A lexicon of Albanian for natural language processing
Authors: Kabashi Besim 
Published: April 2020

AbstractFor many applications in the field of natural language processing, a lexicon is needed. For the Albanian language a lexicon that can be used for these purposes is presented below. The lexicon contains around 75,000 entries, including proper names such as personal, geographical and other names. Each entry includes grammatical information such as parts of speech and other specific information, e.g. inflection classes for nouns, adjectives and verbs. The lexicon is part of a morphological tool, but can also be used as an independent resource for other tasks and applications or can be adapted for them. Sources for the creation and the extension of the presented lexicon include both information from traditional dictionaries, e.g. spelling dictionaries, and a balanced linguistic corpus using corpus-driven methods and tools. The lexicon is still work in progress, but aims to cover basic information for most frequent tasks of natural language processing.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
After focusing on the randomness of the degradation process of the piston pump, the randomness lead to the proposal of a method based on the comprehensive evaluation index to select the characteristic parameters of different levels and characteristics. It was aimed to characterize the process of degradation. Initially the sensitive characteristics of the piston pump degradation were screened out, followed by the short-time test with a small sample for reliability assessment performed on the piston pump valve plate. The local characteristic-scale decomposition was employed to decompose the vibrational signal. Features characterizing the degradation of the valve plate were selected on the basis of the comprehensive evaluation index. Further application of the Principal Component Analysis algorithm was used to transform the degraded feature data to reduce dimension and extract the feature quantities. Then these feature quantities were substituted into the Weibull proportional reliability model. It aimed to calculate the reliability of the piston pump under different degradation states. The bizarre results showed that the combination of real-time effective features and reliability models not only fully reflect the operating state of the piston pump but also effectively evaluate the reliability of the piston pump.
Noradrenergic Responsiveness Supports Selective Attention across the Adult Lifespan

Published: April 2020

Selectively attending to relevant information while blocking out distractors is crucial for goal-directed behavior, yet with advancing age, deficits emerge in attentional selectivity. Decrements in attention have been associated with altered noradrenergic activity in animals. However, research linking noradrenergic functioning to attention in aging humans is scarce, likely reflecting long-standing methodological challenges in noninvasive assessments. We studied whether age-related differences in the noradrenergic system predict differences in attention. We measured pupil dilation, a noninvasive marker of arousal-related norepinephrine (NE) release, while concurrently recording the EEG of male younger (N= 39; 25.2 ± 3.2 years) and older adults (N= 38; 70.6 ± 2.7 years). Arousal was modulated on a trial-by-trial basis using fear-conditioned (CS+) stimuli. During conditioning, pupil and EEG markers related to heightened arousal were identified. Afterward, in a dichotic listening task, participants were cued to direct attention to either the left or right ear while highly similar syllable pairs were presented simultaneously to both ears. During the dichotic listening task, presentation of fear-conditioned stimuli reinstated the acquired arousal response, as reflected in pupil and EEG α-β band responses. Critically, pupil dilation to CS+was correlated with stronger EEG α-β desynchronization, suggesting a common dependence on NE release. On a behavioral level, stronger arousal reactions were associated with better attention. In particular, structural equation modeling revealed that the responsiveness of the NE system is associated with attention on a latent construct level, measured by several indicator tasks. Overall, our results suggest that the responsiveness of the NE system supports attention across the lifespan.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTIn old age, the ability to selectively process relevant aspects of the environment fades. Animal research suggests that the neuromodulator norepinephrine helps to maintain selective attention. We tested younger and older adults across a variety of attention tasks. In addition, we used arousing stimuli to experimentally activate participants' noradrenergic system while recording pupillometry and EEG to infer its functional capacity. Older adults showed compromised attention and reduced noradrenergic responsiveness as indicated by interrelated pupil and EEG markers. Crucially, in both age groups, a more responsive noradrenergic system was strongly associated with attention. Our findings link animal and human studies on the neural underpinning of attention in aging and underscore the importance of the noradrenergic system in late-life cognition.

Published: April 2020

Purpose
We aimed to investigate the association between SHBG and the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-Ir) in men and women in a prospective observational study.

Methods
The Vara-Skövde cohort is a random population of 2816 participants living in southwestern Sweden, aged 30–74. It was recruited between 2002 and 2005, and followed up in 2012–2014. After excluding participants on insulin therapy or hormone replacement therapy, 1193 individuals (649 men, 544 women) were included in the present study. Fasting blood samples were collected at both visits and stored in biobank. All participants were physically examined by a trained nurse. SHBG was measured with immunoassay technique. Linear regressions were computed to investigate the association between SHBG and HOMA-Ir both in cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, adjusting for confounding factors.

Results
The mean follow-up time was 9.7 ± 1.4 years. Concentrations of SHBG were significantly inversely associated with log transformed HOMA-Ir in all groups with estimated standardized slopes (95% CI): men: −0.20 (−0.3;−0.1), premenopausal women: −0.26 (−0.4;−0.2), postmenopausal women: −0.13 (−0.3;−0.0) at visit 1. At visit 2 the results were similar. When comparing the groups, a statistically significant difference was found between men and post-menopausal women (0.12 (0.0;0.2) P value = 0.04). In the fully adjusted model, SHBG at visit 1 was also associated with HOMA-Ir at visit 2, and the estimated slopes were −0.16 (−0.2;−0.1), −0.16 (−0.3;−0.1) and −0.07 (−0.2;0.0) for men, premenopausal and postmenopausal women, respectively.

Main conclusion
Levels of SHBG predicted the development of insulin resistance in both men and women, regardless of menopausal state.

Authors: Gabrėnaitė Eglė , Triaušytė Monika 
Published: April 2020

Modern media has led to changes in the scope, intensity and effectiveness of communication. The Internet medium, which offers almost unlimited dialogue and polylogue possibilities, has become an attractive place for provocation to be born and function. The provocative narrative not only inspires these processes, but also becomes as a result of such a genre modification. This article analyzes a provocative discourse, the Lithuanian version of the global movement MeToo, which promotes the publication of cases of sexual harassment: testimonies of women who have been sexually harassed, publications in the media discussing the issue, interviews with discourse participants, another type of comments. The MeToo discourse is characterized by a rhetorical aspect: the concept of provocation as an effective communication strategy is explored; the relationship of the provocative narrative to the genre category is discussed; characteristic rhetorical elements – invention, disposition, elocution – have been distinguished.
Oral Narrative Genres as Communicative Dialogic Resources and their Correlation to African Short Fiction
Authors: Huber Loreta , Jonaitytė Evelina 
Published: April 2020

Oral and written storytelling traditions in Africa developed at the same time and influenced each other in many ways. In the twentieth century, the relation between the deeply rooted oral tradition and literary traditions intensified.We aim to reveal literary analysis tools that help to trace ways how oral narrative genres found reflection in African short fiction under analysis. A case study is based on two short stories by women writers, The Rain Came by Grace Ogot and The Lovers by Bessie Head. Images and symbols both, in oral and written traditions in Africa, as well as the way they evolved and extended in a literary genre of short fiction are considered within the framework of hermeneutics, reader reception theory and feminist literary criticism.The results obtained in the study prove that oral narrative genres interact with literary genres, though most importantly, women’s writing as a literary category and images embodied in the short stories play a decisive role and deviation from the images embodied in African oral tradition.

Published: April 2020

Polyphenols are plant secondary metabolites. They are important active principles from medicinal plants and food supplement that contain medicinal plants. Experimental data indicate that polyphenols exhibit biological functions, as protection against oxidative stress and degenerative diseases. For identification of polyphenolic compounds in plants high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) is one of the simple and accurate method, which provide important information regarding chemical composition. The chromatographic polyphenolic fingerprint of the four species analysed (Allium sativum - garlic- green leaves, Allium ursinum - wild garlic - green leaves, Malus pumila - apple tree - leaves, Pyrus communis - pear tree - leaves) revealed the present of flavonoid glycosides and hydroxycinnamic acids compounds. Because for all the four species for nutritional and therapeutic purpose are used other part of them (garlic and wild garlic- bulbs and apple and pear-fruits) the results obtained can be a first step for superior valorification of hole plant.
Regenerative Effects of Wharton’s Jelly Stem Cells-Conditioned Medium in UVA-Irradiated Human Dermal Fibroblasts
Authors: Wirohadidjojo Yohanes Widodo , Budiyanto Arief , Soebono Hardyanto 
Published: April 2020

Background: Ultraviolet A radiation (UVA) can photo-age skin by suppressing the proliferation, migration, and collagen deposition of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). This process occurs because UVA light can inhibit the gene expression of the TGF-β receptor in HDFs. Moreover, Wharton’s Jelly Stem Cells-Conditioned Medium (WJSC-CM) is hypothesized to release microvesicles that contain short m-RNA with regenerative properties.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the regenerative properties of WJSC-CM on UVA-Irradiated Human Dermal Fibroblasts (UVA-HDFs)
Methods: Passaged fourth of HDFs obtained from the foreskin of six (11- to 13-year-old) boys were repeatedly irradiated with a total of 10 J/cm2 UVA and treated with various concentrations of WJSC-CM. We used non-irradiated HDFs as positive control. After that, the consumption of TGF-β, cellular proliferation, cellular migration, and collagen deposition of each group were measured and compared.
Results: Compared to the non-irradiated groups, the proliferation rates, migration rates, and collagen deposition of UVA-HDFs significantly decreased (p<0.05). WJSC-CM can improve the consumption of TGF-β, proliferation, and cellular migration of UVA-HDFs. However, WJSC-CM failed to improve the collagen deposition of UVA-HDFs (p>0.05).
Conclusions: WJSC-CM has regenerative properties and is a candidate material for the treatment of prematurely ageing skin induced by UVA-irradiation.
