Galandy, gadziny, szpigle, żigloki... – stroje ludowe w zbiorach Muzeum Historii Katowic
Authors: Toboła-Feliks Magdalena
Published: December 2023

Regionalne stroje ludowe, odzwierciedlające określone postawy wobec tradycji, dawniej spełniały rolę wielowymiarowego identyfikatora. Określenie „strój ludowy” odnosi się w istocie do odświętnego (paradnego) ubioru chłopskiego. Stroje te były kompletowane starannie, dużym nakładem kosztów oraz wysiłkuwłasnego (często szyto je i zdobiono własnoręcznie). Współcześnie zachwycają różnorodnością form i bogactwem zdobień, jednocześnie stawiając przed nami coraz trudniejsze pytania (skupione również wokół ich dzisiejszego funkcjonowania). Stroje ludowe stanowią także nieodłączny element muzealnych kolekcji etnograficznych. Artykuł ma na celu zilustrowanie zawartości zbioru odzieży regionalnej zdeponowanej w Dziale Etnologii Miasta Muzeum Historii Katowic. Jest to kolekcja o tyle ciekawa, że odnosi się do mieszkańców mocno uprzemysłowionego obszaru, którzy w zakresie ubioru przez długi czas pozostali wierni chłopskim tradycjom. Zarządzający tym zbiorem chcą zwiększyć zainteresowanie tym tematem poprzez wykorzystywanie stroju ludowego w działaniach o charakterze edukacyjno-popularyzatorskim.
Kolekcja Ireny Hochman i Tadeusza Mysłowskiego w zbiorach Muzeum Narodowego w Lublinie
Authors: Hałata Anna
Published: December 2023

W kształtowaniu strategii budowania zbiorów muzealnych istotne znaczenie mają kolekcje prywatne. Wśród wyjątkowo cennych darów włączonych w ostatnich latach do zbiorów Muzeum Narodowego w Lublinie na uwagę zasługuje donacja przekazana przez pochodzących z Lublina – nowojorską marszandkę Irenę Hochman i polsko-amerykańskiego artystę Tadeusza Mysłowskiego. Transformacje twórczości artystycznej donatora wpłynęły na specyfikę gromadzonego przez ponad pół wieku zasobu, który obrazuje istotne zjawiska w rodzimej grafice i sztuce światowej XX i XXI wieku. Charakter kolekcji pozwala pod wieloma względami uznać ją za reprezentatywną dla rozwoju głównych nurtów sztuki XX stulecia. Najliczniejszą grupę obiektów w zbiorze tworzą grafika i plakaty uzupełnione przez rysunki, fotografie, dokumentacje, książki artystyczne oraz mniej liczne przykłady malarstwai rzeźby autorstwa najwybitniejszych polskich grafików i artystów obcych.

Uczniowie Szkół Handlowych im. Vetterów w walkach o niepodległość i granice państwa
Authors: Surmacz Małgorzata
Published: December 2023

W latach 1914–1921 szeregi polskich formacji wojskowych licznie zasiliła młodzież szkolna i akademicka. Wśród niej byli wychowankowie Szkół Handlowych im. Augusta i Juliusza Vetterów w Lublinie. Młodzi żołnierze walczyli o odzyskanie niepodległości Polski na frontach I wojny światowej. W czasie wojny polsko-bolszewickiej w służbie odrodzonego Wojska Polskiego bronili granic i suwerenności państwa. Wielu z nich w 1919 roku wzięło udział w obronie Lwowa. Ocaleni w walkach kończyli szkoły, by podjąć studia na nowo powstałym Uniwersytecie Lubelskim. Jako oficerowie rezerwy walczyli w czasie II wojny światowej. Pamięć o poległych stała się zadaniem przyszłych pokoleń. Niedostateczność źródeł sprawia trudności w dokładnym wykazaniu służby wojskowej oraz ustaleniu miejsc pochówków uczniów-żołnierzy, zapomnianych bohaterów.

TTRank: A Temporal Model to Rank Online Twitter Users
Authors: Setu Shifat Jahan , Islam Tahmina , Bhuiyan Md Al-Amin , Anwar Md Musﬁque
Published: December 2023

Twitter is an online social network or a news media where users can post their desirable topical interests in the form tweets. This is a networking model where each user can choose who can follow her and whom she wants to follow. We can find the users who are very active in the social networks and consider them as influential users. This research addresses on Temporal Twitter Ranking (TTRank) to rank the influential users in Twitter. We apply Twitter-LDA topic modeling method to find the users’ topical interests. The time interval is an important factor as users’ topical interest can change over time i.e. users’ have different degree of topical interests at different timeinterval. So we give more emphasize on users’ most recent tweets. Our proposed approach also considers the impact of “Follower Influence” and “Retweet Influence”. The top influential users have been detected across different time intervals based on all the above mentioned factors and classified as “Highly Influential” and “Potential’ users. Experiment results on a real Twitter dataset demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed system.
Case Report: Limb Salvage after Delayed Brachial Artery Injury with Critical Limb Ischemia
Authors: Khalil Ayman Andrawis
Published: December 2023

Background ꓽ The superficial location of the brachial artery makes it the most frequently injured artery in the upper extremity; its injury represents approximately 28% of all vascular injuries. The objective of this study is to highlight that prompt revascularization can save the limb even in cases of delayed brachial artery injury with severe vascular compromise. Patients and Methods ꓽ It is a case study of 22-year male patient transferred to our hospital with critical limb ischemia following penetrating injury of his left elbow caused by glass during a fight .He presented to us 9 hours after the injury with hypotension, pallor, severe rest pain, cold and cyanosed extremity with absent distal pulses, and also he had bleeding lacerated wound at the region of left elbow. Diagnosis of brachial artery injury was made with clinical examination with no need for farther diagnostic modalities, and after rapid patient resuscitation, he was taken immediately to the theater and we performed end ̶ to ̶ end anastomosis of the brachial artery and also repair of the associated nerve injuries. Conclusion ꓽ Prompt surgical intervention with appropriate management is essential to save the limb in cases of delayed brachial artery injuries with critical limb ischemia.

Published: December 2023

Restenosis of the obstructive lesions in the superficial femoral or proximal popliteal artery, treated with angioplasty or bare nitinol stenting, frequently occurs. Paclitaxel-eluting stents have been developed to protect against restenosis with the sustained antiproliferative agent release over time. The aim of this study was to report the results about the primary patency in a cohort of patients with long and complex femoropopliteal lesions treated with the Eluvia Drug-Eluting Vascular Stent. The single-center, retrospective, single-arm, study enrolled 61 patients with chronic, symptomatic or asymptomatic, lower limb ischemia and stenotic or occlusive lesions in the superficial femoral artery or proximal popliteal artery. Mean lesion length was 129,3 ± 88,6. Efficacy measures at 18 months included primary patency, defined as duplex ultrasound peak systolic velocity ratio of ≤2.4 and the absence of target lesion revascularization or bypass. The Kaplan–Meier estimate of primary patency through 18 months was on average 83% and precisely 87.5% for patients TASC II A, 91% for patients TASC II B, 83% for patients TASC II C and 73% for patients TASC II D. Six months after the initial procedure primary patency was on average 91,5% and precisely 87.5% for patients TASC II A, 91% for patients TASC II B, 89,5% for patients TASC II C and 100% for patients TASC II D. No stent fractures were identified, and no major target limb amputations occurred. This study confirmed the efficacy of he paclitaxel-eluting Eluvia stent to treat long and complex femoropopliteal lesions.
How do adults think about problems related to children’s readiness for starting school?
Authors: Michalska Paulina
Published: December 2023

Wprowadzenie. W okresie dorosłości znaczenia nabierają postformalne sposoby rozumowania, ponieważ te formalno-logiczne nie pomagają rozwiązaniu problemów o treści życiowej (Gurba, 1993). Problemy te są powiązane głównie z funkcjonowaniem życia rodzinnego i dotyczą doświadczania kryzysów rozwojowych związanych ze zmianami zachodzącymi w rodzinie. Jednym z takich ważnych dla życia rodziny momentów jest czas, kiedy dziecko zaczyna edukację szkolną (Chojak, 2019), ponieważ modyfikacji ulega dotychczasowy rytm dnia (Czub, Matejczuk, 2014) i zmienia się cały system rodzinny (Skrzetuska, 2016). Cel. Głównym celem badań było określenie postformalnych sposobów rozumowania, wykorzystywanych przez osoby dorosłe podczas rozwiązywania problemów związanych z gotowością szkolną dzieci. Materiały i metody. W badaniu wykorzystano 8 z 18 problemów pochodzących z Kwestionariusza Sposobów Rozwiązywania Problemów Życiowych (autorzy: Paulina Michalska, Anna Szymanik-Kostrzewska), które dotyczą sytuacji rodziców dzieci rozpoczynających naukę szkolną. Wyniki. Osoby badane preferowały w największym stopniu rozwiązania problemów z poziomu metasystemowego. Dla uzyskanych rezultatów znaczenie miały takie zmienne, jak: wiek, wykształcenie i posiadanie dzieci. Potwierdzono znaczenie treści dylematów dla preferowanych rozwiązań. Wnioski. Najciekawszym wnioskiem płynącym z badań jest to, że osoby posiadające dzieci preferowały rozwiązania metasystemowe rzadziej niż osoby nieposiadające dzieci. Nie jest to zgodne z założeniem, że doświadczenie życiowe w danym obszarze przyczynia się do bardziej autonomicznych rozwiązań (m.in. Sebby, Papini, 1994; Michalska, 2015a). Może to wynikać z tego, że rodzice w sytuacji dylematu są nastawieni na konkretne rozwiązania problemu, a sposoby bardziej ogólne, o szerokim zasięgu są przez nich rzadziej brane pod uwagę.
Pedagogical Pragmatics
Authors: Sadow Lauren , Fernández Susana S.
Published: December 2023

This paper presents an overview of the advances in the application of the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) methodology in the fields of second and foreign language learning and teaching, and of intercultural education.
Our premise is that the NSM approach offers a valuable pedagogical contribution as a set of cross-translatable concepts that can be used in the classroom to explain both linguistic features as well as communicative and other social practices of a given language group. Pedagogical NSM is an emerging field where efforts are being made to test this approach in language education and to train teachers in applying this methodology in their daily practice. Here, we present the state of the art regarding pedagogical applications of NSM, including the construct of “cultural dictionaries” and the use of “Minimal Languages” for classroom explanations.
What is Porteño Spanish Lunfardo?
Authors: Hein Jan
Published: December 2023

Lunfardo, often described as “the slang of Buenos Aires” (capital city of Argentina), is a distinctive, well-researched feature of Porteño Spanish, the Spanish variety spoken in that city. This paper provides a comprehensive semantic model that accounts for the meanings and logics that guide “everyday” Porteños (people of Buenos Aires) in their understanding of this highly complex, culture-specific concept.

The proposed model offers fresh insights into Porteños’ construal of their own linguistic world, including people, places, words, discourses, and values that give shape to this world. The model is constructed using the natural semantic metalanguage’s (NSM) approach of maximally simple, clear, cross- translatable terms, and based on close analysis of cultural insiders’ collaborative conceptual exploration in live TV conversation.
The Effects of Biofuels on Food Security in Selected Countries
Authors: Babakhani Ebrahim , Rostamian Reza , Goudarzi Mostafa
Published: December 2023

Biofuels are produced as replacements for fossil fuels. Nevertheless, these fuels may jeopardize food security. No research has examined the relationship between the production of biofuels and food security in terms of their various dimensions. This study examined the effects of biofuels on food security in several developed and developing countries comprising oil-producing and developed countries. Dimensions of food security were including food availability, food accessibility, food utilization, and food stability. To this end, standard and neo-Malthusian theories combined with the food availability decline (FAD) theory were employed. In addition, the panel generalized method of moments (GMM) was used to estimate the relationships between variables. The results showed that food stability, population growth, and income inequality were measured by the Gini index, and unemployment was significantly higher in developing countries than in developed countries. Conversely, food security, food availability, food accessibility, food utilization, land area, total biofuel production, agricultural credit allocation, and food product prices were higher in developed countries than in developing countries. The increase in biofuel production reduced food security by 0.031%, 0.047%, and 0.064% in all countries, developing and developed countries, respectively. In developing countries, biofuels had a significant impact on food accessibility and food availability. However, biofuels had significant and positive effects on food stability and utilization. In developed countries, biofuels had negative effects on food accessibility, stability, and availability and positive effects on food utilization (0.016%). In conclusion, policies are needed to mitigate the negative effects of biofuels on food security.
The Climate Effect on Colombian Coffee Prices and Quantities Based on Risk Analysis and the Hedging Strategy in Discrete Setting Approach
Authors: Pantoja-Robayo Javier , Rodriguez-Guevara David
Published: December 2023

This paper provides a risk-hedging strategy for coffee markets including climate impact in the context of Colombian Coffee producers, companies, regulators, and policymakers. From the intermediaries' perspective, we present a hedging price and quantity risks using financial instruments based on price and weather variables (El Niño and La Niña phenomena). The coffee price and quantities produced are mitigated by the inclusion of climatic variables in two ways: first, through analysing the changes observed in the forward curve against spot price measuring the deterministic effect, known in this market as the forward risk premium. Second, including the weather index in the hedge structure on price and quantity in the coffee market improves the agent's result; this latter aims to improve the hedging claim's performance due to the link between demanded volume and weather-linked index. An experiment shows the strategy profit over the best-performing claim price derived only and without hedging.
Adapting Agriculture: Policy Implications of the Rise of Resistant Seeds in Farmers' Climate Change Strategy
Authors: Ščurková Dáša , Marčanová Marianna
Published: December 2023

This paper explores farmers' perceptions of climate change and their preferred adaptive and mitigatory strategies within Slovakia's Nitra region, aiming to devise recommendations for climate change-oriented agricultural policies. Our methodology incorporates an analysis of perspectives gathered from a regional survey using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and SuperDecisions software, complemented by a risk-attitude assessment using the modified Multiple Price Lists (MPL) method. A subsequent heterogeneity analysis correlates these preferences with respondents' socio-economic status and risk attitudes. Our findings underscore the use of improved, resilient seeds as a favored adaptation measure and reveal a correlation between farmers' socio-economic attributes and their climate change strategy preferences. Based on this, we propose inclusive, micro-level agricultural policies that prioritize the unique climatic needs of the Nitra region and strongly consider the priority viewpoints of farmers within this region, aiming to promote sustainable agriculture under changing climatic conditions.
School Principals’ Work Intensification and Resilience: A Call for Structural Change
Authors: Pollock Katina , Nielsen Ruth , Singh Shankar
Published: December 2023

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, principals have taken on increased responsibilities. Principals who are thriving are praised for their resilience while those who are struggling are inundated with calls to build their resilience. In this conceptual article, we problematize the overemphasis on individual responsibility that is implicit in pro-resilience narratives. We reviewed the interdisciplinary literature and used an inductive approach to examine resilience narratives across historical and disciplinary arcs, with specific attention given to the school leadership literature. We argue that, within the context of this pro-resilience movement, if attention is not given to the structural conditions of work intensification, the education system is setting K–12 principals up to experience adverse unintended consequences. These consequences can worsen existing mental health issues, such as occupational burnout, or exacerbate mental health stigma. We conclude by suggesting that structural changes could disrupt this individualization of responsibility and overreliance on the personal resiliency of school principals.

Abbess, Judge, Jailor: Authority and Imprisonment at Holy Trinity, Caen
Authors: Gathagan Laura L.
Published: December 2023

The abbey of Holy Trinity, Caen, was founded by Mathilda of Flanders, Duchess of
Normandy and Queen of England, in June 1066. The abbesses of Holy Trinity are
the focus of this study, especially their judicial role and their power to
imprison. These rarely discussed aspects of women’s authority are
revealed in Manchester, John Rylands Library, GB 133 BMC/66. Produced in 1292 at
the meeting of the Exchequer at Rouen, the modest parchment reveals the
existence of a prison in Ouistreham, France, under the authority of the abbesses
of Holy Trinity. This article engages heretofore unexamined elements of female
abbatial authority, jurisdiction and the mechanisms of justice. The preservation
of BMC/66 also reflects the documentary imperatives of the women who governed
Holy Trinity and fits into a broader context of memory and documentary
culture.

Boosting Booster Trust: Negotiating a Jungle of Misinformation
Authors: Bondi Marina , Nocella Jessica Jane
Published: December 2023

Abstract Misinformation, disinformation, and fake news are available across diverse media, causing distrust in governmental and health institutions. In this context, the use of language has been of great interest in research, specifically in health communication, on social media, and in traditional news media. Our aim is to analyse and compare how the successive doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been presented in different forms of knowledge communication, namely scientific research papers and the media, including online magazines and newspaper articles. By focusing on frequency, collocates, and phraseology of booster and dose, we trace differences in how boosters are presented in both lay and professional contexts of communication. Scientific discourse shows a marked preference for the more neutral and cautious term dose, which is also associated with the description of administration procedures. News discourse is characterised both by a higher incidence of the word booster (implying a reinforcement of an already existing immunity) and by the choice of referring to the institutional voices recommending vaccines. Results shed light on how different discourses manifest their perceived functions through lexical choice, as well as how news discourse uses and reinterprets scientific discourse in the light of what is relevant to the audience.
Sense-Making/Giving during the COVID-19 Crisis: A Multi-Method Study of Health Podcasting in Australia and the U.S.
Authors: Maglie Rosita , Groicher Matthew
Published: December 2023

Abstract Sense-making and sense-giving represent an issue of communication (Weick et al. 2005). The former is associated with emotional processes of crisisassessment and cognitive processes of justifying and seeking social acceptance for decisions (Søderberg and Vaara 2003), while the latter is the framework communicated to the public to facilitate their understanding and subsequently motivate certain actions (Maitlis and Christianson 2014). The medium used to communicate this framework varies depending on the relationship an authority figure has with their audience. Analysis of this communication and its medium has focused primarily on political leaders through the lens of the Charismatic, Ideological and Pragmatic (CIP) model (Crayne and Medeiros 2020), and of the Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA) (Wodak 2021). This study uses both the CIP model and the DHA via Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (CADS) to examine influential physicians communicating the COVID-19 crisis in health podcasts in the U.S. and Australia. It therefore interprets the healthrelated information they disseminate, and how this information is framed and given meaning, to develop a perspective on how and why these podcasters differ in how they make sense of the crisis and, consequently, appeal to a broader audience.
“A Pandemic within the Pandemic”: A CDA of Social Media Comments on Domestic Violence during COVID-19
Authors: Napolitano Antonella
Published: December 2023

Abstract Violence against women is a ubiquitous phenomenon, characterised by a series of psychological, physical, sexual, and persecutory acts that cause harm and suffering of various kinds to the victim. The issue, already declared a pandemic by the UN Secretary General in 2008, became a worrying pandemic within the pandemic with the outbreak of the epidemiological emergency from COVID-19 in the early 2020s. From the beginning, the media and specialised services spoke of a possible increased risk of adverse outcomes for the health and well-being of those already living in vulnerable situations before the onset of COVID-19. The threat was due to forced confinement (lockdown) and the difficulties for victims living with the abuser to report and turn to support services. A vital role in the rethinking and reorganisation of services and in the networking that has underpinned social work in the emergency period is represented by the use of technology and the modification of information flows that followed. A strong propensity emerges for the widespread use of digital tools, of the net in the widest sense, up to the use of social media, both to intercept beneficiaries and for the provision of services and their communication. The present study investigates user-generated discourse about domestic violence during COVID-19 by examining the replies to a Facebook post by the World Health Organization (WHO) (on 24 June 2021) reporting the increased risk for women during the pandemic. Critical Discourse Analysis represents a valid framework to investigate social media communication as expressing ideological meanings and sustaining hierarchically gendered social orders. In particular, the study seeks to identify the discursive means employed by online users to frame domestic abuse and express their position. It has also uncovered how the users exploit the topic to convey their views on other issues related to COVID-19 (e.g. vaccines, government policies).
Receita de ambrosia: peça didática
Authors: Mortatti Maria do Rosário Longo
Published: December 2023

Este livro deriva do poema “Receita de ambrosia”, publicado no livro “Em sobressaltos: formação de professora”. Caracteriza-se como um segundo ato daquele, em duplo sentido: retoma o tema/problema por meio de desdobramento do segundo ato, “O ritual”, e dá continuidade a dois artigos em que tematizo a alfabetização/ensino de língua portuguesa como processo discursivo. O objetivo é problematizar a formação inicial de professores para a compreensão ativa do processo discursivo, considerando que, para ensiná-lo, não basta falar sobre. É necessário também mostrar fazendo nas relações de ensino-aprendizagem de que os futuros professores participam aqui e agora como alunos que se formam para o magistério. Inspiro-me na concepção de “peça didática”, de Bertolt Brecht, com finalidade de “educação estética-política”, por meio da encenação de um “modelo de ação”. A discussão do problema é mostrada em seis cenas que sintetizam momentos “cruciais” das atividades da disciplina Conteúdo, Metodologia e Prática de Ensino: Língua Portuguesa e Literatura Infantil, que ministro no curso de Pedagogia da Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências da Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), câmpus de Marília. O objetivo, entretanto, não é apresentar modelo a ser copiado ou prescrições a serem seguidas. Embora o termo “receita” (etimologicamente, “recebido”) remeta a discurso instrucional, indicando relação de ingredientes e modo de fazer, o modelo de/em ação aqui encenado se caracteriza como roteiro de uma antirreceita, de um antirritual. Porque igualmente afetada e modificada pela condição de participante-observadora do processo encenado, convido-os a compartilhar esta peça didática como materialização de antigo e ambicioso desejo: que também ela configure um processo discursivo a propiciar experiência formativa aos leitores/espectadores assim como sua elaboração proporcionou a esta pesquisadora-narradora-personagem.
On Quasi Maximal Ideals of Commutative Rings
Authors: Alan Murat , Kılıç Mesut , Koç Suat , Tekir Ünsal
Published: December 2023

Let $$R$$ be a commutative ring with $$1\ne 0$$. A proper ideal $$I$$ of $$R$$ is said to be a quasi maximal ideal if for every $$a\in R-I$$, either $$I+Ra=R$$ or $$I+Ra$$ is a maximal ideal of $$R$$. This class of ideals lies between 2-absorbing ideals and maximal ideals which is different from prime ideals. In addition to give fundamental properties of quasi maximal ideals, we characterize principal ideal UN-rings with $$\sqrt{0}^2=(0)$$, direct product of two fields, and Noetherian zero dimensional modules in terms of quasi maximal ideals.

Published: December 2023

In reactor dosimetry it is well known that the empirical determination of the neutron flux is performed by determining the isotope 54Mn generated in a (n, γ) nuclear reaction. This study presents a procedure for the simultaneous determination of the radioisotopes 54Mn and 59Fe, developed to obtain more complete information about the process. The basis of the method is the irradiation of iron-plate detectors with a neutron flux generated in a VVER-type nuclear reactor and subsequent gamma spectrometric analysis of the samples to determine the two radionuclides obtained in two simultaneous (n,x) and (n, γ) nuclear reactions. A very important stage of the assay is the preliminary radiochemical treatment of the samples involving the removal of oxides and corrosion products and the dissolution of the plates in strong mineral acids.
The results show that our approach of simultaneous determination of 54Mn and 59Fe significantly improves the time of analyses, reduces the radiation dose, and increases the accuracy and efficiency of neutron fluence determination. The procedures are relatively easy to perform and are suitable for application in routine studies.
Harnessing PSO and GA for Congestion Control in High-speed Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Rathinasamy Vidhya , Krishnan Poonguzhali , Ponnusamy Geetha , Raj Murugananth
Published: December 2023

Sensor and sink nodes create wireless sensor networks. Traffic congestion caused by WSN data transfer causes bigger packet losses, low throughput and excessive energy consumption. This work proposes a hybrid congestion management approach using genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization. The new approach is simulated and compared to established methods. The suggested system dramatically improved performance metrics. The suggested system of interest increased to 94% detection efficiency, 91% network lifespan, 106 J energy usage, and 22 packet loss rate. The hybrid approach avoided wireless sensor network congestion and managed traffic.
Determination of Some Selected Heavy Metals in Wheat and Pepper Samples Collected from Gaziantep (Türkiye)
Authors: Mencik Kamil , Dogan Muhittin , Pehlivan Mustafa
Published: December 2023

It is very important for the environment and human health to determine the level of accumulation of pollutants in the soil and in the edible parts of plants, especially as a result of the intensive use of chemicals in agricultural activities. For this reason, this study was carried out to determine the heavy metal levels (Cd, Pb, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe and Co) of wheat grain, red pepper and samples of soil from Nurdağı and Islahiye districts where intensive agricultural activities are carried out in Gaziantep (Türkiye). Sampling of agricultural products and their cultivated soils was made at harvest time. The Cd and Pb levels of red pepper and the Cd, Pb and Cr levels of the soil collected from Nurdağı were generally higher than those of FAO/WHO limits. Lead content of wheat grain collected from Nurdağı and Cd and Pb contents of soil samples were also higher than the permissible limits. On the other hand, Cd levels of red pepper and soil samples from Islahiye were higher than those of the FAO/WHO limits. In addition, it was determined that Pb and Cr levels of wheat and Cd and Pb levels of soil samples from Islahiye were generally above permissible limits. On the other hand, in the samples collected from Nurdağı, the highest bioaccumulation factor (BAF) values were calculated for Cd, Cu and Zn in red pepper and for Cu, Zn and Pb in wheat grains. Considering the samples collected from Islahiye, the highest BAF values were calculated in Zn, Cr and Pb for red pepper, and Zn, Cd and Cu for wheat grains. As a result, the concentrations of some heavy metals such as Cd, Pb and Cr were found to be higher than the recommended limits. It was concluded that the reason for this is the intense application of agricultural activities, especially pesticides and inorganic fertilizers, in both districts.

Authors: Huang Jianhua , Wang Hongwei
Published: December 2023

Backgrounds: Skin wounds are a kind of refractory disease frequently encountered in clinic, which brings enormous burden to patients. Great efforts to address the dilemma of wound healing have yielded some encouraging results, but they are still unsatisfactory. 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been developed as a promising noninvasive treatment for skin wounds. A systematic review was performed to determine the existing evidence base for the clinical use of ALA-PDT on refractory wounds.

Methods: We conducted a PubMed search for English literature related to the clinical treatment of human skin ulcers by ALA-PDT published from 2012 to 2022, and performed a systematic review.

Results: 25 studies were ultimately selected in the present review and summarized, including six studies of skin cancer, five studies of chronic leg ulcers, three studies of erosive pustular skin diseases, and two studies of erosive oral lichen planus symptoms. A total of 335 patients had approximately 355 ulcers, of which 315 ulcers received photodynamic therapy and 276 improved with ALA-PDT. 20% ALA solution, wavelength between 600 nm and 670 nm, energy density of 120 J/cm2, frequency of once per week and 3 sessions were the most selected therapeutic parameters. Generally, ALA-PDT for wounds was effective with main adverse events of mild to moderate pain, and follow-up was generally conducted within 1 year.

Conclusions: This systematic review summarized the commonly used therapeutic parameters for ALA-PDT in the clinical treatment of skin wounds. After ALA-PDT alone or ALA-PDT combined with curettage, antibacterial and surgical treatment, all wounds healed well, and the adverse reactions were mainly mild to moderate pain, which could be relieved by cooling. ALA-PDT had proven to be a promising wound treatment modality through evidence of safety and efficacy.
Lexical and cognitive development of children learning regional languages: Studies from the Netherlands
Authors: Blom Elma
Published: December 2023

Regional language speakers are subject to negative social judgments. In this contribution, I provide an overview of research in the Netherlands with children who are regional language learners against the backdrop of this deficit perspective. Findings on the lexical and cognitive development of children from Fryslân, a northern Dutch province, and Limburg, a southern Dutch province, demonstrate that regional language acquisition is neither associated with language delays nor with any cognitive difficulties. Linguistic overlap between Frisian and Limburgish, on the one hand, and Dutch, on the other hand, results in ample opportunities to share linguistic resources, experiences, and knowledge. Especially unbalanced children benefit from this cross-linguistic overlap because they can make use of their stronger language to perform in the weaker language. Cross-linguistic regularities between the regional and national language are helpful and support performance in the regional language. Results on cognitive effects suggest that regional language learners have some selective attention advantages. Although significant, the effects are small, the advantages do not last long, and they require sufficient exposure to and proficiency in the regional language.

Published: December 2023

Background

Social media has become a massive encyclopedia of almost anything due to its content richness. People tell stories, write comments and feedback, and share knowledge through social media. The information available on social media enables ‘clueless’ travelers to get quick travel recommendations in the tourism sector. Through a simple query, such as typing ‘places to visit in Bali’, travelers can get many blog articles to help them decide which places of interest to visit. However, doing this reading task without a helper can be overwhelming.

Methods

To overcome this problem, we developed Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT)-based tourism named entity recognition system, which is used to highlight tourist destination places in the query result. BERT is a state-of-the-art machine learning framework for natural language processing that can give a decent performance in various settings and cases. Our developed tourism named entity recognition (NER) model specifies three different tourist destinations: heritage, natural, and purposefully built (man-made or artificial). The dataset is taken from various tourism-related community articles and posts.

Results

The model achieved an average F1-score of 0.80 and has been implemented into a traveling destination recommendation system. By using this system, travelers can get quick recommendations based on the popularity of places visited in the query frame.

Discussion

Based on the survey that we conducted to target respondents who have never visited and have no or limited knowledge about tourist attractions in some example cities, their average interest level from the recommendation results is higher than four on a scale of 1 to 5. Thus, it can be considered a good recommendation. Furthermore, the NER model performance is comparable to another related research.
ELM-KL-LSTM: a robust and general incremental learning method for efficient classification of time series data
Authors: Zhou Qiao , Wang Zhong-Yi , Huang Lan
Published: December 2023

Efficiently analyzing and classifying dynamically changing time series data remains a challenge. The main issue lies in the significant differences in feature distribution that occur between old and new datasets generated constantly due to varying degrees of concept drift, anomalous data, erroneous data, high noise, and other factors. Taking into account the need to balance accuracy and efficiency when the distribution of the dataset changes, we proposed a new robust, generalized incremental learning (IL) model ELM-KL-LSTM. Extreme learning machine (ELM) is used as a lightweight pre-processing model which is updated using the new designed evaluation metrics based on Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence values to measure the difference in feature distribution within sliding windows. Finally, we implemented efficient processing and classification analysis of dynamically changing time series data based on ELM lightweight pre-processing model, model update strategy and long short-term memory networks (LSTM) classification model. We conducted extensive experiments and comparation analysis based on the proposed method and benchmark methods in several different real application scenarios. Experimental results show that, compared with the benchmark methods, the proposed method exhibits good robustness and generalization in a number of different real-world application scenarios, and can successfully perform model updates and efficient classification analysis of incremental data with varying degrees improvement of classification accuracy. This provides and extends a new means for efficient analysis of dynamically changing time-series data.
A systematic review and meta-analysis of magnetic resonance and computed tomography enterography in the diagnosis of small intestinal tumors
Authors: Li Ruitao , Ye Shengqiang , Zhou Chenglong , Liu Feng , Li Xiaonan
Published: December 2023

Objective

To explore the potential value of magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) enterography in the diagnosis of small intestinal tumor (SIT).

Methods

Articles reporting on the diagnosis of SIT by MR and CT enterography deposited in Chinese and foreign literature databases were identified and evaluated using the quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies (QUADAS). The diagnostic data extracted from the articles were adopted for meta-analysis using Meta-disc 1.40 software. Analysis was undertaken to compare the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios, and the diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) of MR and CT enterography in the diagnosis of SIT. The diagnostic values of the two imaging methods were analyzed by summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curves. The meta-analysis was registered at INPLASY (202380053).

Results

A total of eight articles, including 551 cases of SIT were included in this analysis. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of MR enterography were 0.92 (95% CI [0.89–0.95]) and 0.81 (95% CI [0.74–0.86]), respectively, whilst CT enterography had a sensitivity of 0.93 (95% CI [0.90–0.95]) and a specificity of 0.83 (95% CI [0.76–0.88]). For MR enterography, the combined positive likelihood ratio was 4.90 (95% CI [3.50–6.70]), the combined negative likelihood ratio was 0.10 (95% CI [0.07–0.14]), and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was 0.940. For CT enterography, the corresponding values were 5.40 (95% CI [3.90–7.40]), 0.08 (95% CI [0.06–0.12]), and 0.950, respectively. When the pretest probability for MR was assumed to be 50%, the posterior probabilities for positive and negative results were calculated as 83% and 9%, respectively. For CT enterography with a pretest probability of 50%, the posterior probabilities of positive and negative results were 84% and 8%, respectively.

Conclusion

MR and CT enterography have high accuracy in the diagnosis of SIT and have a valuable role in the diagnosis and management of these tumors.
Initial decomposition of floating leaf blades of Nymphoides peltata (S.G. Gmel.) O. Kuntze (Menyanthaceae): causes, impact and succession
Authors: Klok Peter F. , van der Velde Gerard
Published: December 2023

Background

During a study on the outdoor floating leaf blade production of Nymphoides peltata (S.G. Gmel.) O. Kuntze (Fringed Water Lily), initial leaf blade decomposition was studied by simultaneously measuring infected, damaged and lost area of floating leaf blades.

Methods

Data on initial decomposition over time were collected for all leaves during one growth season in four plots: two in outdoor mesocosms and two in an oxbow lake. Each leaf was tagged uniquely upon appearance in a plot. The vegetation in the mesocosms differed with respect to plant species, one contained a monoculture of N. peltata and the other N. peltata associated with Glyceria fluitans (L.) R. Br. and G. maxima (Hartm.) Holmb. The lake plots were situated within a monospecific N. peltata stand, differing in depth and position within the stand. Leaf length, visually estimated percentages of damaged area for each damage type, and decay of the tagged leaves were recorded bi-weekly. When the leaf blades sunk under the water surface or disappeared completely, they were no longer followed. Under water the leaves decayed and were consumed by snails completely, so contributing to the detritus food chain.

Results

The observed causes of damage on floating leaves were consumption and/or damage by waterbirds (Fulica atra), pond snails, caterpillars (Elophila nymphaeata, Cataclysta lemnata), chironomid larvae (Cricotopus trifasciatus), infection by a phytopathogenic fungus (Septoria villarsiae), senescence by autolysis, and microbial decay. Successional changes in causes of leaf decomposition and impacts of different causes are discussed.
