Published: July 2020

Abstract
Background Against the background of a steadily increasing degree of digitalization in health care, a professional information management (IM) is required to successfully plan, implement, and evaluate information technology (IT). At its core, IM has to ensure a high quality of health data and health information systems to support patient care.
Objectives The goal of the present study was to define what constitutes professional IM as a construct as well as to propose a reliable and valid measurement instrument.
Methods To develop and validate the construct of professionalism of information management (PIM) and its measurement, a stepwise approach followed an established procedure from information systems and behavioral research. The procedure included an analysis of the pertaining literature and expert rounds on the construct and the instrument, two consecutive and comprehensive surveys at the national and international level, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses as well as reliability and validity testing.
Results Professionalism of information management was developed as a construct consisting of the three dimensions of strategic, tactical, and operational IM as well as of the regularity and cyclical phases of IM procedures as the two elements of professionalism. The PIM instrument operationalized the construct providing items that incorporated IM procedures along the three dimensions and cyclical phases. These procedures had to be evaluated against their degree of regularity in the instrument. The instrument proved to be reliable and valid in two consecutive measurement phases and across three countries.
Conclusion It can be concluded that professionalism of information management is a meaningful construct that can be operationalized in a scientifically rigorous manner. Both science and practice can benefit from these developments in terms of improved self-assessment, benchmarking capabilities, and eventually, obtaining a better understanding of health IT maturity.

Published: July 2020

Objective This study aimed to determine whether receiving a proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) prescription during pregnancy was associated with decreased risk for preeclampsia.
Study Design The Truven Health MarketScan database was used to determine whether receiving a PPI prescription was associated with risk for preeclampsia. Risk for preeclampsia was evaluated based on the presence or absence of receiving a PPI prescription (1) any time during pregnancy, and 2) individually during the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd trimesters. In addition to evaluating risk for all preeclampsia, severe preeclampsia and preterm severe preeclampsia were evaluated. Adjusted models including risk factors such as chronic hypertension, maternal age, multiple gestation, and diabetes were performed with adjusted risk ratios (aRR) with 95% confidence intervals [CIs] as measures of effect.
Results A total of 2,755,885 women were included in the analysis of whom 69,249 were prescribed a PPI during pregnancy (2.5%). In adjusted models, receiving a PPI prescription anytime during pregnancy (aRR 1.28, 95% CI 1.24–1.32), the 1st trimester (aRR 1.12, 95% CI 1.04–1.22), the 2nd trimester (aRR 1.20, 95% CI 1.15–1.26), and the 3rd trimester (aRR 1.41, 95% CI 1.35–1.47) were all associated with increased risk for preeclampsia. Risk for severe preeclampsia was also significantly increased with receiving a PPI prescription anytime during pregnancy (aRR 1.21, 95% CI 1.15–1.27), during the 2nd trimester (aRR 1.14, 95% CI 1.06–1.23), and during the 3rd trimester (aRR 1.33, 95% CI 1.24–1.43), but not the first trimester (aRR 1.04, 95% CI 0.92–1.19). Evaluating the risk for preterm severe preeclampsia, adjusted risk was significantly increased with receiving a PPI prescription in the second trimester (aRR 1.35, 95% CI 1.21–1.52) but not the first trimester (aRR 1.06, 95% CI 0.86–1.32).
Conclusion In this analysis of payer data, receiving a PPI prescription during pregnancy was not associated with decreased risk for preeclampsia. Further empiric research is required to determine whether an effect may be present.

Abstract
We have demonstrated an experimental setup for the coherent phasing of a seven-channel fibre laser system ( λ = 1064 nm) in a scheme comprising a master oscillator and a set of parallel amplifiers with lithium niobate-based fibre-optic phase modulators. Using a stochastic parallel gradient algorithm, an instrumental phase modulator control unit ensures a bandwidth of the system up to 450 kHz. The effectiveness of phasing of light transmitted through a turbulent medium with a characteristic time scale τ
turb has been studied experimentally as a function of phasing time τ
ph. The results demonstrate that the average Strehl ratio begins to rise at τ
turb/τ
ph ⩾ 2 and that the effectiveness of compensation for dynamic phase distortions in the beam propagation path rises sharply at τ
turb/τ
ph ≈ 20. For τ
turb/τ
ph ⩾ 30 – 40, the average Strehl ratio remains constant at the level reached.
Base rate neglect and neural computations for subjective weight in decision under uncertainty
Authors: Yang Yun-Yen , Wu Shih-Wei 
Published: July 2020

Significance
Estimating probability of potential outcomes is essential to many decisions we make under uncertainty. Yet humans often exhibit systematic biases in probability estimation. We investigated the neural mechanisms for base rate neglect, an important bias that describes people’s tendency to underweight base rate relative to individuating information. We found that activity in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and putamen carry information about the degree to which human participants underweight base rate through representing relative subjective weight assigned to base rate (OFC, mPFC, and putamen) and sensitivity to the variability of prior and individuating information (putamen). Our findings suggest that when combining multiple sources of information, relative sensitivity to information variability and information-weighting computations contribute to judgment bias.
Evaporating droplets on oil-wetted surfaces: Suppression of the coffee-stain effect
Authors: Li Yaxing , Diddens Christian , Segers Tim , Wijshoff Herman , Versluis Michel , Lohse Detlef 
Published: July 2020

Significance
Evaporating suspension droplets in general leave ring-like stains. For many applications requiring homogeneous deposition, the stains imply a major problem. This in particular holds for inkjet printing, surface patterning, self-assembly, and 3D printing technologies. Here we offer a robust method to suppress the coffee-stain effect by letting particle-laden droplets evaporate on oil-wetted surfaces. Through tuning the surface energy of the droplets by adding surfactants, we can manipulate the contact line behavior, the flow structure, and the wetting state of the thin film surrounding the droplet and accomplish a controlled particle deposition. Our findings may open perspectives for uniform coatings in the abovementioned applications, but are also relevant for other complex liquid droplet evaporation, e.g., for disease transmission or in agriculture.
Universality and variation in language
Authors: Sigurðsson Halldór Ármann 
Published: July 2020

AbstractThis article discusses language universality and language variation, and suggests that there is no feature variation in initial syntax, featural variation arising by metamorphosis under transfer from syntax to PF-morphology. In particular, it explores the Zero Hypothesis, stating that Universal Grammar, UG, only provides two building elements, Root Zero and Edge Feature Zero, zero, as they are purely structural/formal elements with no semantic content in UG. Their potential content is provided by the Concept Mine, a mind-internal but language-external department. UG and narrow syntax has access to the Concept Mine, and this Syntax-Concept Access is unique to humans, a prerequisite for the evolution of language (Section 1). A related idea (also inSection 1) is coined the Generalized Edge Feature Approach, GEFA. It states that Merge always involves at least one edge feature, which precludes symmetric structures and enables Simplest Merge (no Pair-Merge, no Hilbert epsilon operator). The article advocates that there is no syntactic feature selection (Section 2), all syntactic features being universally accessible in the Concept Mine, via Root Zero and Edge Feature Zero. In contrast, there is feature selection in PF (including morphology), yielding variation (Section 3), Gender being a clear example (Section 4). However, there is a widely neglected syntax-to-PF-morphology metamorphosis (Section 5), such that morphological features like [past] are distinct from albeit related to syntactic features like Speech Time. Parameters operate on selected PF features, and not on purely syntactic features, so parameter setting is plausibly closely tied to the syntax-to-PF-morphology metamorphosis (the concludingSection 6). It is suggested that parameters are on the externalization side of language, part of or related to the sensory-motor system, facilitating motoric learning in language acquisition.
An ecosystem view of English word-formation
Authors: Renner Vincent 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
This article takes a function-to-form approach to word-formation in present-day English and argues that the ecosystem metaphor can help morphologists see competition in word-formation and its resolution in a new light. The analysis first draws correspondences between four lexical functions (transcategorial, transconceptual, evaluative, and compacting) and ten formal operations (prefixation, suffixation, compounding, blending, morphostasis, stress shift, clipping, desuffixation, initialization, and replication) and concludes that there is no across-the-board interoperation competition to encode each function, but rather a fairly complementary distribution of the operations between the four functional subsystems. Each functional subsystem is then reviewed in turn and it is shown that, again, there is no full-scale competition at this level, but rather some fairly pronounced tendencies towards complementariness, and, in one case, also towards combination. The broad division of labor within each subsystem can, remarkably, be accounted for in different terms: the conditioning is primarily semantic (with formal subconsiderations) in the transcategorial and transconceptual subsystems while it is formal in the evaluative and compacting subsystems.
Constituent polysemy and interpretational diversity in attested English novel compounds
Authors: Schäfer Martin , Bell Melanie J. 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
We explore variation in the interpretation of attested novel compound nouns in English, especially the contribution of constituent polysemy to this diversity. Our results show that effects of polysemy are pervasive in compound interpretation, contributing both to interpretational diversity and to perceived difficulty of interpretation. The higher the uncertainty about the concept represented by the head noun, based on existing compounds with that head, the greater the diversity of interpretations across speakers and the more difficult, on average, they find it to come up with a meaning.
Absolutely PHAB
Authors: Pepper Steve , Arnaud Pierre J. L. 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
There have been many attempts at classifying the semantic modification relations (ℜ) of N + N compounds but this work has
not led to the acceptance of a definitive scheme, so that devising a reusable classification is a worthwhile aim. The scope of this
undertaking is extended to other binominal lexemes, i.e. units that contain two thing-morphemes without explicitly stating ℜ, like
prepositional units, N + relational adjective units, etc. The 25-relation taxonomy of Bourque
(2014) was tested against over 15,000 binominal lexemes from 106 languages and extended to a 29-relation scheme (“Bourque2”)
through the introduction of two new reversible relations. Bourque2 is then mapped onto Hatcher’s
(1960) four-relation scheme (extended by the addition of a fifth relation, similarity, as “Hatcher2”). This results in a
two-tier system usable at different degrees of granularities. On account of its semantic proximity to compounding, metonymy is then taken
into account, following Janda’s (2011) suggestion that it plays a role in word formation; Peirsman and Geeraerts’ (2006) inventory of 23 metonymic patterns is mapped onto Bourque2, confirming
the identity of metonymic and binominal modification relations. Finally, Blank’s (2003) and Koch’s (2001) work on lexical semantics justifies the addition to the scheme of a third,
superordinate level which comprises the three Aristotelean principles of similarity, contiguity and contrast.
Property inference from heads to opaque-transparent compounds
Authors: Spalding Thomas L. , Gagné Christina L. 
Published: July 2020

AbstractWe investigate how people extend properties from head nouns to compound words. Two conflicting principles seem to be important. Concepts license inference of properties: Knowing that birds fly allows an inference that songbirds fly. On the other hand, a subcategory term like songbirds is created only when that subcategory contrasts with the general category of birds. Participants rate the extent to which properties true of all, some, or no members of the head noun category are true of a subcategory denoted by an Opaque-Transparent compound. Both categorical inference and contrast affect these judgments: Properties true of the head are less true of the compound though still generally true, while those false of the head are more true of the compound, though still generally false. We discuss how modification effects with Opaque-Transparent compounds compare to both Transparent-Transparent compounds and novel combinations.
On the influence of creativity upon the interpretation of complex words
Authors: Körtvélyessy Lívia , Štekauer Pavol , Kačmár Pavol 
Published: July 2020

AbstractThe paper is aimed at the evaluation of whether, and if, to what degree, the psychological factor of creativity affects the interpretation of complex words. The research covered 324 students (17–18 years old) who attended (at the time of the experiment) various secondary schools in Košice, Slovakia. For the sake of evaluation, the respondents were divided into two cohorts (H-cohort and L-cohort) for each of the creativity variables, based on their high vs. low scores achieved in theTorrance Test of Creative Thinking(TTCT). These variables include Elaboration, Fluency, Flexibility and Originality and two subscores, the Creative Strengths and the Composite Score. The interpretation test includes potential compound words and converted words, i.e., potential words that admit numerous potential readings. The evaluation process is primarily based on Štekauer’s theory of meaning predictability (2005), and covers four variables: the predictability rate, the objectified predictability rate, hapax legomena, and the average number of readings per informant. The results suggest that while the H-cohort is more ‘creative’ in interpreting potential words the influence of the individual variables/subscores varies substantially.
Tourism development in Colombia: between conflict and peace.
Authors: Zapata-Aguirre Sandra , López-Zapata Ledys , Mejía-Alzate María Leivy 
Published: July 2020

Abstract

This chapter analyses tourism development in Colombia from the aspect of conflict and peace. The city of Medellín is taken as a case study to document how Colombia has been affected by its long internal conflict between the government and several guerrilla groups. The chapter also analyses the economic relevance of tourism and the public policies implemented before and after the signing of the peace process. In doing so, the chapter allows understanding of both the benefits and the challenges experienced by the regions so far affected by the conflict and their implications in tourism. It is concluded that in pacification processes tourism can be viewed as a resource to develop the post-peace discourse and should be considered a valid tool to bring peace to the territories.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Effect of miR-216a-3p on lung cancer hasn’t been investigated. Here, we explored its effects on lung cancer. MiR-216a-3p expression in lung cancer tissues and cells was detected by RT-qPCR. The target gene of miR-216a-3p was predicted by bioinformatics and confirmed by luciferase-reporter assay. After transfection, cell viability, migration, invasion, proliferation, and apoptosis were detected by MTT, scratch, transwell, colony formation, and flow cytometry. The expressions of COPB2 and apoptosis-related factors were detected by RT-qPCR or western blot. MiR-216a-3p was low-expressed and COPB2 was high-expressed in lung cancer tissues and cells. MiR-216a-3p targeted COPB2 and regulated its expression. MiR-216a-3p inhibited lung cancer cell viability, migration, invasion, and proliferation, while promoted apoptosis. Effect of miR-216a-3p on lung cancer was reversed by COPB2. MiR-216a-3p regulated proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of lung cancer cells via targeting COPB2.
Construction of top university identity in high-stakes genres of public communication – a systemic functional discourse analysis of three genres of PKU and THU presidential talk and letter to prospective students
Authors: Tian Jianqiu 
Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT
This article highlights the pivotal role of genre in text production and identity construction by an analysis of three high-stakes genres of public communication by presidents of the top universities in China, Peking University (PKU) and Tsinghua University (THU). A brief review of the Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) research on identity indicates that the current approach did not take into account the role of text structure as an important means of identity construction, which can be attributed to flaws in the SFL theorization of genre. In view of this, the Genre as a Nexus of meaning making (GaN) model is proposed, followed by a reinforced analytical framework of text analysis encompassing Halliday (and Matthiessen)’s functional grammar and Martin (and Rose)’s discourse semantics, which is subsequently deployed to study the texts of concern from an SFL vantage point. The results indicate that not only are different aspects of the university represented in the different genres, but the generic structure of the texts is indispensable in the university’s identity construction. Moreover, the comparison of the genres with those in other culture and of the results with previous research underscores culture’s powerful impact on genre and the universities at the forefront of globalization.

Abstract
A minimal extension of the Standard Model with the gauge grup SU(2)⊗U(1)⊗Z2 has been built. In this theory, there are three scalar fields, namely two doublet Φ and η and one singlet Φs. The scalar field mass of Φs is found to be greater than the mass of η and the scalar field mass of η is greater than the mass of Φ (mΦs > mη > mΦ).
