A predictive human model of language challenges traditional views in linguistics and pretrained transformer research
Authors: Torres-Martínez Sergio 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This paper introduces a theory of mind that positions language as a cognitive tool in its own right for the optimization of biological fitness. I argue that human language reconstruction of reality results from biological memory and adaptation to uncertain environmental conditions for the reaffirmation of the Self-as-symbol. I demonstrate that pretrained language models, such as ChatGPT, lack embodied grounding, which compromises their ability to adequately model the world through language due to the absence of subjecthood and conscious states for event recognition and partition. At a deep level, I challenge the notion that the constitution of a semiotic Self relies on computational reflection, arguing against reducing human representation to data structures and emphasizing the importance of positing accurate models of human representation through language. This underscores the distinction between transformers as posthuman agents and humans as purposeful biological agents, which emphasizes the human capacity for purposeful biological adjustment and optimization. One of the main conclusions of this is that the capacity to integrate information does not amount to phenomenal consciousness as argued by Information Integration Theory. Moreover, while language models exhibit superior computational capacity, they lack the real consciousness providing them with multiscalar experience anchored in the physical world, a characteristic of human cognition. However, the paper anticipates the emergence of new in silico conceptualizers capable of defining themselves as phenomenal agents with symbolic contours and specific goals.

Authors: Iyer Srivastan , Deshmukh Satyajit M. , Tapre Ravi W. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Industrial activities generate significant amounts of wastewater containing toxic heavy metals, posing severe environmental and health risks. This review explores the efficient removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater through adsorption techniques. Adsorption stands out as a promising method due to its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and high efficiency in reducing metal concentrations to permissible levels. The review systematically examines various adsorbents used in industrial effluent treatment, including activated carbon, zeolites, and biochars, highlighting their mechanisms and performance in metal ion removal. Factors influencing adsorption efficiency, such as pH, temperature, adsorbent dosage, and metal ion concentration, are critically evaluated. Recent advancements in adsorption technologies, such as hybrid materials and functionalized adsorbents, are discussed in terms of enhancing removal efficiencies and addressing specific challenges in industrial wastewater treatment. This review provides comprehensive insights into the current state of heavy metal removal by adsorption, emphasizing technological advancements, challenges, and future research directions aimed at sustainable and effective wastewater treatment practices.
How Collostructional Analysis Contributes to the Description of Argument Structure Constructions with Slots for that- and Infinitive Clauses
Authors: Uhrig Peter , Herbst Thomas 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This article analyses two English constructions, the monotransitive

that
-cl

construction and the np+to-infinitive construction. In particular, we will show how the principles of collostructional analysis can be used to establish collo-profiles for argument structure constructions, i.e. the verbs to be found very frequently in a construction, and how such collo-profiles can provide important cues for a semantic characterization of these constructions. In this case, we find that the that-clause cxn contains a large number of verbs of reporting, indicating a factual character of the construction in contrast to the infinitive construction that expresses a kind of modal meaning.
« L’âme faite à partir des ītyē » : l’essai de reconstruction de la psychologie de Bardesane
Authors: Jurasz Izabela 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The study of Bardesane’s anthropological teachings comes up against testimonies that are difficult to interpret and reconcile. Information about the “soul made of elements” and allusions to atomistic theory cannot be fitted into a tripartite anthropological scheme that observes the separation of soul and body. This article examines Bardesanite anthropology in relation to cosmology and physics. By highlighting Bardesanism’s peculiarities, namely the theory of qualities-atoms (perde) component of elemental masses (itye), we can reconstruct its teaching on human origin, constitution and destiny.
Saints in the Latrine: Between Revealing and Relieving in the Late Antique Miracle Collections
Authors: Doroszewska Julia 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The article analyzes evidence related to the latrine in late antique literature. It shows that the latrine was commonly seen as a demonic domain in both pagan and Christian thought of the period. The Christians gave the moral value to the latrine and associated it with the humankind’s sinful nature. However, there are two narratives from Greek collections of miracles that enter into the dialogue with the discourse on the latrine and exploit it for their own ends. These narratives are found in the Miracles of Cyrus and John by Sophronios of Jerusalem and the anonymous Miracles of Artemios. They depict the saintly epiphanies which take place in the latrine, thus exploiting its significance to the extreme. It is argued that they use this setting as a tool to show the elevation of a sinful individual from the lowest moral degradation through the intrusion of a divine agent who comes to his rescue. However, it is achieved in a subversive way. The miraculous process involves not only the appearance of the saints in the latrine, but even the suggestion that they use the latrine and thus degrade their position in favor of the miracle recipient. The article thus sheds new light on the concept of the sainthood, which, by employing scatology, reveals its subversive nature: the saints in the miracle collections are presented as trickster figures who are prone to reverse every situation and combine opposites, here linking the most sacred with the most profane.
The Legend of Diocletian: “Naming and Framing” Diocletian in Coptic Hagiography
Authors: Hidding Aaltje 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In the more than seventeen hundred years that passed since he was proclaimed emperor of the Roman Empire, different stories about Diocletian have provided different images of the emperor. The writers of “passions”, who tell us about the martyrs who died, or allegedly died, during the Diocletianic persecution recoil in horror when they describe this emperor. The reputation of Diocletian as a wicked persecutor is especially apparent in the so-called “epic passions”, that is, spectacular and fantastic stories about martyrs of the Persecution. In this paper, the legend circulating in Egyptian hagiography that Diocletian once was a Christian shepherd before he became a soldier, emperor and eventually persecutor of Christians is analysed. Following the introduction, the paper gives an overview of “the legend of Diocletian” in previous scholarship and presents cognitive discourse analysis as a useful framework for the study of rhetorical framing. An application of this method to the representation of Diocletian in Egyptian hagiography then structures the remainder of the paper in three sections, each focussing on a key component of the cognitive discourse analysis: discursive analysis, an examination of the social background and cognitive analysis.
Origen of Alexandria, Human Dignity and the History of Racism: A Rejoinder
Authors: den Dulk Matthijs 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This brief article is a rejoinder to John Solheid’s “Origen of Alexandria and Human Dignity” (2023), which offers a critique of my “Origen of Alexandria and the History of Racism as a Theological Problem” (2020). While I appreciate Solheid’s substantial engagement with my work and welcome his efforts to find inspiration in Origen for “a theology of human dignity in response to modern racist discourses,” I argue in this rejoinder that none of the evidence cited by Solheid effectively undermines the theses I advanced in my original article, and that Origen’s thought in relation to human dignity does not nullify his hierarchical claims about ethnic identity.
Comparative electron density study on three compounds obtained from Ilex cornuta leaves and known for their anti-adipogenic properties
Authors: Luger Peter , Schmidt Heinz-Jürgen 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Overweight and adiposity are of increasing actual importance. The title compounds from traditional Asian medicine raised actual interest for their anti-adipogenic properties. Of the 16 compounds synthesized in previous work, four were subject of X-ray diffraction analyses, three of them, by CSD code designated JUQKIS (CCDC 1886088), JUQKUE (CCDC 1894160) and JUQKOY (CCDC 1886089) were chosen for the present electron density study based on the invariom formalism. The major chemical difference arising from the terminal keto group in the JUQKIS and JUQKOY derivatives and one of the hydroxyl groups in JUQKUE is discussed as the potential source for different biological activities. Details of the intermolecular interactions and the electron densities in the regions in question were examined.
Lysosomal damage promotes autophagy-based unconventional secretion of the Parkinson’s disease protein PARK7
Authors: Dash Biplab Kumar , Urano Yasuomi , Noguchi Noriko 
Published: November 2024

Graphical abstractSchematic representation of lysosomal damage-induced PARK7 secretion. Upon L-leucyl-L-leucine methyl ester (LLOMe)-induced acute lysosomal damage, PARK7 and galectin-3 (LGALS3) are recruited to damaged lysosomes. Following LLOMe washout, lysophagy is activated, during which autophagosomes selectively engulf the damaged lysosomes containing translocated PARK7 and LGALS3. However, instead of fusing with functional lysosomes for degradation, autophagosomes containing SEC22B bypass the degradative route. This process is facilitated by a specific SNARE complex comprising SEC22B, STX3/4 and SNAP23/29, enabling the autophagosomes to fuse with the plasma membrane, producing PARK7 into the extracellular space. AbstractObjectivePARK7/DJ-1 is a multifunctional protein and redox sensor essential for cellular survival and oxidative stress defense. PARK7 secretion is linked to pathophysiologies, including neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and inflammation. This study investigates the mechanisms of PARK7 secretion in response to lysosomal membrane permeabilization induced by L-leucyl-L-leucine methyl ester (LLOMe).MethodsHeLa and mouse embryonic fibroblasts cells were treated with LLOMe followed by washout with serum-free Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium. PARK7 secretion was analyzed by assessing the intracellular and extracellular protein levels.ResultsUpon LLOMe treatment, PARK7 translocates to damaged lysosomes, colocalizing with galectin-3 (LGALS3), a marker of lysosomal damage. Following LLOMe washout, an increase in lysophagy flux was observed, enhancing the secretion of both PARK7 and LGALS3. The knockdown of TANK-binding kinase 1, a critical lysophagy regulator, suppresses LLOMe-induced PARK7 secretion, confirming a lysophagy-dependent mechanism. Notably, while the inhibition of autophagy initiation blocks PARK7 secretion, the disruption of autophagosome–lysosome fusion does not affect its release. In addition, the SEC22B-mediated SNARE complex, comprising STX3/4 and SNAP23/29, is essential for the fusion of secretory autophagosomes with the plasma membrane during PARK7 secretion.ConclusionThese findings reveal a novel lysophagy-dependent mechanism of PARK7 secretion, where acute lysosomal damage facilitates the recruitment of PARK7 to damaged lysosomes, subsequent autophagosome encapsulation and nondegradative release into the extracellular space through a dedicated SNARE complex.Significance statementThe findings of this study broaden the understanding of unconventional protein secretion under lysosomal stress and highlight the potential therapeutic targets for diseases linked to lysosomal dysfunction, including neurodegeneration and inflammation.
„Apibrėžtos erdvės“ literatūriniame-istoriniame Vinco Mykolaičio-Putino romano „Sukilėliai“ diskurse
Authors: Jakaitė Dalia 
Published: November 2024

The novel “The Rebels” (Sukilėliai) by Vincas Mykolaitis-Putinas was written, edited and unfinished for more than a decade in a historically-ideologically complicated time (~ 1953–1967), almost until the death of the writer. Both the novel and the writing Material written around 1953–1960, which have so far not received the attention of researchers, have not only traces of Soviet-era ideology, but also imprints of authentic historical memory. Bearing in mind the importance of a certain region or specific localities in general in the reception of the uprising of 1863–1864, it is worth taking a fresh look at this aspect in “The Rebels” by Mykolaitis-Putinas, to make an assumption about the meaning of the place and its images in the concept of the novel.
The object of the article is the literary-historical discourse characterized by the memory of specific places, localities or wider territories, countries or ethnographic regions in the novel by Mykolaitis-Putinas and in the Material (additional resource). This discourse is considered to be literary, folkloric, partly also religious intertexts in the research sources, the cultural memory of the uprising characterized by images of places and regions. Methodologically, the research is based on the concept of cultural and social memory. Without bypassing the controversial reception of “The Rebels”, the literary-historical significance of the novel and its wider context is shown by examining such semantic lines as the unity of Lithuanians with Poles, the rebels’ hostility to the maskoliai, the mythologisation of the uprising, the religious narrative, etc.
Corpus approaches to news translation: We can do better than comparable!
Authors: Bernardini Silvia , Ferraresi Adriano , Garcea Federico , Blanco Natalia Rodriguez 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis contribution addresses the challenging issue of building corpus resources for the study of news translation, a domain in which the coexistence of radical rewriting and close translation makes the use of established corpus-assisted analytical techniques problematic. In an attempt to address these challenges, we illustrate and test two related methods for identifying translated segments within trilingual (Spanish, French and English) sets of dispatches issued by the global news agency Agence France-Press. One relies on machine translation and semantic similarity scores, the other on multilingual sentence embeddings. To evaluate these methods, we apply them to a benchmark dataset of translations from the same domain and perform manual evaluation of the dataset under study. We finally leverage the cross-linguistic equivalences thus identified to build a ‘comparallel’ corpus, which combines the parallel and comparable corpus architectures, highlighting its affordances and limitations for the study of news translation. We conclude by discussing the theoretical and methodological implications of our findings both for the study of news translation and more generally for the study of contemporary, novel forms of translation.
Crossing boundaries: Using French Belgian Sign Language (LSFB) and multimodal French corpora for contrastive, translation and interpreting studies
Authors: Gabarró-López Sílvia , Meurant Laurence , Hanquet Nicolas 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe French Belgian Sign Language (LSFB) corpus is the cornerstone of a unique multilingual data system that includes four distinct corpora. The first is a reference corpus containing dialogical LSFB data produced by deaf signers, which is also translated into written French, and the second one is a comparable multimodal corpus of Belgian French containing dialogical data produced by hearing native speakers. The other two corpora are made up of interpreted data, namely a parallel bidirectional corpus of LSFB > French data produced by hearing bimodal interpreters and another unidirectional parallel corpus of French > LSFB co-interpreted data produced by hearing and deaf interpreters working in tandem. This paper aims to describe these four corpora and to provide an overview of previous contrastive research drawing on their data and applications which have been developed so far. A new study contrasting reformulation structures in semi-spontaneous LSFB dialogical data and co-interpreted LSFB data is presented in order to exemplify how these corpora can be further compared to shed light on unknown issues to date such as the specificities of co-interpretation.
Passive constructions in En/Fr human and machine translation
Authors: Henkel Daniel 
Published: November 2024

AbstractPassive constructions in English (be+past participle) and French (être+past participle) were inventoried on a text-per-text basis in a bi-directional French/English corpus. The corpus consisted of 70 (35 × 2) original source texts in each language, 70 (35 × 2) target texts produced by human translators, and the same number of target texts obtained by machine translation with DeepL Pro. Passive constructions were found to be about 70% more frequent in original English than in original French. In the corpora of translated texts, no large disparities were observed, with the exception of French texts translated from English by DeepL, which contained around 40% more passive constructions than original French texts. Correlations between frequencies of analogous passive constructions in pairs of source and target texts were statistically significant and stronger for machine translations than for human translations. Manual analysis of random samples of source/target pairs showed less regular correspondence between the two analogous constructions as counterparts for one another, and greater diversity among alternative translation counterparts in human translation compared with machine translation.
MODERNIZAÇÃO ECOLÓGICA E SOCIEDADE DO RISCO: TEORIAS SOBRE ESCASSEZ E SEUS REFLEXOS NA LEGISLAÇÃO AMBIENTAL
Authors: Franco Caroline , Polli Simone 
Published: November 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo a construção de um quadro legislativo que evidencia a grande influência das teorias da “Modernização Ecológica” e da “Sociedade do Risco” na legislação ambiental brasileira. A partir de uma revisão bibliográfica, são destacados os principais pontos dessas correntes, que propagam a noção de escassez de recursos naturais associada ao desenvolvimento sustentável, e que ainda fundamentam a hermenêutica ambiental no Brasil. O texto também sintetiza as contribuições das teorias críticas da “Ecologia Política” e da “Justiça Ambiental”, que se opõem a essas teorias dominantes. Com base nas ideias apresentadas, o artigo desenvolve um quadro legislativo original e promove uma avaliação qualitativa sobre os efeitos do ideário de desenvolvimento sustentável na legislação ambiental, apontando para a necessidade urgente de reestruturações legislativas e de hermenêutica que contemplem, além da eficiência tecnológica, os conflitos socioambientais e as desigualdades estruturais relacionadas à distintas formas sociais e econômicas de apropriação dos recursos naturais.

Abstract
Chemical insecticides are currently the major management means used against Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) larvae on sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata) in Egypt. However, essential oils-based pesticides (EOs) and new insecticides might also be used. As a first report, this study aimed to assess the effectiveness and biochemical impact of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus Stapf) EO, flonicamid, and flubendiamide insecticides alone or in combination for managing S. frugiperda on sweet corn under field conditions. In addition, the dissipation of these compounds was determined in corn seeds and corn husks using the QuEChERS method combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC-DAD). The field efficacy trials showed that flubendiamide alone or in combination with lemongrass EO was more effective than either lemongrass EO or flonicamid alone or combined. Additionally, biochemical analysis revealed that detoxification enzymes may play an important role in S. frugiperda adaptation to flonicamid and flubendiamide. The residues of flonicamid and flubendiamide in corn seeds were undetectable in all treatments. Conversely, corn husks contained high levels of flubendiamide and flonicamid residues after application at high dosages. Interestingly, the dissipation rates of both tested insecticides increased when combined with lemongrass. The half-life values for flonicamid following the applications on corn husks alone or in combination with lemongrass EO were 4.44 and 2.45 d, respectively, while the half-life values for flubendiamide were 1.25 and 2.72 d, respectively. Our results show the potential use of flubendiamide alone or with lemongrass EO for managing S. frugiperda on sweet corn crops.

Background: Water management and its appropriate use are priorities in arid and semi-arid areas across the globe. Methods: A field experiment was carried out at Hisar in Al-Tunkopry district, Kirkuk Governorate, during 2023 summer season. Split-split plot design was adopted to implement the experiment, using randomized complete blocks design (RCBD). The main plots included irrigation method factor (sprinkler and drip) and the moisture depletion rate was placed in the sub plots (60 and 70% of the available water) while varing irrigation depth were placed in the sub-sub plots (50, 75 and 100)% of the net irrigation depth. Result: Results of the study revealed that the water requirement of the soybean crop under the sprinkler irrigation system reached 1275.9 and 1272.9 mm season-1 at 100% of net irrigation depth and at moisture depletion rates of 60 and 70%, respectively and in drip irrigation system it reached 1170.6 and 1201 mm season-1 for an irrigation level of 100% of the net irrigation depth and at a moisture depletion rate of 60 and 70%, respectively. The yield coefficient values (0.52, 0.90, 1.01, 0.90) and (0.44, 0.85, 0.96, 0.52) at a moisture depletion of 60% for the two methods (drip and sprinkler irrigation). The highest seed yield was 4.094 Mg ha-1 for the sprinkler irrigation treatment with a moisture depletion rate of 60% and an irrigation water level of 50% of the net irrigation depth, while the lowest yield was 2.41800 Mg ha-1 for the drip irrigation treatment with a moisture depletion rate of 60 and a level of 75% of the net depth. The drip irrigation achieved the highest water use efficiency 0.607072 kg m-3, in comparison to the sprinkler irrigation 0.362063 kg m-3.
