The textual colligation of stance phraseology in cross-disciplinary academic discourse
Authors: Dong Jihua , Buckingham Louisa 
Published: December 2018

AbstractThis study investigates the textual colligation of stance phrases at the levels of sentence, paragraph and text in empirical research articles from agriculture and economics. We extracted the textual positions of stance phrases with the softwareWordskew(Barlow, 2016) in two purpose-built corpora of around three million tokens. The results show that stance phrases display similar distribution patterns in the two disciplinary corpora; however, we found significant differences with respect to the frequency of stance phrases in particular textual positions in each corpus. The findings consolidateHoey’s (2005)premise that certain expressions are primed to occur in particular textual positions. We contend that the textual positions of stance phrases may be a result of the routinised discourse function that they serve, and that the appropriate timing of stance-taking is of particular communicative importance.
Solving contradictions in semantic prosody analysis with prosody concord
Authors: Tang Xuri , Liu Gaixiang 
Published: December 2018

AbstractUsing collocation-based approaches, semantic prosody analyses of lemmas likealleviateandcureyield judgments of negative prosody, which contradict common sense. This poses a challenge to the concept of semantic prosody and the principle of co-occurrence. To solve such contradictions, this paper proposes a new approach to semantic prosody analysis named ‘prosody concord’. The approach adopts collostruction as the locus of analysis on the basis of the explication of the unit of meaning model, and uses a mechanism for semantic prosody determination that incorporates multiple sources of information such as interactions of words, collocations, colligations and semantic preferences. Case studies of the lemmasbudge, credibility, causeandalleviateshow that the proposed approach can solve the contradictions and provide a consistent means for semantic prosody analysis.
Academic lexical bundles
Authors: Hyland Ken , Jiang Feng (Kevin) 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
An important component of fluent linguistic production and a key distinguishing feature of particular modes,
registers and genres is the multi-word expressions referred to as ‘lexical bundles’. These are extended collocations which appear
more frequently than expected by chance, helping to shape meanings and contributing to our sense of coherence and distinctiveness
in a text. These strings have been studied extensively, particularly in academic writing in English, but little is known about how
they may have changed over time. In this paper we explore changes in their use and frequency over the past 50 years, drawing on a
corpus of 2.2 million words taken from top research journals in four disciplines. We find that bundles are not static and
invariant markers of research writing but change in response to new conditions and contexts, with the most interesting changes
within disciplines. The paper also discusses methodological approaches to studying bundles diachronically.
An analysis of morphosyntactic variation in the Old Spanish future and conditional
Authors: Graham Lamar A. 
Published: December 2018

AbstractThe presence of two forms of the future and conditional paradigms in Old Spanish is well-attested. The analytic form, which was marked by a mesoclitic, was more syntactically restricted, while the synthetic form, which surfaced with either a proclitic or an enclitic, was essentially free to appear in any syntactic context. It is notable that the analytic form was only acceptable in contexts in which finite verbs obligatorily hosted enclitics. In this article, I test various morphosyntactic factors to determine the level of variation among the analytic and synthetic future and conditional forms across six centuries of Old Spanish. The factors of verb tense, preverbal constituent, and verb stem morphology significantly affect the emergence of mesoclisis or enclisis, as does the century during which the verb is produced; however, subject expression is not a significant factor.
Re-evaluating the reconstruction of Proto-Eskimo-Aleut
Authors: Berge Anna 
Published: December 2018

AbstractThe relationship between Unangam Tunuu (Aleut) and Eskimo was established in the early 19th century, and the 20th century especially saw a number of efforts on the reconstruction of Proto-Eskimo-Aleut (PEA). Reconstruction has supported assumptions of a largely genealogical relationship between the EA languages, assumptions which include a long history of independent development in isolation from other languages and language families. The reconstruction of PEA, however, is incomplete; many apparent cognates have irregular or imperfectly understood sound correspondences. Furthermore, advances in archaeology and genetics have called into question many assumptions about EA prehistory and about the isolation or lack thereof of Unangam Tunuu. In this study, I re-examine the proposed cognates and evaluate them based on the strength of their correspondences and their distribution within the lexicon, with reference to new findings regarding technological innovations and periods of cultural contact. Several patterns emerge, including a large group of proposed cognates with overly-specific semantic correlations relating to technologies or cultural practices post-dating the split of EA languages, a gender-based difference in the number of cognates relating to cultural activities, and a correlation between known borrowings and high levels of cognates in certain semantic domains. Results suggest extensive language contact, especially in the past millennium.
The discourse functions ofcertainlyand its Spanish counterparts in journalistic opinion discourse
Authors: Pérez Blanco María 
Published: December 2018

AbstractThis paper explores the discourse functions ofcertainlyand its Spanish equivalents in the genre of newspaper opinion discourse. Certainty markers seem to have a presence intrinsic to the opinion genre and, therefore, are expected to “exhibit a certain uniformity across languages” (Dafouz, 2008, p. 110). Whereas the non-correspondence betweencertainlyandciertamentesoon becomes apparent, the results of earlier studies (Ramón, 2009;Carretero, 2012) might well lead to the hypothesis that the PPssin dudaanddesde luegorealize in Spanish opinion articles the same discourse functions ascertainlydoes in English newspapers. Drawing on naturally-occurring linguistic data from a corpus of English and Spanish opinion texts (C-OPRES), this study (1) investigates the non-correspondence between cognates and (2) explores the aforesaid research hypothesis. Finally, a translation corpus is used (P-ACTRES) to address the complex relationships between seemingly equivalent words, filling in the gaps of the contrastive analysis. The findings reveal a partial overlap betweencertainlyand its Spanish counterparts as epistemic markers or in concessive contexts; whereas there are also significant differences in the distribution of other discourse functions, mainly regarding the emphasizing use ofcertainlyand the grammaticalization of its so-called equivalents in Spanish as textual and/or interpersonal discourse markers.
Understanding bilingualism in La Mancha schools
Authors: Relaño Pastor Ana María 
Published: December 2018

AbstractThis article discusses narratives of bilingualism told in parental group interviews conducted as part of the critical sociolinguistic ethnography carried out in public and semi-private bilingual schools of the autonomous region of Castilla-La Mancha (Spain). School stakeholders in this region are still adapting to the rapid implementation of bilingual programs in this region, which are transforming classroom linguistic practices and circulating discourses about bilingualism, bilingual education, and the bilingual subject. Among them, families are trying to reconcile their language desires and aspirations for English and bilingualism with the understanding of the type of bilingual education their children are receiving. By taking a social interactional approach to narrative combined with anthropological approaches to the study of conversational narrative, this article analyzes parents’ emotional and moral stancetaking in narratives of bilingualism. The narrative analysis will shed light on how families in Castilla-La Mancha are appropriating bilingualism as ideology and practice in the highly commodified global market of English.
Correlates of health in adolescent elite athletes and adolescents: A cross‐sectional study of 1016 adolescents
Authors: von Rosen Philip , Olofsson Oskar , Väsbom Sebastian , Heijne Annette 
Published: December 2018

AbstractThe primary aim of this cross‐sectional study was to compare subjective correlates of health, such as nutrition, self‐esteem, sleep and stress, between adolescent elite athletes (n = 625) and a reference group of adolescents (n = 391) not involved in elite sports. A secondary aim was to study predictors for self‐perceived stress. A questionnaire was e‐mailed to all participants containing valid questions about competence‐based self‐esteem, nutrition, self‐perceived stress and sleep. Our results show that adolescent elite athletes reported significantly (p < .001) lower self‐perceived stress, competence‐based self‐esteem, a more varied diet and more time of sleep, compared to adolescents not involved in elite sports (Hedges'g 0.31–0.82). Female adolescent elite athletes and female adolescents, compared to their male peer group, reported poorer values for competence‐based self‐esteem (elite, Hedges'g 0.29; adolescents, Hedges'g 0.30) and self‐perceived stress (elite, Hedges'g 0.63; adolescents, Hedges'g 0.60). The linear mixed effect model revealed several significant (p < .05) predictors (sex, general well‐being, competence‐based self‐esteem, sleep during weekdays, BMI, training volume) associated with self‐perceived stress in adolescent elite athletes. In conclusion, differences in correlates of health with a moderate to strong effect sizes were found between the two groups, where elite athletes surprisingly reported less stress, competence‐based self‐esteem, a more varied diet and more time of sleep. Even if injury risk is high in adolescent elite athletes and pressure from multiple stakeholders is evident, it appears that the athletes still have better conditions for a good subjective health, based on self‐reported measures, compared to adolescents not involved in elite sports.
Optimizing recovery to support multi‐evening cycling competition performance
Authors: Richard Normand A , Koehle Michael S 
Published: December 2018

AbstractRoad criterium and track bicycle racing occur at high speeds, demand repeated high power outputs, last 10–90 min, and offer little chance for recovery after the event. Consecutive evenings of criterium and track racing are respectively known as speed‐week or six‐day events and take place in evening hours over the course of a week. Given the schedule and timing of these competitions, return to homeostasis can be compromised. No recommendations exist on how to optimize recovery for cyclists participating in these types of repeated evening competitions. Criterium and track cyclists spend considerable time, near and above the individual lactate threshold and therefore mostly utilize carbohydrate as their chief energy substrate. Henceforth, pre – and post‐race nutrition and hydration is examined and recommendations are brought forward for carbohydrate, protein, and fluid intake. As evening high‐intensity exercise perturbs sleep, strategies to optimize sleep are discussed and recommendations for an optimal sleep environment are given. Active recovery is examined, and the benefits of a short duration low intensity exercise reviewed. Passive recovery methods such as compression garments and cold water immersion are recommended, while evidence for massage, pneumatic compression devices, and neuromuscular electrical stimulation is still lacking. Optimizing recovery strategies will facilitate a return to the resting state following strenuous night competition.
An external focus of attention promotes flow experience during simulated driving
Authors: Harris David J. , Vine Samuel J. , Wilson Mark R. 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACTAchieving a state of flow is associated with positive experiences and improved sporting performance (Jackson & Csikszentmihalyi, 1999). Focused attention is a fundamental component of the flow experience, but to date there has been little investigation of whether attention plays a causal role in creating flow, or is a product of it. Consequently, this study aimed to test the effect of an attentional focus manipulation on flow and performance in a simulated driving task. It was predicted that an external focus would lead to improved visuomotor control, greater flow experience and improved performance. Thirty‐three participants from a student population completed the driving task under both internal and external focus instructions. Eye movements and steering wheel movements were recorded during each race. Participants reported greater flow experience (p < .001, d = 1.78) and enhanced outcome expectancies (p = .02, d = 0.41) under external, compared to internal focus conditions, however, there was no effect on visuomotor control (gaze‐steering coordination and steering entropy) or racing performance (ps > 0.28). These findings suggest that adopting an external focus of attention may contribute to positive performance states such as flow.
Enhancement of tristable energy harvesting using stochastic resonance
Authors: Jin Yanfei , Xiao Shaoming , Zhang Yanxia 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
In this paper, stochastic resonance (SR) is exploited within a tristable electromechanical coupled system to enhance energy harvesting. Assuming that the effective capacitance of the piezoelectric element can be neglected, the coupled electromechanical equations are converted to a second-order stochastic differential equation. Using the adiabatic approximation and the linear response theory, the spectral amplification of the equivalent tristable mechanical system is obtained to characterize the SR. It is observed that the spectral amplification exhibits a maximum as a function of the nonlinear stiffness coefficients and noise intensity. That is, both parameter-optimized SR and traditional SR are found in this system, which can be used to amplify the amplitude of the system response and enhance the performance of nonlinear vibration energy harvesting. Moreover, the efficiency in power conversion and the RMS voltage obtained under the SR effect are much higher than those harvested under ambient random vibration alone. The theoretical results are well verified through the numerical simulations of the original electromechanical coupled system.
Correspondence Between Objective and Self-reported Endocrine Therapy Adherence Among Women With Breast Cancer
Authors: Bright Emma E , Stanton Annette L 
Published: December 2018

AbstractBackgroundAmong the approximately 70% of women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, endocrine therapies lower the likelihood of recurrence. Nonadherence to endocrine therapy predicts lower survival.PurposeWe examined concordance between self-reported and objective indicators of adherence and predictors of over-reporting endocrine therapy adherence among survivors of breast cancer.MethodsWomen with breast cancer (N = 112) receiving their initial endocrine therapy prescription completed three assessments at prescription initiation (Time 1), 1 month (Time 2), and 4 months later (Time 3). At Time 1, participants were provided a medication event monitoring system (MEMS) cap to assess adherence; it was collected at Time 3. Women completed items regarding self-reported adherence, depressive symptoms, cancer-related coping processes, and the patient–physician relationship.ResultsMEMS was significantly negatively correlated with the self-reported nonadherence measurements of occasionally forgetting (Time 2, ρ = −.29, p < .01; Time 3, ρ = −.24, p < .01), nonadherence in the past week (Time 2, ρ = −.53, p < .01; Time 3, ρ = −.45, p < .01), and nonadherence in an average week in the past month (Time 2, ρ = −.38, p < .01; Time 3, ρ = −.39, p < .01). Concordance in objective and self-reported adherence measures was evident in 83% of women at Time 2 and 73% at Time 3. Older age was significantly associated (p < .01) with discordance.ConclusionsFindings reveal moderate correspondence between objective and self-report measures, with self-report overestimating objective adherence. Clinicians should be aware when treating older breast cancer survivors that they are more likely to over self-report their endocrine therapy adherence.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a major oncogene in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), but the use of EGFR-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and therapeutic monoclonal antibodies is associated with poor response and acquired resistance. Understanding the basis for the acquired resistance to these drugs and identifying biomarkers to monitor the ensuing resistance remain a major challenge. We previously showed that reduced expression of annexin A6 (AnxA6), a calcium-dependent membrane-binding tumor suppressor, not only promoted the internalization and degradation of activated EGFR but also sensitized TNBC cells to EGFR-TKIs. Here, we demonstrate that prolong (>3 days) treatment of AnxA6-low TNBC cells with lapatinib led to AnxA6 upregulation and accumulation of cholesterol in late endosomes. Basal extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) activation was EGFR independent and significantly higher in lapatinib-resistant MDA-MB-468 (LAP-R) cells. These cells were more sensitive to cholesterol depletion than untreated control cells. Inhibition of lapatinib-induced upregulation of AnxA6 by RNA interference (A6sh) or withdrawal lapatinib from LAP-R cells not only reversed the accumulation of cholesterol in late endosomes but also led to enrichment of plasma membranes with cholesterol, restored EGFR-dependent activation of ERK1/2 and sensitized the cells to lapatinib. These data suggest that lapatinib-induced AnxA6 expression and accumulation of cholesterol in late endosomes constitute an adaptive mechanism for EGFR-expressing TNBC cells to overcome prolong treatment with EGFR-targeted TKIs and can be exploited as an option to inhibit and/or monitor the frequently observed acquired resistance to these drugs.
Is quality of life impairment associated with chronic diseases dependent on educational level?

Published: December 2018

AbstractBackgroundPrevious research indicates that quality of life impairment as a result of chronic diseases differs between socioeconomic groups, but the pattern seems to vary between health-related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes. We tested for a one-item and a multi-item outcome whether associations between diseases and HRQOL varied between educational levels.MethodsData come from Dutch participants of HELIUS (N =4615, aged 18–70). Education was defined as low, middle or high. Myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, hypertension, diabetes, obesity and depressed mood were measured using physical examination and/or self-report. Outcomes were fair/poor self-rated health (SRH) and physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) SF-12 scores. Interaction terms and relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) were used as measures of additive interaction.ResultsSRH and PCS were worst in lower educated participants, whereas MCS was worst in middle educated participants. Out of thirty-six interactions tested, four were statistically significant, with risks of poor HRQOL being both larger and smaller in low vs. high education groups. Obesity was associated with smaller risk of fair/poor SRH in low vs. high educated [RERI=−2.49 (−4.66; −0.33)]. Depressed mood was associated with more [b=−3.34 (−6.14; −0.54)] and hypertension with less reduction in PCS [b=1.23 (0.18; 2.27)] in middle vs. high educated. Depressed mood was highly associated with MCS, but less so in middle vs. high educated [b=4.09 (0.72; 7.47)].ConclusionDespite a higher prevalence of diseases in low education groups, if measured in absolute terms, most diseases were not associated with larger impairment of HRQOL in lower vs. higher educated groups, regardless of the outcome measure used.

Abstract
Pythium insidiosum causes the life-threatening disease, called pythiosis. Information on microbial pathogenesis could lead to an effective method of infection control. This study aims at assessing temperature-dependent proteomes, and identifying putative virulence factors of P. insidiosum. Protein extracts from growths at 25°C and 37°C were analyzed by mass spectrometry and SWISS-PROT database. A total of 1052 proteins were identified. Upon exposure to increased temperature, 219 proteins were markedly expressed, eight of which were putative virulence factors of P. insidiosum. These temperature-dependent proteins should be further investigated for their roles in pathogenesis, and some of which could be potential therapeutic targets.

Published: December 2018

AbstractBACKGROUNDAlthough deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the dorsolateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a well-established surgical treatment for patients with Parkinson disease (PD), there is still controversy about the relationship between the functional segregation of the STN and clinical outcomes.OBJECTIVETo correlate motor and neuropsychological (NPS) outcomes with the overlap between the volume of activated tissue (VAT) and the tractography-defined regions within the STN.METHODSRetrospective study evaluating 13 patients with PD treated with STN-DBS. With the aid of tractography, the STN was segmented into 4 regions: smaSTN (supplementary motor area STN), m1STN (primary motor area STN), mSTN (the sum of the m1STN and the smaSTN segments), and nmSTN (non-motor STN). We computed the overlap coefficients between these STN regions and the patient-specific VAT. The VAT outside of the STN was also calculated. These coefficients were then correlated with motor (Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, UPDRS III) and NPS outcomes.RESULTSStimulation of the mSTN segment was significantly correlated with UPDRS III and bradykinesia improvement. Stimulation of the smaSTN segment, but not the m1STN one, had a positive correlation with bradykinesia improvement. Stimulation of the nmSTN segment was negatively correlated with the improvement in rigidity. Stimulation outside of the STN was correlated with some beneficial NPS effects.CONCLUSIONStimulation of the tractography-defined motor STN, mainly the smaSTN segment, is positively correlated with motor outcomes, whereas stimulation of the nmSTN is correlated with poor motor outcomes. Further validation of these results might help individualize and optimize targets prior to STN-DBS.
