Partitivity in Slavic-Romance language contact: The case of Molise Slavic in Italy
Authors: Breu Walter 
Published: May 2020

AbstractMolise Slavic is a south Slavic micro-language, spoken in three municipalities in the Italian region of Molise. It has been in a situation of total language contact with Romance varieties for about 500 years, with strong foreign influence on all linguistic levels. This paper is intended as a contribution to two combined fields of linguistics: contact linguistics and the expression of partitivity in Slavic in different settings. The paper opens with a short description of the position of the (morphological)partitivecase in Russian, followed by a comparison of the role of case in expressing partitive objects in Russian, Croatian and Molise Slavic. The subsequent section will deal with other means of rendering pure and ablativic partitivity in Italian as the dominant model language and in the Molise Slavic replica, in particular with respect to the similarities and differences in existential constructions. Special attention will be paid to the Italian partitive particleneand its formal and functional equivalents in Molise Slavic, including the particlena/ne, partitive personal pronouns, quantifiers, the genitive and the role of intonation and word order. Finally we will test various hypotheses about the origin of the particlena/ne, whose formal variation in one of the Molise Slavic dialects causes serious problems for both loanword integration and semantic calquing.
Marginal Argument Structure constructions: the [VtheNtaboo-wordout of]-construction in Post-colonial Englishes
Authors: Hoffmann Thomas 
Published: May 2020

AbstractArgument Structure constructions – abstract, schematic constructions that are considered to encode basic human event construals – have received considerable attention in the constructionist literature. At the same time, languages sometimes also possess what can be considered Marginal Argument constructions that are partly lexically filled and considerably more specialized in meaning, such as the VtheNtaboo-wordout of-construction. The present study focusses on the latter construction drawing on the Corpus of Web-based Global English (GloWbE). In particular, it provides empirical evidence that the productivity of the verb slot can be shown to correlate positively with the phase of a variety in the Dynamic Model.
DholeCuon alpinusin Satchari National Park: on the first verifiable evidence from northeast Bangladesh
Authors: Zakir Tania , Debbarma Harish , Akash Muntasir 
Published: May 2020

AbstractThe distribution range of the globally Endangered dholeCuon alpinusoverlaps mixed evergreen mid-hill forests of northeastern Bangladesh but lacks any authentic documentation. With the first evidence from this region, we observed the activity pattern of dhole, of its prey and of human activities in Satchari National Park, a part of a larger northeastern forested area, Raghunandan Hill Reserve Forest – the northernmost fringe of the Baramura Hills of India. We obtained 32 photos of solitary individuals on eight different events from six out of 587 camera trap days. Naïve occupancy estimate for dhole was 0.41 with a detection probability of 0.65. We identified two individuals, and reported five predation events. We encountered a moderately high temporal overlap of dhole activity with that of barking deer (∆̂1= 0.65, CI = 0.42–0.83), human activity (0.63, 0.38–0.89), and livestock movement (0.59, 0.38–0.89). Given that dhole is a diurnal hyper-carnivore, illegal logging and tourism pressure appeared as major disturbances to the species' existence in the park. Habitats of northeastern protected forests, their adjacency with hill ranges of Tripura, and dhole being a habitat generalist, we conjecture its presence in the entire region and recommend thorough camera-trapping efforts.

Abstract
Post-mortem genetic analyses may help to elucidate the cause of cardiac death. The added value is however unclear when a cardiac disease is already suspected or affirmed. Our aim was to study the feasibility and medical impact of post-mortem genetic analyses in suspected cardiomyopathy. We studied 35 patients with cardiac death and suspected cardiomyopathy based on autopsy or clinical data. After targeted sequencing, we identified 15 causal variants in 15 patients (yield 43%) in sarcomeric (n = 8), desmosomal (n = 3), lamin A/C (n = 3) and transthyretin (n = 1) genes. The results had various impacts on families, i.e. allowed predictive genetic testing in relatives (15 families), planned early therapeutics based on the specific underlying gene (5 families), rectified the suspected cardiomyopathy subtype (2 families), assessed the genetic origin of cardiomyopathy that usually has an acquired cause (1 family), assessed the diagnosis in a patient with uncertain borderline cardiomyopathy (1 family), reassured the siblings because of a de novo mutation (2 families) and allowed prenatal testing (1 family). Our findings suggest that post-mortem molecular testing should be included in the strategy of family care after cardiac death and suspected cardiomyopathy, since genetic findings provide additional information useful for relatives, which are beyond conventional autopsy.

Published: May 2020

Abstract
Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) plays a critical role in the progression and development of gastrointestinal cancers. However, the association between SIRT6 expression and clinicopathological parameters and prognosis in gastrointestinal cancer patients remains inconclusive. Consequently, we conducted this meta-analysis to evaluate the importance of SIRT6 expression in various types of gastrointestinal cancers. PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched to screen the relevant literature. The reported or estimated hazard ratio (HR) and odds ratio (OR) and their corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were pooled to assess the strength of the association. Nine studies involving 867 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Overall analysis showed that high SIRT6 expression was related to better overall survival in gastrointestinal cancers (HR = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.47–0.82). High SIRT6 expression was also related to a favorable tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage (OR = 0.44, 95% CI = 0.28–0.70) among gastrointestinal cancer patients. Our meta-analysis revealed that high SIRT6 expression might be a potential biomarker predicting better prognosis in gastrointestinal cancers, which may offer options for gastrointestinal cancer treatment.
Rezeption der Theorien von Heinz Guderian in polnischen militärwissenschaftlichen Zeitschriften vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg
Authors: Fudalej Krzysztof 
Published: May 2020

Zusammenfassung
Heinz Guderian war zweifellos einer der wichtigsten deutschen Militärtheoretiker der Zwischenkriegszeit und später ein hervorragender Kommandant großer Panzerverbände. Er ist vor allem als Schöpfer der Panzertruppe als selbstständiger Truppengattung in die Geschichte eingegangen. Seine Theorien und Leistungen sind, zumindest in ihren Grundzügen, viel besser bekannt als die der anderen »Panzertheoretiker«. An seinem Beispiel wird gezeigt, wie gut deutsche, ständig wechselnde Ideen der Nutzung von Panzertruppen in polnischen militärwissenschaftlichen Zeitschriften vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg rezipiert wurden.

ZusammenfassungDurch die Behandlung in sozialtherapeutischen Einrichtungen des Strafvollzuges kann die Wiederverurteilungsrate von Straftätern wirksam reduziert werden, jedoch werden nicht alle Straftäter, die sich hier bewerben, aufgenommen. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie ist die Untersuchung Betroffener hinsichtlich rückfallrelevanter Risikobereiche, allgemeinem Rückfallrisiko und Strafrestzeit. Zu diesem Zweck wurden von der Sozialtherapeutischen Anstalt Tegel abgelehnte (n= 26) und angenommene (n= 47) Bewerber miteinander verglichen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass abgelehnte Gefangene psychisch gesünder und beruflich besser situiert waren, aber auch vermehrt antisoziale und delinquenzfördernde Einstellungen aufwiesen, wodurch eine Ablehnung signifikant vorhergesagt werden konnte. Darüber hinaus konnten keine Unterschiede zwischen Abgelehnten und Angenommenen festgestellt werden, allerdings zeigte sich, dass fehlende Wohngruppenfähigkeit, Drogenkonsum und unpassende Strafrestzeit offiziell am häufigsten als Ablehnungsgründe genannt wurden. Die Indikationskriterien sozialtherapeutischer Einrichtungen werden diskutiert und die Entwicklung alternativer Behandlungsangebote für abgelehnte Straftäter empfohlen.
“Danger of a single story”: Pre-service teachers’ of color use of an online discussion board to discuss the essentialization of culture
Authors: Braunstein Lauren B. , Ozdemir Ozgur , Garcia Chad 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
The current demographic gap that exists between a predominantly white and female teacher force and an increasing diverse K-12 student population has prompted a focus on the recruitment and retainment of teachers of color. These recruitment and retainment efforts at times come at “the expense of preparation” (Gist, 2014, p. 266). Further, education scholars have critiqued teacher education due to the exclusion of the voices and experiences of pre-service teachers of color (Sleeter & Thao, 2007; Takimoto Amos, 2016). With the goal of improving the preparation of pre-service teachers of color, this article offers a concrete pedagogical strategy to build on the cultural and linguistic resources of pre-service teachers of color. In addition, the authors discuss how pre-service teachers of color enrolled in Diversity in Education course responded to the TED Talk Danger of a Single Story (Adiche, 2009). In response to the prompt “What do you wish people really knew about your identity”, three themes were illuminated: 1 – Resisting Essentializing, and Racializing Discourses, 2 – Hybrid Identities, 3 – Solidarity, and Community Building. The authors discuss how constructivist learning and culturally responsive pedagogies should be utilized to build equitable teacher education programs for all pre-service teachers. Additionally, best practices, recommendations, and strategies are included for the use of the online discussion boards as productive sites for critical thought.

Estimating the distribution of a stochastic sum of IID random variables
Authors: Witkovský Viktor , Wimmer Gejza , Duby Tomas 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Suggested is a non-parametric method and algorithm for estimating the probability distribution of a stochastic sum of independent identically distributed continuous random variables, based on combining and numerically inverting the associated empirical characteristic function (CF) derived from the observed data. This is motivated by classical problems in financial risk management, actuarial science, and hydrological modelling. This approach can be naturally generalized to more complex semi-parametric modelling and estimating approaches, e.g., by incorporating the generalized Pareto distribution fit for modelling heavy tails of the considered continuous random variables, or by considering the weighted mixture of the parametric CFs (used to incorporate the expert knowledge) and the empirical CFs (used to incorporate the knowledge based on the observed or historical data). The suggested numerical approach is based on combination of the Gil-Pelaez inversion formulae for deriving the probability distribution (PDF and CDF) from the associated CF and the trapezoidal quadrature rule used for the required numerical integration. The presented non-parametric estimation method is related to the bootstrap estimation approach, and thus, it shares similar properties. Applicability of the proposed estimation procedure is illustrated by estimating the aggregate loss distribution from the well-known Danish fire losses data.
Temperature-dependent dark-field scattering of single plasmonic nanocavity

Published: May 2020

Abstract
Plasmonic materials have long been exploited for enhanced spectroscopy, integrated nanophotonic circuits, sensing, light harvesting, etc. Damping is the key factor that limits their performance and restricts the development of the field. Optical characterization of single nanoparticle at low temperature is ideal for investigating the damping of plasmons but is usually technically impractical due to the sample vibration from the cryostat and the surface adsorption during the cooling process. In this work, we use a vibration-free cryostat to investigate the temperature-dependent dark-field scattering spectroscopy of a single Au nanowire on top of a Au film. This allows us to extract the contribution of electron-phonon scattering to the damping of plasmons without performing statistics over different target nanoparticles. The results show that the full width at half-maximum of the plasmon resonance increases by an amount of 5.8%, over the temperature range of 5−150 K. Electromagnetic calculations reveal that the temperature-insensitive dissipation channels into photons or surface plasmon polaritons on the Au film contribute up to 64% of the total dissipations at the plasmon resonance. This explains why the reduction of plasmon linewidth seems small at the single-particle level. This study provides a more explicit measurement on the damping process of the single plasmonic nanostructure, which serves as basic knowledge in the applications of nanoplasmonic materials.

Exploring brain diversity in crustaceans: sensory systems of deep vent shrimps
Authors: Machon Julia , Krieger Jakob , Zbinden Magali , Ravaux Juliette , Harzsch Steffen 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
The current report focuses on shrimps from deep hydrothermal vents of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that live in an environment characterized by high hydrostatic pressure, lack of sunlight, and with hot and potentially toxic emissions of black smoker vents. Malacostracan crustaceans display a large diversity of lifestyles and life histories and a rich repertoire of complex behavioral patterns including sophisticated social interactions. These aspects promote this taxon as an interesting group of organisms for those neurobiologists interested in evolutionary transformation of brain structures and evolutionary diversification of neuronal circuits. Here, we explore how analyzing the nervous system of crustacean species from extreme habitats can provide deeper insights into the functional adaptations that drive the diversification of crustacean brain structure.
A generalized perspective of Fourier and Fick’s laws: Magnetized effects of Cattaneo-Christov models on transient nanofluid flow between two parallel plates with Brownian motion and thermophoresis
Authors: Shankar Usha , Naduvinamani Neminath B. , Basha Hussain 
Published: May 2020

AbstractPresent research article reports the magnetized impacts of Cattaneo-Christov double diffusion models on heat and mass transfer behaviour of viscous incompressible, time-dependent, two-dimensional Casson nanofluid flow through the channel with Joule heating and viscous dissipation effects numerically. The classical transport models such as Fourier and Fick’s laws of heat and mass diffusions are generalized in terms of Cattaneo-Christov double diffusion models by accounting the thermal and concentration relaxation times. The present physical problem is examined in the presence of Lorentz forces to investigate the effects of magnetic field on double diffusion process along with Joule heating. The non-Newtonian Casson nanofluid flow between two parallel plates gives the system of time-dependent, highly nonlinear, coupled partial differential equations and is solved by utilizing RK-SM and bvp4c schemes. Present results show that, the temperature and concentration distributions are fewer in case of Cattaneo-Christov heat and mass flux models when compared to the Fourier’s and Fick’s laws of heat and mass diffusions. The concentration field is a diminishing function of thermophoresis parameter and it is an increasing function of Brownian motion parameter. Finally, an excellent comparison between the present solutions and previously published results show the accuracy of the results and methods used to achieve the objective of the present work.
Qualitative analysis for two fractional difference equations
Authors: Almatrafi Mohammed B. , Alzubaidi Marwa M. 
Published: May 2020

AbstractSome difference equations are generally studied by investigating their long behaviours rather than their exact solutions. The proposed equations cannot be solved analytically. Hence, this article discusses the main qualitative behaviours of two rational difference equations. Some appropriate hypotheses are examined and given to show the local and global attractivity. Special cases from the considered equations are solved analytically. The periodicity is also proved in this work. We also illustrate the achieved results in some 2D figures.
Effect of Christmas Island rock phosphate and rice straw compost application on soil phosphorus availability and maize (Zea maysL.) growth in a tropical acid soil of Kelantan, Malaysia
Authors: Ch’ng Huck Ywih , Sanusi Syajariah , Bin Othman Suhaimi 
Published: May 2020

AbstractPhosphorus (P) fixation is very common in Malaysian acid soils due to the fixation of soluble inorganic P by Al and Fe under acidic soil pH conditions. Farmers tend to perform lots of liming and apply excess amount of P fertilizers in order to saturate the Al and Fe in the soil so that the plants are able to absorb the remaining P. Excessive liming and application of P fertilizers are not only not economical but also not environmentally friendly. Compost with a large surface area and pool of negative charges could be used to reduce P fixation in acidic soil. Hence, this study was carried out to assess the effect of amending Christmas Island rock phosphate (CIRP) with rice straw (RS) compost in improving soil P availability, nutrient uptake, and dry matter production of maize cultivated on a Malaysian tropical acid soil. A pot experiment was carried out in this study with the use of maize (FI hybrid sweet corn 801) as a test crop. The chemical properties of soils applied with RS compost were significantly improved (P≤ 0.05) compared to treatments without RS compost. As the soil pH increased, there was significant reduction in exchangeable acidity, Al and Fe in soil due to exchangeable Al and Fe were fixed with negatively charged functional groups of RS compost’s surfaces, thus increased the P availability and exchangeable cations in the soil applied with RS compost. There was also significantly higher N, P, and K uptake in leaf, stem, and root of maize in the treatments applied with RS compost. Application of CIRP with RS compost was found to increase the soil P availability, maize nutrient uptake, and dry matter production at the end of the pot experiment. An application rate of 15–20 t ha−1of RS compost together with 130 kg ha−1urea, 200 kg ha−1CIRP, and 67 kg ha−1muriate of potash is recommended to improve the soil NPK contents and growth ofZea maysin acidic soil.
Saving Content in Digital Surroundings: A Safe Solution?
Authors: Maget Dominicé Antoinette , Haux Dario Henri , Graf Fabienne Sarah 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Cultural institutions save most of their digital-born and digitalized content within the digital sphere. In doing so, they rely on cloud computing and servers, barely taking into consideration that this infrastructure may fail one day. Furthermore, the institutions seem to factor out that these attempts may be related to profound changes in the digital objects.
Our paper aims to explore this situation by focusing on sustainability within the digital realm. In the deliberate process of saving born-digital content, should we run the risk of inadvertently losing the content’s individual character itself? Should we embrace the possibility that dynamic content might be transformed into purely static data – ceasing to be relevant for users?
How can we find a solution, set between archiving and the continuous promotion of digital culture? Might it be, that born-digital cultural heritage is not made for storage? Has the eager preservation of cultural heritage become a historical oddity that will not last the test of time, due to its nature?
Use of diisocyanate to enhance the flame-retardant, mechanical and crystalline properties of poly (butylene succinate-co-butylene 3-hydroxyphenylphosphinyl-propionate) (PBSH)

Published: May 2020

Abstract
Poly (butylene succinate-co-butylene-3-hydroxyphenylphosphinyl-propionate) (PBSH) was synthesized through polycondensation. Then, 4,4′-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) was introduced into PBSH matrix by reactive blending. The chemical structure and properties of the blending products were investigated using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), limiting oxygen index (LOI) tests, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and vertical burning tests. The results proved that MDI can improve the mechanical properties and flame retardancy of PBSH. In addition, it was found that the crosslinking structure can reduce the hydrolysis rate of PBSH and effectively eliminate the melt-dripping of PBSH during combustion.
