through an understanding of its changing effects on its audiences.
A critical review of health marketing in Zimbabwe during COVID-19
Authors: Kembo Shupikai , Bothma Cornelius
Published: March 2023

The coronavirus befell the world in late 2019 resulting in the World Health Organisation declaring a global pandemic in March 2020. As governments and health authorities around the world struggled to control the pandemic, key components of their efforts include the publicizing of their services, informing citizens of good hygiene practices, keeping the nation informed of the spread of the virus and generally keeping citizens in a positive and focused frame of mind. These efforts fall within the definition of health marketing which applies marketing principles and theories combined with health strategies to promote people’s health. These efforts also draw on both traditional and new digital channels, including online and social media, to carry across the health-marketing message to citizens. Zimbabwe is no different. The Ministry of Health and Child Care in Zimbabwe is the public authority responsible for healthcare in the country. This study reviews the three main digital channels used by the Ministry to communicate with Zimbabwean citizens, namely, their website, Facebook and Twitter. The review involves a longitudinal dissection of the communications shared across these three channels for the period from May to August 2020 and uses both content and thematic analysis to understand and critique the health communications being put out by the Ministry to its citizens. The review also takes into consideration the public comments on these communications to present a critical review of the effectiveness of these communications from a health-marketing perspective. The findings provide useful insight into the positive aspects and shortcomings of these communications and contribute to a conceptual framework for managing health-marketing communications in a time of crisis.
Receptivity of injured and aged coconut petiole for oviposition by
red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Authors: Shelke Rajan , Cheradil Andrea
Published: March 2023

Red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera:
Curculionidae) is a key pest of palm-based ecosystem. Globally R.
 ferrugineus is reported from 50 countries infecting 40 palm species. R.
ferrugineus are attracted to wounded, damaged, dying palms or apparently
healthy palms. R. ferrugineus gains entry into a palm when female weevils
are drawn to palm tissue volatiles to lay eggs. The females use the rostrum
to bore into palm tissue to form a hole for oviposition. Because of its
cryptic feeding habit management of R. ferrugineus is difficult leading to
death of palms. The laboratory study was conducted with the aim to assess
the ovipositional preference of injured and aged coconut petiole (var.
Benaulim) to red palm weevil R. ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).
Results reveals that freshly injured coconut petiole was most preferred for
egg laying by R. ferrugineus (mean egg lay: 4.11) and was statistically at
par with one and two-day old, injured coconut petiole, indicating that
injuries and wounds on coconut petiole between 0-2 days after damage emit
palm volatiles that are most attractive to female R. ferrugineus adults for
egg laying. It concludes that injured part should be treated with effective
insecticides immediately after damage to prevent further losses.

override the meaning of these values. However, new times opens new
opportunities: this 100-week egg production technology, designed and
developed on firm with excellent economic result provides additional
economical and social opportunities fulfilling an important role in an
ever-changing environment.The technology described in the thesis with its

uncompromised, natural pattern based approach. This approach opens positive
value innovation and development circles and enables such technological
approach, that ensures continuous improvement, sustainable operation
meeting also the social requirements.The demonstrated results from the
presented study are excellent, but in terms of other revenues it is
necessary to establish complete systems and to carry out appropriate
verification audits before their practical application.
Can the distribution of red fox burrows indicate the chafer larvae density?
Authors: Márton Mihály , Heltai Miklós , Szabó László
Published: March 2023

Due to their general occurrence the European badger and the red fox have an important role in most of the ecosystems of the Carpathian basin. Both species use burrows for resting and cub rearing. Based on the previous studies, differences were found in the burrow site selection of these predators. The differences can be seen in case of the vegetation type, the soil texture and the density of primary food sources. This knowledge is important for wildlife managers and nature conservationists, but maybe useful for other sectors (e.g. agriculture, forest management) as well. In the present study, we have taken plant protection approach. Our question was the following: does the chafer larvae density differ in the surrounding of badger and red fox burrows? The study area is located between Gödöllő and Valkó, in the Gödöllő Hills. Its size is 3728 ha and mainly covered by forests (96%). Two methods were used during the study. At first strip transect method was implemented to find the burrows. 81 burrows were found in total, 14 of them were used by badger and 14 by red fox, 53 of them were abandoned. The second method was the chafer larvae density and biomass measurement. Eight samples were taken per each active burrow, it means 224 samples in total. Our results showed higher chafer larvae density and biomass in case of red fox burrows, than in case of badger burrows. We conclude that the soil texture could be in the background of this difference.

We aimed to evaluate the green biomass’ of sweet potato (Ipomoea
batatas L.) quality, through quantitative analysis of microelements, colour
characteristics, and UHPLC-MS screening of bioactive constituents. The
shelf life examination included sealed raw sweet potato leaves in plastic
packs were stored at 6°C and 12°C and the microbiological characteristics
were monitored for 2 weeks, through enumeration of mesophilic total plate
count, total fungi count, Enterobacteriaceae and mesophilic aerobic spores.
We found, that the sweet potato leaves can be considered as the source of
calcium, magnesium and phosphorus among the minerals, of which calcium is
the most abundant. We identified 17 types of amino acids, 7 vitamins,
mainly vitamins belonging to the Vitamin B family. Furthermore, it
contained carboxylic acids, flavonoids, polyphenols and aromatic compounds.
The sweet potato leaves stored at 6°C was of satisfactory microbiological
quality on day 14. Our data suggest that the sweet potato leaves could be a
valuable source for healthy nutrition.

Published: March 2023

In our experiment, we investigated the effect of some of the most
commonly used plant conditioners and yield enhancers in production of
nursery-gardens and reference plantations, which are based on
photosynthetic and growth parameters of saplings and productive stocks. The
one-year old apple sapling was UEB 3177/1 variety, commertially called
Sirius. In addition to the growth parameters (such as shoot length and stem
diameter), the total chlorophyll and carotenoid contents, which determine
photosynthetic activity, were also examined in both nursery-gardens and
reference plantations. The individual and combined application of
yield-enhancing and conditioning agents were involved in a total of six
treatments.

The application of iron and flavonoid containing preparation alone
or in combination resulted a significant difference in total chlorophyll
content compared to the control stock. In the case of the studied growth
parameters, the combination of the flavonoid and humic acid containing
preparations and the sole use of flavonoid agent proved to be the most
effective in the longitudinal growth of the sapling. In the terms of trunk
size, the combination of the same formulation proved to be the best
treatment compared to the control stock. Our results may have been
influenced by weather conditions, they can be considered as preliminary
results, and our studies should be repeated in the next growing season to
draw valid conclusions.

Dessa forma, objetivou-se avaliar a composição e qualidade microbiológica do leite da microrregião de Itapetinga, Estado da Bahia, Brasil, no período entre Setembro a Outubro de 2017. Foram obtidas 86 amostras de leite cru de vacas mestiças girolando de produtores, as amostras foram encaminhadas para o Centro de Estudos em Leite da UESB. Para avaliação da composição, as amostras foram analisadas em equipamento DairySpec FT e obtidos os teores de gordura, proteína verdadeira, lactose, sólidos totais e índice crioscópico. Para análises de CBT e CCS foi utilizado o equipamento BactoCount IBC. Os dados obtidos foram organizados e avaliados utilizando estatística descritiva. Os teores de gordura, proteína, lactose e sólidos totais apresentaram médias que atendem a legislação, apenas para índice crioscópico, a média não atende ao intervalo definido pela legislação vigente do ano de 2018 que segue sendo mesma para o ano de 2023, sendo superior ao valor mínimo estabelecido. Avaliando cada produtor individual, foi observado que 4 produtores não atendem a legislação para gordura, 22 para proteína e 6 para sólidos totais, e apenas 1 para índice crioscópico. Avaliando os valores de 67% e 60% dos produtores não atendem aos padrões definidos pela legislação vigente para CBT e CCS, respectivamente. Os resultados médios para composição, apresentaram valores satisfatórios com dentro dos padrões estabelecidos pela legislação brasileira. São insatisfatórias as condições microbiológicas do leite cru analisado, onde a maior parte dos produtores apresentaram índices muito acima do estabelecido pela legislação vigente.

Dessa forma, a regeneração pulpar surgiu como uma alternativa promissora para tratamento desses dentes, com intuito de controlar a infecção do sistema de canais radiculares, utilizando o mínimo de ação dos instrumentos endodônticos assim como também o uso de irrigação abundante durante o preparo biomecânico. Essa técnica consiste em induzir um sangramento na região apical para formação de um coágulo com células indiferenciadas que associados a fatores de crescimento são capazes de induzir uma reparação e neoformação tecidual. Sendo assim, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre a terapia de regeneração pulpar, destacando sua aplicabilidade clínica, vantagens, desvantagens, e protocolos de atendimento. Para isso, foram utilizadas referências bibliográficas indexadas em sites como Google acadêmico, PubMed e Scielo. As pesquisas apontam que a revitalização do tecido pulpar promove o desenvolvimento e espessamento radicular em caso de dentes permanentes imaturos com necrose pulpar. Conclui-se então que apesar da técnica de regeneração pulpar não ter um protocolo considerado padrão-ouro, quando esta for bem indicada pode trazer resultados muito satisfatórios para o paciente. Porém, novos estudos ainda precisam ser realizados para verificar a eficácia dessa nova proposta terapêutica.

Po naszymu o pasjach. Gwara zaolziańska w mediach społecznościowych
Authors: Bogoczová Irena , Bortliczek Małgorzata
Published: March 2023

The article is a contribution to the research on the linguistic situation of the Czech part of Těšín Silesia (Zaolzie in Polish). Having written on the topic in the past, this time the authors direct their attention to the Jablunkov part of the region and to a mixed language: the so-called po naszymu. In the introduction, they reflect on what functions a dialect can fulfil today, most of which are evident in the authentic linguistic material presented which comes from three extensive interviews that have then been published online. The speech of the dialect’s speakers differs, revealing the general focus of the speaker on a particular ethnic language: Polish, Czech or Slovak. The discovery of these foreign elements is possible due to the phonetic transcription, which reveals lexical, morphological and phonetic transfers in the texts. The purpose of the analysis is to point out the differences in the po naszymu mixed language code with a differentrate of Polish, Czech or Slovak elements.

Rozwój języka dzieci z FASD warunkowany poziomem funkcji poznawczych
Authors: Pawłowska-Jaroń Halina , Orłowska-Popek Zdzisława
Published: March 2023

The article presents relations between language development and cognitive functions in children with FASD. The authors characterise particular cognitive functions connected with perception, processing and storage of information as well as control and self-regulation of behaviour. They write about linguistic knowledge as closely coexisting with other cognitive functions. The authors also emphasise two things. First, the fact that the quality of cognitive, social and emotional functioning of a child depends equally on the harmonious development of perception, motor, language, mental and social skills, and second: the knowledge of the specificity of cognitive development, which is reflected in the language development, can be helpful in making a diagnosis and preparing a therapeutic program for children with FASD.
Czy pytać to tylko ‘zadawać pytanie’? Kilka uwag o medialnym użyciu tego czasownika
Authors: Ciunovič Małgorzata
Published: March 2023

The verb pytać [to ask] is one of the basic verba dicendi, thus its meaning seems obvious and its lexicographical descriptions exhaustive. At the same time, contemporary uses of this lexeme in the media suggest the presence of additional components, not yet taken into account in the studies of this verb. The author will therefore analyse selected quotations from informative Internet portals and TV dailies in order to then attempt to answer the question posed in the title. The description will take into account the pragmatic elements of the utterance: its context, information about the sender and the assumed recipient, as well as the entire communication situation; the conclusions will, in turn, be confronted with descriptions of the verb pytać [to ask] present in the linguistic literature.
Modyfikacje znaczenia i walencji związków frazeologicznych jako mechanizm frazeotwórczy
Authors: Ignatowicz-Skowrońska Jolanta
Published: March 2023

The article deals with the semantic and valence modifications of three phraseological units: leżeć i kwiczeć, mieć na pieńku and grać pierwsze skrzypce. Initially, these units were connected with personal nouns only and appeared in the multi-word lexical units ktoś leży i kwiczy (‘someone is in a predicament, has no choice’), ktoś ma z kimś na pieńku (‘someone wants to complain about something to somebody, someone bears a grudge against someone) and ktoś gra pierwsze skrzypce (‘someone controls, leads or makes decisions’). Eventually, new phrasemes appeared due to the enrichment ofmeaning of the units and modification of their semantic and selective valency: coś leży i kwiczy (‘something does not work, neither develops nor evolves, does not meet requirements or expectations’), ktoś ma z czymś na pieńku (‘someone does not follow the rules, does not act accordingly or acceptably’) and coś gra pierwsze skrzypce (‘something is most important or dominating, something is in a controlling position’). The research proved that the process of the appearance of these lexical units was facilitated by the language users’ tendency to forget the motivation of the units and the evo-lution of their semantics towards the content which would enable connectivity with impersonal nouns.
