“Morphological transposition” as the onset of recategorization: The case of luxe in Dutch
Authors: Van Goethem Kristel , Koutsoukos Nikos 
Published: November 2018

AbstractCategory change and recategorization processes have received renewed attention in recent years. In this paper, we focus on the shift from noun to adjective on the basis of a corpus-based study of the Dutch lexical itemluxe‘luxury; luxurious’. What is particularly interesting about this case is that in some contextsluxecombines nominal and adjectival properties (e.g.een erg luxe hotel‘a very luxury/luxurious hotel’) and displays someintersective gradience. We will investigate to what extentluxeexhibits the typical profile of an adjective in present-day Dutch by applying a specific set of synchronic criteria, in addition to a diachronic analysis of the data, and by taking into account regional variation between Belgian and Netherlandic Dutch. This detailed data analysis will allow us to examine which type of recategorization process is responsible for the N>A shift. Since the category change is not formally marked, we will examine whether we are dealing with a case of conversion (a regular morphological process of category change) or syntactic transposition (thead hocuse of a lexical item in a syntactic context typical of another category). We will conclude that this particular type of change cannot be correctly attributed to either conversion or syntactic transposition and that a new type of category change should be considered responsible for this case and similar ones, i.e. “morphological transposition”. This process takes place within attributive compounds and is followed by a process of debonding and further context expansion.
The morphologization of negation constructions in Nalca (Mek, Tanah Papua), or, how nothing easily moves to the middle of a word
Authors: Wälchli Bernhard 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThe Mek language Nalca has undergone a rapid synthetization of verbal negation by way of two successive stages of asymmetric negation, the first one involving referential zeroing with a verbal noun, the second one reintroducing person marking with an auxiliary in analogy to non-verbal predicates. This development can be traced in texts in the more conservative closely related Mek language Eipo. Referential zeroing originally had the connotation of absolute negation (more than the denial of one specific event). As Nalca negation was integrated into inflectional morphology, it developed some of the hallmarks of autonomous morphology – morphomes and empty morphs. Nalca negation illustrates how grammaticalization and analogy can go hand-in-hand. The fusion of verbal negation is a case of the morphologization of a construction which does not occur in isolation but in concert with other similar processes, together entailing a fragmentation of negation marking. Finally, the Nalca development shows that cases of fusion of verbal negation must be taken into account when dealing with the interplay of existential negation and verbal negation in terms of cyclic processes.
Sonority distance and similarity avoidance effects in Moroccan Judeo-Spanish
Authors: Bradley Travis G. , Adams Jacob J. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThis article investigates consonant gemination in late Nineteenth- and early Twentieth-centuryhaketía, a now moribund, regional dialect of Judeo-Spanish spoken in northern Morocco since the late fifteenth century. Some, but not all, consonant clusters arising across a word boundary undergo regressive total assimilation, e.g. [n.n]siudad ninguna‘no city’ but [z.n]laz niñas‘the girls’. We present novel descriptive generalizations to show that regressive gemination is sensitive to the degree of sonority distance between the coda and the onset. Evidence of parasitic harmony comes from lateral+consonant clusters, which undergo gemination only if the target and trigger consonants are already similar in some respect. In the framework of Optimality Theory, we formalize syllable contact as a relational hierarchy of *Distanceconstraints and capture parasitic harmony effects by similarity avoidance, or Obligatory Contour Principle, constraints against adjacent consonants with identical manner and/or place features. These markedness constraints interact with other universal faithfulness and markedness constraints in a language-specific ranking that predicts the attested patterns of regressive gemination. This study lends further support to sonority distance effects and gradient syllable contact in phonological theory and shows that similarity avoidance is also necessary to give a full account of regressive gemination in Moroccan Judeo-Spanish.

New numerical method based on Generalized Bessel function to solve nonlinear Abel fractional differential equation of the first kind
Authors: Parand K. , Nikarya M. 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Fractional calculus and fractional differential equations (FDE) have many applications in different branches of sciences. But, often a real nonlinear FDE has not the exact or analytical solution and must be solved numerically. Therefore, we aim to introduce a new numerical algorithm based on generalized Bessel function of the first kind (GBF), spectral methods and Newton–Krylov subspace method to solve nonlinear FDEs. In this paper, we use the GBFs as the basis functions. Then, we introduce explicit formulas to calculate Riemann–Liouville fractional integral and derivative of GBFs that are very helpful in computation and saving time. In the presented method, a nonlinear FDE will be converted to a nonlinear system of algebraic equations using collocation method based on GBF, then the solution of this nonlinear algebraic system will be achieved by using Newton-generalized minimum residual (Newton–Krylov) method. To illustrate the reliability and efficiency of the proposed method, we apply it to solve some examples of nonlinear Abel FDE.

Authors: Wu YuHui , Jiang Rui , Xu Ping , Wang Guanron , Wang Jianhu , Yang Sumi 
Published: November 2018

Background: The study was to analyze the therapeutic effect and risk factors of in-hospital mortality in patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection operated by Sun’s procedure.
Methods: From Jan. 2010 to March 2016, 72 patients whose data was fully accessible underwent Sun’s procedure in our hospital due to acute Stanford type A aortic dissection. Patients were divided into the survival group and the death group, and the risk factors for in-hospital mortality were collected and analyzed.
Results: All 72 patients were diagnosed as acute Stanford type A aortic dissection by CT angiography in which the ascending aorta, aortic arch and descending aorta were involved; these patients were operated by Sun’s procedure. The operation of proximal aorta included 39 Bentall procedure, one David surgery, and 32 ascending aorta replacement. The in-hospital mortality rate was 19.4% (14 patients). Studies showed the risk factors for the in-hospital mortality included the body mass index, cardiopulmonary bypass time, operation time, intraoperative transfusion of red blood cells and plasma volume, and the total perioperative transfusion of red blood cells, plasma and cryoprecipitate volume. Independent risk factors included the body mass index and cardiopulmonary bypass time.
Conclusion: Acute Stanford type A aortic dissection is a severe, complex disease with high in-hospital mortality, though the Sun’s procedure is an effective surgical approach in treating this kind of disease in some center. Body mass index and cardiopulmonary bypass time are independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality.

Published: November 2018

Objective: to analyze the spectrum of toxic reactions associated with various polyradiomodification regimens used in the combination therapy for rectal cancer.Materials and methods. We have conducted a retrospective analysis of the data from a prospectively collected database. We included patients with stages сT2–3N0M0 and сT2–3N1–2M0 resectable rectal cancer. Polyradiomodification regimens included a course of radiotherapy (5 × 5 Gy) with the following radiomodifiers: rectal administration of a biopolymer composition containing metronidazole (MZ) at a dose of 10 g/m2 (twice), intracavitary local microwave hyperthermia (three times on days 3–5) and oral capecitabine (Cap).Results. The study included 241 participants. Toxic reactions were observed in less than 33.2 % of patients receiving polyradiomodification as a part of combination therapy. The most common adverse events were gastrointestinal toxicity and neurotoxicity, diagnosed in 28.6 % and 17.4 % of cases respectively. The frequency of toxic reactions was significantly higher in patients receiving Cap14 + MZ regimen than in those receiving Cap5 + MZ regimen (p = 0.0038). However, the inclusion of microwave hyperthermia in both Cap5 and Cap14 therapeutic regimens had no impact on the frequency of toxic reactions (44.2 and 31.5 % respectively, p = 0.146). The proportion of patients with grade III gastrointestinal toxicity did not significantly vary across the groups (p = 0.16).Conclusion. The course of polyradiomodification included into the combination therapy for rectal cancer has an acceptable toxicity profile and can be used to improve long-term outcomes of combination treatment for rectal cancer.

Published: November 2018

Background.The evaluation of clinical and morphological characteristics is not sufficient to predict the prognosis of metastatic colorectal cancer (mRCC). Tumor aggressiveness may vary significantly even in patients with similar clinical and morphological disease characteristics. These differences are believed to be associated with molecular tumor characteristics and can be used as additional prognostic factors for patient survival.Objective:to evaluate the effect of topoisomerase IIα overexpression (topoIIα) in primary colon tumor on the mRCC prognosis.Materials and methods. The study cohort included patients with mRCC that have not previously received treatment for disseminated disease. All participants had a morphologically verified diagnosis of colon adenocarcinoma and received first-line chemotherapy with oxaliplatin and capecitabine. We evaluated both short-term and long-term treatment outcomes. We also assessed the expression of topoIIα in primary colon tumors (biopsy/surgical specimens obtained prior to initiation of first-line treatment) using immunohistochemical methods. We aimed to evaluate the association between the level of topoIIα expression and short-term/long-term treatment outcomes. We analyzed the impact of topoIIα expression in the primary tumor on the efficacy of first-line chemotherapy, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with mRCC.Results. Immunohistochemical evaluation of topoIIα expression in the primary tumor was conducted for 39 patients with mRCC. We found no correlation between topoIIα expression and PFS, i.e. median PFS did not differ significantly between patients with topoIIα-positive and topoIIα-negative tumors (p >0.05). Individuals with low levels of topoIIα expression in the primary tumor and those with topoIIα-negative cancer demonstrated significantly higher OS than patients with topoIIα overexpression (median OS 16.30 ± 2.0 months; 95 % confidence interval 12.32–20.28 vs 7.7 ± 4.98 months; 95 % confidence interval 0.00–17.46; p = 0.007).Conclusion.Overexpression of topoIIα is a factor of poor prognosis associated with poorer OS in patients with mRCC that received first-line chemotherapy with oxaliplatin and capecitabine.

Objective:to analyze treatment outcomes in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer that received various combinations of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy.Materials and methods. In this retrospective study, we analyzed a cohort of prospectively recruited patients with stage mrT3(CRM+)/ T4N0–2M0 locally advanced rectal cancer. Participants were divided into three groups. Patients in Group 1 received preoperative longcourse radiotherapy given concurrently with capecitabine, followed by 2–6 cycles of consolidation chemotherapy with capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CapOx). In Group 2, patients initially received 1–2 cycles of induction chemotherapy with CapOx, followed by radiotherapy + capecitabine, and then consolidation chemotherapy with CapOx (“sandwich” method). Participants in Group 3 were treated with 1–3 cycles of induction CapOx chemotherapy with subsequent long-course chemoradiotherapy. After the combination treatment, all patients underwent surgery. The primary endpoint of this study was therapeutic pathomorphosis. Secondary endpoints included complete clinical response, toxicity, local recurrence, distant metastasis, and relapse-free survival.Results.This study included 155 patients (98 in Group 1, 44 in Group 2, and 13 in Group 3). Grade III toxicity was documented in 6.12 %, 4.55 %, and 23.08 % of cases in Groups 1, 2, and 3 respectively. None of the patients had grade IV toxicity. Grade III therapeutic pathomorphosis was achieved in 33.7 %, 22.7 %, and 23.1 % of patients in Groups 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Grade IV therapeutic pathomorphosis was observed in 14.3 %, 15.9 %, and 7.69 % of patients in Groups 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Complete clinical response was registered in 16.3 %, 11.4 %, and 0 % of cases in Groups 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Median follow-up was 47.2 months with no signs of progression. Relapses were observed in 1.02 % and 2.27 % of patients from Group 1 and Group 2 respectively, whereas Group 3 demonstrated no relapses. A total of 11.22 %, 13.64 %, and 23.1 % of participants from Groups 1, 2, and 3 respectively developed distant metastasis.Conclusion.Polychemotherapy used within the consolidation and «sandwich» treatment regimens is a promising option for the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer. The efficacy of induction chemotherapy should be further studied with a larger sample.

Published: November 2018

Presacral venous bleeding is a rare but potentially fatal complication in pelvic surgery. This type of bleeding is difficult to control. Existing methods are not without shortcomings, therefore, the search for a more reliable method. We are present a case of successful bleeding control using by plates of medium-porous nitinol (pore size of 300–450 μm, permeability of 12 × 10–9). Hemostasis was carried out by pressing a plate to the bleeding zone for 4 minutes.

Published: November 2018

Background: Abnormal vaginal bleeding may be caused by an extensive spectrum of disorders, both gynecologic and non-gynecologic. Diagnostic accuracy of abnormal uterine bleeding is important for the management. Trans vaginal sonography (TVS) is one of the commonest investigation used for the diagnosis, but the diagnosis is not always accurate for all clinical conditions. Saline instillation sonography (SIS) has been shown to improve the diagnosis. Authors aimed to compare the TVS and SIS diagnosis with the final histopathological diagnosis.Methods: Seventy-five patients with the complained of abnormal uterine bleeding attending outpatient department of a tertiary care institute were enrolled for the study. Trans vaginal sonography (TVS) and saline instillation sonography (SIS) was done on outpatient basis. The diagnosis was compared with final histopathological diagnosis, in term of diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value.Results: Seventy-five patients who were enrolled for the study. Sixty-four patients underwent surgery and final histopathological diagnosis was established. Four patients SIS was not possible, data was analysed for sixty patients.Conclusions: In SIS abnormal uterus diagnosis confidence was significantly improved (p value 0.001) when compared to TVS. The diagnosis of submucous myoma significantly improved (p=0.015) by SIS when compared to TVS. There was no significant difference between TVS and SIS diagnosis of Myoma remote from the endometrium (p=0.522), Adenomyosis (p=1), Focal endometrial abnormality (p=0.654) and Diffuse endometrial abnormality (p=1). The SIS sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were either improved or same, when compare to TVS for all the diagnosis except for the diagnosis of focal endometrial abnormality.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are disturbances in the skeletal muscles that affect workers, ranging from mild to very severe complaints. MSDs complaints can be caused by internal factor such as gender, age, years of employement, smoking habit and external factor such as exposure to hot work climates. These was an analytical-observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The research samples consisted of 65 workers. Samples were selected by simple random sampling. Individual characteristics data collected by questionnaire, work climates data were obtained by Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) measurement and MSDs complaints data were analyzed by Nordic Body Map (NBM). All data were analyzed by the Spearman-rho correlation with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results showed that most of workers had a moderate risk of MSDs complaints (55.4%). Based on WBGT measurement, work climate exceeded the Threshold Limit Value (TLV). There were no correlation between MSDs complaints and workers characteristics (age, years of employment, and smoking habits). However, there was a significant correlation between MSDs complaints and work climate (p = 0.000; r = 0.730). The company are advised to redesign natural and artificial ventilation system, increasing the knowledge of all workers about ergonomic risks prevention based on their activities, reduce the health effects of workers smoking habit by regular exercise every day and set time of job rotation for 5-15 minutes/hour for workers do other work with a lighter workload. Keywords: individual characteristics, work climate, MSDs complaints
Special Issue on Design and Manufacturing for Environmental Sustainability
Authors: Umeda Yasushi 
Published: November 2018

This is the fourth special issue on design and manufacturing for environmental sustainability. While Japanese manufacturers are not so active in this field, the trend of integrating sustainability into manufacturing activities and management of companies is becoming dominant. We can point out three epoch-making instances: namely, United Nations’ ‘Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),’ which consists of 17 goals to be achieved by 2030, covering not only environmental sustainability but also social and human sustainability; EU’s ‘Circular Economy,’ which promotes various routes for resource circulation (e.g., reuse, remanufacturing, maintenance, and recycling) for increasing employment and market competitiveness of EU and resource efficiency; and ‘Paris Agreement’ on climate change, which enforces reduction of the emission of greenhouse gases to zero by the end of this century.
This special issue includes six well-written papers, all of which are deeply related to these three policies. The first four papers focus on product life cycle or even multiple product life cycles. This aspect is an inherent feature of design and manufacturing for environmental sustainability, which was not considered in traditional design and manufacturing. The keywords of these four papers are life cycle CO2 emission evaluation of electric vehicles, life cycle simulation of reuse among multiple product life cycles, disassembly part selection based on the idea of life expectancy, and personalization design aiming at avoiding mass production and mass disposal. The latter two papers are rather fresh in this journal. The fifth paper deals with customer preferences in Indonesia. Focusing on life styles in developing countries is a very important topic emphasized in SDGs. The last paper deals with food waste, which is emphasized in both SDGs and Circular Economy.
Most of the papers, revised and extended in response to the editor’s invitations, were originally presented at EcoDesign 2017: the tenth International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing, held in Tainan, Taiwan.
The editor sincerely thanks the authors and reviewers for their devoted work in making this special issue possible. We hope that these articles will encourage further research on design and manufacturing for environmental sustainability.
