An alternative view of the English alternative embedded passive
Authors: Duncan Daniel
Published: March 2024

The English alternative embedded passive (AEP), or “needs washed” construction, is a noncanonical morphosyntactic feature found in some American and British Englishes. It involves a matrix verb surfacing immediately before a participle. Previous research has described this construction as only licit with matrix need, want, and like; however, isolated examples of the AEP with additional matrix verbs have surfaced. These rarely attested instances raise questions regarding the basic description of the construction and how matrix verb availability is constrained, as well as whether the AEP is truly the same feature across AmE and BrE varieties. This paper utilizes a large-scale grammaticality judgement survey to obtain as exhaustive a set of AEP matrix verbs as possible. Results show that far more verbs can be used in the AEP than previously attested. Acceptance is constrained by lexical semantics, verbal syntax, and verb productivity. This alternative view of the AEP as a more generalized phenomenon nevertheless shows a strong link between AmE and BrE varieties, as the constraints are nearly identical across the nations. The findings illustrate how attention to rarely attested or non-attested data can inform morphosyntactic and dialectological research.
Influence of damage on large displacement buckling analysis of beams
Authors: Arcoraci Rosalinda , Fiore Ilaria , Greco Annalisa , Caliò Ivo
Published: March 2024

In this study, the influence of concentrated damage on the stability of beams under static loads is investigated according to a co-rotational-based large displacement approach. Well-known benchmark beam-like structures have been considered under different loading conditions and damage scenarios. The concentrated damage has been modelled by means of a cross section reduction of a beam element, following a strategy already adopted in the literature. The results have been expressed in terms of buckling loads and post-buckling responses for different damage scenarios associated with a concentrated damage characterized by different positions, intensities, and extensions.
The Portuguese pluperfect: diversity of forms, polysemy and interaction with adjuncts
Authors: Móia Telmo
Published: March 2024

This paper discusses the contemporary use of the Portuguese simple and two compound pluperfect forms (with the auxiliary verbs ter, and haver) of the indicative mood in written texts. Four topics are addressed. First, the claim that the simple pluperfect is currently a defective paradigm lacking the third person plural; this claim is confirmed and substantiated by looking at specific distinguishing contexts in corpora. Secondly, the competition between the three pluperfect forms, in written contemporary European and Brazilian Portuguese; it is shown that – contrary to some frequent comments in the literature – all three forms still have widespread usage, and occur in a relatively balanced way, in the type of registers considered (newspaper writing, modern literary texts, modern literary translations), in both varieties of the language. Thirdly, as regards semantic polyvalence, the possible existence of a deictic rather than anaphoric (temporal) pluperfect; it is argued that this type of pluperfect does indeed exist, and deserves separate grammatical recognition. Fourthly, the well-known cases of ambiguity in structures with pluperfect and temporal locating adjuncts, where the latter can act either as markers of the past perspective point required by the pluperfect, or as markers of the location time of the described eventualities; facts in English and Portuguese are compared, with some differences highlighted.
The Vocal Advantage in Memory for Melodies is Based on Contour
Authors: Weiss Michael W. , Peretz Isabelle
Published: March 2024

Recognition memory is better for vocal melodies than instrumental melodies. Here we examine whether this vocal advantage extends to recall. Thirty-one violinists learned four melodies (28 notes, 16 s), two produced by voice and two by violin. Their task was to listen to each melody and then immediately sing (for vocal stimuli) or play back on violin (for violin stimuli) the melody. Recall of the melody was tested in ten consecutive trials. After a brief delay (∼10 min), participants were asked to perform the four melodies from memory. Each performance was scored based on the accuracy of two measures: (1) intervals and (2) contour. The results revealed an advantage for vocal over violin melodies in immediate recall of the melodic contour and, after the delay, a reverse pattern with an advantage for violin over vocal melodies. The findings are consistent with the hypothesis that the voice facilitates learning of melodies and further show that the vocal advantage in recall is short-lived and based on contour.
How Tax Knowledge Mediates Business Performance?
Authors: Mangoting Yenni , Leoni Michelle , Natalia Celine
Published: March 2024

This study aimed to determine the influence of tax awareness on business performance and to examine the effect of tax knowledge as a mediating variable. The research adopted a survey with the distribution of questionnaires via G-Forms. The sample consisted of individual taxpayers who own sole proprietorships. The study demonstrated that high tax awareness and knowledge positively impacted taxpayers to fulfill their tax obligations, thereby enhancing business performance. The results of the mediation test confirmed that tax knowledge plays an effective mediating role. Tax awareness remained the main factor. Increasing tax awareness encourages taxpayers to seek broader knowledge about tax regulations and their interpretations, which affects the efficiency of the company’s cash flow. This drives companies to make innovative decisions by optimizing tax regulations and incentives. This study confirmed that tax awareness and tax knowledge contributed to improving taxpayers’ compliance. Nevertheless, integrating tax awareness with tax knowledge not only improves taxpayers’ compliance but also leads to improved business performance.

Authors: Aldiaz Nail , Tuti Meylani , Shahril Aslinda Mohd
Published: March 2024

This research aims to determine the influence of lifestyle, social media marketing, and customer reviews on trust and impulsive buying. The population in this study were fashion thrift buyers at x-brand stores. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling. The research results show a significant influence of lifestyle on impulsive buying and trust. Social media marketing affects trust, but not impulsive buying. Customer reviews on trust, but not on impulsive buying. Furthermore, trust influences impulsive buying. This shows that trust has a strong mediating influence that influences consumers to make impulsive purchases. This research has managerial implications since it offers thrift store business players new perspectives on how to encourage impulsive buying among consumers by giving them accurate and comprehensive information about the things they are selling. The findings of the study demonstrate that social media marketing, lifestyle, and customer reviews all enhance trust. Furthermore, there is no significant correlation between social media marketing and customer reviews and impulse buying, although lifestyle and beliefs do have a beneficial effect.

Authors: Zheng Niuyi , Wang Chaolong , Li Yiqiu , Fu Haiying , Hu Tao
Published: March 2024

In brief

Brown adipose tissue impaired in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) plays a crucial role in the treatment of PCOS. This study shows that myricetin potently improves PCOS by activating brown adipose tissue (BAT).

PCOS is a complex endocrine disease characterized by hyperandrogenism, anovulation and polycystic ovary, and is often accompanied by metabolic disorder such as insulin resistance. BAT has been considered as a promising target for the treatment of obesity and other metabolic disease. In this study, we showed that 3 weeks of myricetin (a compound from natural product) treatment improved metabolic capacity and insulin sensitivity by activating BAT in dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)-induced PCOS mice. Furthermore, increased number of corpus luteum and decreased cystic formation were observed in PCOS mice. With the hormone levels such as luteinizing hormone (LH) were reversed, estrous cycle was also normalized after myricetin treatment. Eventually, myricetin markedly improved reproductive defects in PCOS mice. In short, our results suggest that myricetin treatment dramatically ameliorates ovarian dysfunction and metabolic disturbances in PCOS and provides a novel perspective for the treatment of PCOS.

La novela, género literario
Authors: Beltrán Almería Luis
Published: March 2024

The novel is a special literary genre. Born with the open society, its history is created by the aesthetic needs posed by this type of society. These needs are expressed at three levels: the image of the character, the image of the world and the image of the word. The people of open societies have a public image and an image for themselves. It often happens that these images do not coincide. Even in Modernity, the subject does not recognize himself in his own public image. The worlds of open societies are several and give rise to abbreviated images, symbols, which Bakhtin called chronotopes. Finally, the word of open societies becomes an aesthetic register of the positions of the speakers and social changes. The novel fuses these three images and becomes a cultural event of the first order, especially in the modern world. This conception of the novel is based on the ideas of Bakhtin and aims to go one step further.
Effects of heavy metal contamination on fungal diversity in Pinus brutia shoots
Authors: Cebi Kilicoglu Melike
Published: March 2024

The effects of heavy metal pollution have become a significant global issue in recent years. The primary objective of the present study was to compare the heavy metal concentrations in Pinus brutia shoots grown in an organized industrial zone (OIZ) and a forested area (Adalar) and to examine how these heavy metals affect fungal microbiota. The results achieved here showed that Ni and V concentrations were lower than the detectable limits in both the Adalar and the OIZ region, whereas Se and Cu concentrations were lower than the detectable limits in the shoots collected from the Adalar. Concentrations determined in samples collected from the OIZ were approximately 6 times higher for Cr and 16 times higher for Zn in comparison to the samples collected from the Adalar. Metagenomic analysis revealed that the most common fungal genera were Aureobasidium, Gibberella, Hazslinszkyomyces, Alternaria, Cladosporium, Buckleyzyma, Lasiodiplodia, and Hormonema for the OIZ area and Hormonema, Aureobasidium, Alternaria, Cladosporium, Arthrinium, Fonsecazyma, and Truncatella for the Adalar region. In the future, this study may serve as a reference for the development of innovative strategies for the remediation of heavy metal pollution for a sustainable and clean environment using biological sources.
"Development And Assessment of Immediate Release Nitrofurantoin Tablet and Sustained Release Trimethoprim Tablet: Formulation, Characterization and Comparative Evaluation"
Authors: Kute Vaibhav Ghansham , Singh Manmeet
Published: March 2024

The research includes an examination of material properties, an investigation into the compatibility of the drug and excipients, the development of analytical techniques, and the determination of tablet production methods for immediate and sustained release layers. The methodology for material characterization encompassed the analysis of the pharmaceuticals' solubility in various aqueous solutions and buffers. The evaluation of the compatibility between excipients and medications was conducted utilizing FT-IR spectroscopy. Furthermore, calibration curves were devised by the research team for Nitrofurantoin and Trimethoprim, enabling the quantification of these pharmaceutical substances via UV spectrophotometry. The preparation of the tablets involved the utilization of direct compression and moist granulation methods, respectively, for the immediate and sustained release layers. This required the application of a variety of excipients and polymers. The tablets underwent a thorough evaluation in a controlled laboratory environment, which encompassed assessments of their dimensions, resistance to deformation, mass variability, and susceptibility to fracturing, concentration of active component, breakdown time, and solubility. The findings demonstrated that the regression coefficients in the calibration curves were substantial, thereby validating the accuracy of the drug concentration estimations. The results of the solubility studies indicate that Nitrofurantoin becomes more soluble in acidic environments. However, it should be noted that the solubility of both Trimethoprim and Nitrofurantoin is influenced by various solvents and buffers. An investigation into the compatibility of pharmaceuticals and the excipients was conducted through the utilization of FT-IR spectroscopy to ascertain such compatibility or interaction. A micromeritics analysis of granule flow parameters unveiled batch-specific variations in flow characteristics which will impact the manufacturing procedure. Upon scrutinizing the tablets, discrepancies in multiple measurements were discovered among various samples, suggesting the possibility of atypical tablet characteristics. Nitrofurantoin and Trimethoprim exhibited a progressive release from their tablets over time in various samples, as indicated by the drug release profiles observed in vitro; this suggests that the tablets have distinct release kinetics. Nevertheless, the medication release data exhibited irregularities in its presentation, such as sporadic inputs, absent values, and potentially erroneous statistics. The presence of these inconsistencies has the potential to compromise the dependability and comprehension of the results. In brief, the research provides extensive knowledge regarding the development, examination, and assessment of Nitrofurantoin rapid release tablets and Trimethoprim sustained release tablets.

This comprehensive study delves into the intricate dynamics of Autonomous Maintenance (AM), a pivotal component of the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) philosophy, as an instrumental strategy employed by companies to elevate the competitiveness of their products. Focusing specifically on the manufacturing sector, with an emphasis on plant and machinery, the research emphasizes the critical role of AM in minimizing losses attributed to breakdowns, thereby contributing to overall cost reduction. The initial stages of AM, encompassing Steps 1, 2, and 3, are dedicated to restoring the fundamental conditions of machinery. These steps involve addressing underlying issues that lead to breakdowns, thus laying the groundwork for a more robust and efficient manufacturing process. In this context, the study underscores the strategic significance of AM in not only rectifying existing problems but also in preventing future disruptions. The crux of this investigation centers on Step 4 of AM, which shifts the focus from restoration to the sustained maintenance of gains achieved in the preceding steps. This step is crucial for ensuring the longevity of improvements and for establishing a proactive approach to maintenance. The study unfolds within the specific setting of a Detergent Manufacturing Plant operating within the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) category, offering a real-world context to the theoretical underpinnings of AM. The research scrutinizes the implementation of Step 4 at the Detergent Manufacturing Plant, elucidating the methodologies employed, challenges encountered, and outcomes realized in the ongoing pursuit of minimizing costly breakdowns. By delving into the intricacies of this implementation, the study seeks to provide nuanced insights into the practical implications and effectiveness of sustaining gains in the manufacturing process through the systematic application of AM principles. Anticipated outcomes of this case study include valuable lessons and best practices that can be extrapolated to benefit companies within the FMCG sector and beyond. As industries strive for operational excellence, the findings of this research are poised to offer actionable insights into the strategic deployment of Autonomous Maintenance for enhancing manufacturing competitiveness and reducing production-related losses.

Intuición, racionalidad y acción
Authors: Miranda Rafael
Published: March 2024

Durante los últimos cinco años, un tema principal de discusión en el área epistemológica ha sido el rol de las intuiciones como una guía confiable para el conocimiento, o como una forma de justificación de alguna creencia. Se asume que si no existe tal función de las intuiciones (intuiciones racionales específicamente), entonces son gratuitas, irrelevantes y una guía poco confiable para el conocimiento o la creencia. El papel de las intuiciones en el área práctica no simplifica el problema: si un sujeto (S) toma una decisión fundado (incluso parcialmente) en algunas intuiciones, entonces es difícil negar la relevancia de ellas en esta arista práctica. Por lo tanto, surge el dilema: ¿cómo puede una intuición guiar la acción de un sujeto S, si S ni siquiera está justificado en tener esa intuición? Para responder a esta cuestión, propongo una defensa híbrida (a priori - a posteriori / teórica - práctica) de la intuición racional (IR), a través de dos roles (diferentes de los roles probatorios o justificatorios): un rol propedéutico (también llamado rol ejemplificador contrafactual) y un rol de guía de la acción en la toma de decisiones. Al mismo tiempo, se afirma que una IR tiene un rol de transmisor (diferente del rol justificatorio) que es relevante con respecto al vínculo inferencial entre premisa-conclusión. Se discute una conexión similar sobre el nexo concebible-posible. De esta manera, se propone un racionalismo moderado, que sostiene la falibilidad de IR, la relevancia de la evidencia a posteriori y la confiabilidad a priori.
Parménide adversaire d'Aristote : Sur une connexion entre la Physique et la Métaphysique
Authors: Durón García José Manuel
Published: March 2024

Les traités Physique et Métaphysique d’Aristote exposent la thèse de Parménide selon deux approches différentes, voire contradictoires. Je soutiens que Parménide est, dans le premier, présenté en partisan de l’immutabilité, tandis que dans le second il est présenté comme tenant du relativisme. Cette différence répond dialectiquement aux fins de la discussion de chaque traité. Je soutiens que la thèse du monisme, à savoir ‘‘toutes les choses sont une’’, comprise, d’une part, d’un point de vue ontologique et, d’autre part, d’un point de vue épistémologique permet à Aristote de brosser des images assez distinctes de Parménide.
Materialism, Matter and Materiality in the Work of Althusser
Authors: Montag Warren
Published: March 2024

Over a decade ago, a number of philosophers declared that the time of what they called “the linguistic turn,” that is, a philosophical orientation to language as the sole medium through which reality could be apprehended, had come to an end, having foundered on its own contradictions. In its place, they proposed a turn to objects or things, that is, that to which we were previously told we could gain access only through language or consciousness, insofar as they reflected or represented reality from a position outside of it. Thus, they established the materiality of objects, but at the expense of a dematerialization of language. One of the principal targets of the new materialism was the concept of ideology, to them a realm of ideas, not things. In his famous essay, “Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses,” published in 1970, Althusser preempted the arguments of the new materialism by asserting that ideology does not consist of ideas but exists in the materiality of apparatuses, practices and rituals. Just as importantly, discourse too possessed a materiality and a reality which was the necessary condition of its functions, including the production of meaning.

Much has been written on Derrida’s and Butler's discussions of Austin’s speech act theory, but one thing at least remains unclear: why does performativity hinge on the notion of “force,” and what “force” are we here talking about? For Austin, the force of the performative signals a performative enforcement, a validating repetition of prior conditions of legitimation: it testifies to the “felicity” or “success” of the performative event.According to Derrida, this articulation between force and success closes off the eventness of the event; it implies an ontological reduction and reconstruction, that is, an appropriation of the event in the form of performative power. However, the performative, if it is to truly produce an event, must exceed prior conditions of validation and transform, in its performance, the conditions of validity it was meant to repeat. Eventness must remain beyond and without power. In this perspective, the article explores the “force” which Derrida describes as “force of the event”: an excessive force in the face of which “performative force” must fail. At bottom undecidable, “the force of the event” suggests the fallibility of force and the force of fallibility. I compare this self-deconstructive notion of force with Butler’s subversive politics of the performative, which theorizes “performative force” as the force of a failure – but a successful failure – to comply with the norm: a non-normative repetition and a reappropriation that forces change, and of which “queer” is at once the example, the model, and the very name. While Derrida’s is an attempt to think the uncanny force of a strange, non-appropriable, non-ontologizable, and perhaps “queer” event or quasi-event, characterized by fallibility and undecidability, Butler’s theory of power and her notion of “performative force” reverse, but fundamentally maintain, Austin’s ontological oppositions between success and failure, legitimacy and illegitimacy, repetition and change.

En la península de Yucatán, el chile habanero (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) es uno de los productos agrícolas de mayor demanda y valor. Mejorar los rendimientos productivos en campo supone incrementar el desarrollo de los productores regionales. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar diferentes fórmulas de fertilización N-P-K (Nitrógeno, Fósforo y Potasio), en el cultivo de chile habanero en condiciones de cielo abierto. El experimento se llevó a cabo en el Campo experimental Xamantún del Instituto Tecnológico de Chiná, Campeche, México. Se evaluaron cinco fórmulas de fertilización: 150-50-200, 200-100-240, 250-150-280, 300-200-320 y 350-250-360, en un sistema de fertirriego para plantas de chile habanero. Las variables de estudio evaluadas fueron: número de flores por planta (NFP), número de frutos por planta (NFRP), longitud de fruto (LFR), diámetro de fruto (DFR), y rendimiento de frutos por planta (RFRP). Los resultados señalan como mejor tratamiento la fórmula 350-250-360 para las variables NFRP, LFR, DFR y RFRP, obteniéndose un rendimiento promedio de 41259 kg ha-1. Los resultados sugieren que usar dosis más elevadas a las recomendadas incrementan la producción de frutos por plantas.

Abstract This study aimed to examine gender differences in distress and well-being two years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, analyzing risk and protective factors for psychological distress and subjective well-being. It is a repeated cross-sectional study with a sample of 1,588 women (50%) and men (50%) from the general Spanish population aged 18-74 years who were assessed online by seven questionnaires and scales. Descriptive, variance, and hierarchical multiple regression analyses were performed. From February to April 2022, 57.4% of women and 38.7% of men had psychological distress, percentages that totaled 50.5% and 41.5%, respectively, from October 2022 to February 2023. Women also had greater perceived vulnerability to diseases, more negative feelings, and lower affect balance, resilience, and self-esteem than men. The most important predictors of greater psychological distress refer to lower self-esteem, resilience, and social support and higher perceived vulnerability to diseases. Other statistically significant predictors included lower educational level in women and neither being married nor living with a partner in men. Lower self-esteem also best predicted lower subjective well-being, with lower social support and lower resilience also constituting significant predictors. Moreover, lower educational level and higher perceived vulnerability to diseases statistically and significantly predicted lower subjective well-being in women, as did not being a student in men. We conclude that psychological distress remains greatly prevalent in Spain two years after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in women.

Resumo A disponibilidade de venda de alimentos no território pode influenciar no consumo alimentar da população. Entretanto, é importante compreender como as pessoas percebem o seu ambiente alimentar para se entender como essa disponibilidade afeta seu consumo em contextos distintos. O objetivo foi avaliar a percepção dos moradores de favelas brasileiras sobre o ambiente alimentar em suas vizinhanças. Estudo qualitativo, em que foram realizados grupos focais online guiados por um roteiro para reunir discursos coletivos sobre o acesso aos alimentos em favelas brasileiras. O convite ocorreu por meio das redes sociais e do contato com líderes comunitários e organizações não governamentais que atuam em favelas, por meio da técnica de amostragem “bola de neve”. Para a análise, foi utilizada a abordagem grounded theory (teoria fundamentada) e, como técnica, foi empregada a análise de redes temáticas. O acesso aos alimentos por moradores de favelas é permeado pela falta de recursos e elementos fundamentais para uma alimentação adequada e saudável, como: a falta de informação sobre alimentação; a renda insuficiente; e a baixa disponibilidade de estabelecimentos que comercializam alimentos saudáveis a preços acessíveis. São necessários programas e políticas públicas que incentivem a ampliação de equipamentos de segurança alimentar e nutricional, como hortas e feiras, e que aumentem a oferta de alimentos saudáveis com valores baixos nas favelas. Também são necessárias ações que abordem a complexidade das barreiras enfrentadas por moradores de favelas para ter acesso aos alimentos saudáveis.

RESUMO: Avaliar a formação dos trabalhadores Técnicos em Enfermagem é uma necessidade para entender como esta formação se relaciona com a atuação profissional. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se traçar o perfil dos egressos de uma escola técnica; identificar como avaliam o processo ensino-aprendizagem realizado no curso; avaliar, na perspectiva dos egressos, a formação vivenciada em relação a sua atuação profissional. Estudo exploratório descritivo, com dados quantitativos distribuídos conforme frequência absoluta e relativa e qualitativos submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Participaram 128 egressos, 92,97% mulheres; 34,37 % casadas; 77,34% com menos de 40 anos; 64,07% conseguiram trabalho em até seis meses após o fim do curso; 40,63% estão empregados no serviço privado; a maioria das disciplinas foram consideradas suficientes para atuação profissional, com percentuais acima de 80%. Sistematizaram-se as temáticas: a formação técnica é passaporte para a inserção no mundo do trabalho; da formação técnica à formação humana integral; do papel dos professores na formação e coisas que poderiam ser diferentes no Curso Técnico em Enfermagem. A formação, na perspectiva dos egressos, foi suficiente e determinante em suas vidas para inserção e permanência no trabalho, demonstrando a importância de espaços públicos de formação técnica em enfermagem.
