SOUND NOMINATIONS AS AN AXIOLOGICAL COMPONENT OF ARTISTIC SPACE IN K. MODICK’S NOVEL “KONZERT OHNE DICHTER”
Authors: Khripunova Ilona Igorevna
Published: October 2019

The article is devoted to identifying value meanings of sound nominations in K. Modick’s novel “Konzert ohne Dichter”, which has not previously attracted linguists’ attention and is for the first time analysed from the linguo-axiological viewpoint. The researcher identifies sound sources and their functions, describes the means of sound verbalization, shows how sound nominations correlate with values. The paper concludes that the technique of immersing sound nominations into a certain context forms stable associative relation, which allows interpreting a situation, phenomenon, actions or a sound image itself from the axiological perspective.
MEANING CONSTRUCTION IN CASE OF DELIBERATE VERBAL AMBIGUITY
Authors: Ustinova Tat'yana Viktorovna
Published: October 2019

The article aims to identify the parameters to construct actual verbal meaning in the situation of semantic conflict. The originality of the study involves considering the meaningful perception of an ambiguous statement as purposeful cognitive activity based on universal principles regardless of the ambiguity level. The research findings have allowed the author to represent meaning construction as a process of dynamic conceptualization determined by systemic linguistic factors, pragmatic conditions and the conceptualizer’s subjective characteristics.
OMANI ARABIC: HISTORICAL AND LINGUISTIC DESCRIPTION
Authors: Zarytovskaya Viktoriya Nikolaevna , Al-Rahbi Ahmed Mohammed
Published: October 2019

The article consistently examines the phonetic, grammatical and lexical features of Omani Arabic as a dialect strongly contrasting the literary variant ( al-fuṣḥā ) compared to other dialects of the Arabian Peninsula. For the first time the authors propose a thesis that the basic factors of Omani Arabic formation were associated with the key historical events that occurred in this part of the Arabic world in the last centuries - from the settlement of the genuine Arabic tribes in the Arabian Peninsula to migration waves to Oman from the Asian region. The authors show the uniqueness of Omani Arabic, which easily assimilates lexical units borrowed from the non-European languages and emphasize the relevance and incompleteness of this process.

The Association of Motivation with Mind Wandering in Trait and State Levels
Authors: Kawagoe Toshikazu , Onoda Keiichi , Yamaguchi Shuhei
Published: October 2019

Mind wandering is a phenomenon in which attention drifts away from a given task towards task-unrelated thoughts. Recent studies have demonstrated that mind wandering occurs during tasks in which participants are demotivated. However, motivation ranges on a continuum from trait to state. We examined the association between trait/state motivation and trait/state mind wandering. We used common questionnaires and an experience sampling method through a sustained attention response task for measuring those indices. Through correlation analyses, we demonstrated an association between motivation and mind wandering within the same dimension (trait and state, respectively) but found no association across dimensions. Our results indicate that motivation in personality affects the occurrence of daily mind wandering, but not state mind wandering, which is affected by state motivation. Although the relationship between motivation and mind wandering is substantial, mind wandering at the state-level might be a more phasic phenomenon than expected, driven by a range of factors such as state motivation.
Consequences of poverty on economic decision-making: Assessing the verisimilitude of the cognitive mechanism
Authors: Adamkovic Matus
Published: October 2019

The paper aims to assess the verisimilitude of the hypothesized model of poverty perpetuation linking socioeconomic situation and economic preferences via cognitive load, executive functions, and intuitive/deliberative decision-making style. The proposed model as a whole has not found required support in data, and simultaneously, the dyadic relationships between the variables have been mainly weak. Sensitivity analysis has revealed that the majority of the observed estimates varies substantively depending on the arbitrary analytic decisions of the researcher. The findings could be primarily attributed to (1) the possibility that the nature of economic preferences resembles stable personality traits and hence the preferences are only weakly determined by cognitive dispositions or patterns of emotional/cognitive responses in a long run; (2) the high social equality and relatively low poverty rate in Slovakia, which currently allows the majority of the inhabitants to afford elementary goods and meet the basic needs, regardless of their economic situation; (3) the fact that the current state of knowledge in behavioral sciences is burdened by multiple problems (e.g., lack of good theory, complicated issue of causality, prevalence of questionable research practices, or publication bias), resulting into poor replicability and low credibility of the knowledge, implies that the theories upon which the model was built might not necessarily be true. The hypothesized cognitive mechanism does not allow to explain what economic decision-making depends on, neither why do people fall into poverty traps.
Cognitive Frames in Media Discourse: 'The Guardian' Coverage of the Syrian Refugee Crisis in Europe (2015-2019)
Authors: Zheni Thouraya
Published: October 2019

The aim of the present paper is examining the mental representations activated by semantic networks in media discourse. It studies the cognitive frames that are mentally constructed and activated about illegal immigrants, in general, and Syrian refugees in particular. Any word class can evoke frames, but to limit the scope of analysis, Fairclough's socio-cultural approach is implemented to work out the experiential, relational and expressive values of only nouns and adjectives in media discourse. The corpus consists of articles released by The Guardian newspaper during and after the Syrian refugee crisis between 2015 and 2019. The results of the research show that cognitive frames are used to enhance the stereotypical categorizations of refugees as dislocated, uprooted and oppressed communities. This paper focuses on the mental mapping of such disadvantaged people and how they are categorized and presented in media discourse. It also analyses nouns and adjectives as generators or builders of cognitive frames in the human mind via discourse. This study is original because it relates semantic networks, mental lexicon and cognitive frames to analyze media discourse.

Opportunities and Questions: A Short Report on Rubric Assessments in Asia and the Middle East
Authors: Goodwin Ronnie
Published: October 2019

This qualitative short report considers the viability of the use of rubrics or alternative methods to assess writing in Asia and the Middle East. The background of learning theories, assessment types, and self-assessment literature provides a foundation for further discussion of the appropriate use of rubrics, including the prioritization of criterion, the quality of scoring, the impact of organizational features on scoring, the influence of bias, and the best application of rubric assessment. Relevant points for further study are identified, such as differentiation in research between generalized analytical rating systems and rubric assessment with specific, empirical criterion. The contradictory research regarding the advantages and disadvantages of rubric assessment in comparison with holistic assessment are of particular and crucial interest for global pedagogy. Many of the reviewed Western articles excluded Asian perspectives- except for China- and thus present a limited understanding of social and educational compatibility with new assessments and rubric assessments in particular. The discussion identifies patterns and points of contention and seeks to explore viewpoints rather than limit the scope of inquiry and consideration thus noting that relevant literature suggests that with appropriate teacher training, teachers may appropriately use rubrics as a formative assessment tool for writing in Asia and the Middle East.
Creative Writing from Theory to Practice: Multi-Tasks for Developing Majmaah University Students' Creative Writing Competence
Authors: Mohammed Faiza Abdalla Elhussien
Published: October 2019

This research investigates the efficiency of applying creative writing multi-tasks in developing level 4 female English major students’ creative writing competence. The study conducted for 12 weeks in 2018- 2019 academic year, in Zulfi College of Education, Majmaah University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The sample consists of 64 female students divided equally into two groups: experimental and control groups. The experimental group studied an advanced college writing course supported by the creative writing multitasks designed by the researcher. A group of pre and posttest design was applied in the study. When the pre and posttest’s scores of the experimental group were analyzed and compared, it was detected that there was a statistically considerable difference in the pre- and posttest scores, in favor of posttest’s score. Also, it shows that there was a significant difference in the mean scores of the experimental and control group posttest’s scores, favoring the experimental group posttest’s score. These results prove the main research hypothesis: Creative writing multi-tasks have a significant impact on developing the experimental group’s creative writing competence, compared to the control group. The findings indicate that using creative writing multitasks has a positive effect on developing the students’ creative writing competence in both fiction and nonfiction essays. It is recommended for English language teachers to adopt similar creative writing multitasks when teaching writing skill.
The Use of Images for Teaching Abstract Words Versus Concrete Words: A Semiotic Study
Authors: Qadha Adil Mohammed Hamoud , Mahdi Hassan Saleh
Published: October 2019

Semiotics has been investigated in the literature to enhance second language vocabulary acquisition. The previous studies have examined how semiotics could aid second language (L2) learner to learn concrete words. This study aims at investigating the effect of semiotics on learning abstract words. Fifty-five Arab learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) participated in the study and assigned into three groups. The first group was taught abstract words using semiotics. The second group was taught concrete words using semiotics. The third group was taught the same words using a traditional way, i.e., without semiotics. Results of the post-test indicated that participants in semiotics groups (either concrete or abstract) outscored the participants who did not use semiotics to learn new words. The study concluded that semiotics is a useful tool to enhance learning new words. Also, semiotics can be more helpful in learning concrete words than abstract words.

Influence factors of pop-in in the nanoindentation micromechanical property measurement of gas-bearing shale
Authors: Wang Ligeng , Zhang Yuanzhong , Wu Wensheng
Published: October 2019

Studying the micromechanical properties of gas-bearing shale is very important for understanding it. In the nanoindentation measurement of gas-bearing shale, the load-displacement curve often shows pop-in at the loading stage, namely the change of load is small but the change of penetration depth is large. Pop-in can introduce a large error in the calculation of the mechanical parameter. To investigate the influence factors of pop-in, the maximum load, load rate and sample characteristics have been addressed. The results show that pop-in is related to cracks and pores in the shale. Due to the heterogeneity of shale, pop-in cannot be avoided, but can be reduced by choosing reliable load modes and test parameters. Pop-in can increase the maximum indentation depth and decrease the elastic modulus and hardness. The influence of pop-in on hardness is larger than on the elastic modulus. At a high load rate it is easy to induce pop-in. The influence of the load rate on pop-in is larger than that of the maximum load.
Validation of the dynamic response of the HMA layer in an inverted pavement measured by strain foils
Authors: Han Zhenqiang , Sha Aimin , Hu Liqun , Wu Rongzong
Published: October 2019

Strain in pavement caused by traffic loading is a critical driver for various distress mechanisms. In this study, strain foils (SFs) are utilized to measure longitudinal strains at the bottom of a hot mixed asphalt (HMA) layer in an indoor inverted pavement. The validity and reliability of SF-measured strain are investigated through three tests using a heavy vehicle simulator (HVS). The three tests focus on the consistency and stability of strain measured by individual SFs and various SFs installed at similar positions, as well as the consistency of strain measured by SF and an asphalt strain gauge (ASG) at different test speeds, load levels, and loading cycles in an accelerated pavement test (APT). Fast Fourier transform is utilized to filter out interference in the raw SF strain data. Filtered SF-measured strains were converted into ASG-measured strain based on effective gauge lengths. Research results show that converted SF-measured strains did not reveal a significant statistical difference compared with strains simultaneously collected by ASG under different test loads and speeds throughout the APT at 300,000 repetitions. Moreover, individual SF can provide consistent results with the coefficient of variation (CV) less than 3.3 % under different speeds and load levels, and SFs installed at similar positions showed similar average maximum strain variations (MSVs) with a maximum difference of 5.8 %. Moreover, the linear correlations between the average MSV and the test load, as well as the speed further verified the validity of SF-measured strain. It is believed that SF could be a viable alternative for strain monitoring in asphalt pavement.
Determination of the modulus of linearity of acrylic bases and acrylic teeth
Authors: Pavlin Martin , Predan Jožef , Gubeljak Nenad , Ćelić Robert
Published: October 2019

Dental prostheses are manufactured by synthesizing poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA) in a cavitation model with incorporated acrylic teeth. For the analysis of stress-strain state in the acrylic base and the artificial acrylic teeth, it is necessary to know the mechanical properties of each material. Today it is possible to find the data on the physical and chemical properties of the acrylic base in literature, but data on the modulus of linearity of acrylic teeth is not available. The paper presents the determination procedure of the linearity of the acrylic base and teeth, by performing separate tensile tests of the acrylic base and compression of a cylindrical sample, which is partly made of an acrylic base and dental acryl. Tests were performed at room temperature under the stroke control of a servo-hydraulic testing machine, while the elongations were measured by digital image correlation (DIC) measurement on the surface of the samples. The tensile mechanical properties of the acrylic base were determined by tensile testing of round bar specimens. The linearity modulus of acrylic teeth was determined by cyclic pressure loading of the cylindrical sample with successive increase in pressure force. The modulus of linearity of the acryl base and acryl dental is determined by partial analysis of the obtained cyclic pressure stress-strain curve. Analysis shows that the stress-strain curves deviated and modulus depended on stress level in the tested specimens.

Boundaries and Margins
Authors: Chrysocheri Eirini
Published: October 2019

This article focuses on the Greek community of Alexandria, a socially and territorially bounded Diaspora entity that articulates a sense of connection to place through claims of a historically continuous socio-spatial connection to both Egypt and Greece. Through analyses of visual material collected and produced during fieldwork, I explore the spatial and social boundaries of the community before and after Nasser’s 1952 revolution and highlight discontinuities in the narratives and imaginings of the city articulated by different generations. Studying the creation of new borders, I reveal how restriction to, and isolation within, the ‘golden cage’ of Greek areas is both willingly embraced and a source of frustration. I conclude by outlining how spatial and ideological boundaries overlap and how they are shifted and defended by Greek and non-Greek inhabitants of the city.
To Be Black and Beautiful in Israel
Authors: Yerday Efrat
Published: October 2019

This article reviews works of contemporary female artists of Ethiopian origin active in the Israeli art field. I analyse the subjects in their work and argue these artists are presenting their attitudes towards the ‘white gaze’. Though constantly subjected to it by the Israeli hegemony and the Western masculine discourse, they are notably decreasing their consideration of it. They broaden the restricted field of action that seems designated for them and alter its boundaries. Drawing on theorists of gender, postcolonial theory and theory of art, I demonstrate how these artists are promoting an agenda that reflects their lives as black women in Israel. Influenced by recent socio-political changes and a decline in representations of black women on TV and in visual arts, these artworks were increasingly exhibited in solo and group exhibitions.
Anthropological Perspectives on Two Documentary Films on Women in the Middle East
Authors: Hertzog Esther
Published: October 2019

In this essay, I refer to two documentaries demonstrating some common features of male violence against women in the Jewish and Palestinian societies in Israel. Abeer Zaibak Haddad’s film about ‘honor killing’ illustrates the profound threat on girls’ and women’s physical safety. Yael Katzir’s film is about Jewish women’s struggle for religious rights. It is argued that being subjugated to patriarchal control, both Arab and Jewish women are denied fundamental rights. This understanding implies that, despite basic differences in socio-economic conditions and civil rights, women’s oppression is present in cultures that are perceived as ‘modern’ and ‘advanced’ just like in those that are perceived as the opposite. Both films point to the failure of the state to ensure women’s rights and safety and to women’s compliance to men’s oppression.
Disseminated intravascular coagulation in spine surgery: illustrative case review and the paradigms of management
Authors: Kashyap Samir , Podkovik Stacey , Tashjian Vartan
Published: October 2019

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is rarely encountered by spine surgeons outside of deformity or severe trauma cases. The authors report an extraordinarily unique case of refractory DIC after elective resection of multiple en plaque thoracic meningiomas in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1. A 49-year-old man underwent T1–3 laminoplasty and expansile duraplasty for resection of multiple en plaque meningiomas for thoracic myelopathy. Intraoperatively, the patient was found to be in a state of DIC that did not resolve postoperatively despite massive transfusions of blood products. He required subsequent returns to the operating room due to recurrent epidural hematomas with resulting paraplegia. Ultimately, the wound was left open, and a wound vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) was placed to prevent further returns to the operating room. DIC persisted until the administration of recombinant factor VIIa. In this report, the authors review the mechanisms, subtypes, and approaches to treatment of DIC with a focus on the bleeding subtype. If this subtype is refractory to blood product administration (> 24 hours), recombinant factor VIIa is a safe and effective option. A wound VAC can be safely utilized with exposed dura if deemed necessary by the surgeon; however, the volume and characteristics of the output should be closely monitored. The use of unconventional surgical solutions may provide options to mitigate the morbidity associated with refractory DIC in spine surgery.
An ω-REA set forming a minimal pair with 0~′
Authors: Gerdes Peter
Published: October 2019

It is easy to see that no n-REA set can form a (non-trivial) minimal pair with [Formula: see text] and only slightly more difficult to observe that no ω-REA set can form a (non-trivial) minimal pair with [Formula: see text]. Shore has asked whether this can be improved to show that no ω-REA set forms a (non-trivial) minimal pair with [Formula: see text]. We show that no such improvement is possible by constructing an ω-REA set C with [Formula: see text] forming a minimal pair with [Formula: see text]. We then show that no α-REA set (for any notation α) can form a (non-trivial) minimal pair with [Formula: see text].
String of PURLs – frugal migration and maintenance of persistent identifiers
Authors: Overton James A. , Cuffaro Michael ,   The OBO Foundry Operations Committee Technical Working Groupc, Mungall Christopher J.
Published: October 2019

FAIR data requires unique and persistent identifiers. Persistent Uniform Resource Locators (PURLs) are one common solution, introducing a mapping layer from the permanent identifier to a target URL that can change over time. Maintaining a PURL system requires long-term commitment and resources, and this can present a challenge for open projects that rely heavily on volunteers and donated resources. When the PURL system used by the Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) community suffered major technical problems in 2015, OBO developers had to migrate quickly to a new system. We describe that migration, the new OBO PURL system that we built, and the key factors behind our design. The OBO PURL system is low-cost and low-maintenance, built on well-established open source software, customized to the needs of the OBO community, and shows how key FAIR principles can be supported on a tight budget.
A Query Language Based on Term Matching and Rewriting
Authors: Zieliński Bartosz
Published: October 2019

Recent years have seen the emergence of a data-centric approach to business process modelling as an attractive alternative to the dominant task-centric one. This new paradigm requires new tools for effective specification, simulation and validation of data-centric models. In particular, such tools must include support for expressive query and database update languages. Rewriting logic was proposed (and successfully used) as a generic framework for the specification of dynamic systems. However, though relational and other data models can be easily simulated, rewriting systems lack the direct support for first-order queries.

In this paper we describe a novel condition and query language (at least as expressive as relational algebra), implemented in the term rewriting language Maude, together with a simple framework for relational transition system specification and simulation. The language is designed to be easy to implement on the top of a conditional rewriting system. Its most interesting feature is that it avoids all problems with variable binding. It works with models founded both on sets and multisets, and the language has linear-like facilities to refer to multiplicities of facts (in the case of multiset-founded models). As an example of the use of our language and simulation framework we reproduce some specifications of business processes from the literature. We also compare several methods for choosing the next action and its input during simulation.
The Effects of Computer-Based Cognitive Rehabilitation on Working Memory in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease: A Systematic Review
Authors: Svaerke Katrine , Niemeijer Miriam , Løkkegaard Annemette
Published: October 2019

Background:

Deterioration of working memory(WM) is a common cognitive deficit in Parkinson’s disease (PD), and severely influences the ability to lead an independent life. Interventions which can delay the impact of WM deficits could positively impact the independence and quality of life of patients.

Objective:

To evaluate effects of computer-based cognitive rehabilitation (CBCR) on WM in patients with PD.

Methods:

Pubmed, Embase, Psycinfo and Cochrane Library were systematically searched. Authors of included studies were contacted to detect unpublished data or articles not found by database-search. Broad selection criteria were applied because literature was expected to be limited. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they investigated the effects of CBCR on WM in a sample consisting of at least 50% PD patients, or in which the results of PD patients could be isolated. Studies were further eligible for inclusion in a planned meta-analysis if the effects of the CBCR intervention could be isolated, the CBCR intervention was compared to active or passive control groups consisting solely of PD patients, and the WM outcome measure could be isolated.

Results:

Only six studies were included despite broad inclusion criteria. Study results were heterogeneous, and the risk of bias in study methodology was either unclear or high. Two studies were eligible for meta-analysis. A meta-analysis was not performed, because these studies used different measures of WM which were not rated as equally valid and reliable.

Conclusion:

Existing literature is sparse and provides insufficient evidence to conclude if CBCR benefits WM in PD patients.

The custom hiring of the Versatile Multi-crop Planter (VMP) is a profitable enterprise for Local Service Providers (LSP) that could improve their household livelihood but the impacts have not yet been assessed in Bangladesh. In this study, we assessed the use pattern and profitability of custom-hiring the VMP, and its impacts on LSPs’ livelihood. A total of 18 LSP were purposively selected from Rajshahi, Thakurgaon, Mymensingh, and Rajbari districts for this study. The study revealed that LSPs effectively utilized VMP and 2-wheel tractor (2WT) for 4-6 months. They earned Tk. 1,42,434 (with incentive on VMP) and Tk. 1,36,134 (without incentive) per year as net income. The average payback periods were 0.72 and 0.98 years with and without incentive, respectively. The annual break-even of a VMP use was 7.79 ha. The LSPs reported a considerable cash (annual income increased by 34.9 %), and capital enhancement, e.g., land holdings (8.3 %), value of livestock (11.2 %), dwelling houses (36.6 %), household furniture (19 %), and modern amenities (45.5 %). The increased incomes from VMP custom hiring were mostly spent on nutritious food, land mortgage-in, and dwellings. The LSPs reported minor challenges such as being unable to use this machine in the wetland condition (61 %), no seating arrangement on the machine during operation in small plots (56 %), long time taken to complete sowing due to narrow planting width per pass (50 %), farmers’ skepticism about the planting machine as it is still new technology (44 %), and lack of skilled drivers (17 %). Financial support and technical assistance should be made available by the government for LSPs and local manufacturers to accelerate greater adoption of the VMP.

Salah satu hal penting yang harus dilakukan adalah guru mengetahui kemampuan penalaran matematis siswa. Kemampuan penalaran merupakan salah satu dari kompetensi yang harus dimiliki siswa. Guru memiliki peran penting untuk mendapatkan informasi tentang penalaran siswa. Hal ini karena penalaran bagi siswa dalam pembelajaran matematika sangat dibutuhkan untuk dapat memecahkan suatu masalah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan kemampuan penalaran matematis siswa pada materi bangun ruang. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas VIII E SMPN 13 Mataram. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara pemberian tes kemampuan penalaran matematis siswa, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 1 orang atau sebesar 3,57% dari sampel penelitian memiliki kemampuan penalaran sangat baik, sebanyak 6 orang atau sebesar 21,428% dari sampel penelitian memiliki kemampuan penalaran baik, sebanyak 5 orang atau sebesar 17,859% dari sampel penelitian memiliki kemampuan penalaran cukup, sebanyak 12 orang atau sebesar 42,859% dari sampel penelitian memiliki kemampuan penalaran kurang baik, sebanyak 4 orang atau sebesar14,285% dari sampel penelitian memiliki kemampuan penalaran sangat kurang baik. Setelah dilakukan wawancara kepada 5 siswa yang dipilih sesuai dengan nilai yang telah dicapai dan tergolong dalam kategori kemampuan penalaran sangat baik, baik, cukup, kurang baik, dan sangat kurang baik. Terlihat bahwa siswa mampu menyebutkan apa yang diketahui dan ditanyakan dari soal, tetapi pada saat tes tulis siswa tidak bisa menuliskan apa yang diketahui dan apa yang ditanyakan dari soal. Dengan demikian dapat ditarik simpulan bahwa sebagian besar siswa masih kurang mampu menuliskan apa yang diketahui dan apa yang ditanyakan dari soal sebelum menjawab soal.

Based on the experience of the researchers taught the subject of Economic Mathematics many students who have not been able to solve the problem solving. One alternative that can be used to solve the problem is by using Polya steps. When solving a mathematical problem, each student has a different way of thinking. The difference is possible because of differences in student cognitive style. The cognitive styles used in this research are Field Independent cognitive style and Field Dependent cognitive style. The material chosen in this research is the demand function, the Bid Function, the Savings Function and the Taxation Function. This research is a descriptive research with qualitative approach which aims to describe the problem solving ability of student mathematics using Polya steps in terms of cognitive style of FI and FD. Subjects in this research are students of VI semester of Mathematics Education Program. Technique of taking research subject is by purposive sample. The results showed that FI subject understood the problem well. In the planning step, the FI subject can analyze the information received. Subjects use previously learned information and solve problem-solving given to the problem as planned and check back on each question. The subject of FD can not receive information and understand the problems that exist in the problem and can not process information/do not understand the purpose of the problem. In the planning step, the subject of FD is unable to think how to solve the problem and is not accustomed to rechecking
