Authors: Elbracht Miriam , Prawitt Dirk , Nemetschek Rebekka , Kratz Christian , Eggermann Thomas 
Published: April 2018

ZusammenfassungDie vorliegenden Empfehlungen der internationalen Beckwith-Wiedemann-Syndrom (BWS/BWSp)-Konsensus-Gruppe stellen einen Rahmen für die Verbesserung der Diagnostik und der klinischen Begleitung bei Patienten des BWSp dar. Hierbei ist den komplexen genetischen Basismechanismen und den variablen Multisystem-Phänotypen des BWSp dahingehend Rechnung zu tragen, dass ein verantwortlicher klinischer Ansprechpartner die notwendige Koordination der unterschiedlichen Aspekte für den einzelnen Patienten übernimmt. Die vorgeschlagenen diagnostischen und medizinischen Empfehlungen sollen hierbei praktikabel und kosten-effektiv gestaltet sein. Nichtsdestotrotz sind auf dem Hintergrund der sehr unterschiedlichen Gesundheitssysteme und medizinrechtlichen Vorgaben weitere Datenerhebungen wichtig, um tatsächlich auf lange Sicht die besten Strategien, z. B. in der Tumorfrüherkennnung, allgemein gültig empfehlen zu können. Daher müssen die hier gegebenen Konsensus-Empfehlungen im Rahmen prospektiver Studien evaluiert und weiteren zukünftigen Konsensus-Initiativen zur Evidenz-basierten Überprüfung vorgelegt werden.

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Mandeloperationen bei Kindern zählen zu den schmerzhaftesten Eingriffen. Altersgerechte Schmerzskalen sind die Kindliche Unbehagens- und
Schmerzskala (KUSS), die Faces Pain Scale–Revised (FPS-R) und der kaum bekannte PPPM-D-Fragebogen. Ziel war Evaluation der Analgesie bei durch Eltern
angeforderter Nichtopioid-Medikation (NOM) mit Ibuprofen (IBU) und Paracetamol (PCM) nach intrakapsulärer Tonsillektomie (TO) oder extrakapsulärer
Tonsillektomie (TE). Als Rescue-Medikation (RM) wurde nach Prüfung der Schmerzskalen Piritramid appliziert. Endpunkte waren Anteil der Patienten (PAT), der die
RM benötigte, Menge applizierter NOM, Übereinstimmung der Indikation in verschiedenen Schmerzskalen, Korrelation von Schmerzen mit Prämedikation und
Eingriffsdauer.
Material/Methoden Postoperativ erfolgten 3 Messungen täglich mit KUSS bei PAT ≤ 4 Jahre bzw. FPS-R ≥ 5 Jahre. Eltern füllten den PPPM-D aus. Bei einem
Wert ≥ 4 bei KUSS bzw. FPS-R oder ≥ 6 im PPPM-D wurde die RM indiziert.
Ergebnisse 68 PAT wurden in eine Zwischenauswertung eingeschlossen. Durchschnittliche tägliche NOM in den ersten 3 Tagen: nach TE 14,1–16,3 mg/Kg IBU und
4,2–12,4 mg/Kg PCM bzw. nach TO 10,8–14,7 mg/Kg IBU und 5,2–8,8 mg/Kg PCM. Bei 212 Visiten wurde die RM indiziert, davon 121 Mal nur durch den PPPM-D. Nach
Ausschluss eventuell falsch-positiver Indikationen benötigten 67 % der PAT nach TE und 48 % der PAT nach TO mindestens einmal die RM. Die Studie wurde wegen des
hohen RM-Bedarfs abgebrochen.
Schlussfolgerungen Der Bedarf an NOM wurde unterschätzt. Der PPPM-D kombiniert mit etablierten Skalen kann die postoperative Schmerztherapie
verbessern.
Postprandial Increase in Blood Plasma Levels of Tissue Factor–Bearing (and Other) Microvesicles Measured by Flow Cytometry: Fact or Artifact?
Authors: Mørk Morten , Nielsen Morten , Bæk Rikke , Jørgensen Malene , Pedersen Shona , Kristensen Søren 
Published: April 2018

AbstractTissue factor (TF)–bearing microvesicles (MVs) and exosomes may play a role in hemostasis and thrombosis. MVs may be quantified by flow cytometry (FC)–based detection of phosphatidylserine (PS)-positive submicron particles carrying specific antigens, although interference from lipoproteins complicates this approach. In this study, we evaluated the effect of food intake on blood levels of TF-bearing particles measured by FC and small extracellular vesicles (EVs) measured by a protein microarray–based test termed EV Array. Platelet-free plasma (PFP) was obtained from 20 healthy persons in the fasting state and 75 minutes after consumption of a meal. Postprandial changes in the concentration of PS-positive particles, including subgroups binding labeled antibodies against TF, CD41, CD146, and CD62E, respectively (FC), small EVs (EV Array), and TF antigen and procoagulant phospholipids (PPLs) were measured. Furthermore, we tested the effect on FC results of in vitro addition of lipoproteins to fasting PFP. We found significantly increased plasma concentrations of PS-positive particles and all examined subgroups postprandially, while no changes in small EVs, PPL, or TF antigen levels were found. Levels of all types of particles measured by FC were also elevated by lipoprotein spiking. In conclusion, meal consumption as well as in vitro addition of lipoproteins to fasting plasma induces increased levels of PS-positive particles as measured by FC, including TF-positive subtypes and subtypes exposing other antigens. While the observed postprandial increase may to some extent reflect elevated MV levels, our results indicate a substantial interference from lipoproteins.
Deconstructing the myth of positively evaluative irony
Authors: Dynel Marta 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Adopting a neo-Gricean perspective on the figure of irony, this chapter critically examines the species of irony that communicates positive evaluation in its implicated meaning. A critical overview of the existing scholarship on this type of irony is performed, with the focus being on the rationale for its intermittence and on the available examples. Further support is thus given to a view that irony must implicate negative evaluation. In the case of irony couched in overtly untruthful negatively evaluative expression of one referent, a negatively evaluated antecedent (another referent) is necessary. The speaker’s intention to convey the latter form of evaluative implicature lies at the heart of irony, whilst the positively evaluative implicature is just an optional concomitant.
Irony as counter positioning
Authors: Chovanec Jan 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
This chapter examines how ironic utterances in online news forums are used for the purpose of collective positioning of the commenting readers in opposition to other groups. Approaching irony as an act of echoic

interpretation, the analysis focuses on how readers echo both the representations made by the media texts and the beliefs and ideologies presumed to be held by other social actors. It is argued that through irony, readers express their oppositional attitudes, disaffiliating themselves from the ironized social actors and their real or assumed representations. Simultaneously, ironists enforce their own opinions and standpoints, which are not just personal but – as argued in the paper – representative of a larger group to which the commenter belongs. By tracing how irony is used in reader comments to delegitimize dissonant views and emphasize contrastive self-positioning, this paper seeks to extend the application of an interactional pragmatic approach to irony by adding a critical discourse analytical dimension to it.
Introduction
Authors: Ponsonnet Maïa , Vuillermet Marine 
Published: April 2018

AbstractThis volume presents nine chapters dealing with emotionally loaded morphology over four continents. The collection is the result of a workshop on “morphology and emotions” (MorphÉm) held by the first author at Dynamique du Langage (CNRS) in Lyon on 29–30 April 2015. In this introduction, we first discuss our definitions of the terms “emotions”, “morphology”, and the intersection between the two (Section 1). InSection 2, we contextualize the study of the morphological encoding of emotions within semantic typology and semantic ecology, and spell out some of the cross-linguistic generalizations that can be made about the morphological encoding of emotions on the basis of the contributions in this volume. InSection 3, we summarize the findings of the volume on the more specific topic of evaluative morphology, the most widespread type of emotionally loaded morphology. Finally,Section 4offers a chapter-by-chapter outline of the volume.
A preliminary typology of emotional connotations in morphological diminutives and augmentatives
Authors: Ponsonnet Maïa 
Published: April 2018

AbstractThis article presents a preliminary typology of emotional connotations in evaluative morphology, starting with diminutives and augmentatives. I inventory the emotional meanings and connotations found in a sample of nineteen languages for diminutives, and nine languages plus a few additional regional studies for augmentatives. Given the small size of the samples, this typology can only remain preliminary, but it does highlight a number of points. Across languages and continents, diminutives can express positive emotions such as compassion, love and admiration, as well as negative emotions such as contempt. The emotional connotations of augmentatives are more limited, but display a blend of positive and negative emotions including contempt and repulsion, admiration and respect, endearment and compassion. Diminutives and augmentatives do not contrast sharply with respect to emotional valence (positive or negative), but while diminutives are anchored in intimacy, the emotions conveyed by augmentatives more often relate to broader social contexts.
Diminutives and augmentatives in Beja (North-Cushitic)
Authors: Vanhove Martine , Hamid Ahmed Mohamed-Tahir 
Published: April 2018

AbstractThe evaluative morphology of Beja consists of four devices: gender shift to feminine on nouns, and sound change (r>l) on nouns, verbs and adjectives form the diminutives. A suffix-loːjon adjectives, and-lon Manner converbs, form the augmentatives. The analysis focuses on the evaluative, emotional and other pragmatic values associated with these morphemes, size, endearment, praise, romantic love, contempt, politeness and eloquence. When relevant, the links to the general mechanism of semantic change,lambda-abstraction-specificationproposed byJurafsky (1996), is discussed. This paper also discusses productivity, cases where the evaluative device has scope over an adjacent noun instead of its host, the distribution of values across semantic domains and genres, and cases of lexicalization. The corpus analysis shows that the proportional frequency of pragmatic expressive connotations compared to the denotational meaning is higher for diminutives than for augmentatives. Further, with diminutives, positive emotional values are more frequent than negative ones, while with augmentatives attested pejorative values are very rare. The analysis is set within a typological framework.
The grammatical expression of emotions in Tacana and other Takanan languages
Authors: Guillaume Antoine 
Published: April 2018

AbstractThis paper studies four grammatical markers of emotions in Tacana, an Amazonian language from the Takanan family spoken in Northern Bolivia. Two markers express positive emotions,chidi‘affection’ andichenu‘compassion’. The other two express negative emotions:base‘depreciation 1’ andmadha‘depreciation 2’. The paper also provides a historical-comparative study of similar morphemes in the other Takanan languages (Araona, Cavineña, Ese Ejja and Reyesano). The Tacana affection morpheme is probably reconstructible to a diminutive marker in proto-Takanan. The compassion and two depreciation morphemes are not reconstructible but recent grammaticalizations of lexical items still used in the different Takanan languages. Interestingly, these lexemes do not display any synchronic or diachronic link with the expression of “diminutivization” or “augmentativization”. Therefore, this paper suggests that the morphological expression of emotions should be studied in its own right, and not necessarily as a subtype of the evaluative field of research.
The rise and fall of Mojeño diminutives through the centuries
Authors: Rose Françoise 
Published: April 2018

AbstractThis paper investigates the diachrony of diminutives in Mojeño across four centuries. First, it shows that the three Mojeño diminutives have two lexical sources: ‘child’ and ‘seed’. This constitutes a counterexample toJurafsky’s (1996)theory concerning the universal source of diminutives. Second, the paper investigates the grammaticalization process of diminutives and their further distributional and functional changes. It shows that the extension of the distribution onto verbs and grammatical parts of speech correlates with the gain of emotional connotations. It describes the evolution of emotional connotations of the diminutives and the pragmaticalization of their interactional functions until the eventual shift to purely expressive morphemes when diminutives lose their core meaning of ‘smallness’. Third, since each of the three language varieties has one ‘true’ diminutive only, two successive cycles of diminutive renewal are hypothesized, whereby an old diminutive is replaced by a new one.
The encoding of emotions in Kakataibo (Panoan)
Authors: Zariquiey Roberto 
Published: April 2018

AbstractKakataibo (a Panoan language spoken in Peru) encodes emotional meanings by means of various morphological and prosodic devices. Some of them may be related to pragmatic implications (like the expression of affection by the diminutive), but others constitute dedicated emotional markers (as is the case of the illocutionary suffixes, augmentative nominalizers and nasalized imperatives). The fact that almost all the emotional markers carry nasalization is interpreted here as a possible case of language-internal sound-symbolism between nasalization and (negative) emotional meanings. This paper also shows that in Kakataibo we find a systematic pattern according to which dedicated emotional markers express negative emotions and never positive ones. Both the phonological and the semantic systems described in this paper may reveal patterns relevant for the cross-linguistic research on the grammar of emotions.
Expressive values of reduplication in Barunga Kriol (northern Australia)
Authors: Ponsonnet Maïa 
Published: April 2018

AbstractThis article describes the semantic values of reduplication in Barunga Kriol – an English-based creole of northern Australia –, with a focus on its expressive functions. Barunga Kriol reduplication has two types of functions. Its most frequent meaning is aspectual atelicity. In addition, it has a number of expressive meanings and connotations: hypocoristic usages; descriptions of children’s games and imitations; and a softening role in imperatives and reprimands. Contrary to the aspectual value of reduplication which is iconically motivated, expressive values are motivated by the pragmatic association of reduplication with children.Expressive uses of reduplication in Borunge are rarer and less regular than the grammaticalized aspectual uses, which are very frequent. Aspectual reduplication is optional most of the time, so that explaining its actual distribution in discourse is a complicated matter. This article shows that this distribution can often be explained in the view of the expressive values of reduplication (some of them also conveyed by affixal evaluative morphology in the Australian languages that have been replaced by this creole). Thus, taking into account the expressive dimension of reduplication contributes significantly to the linguistic analysis of the grammaticalized aspectual function of reduplication.

Abstract
Sequence variation in a microRNA (miRNA) seed region can influence its biogenesis and effects on target mRNAs; however, in mammals, few seed region mutations leading to functional alterations have been reported to date. Here, we report the identification of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with functional consequence located in the seed region of porcine miR-378. In vitro analysis of this rs331295049 A17G SNP showed significantly up-regulated expression of the mature miR-378 (miR-378/G). In silico target prediction indicated that the SNP would modulate secondary structure and result in functional loss affecting &gt;85% of the known target genes of the wild-type miR-378 (miR-378/A), and functional gain affecting &gt;700 new target genes, and dual-luciferase reporter assay verified this result. This report of a SNP in the seed region of miR-378 leads to functional alteration and indicates the potential for substantive functional consequences to the molecular physiology of a mammalian organism.
Novel assay system for acidic Peptide:N-glycanase (aPNGase) activity in crude plant extract
Authors: Uemura Ryota , Ogura Mikako , Matsumaru Chihiro , Akiyama Tsuyoshi , Maeda Megumi , Kimura Yoshinobu 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Acidic peptide:N-glycanase (aPNGase) plays a pivotal role in plant glycoprotein turnover. For the construction of aPNGase-knockout or -overexpressing plants, a new method to detect the activity in crude plant extracts is required because endogenous peptidases present in the extract hamper enzyme assays using fluorescence-labeled N-glycopeptides as a substrate. In this study, we developed a new method for measuring aPNGase activity in crude extracts from plant materials.
Through the haze: a non-convex approach to blind gain calibration for linear random sensing models
Authors: Cambareri Valerio , Jacques Laurent 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Computational sensing strategies often suffer from calibration errors in the physical implementation of their ideal sensing models. Such uncertainties are typically addressed by using multiple, accurately chosen training signals to recover the missing information on the sensing model, an approach that can be resource-consuming and cumbersome. Conversely, blind calibration does not employ any training signal, but corresponds to a bilinear inverse problem whose algorithmic solution is an open issue. We here address blind calibration as a non-convex problem for linear random sensing models, in which we aim to recover an unknown signal from its projections on sub-Gaussian random vectors, each subject to an unknown positive multiplicative factor (or gain). To solve this optimization problem we resort to projected gradient descent starting from a suitable, carefully chosen initialization point. An analysis of this algorithm allows us to show that it converges to the exact solution provided a sample complexity requirement is met, i.e., relating convergence to the amount of information collected during the sensing process. Interestingly, we show that this requirement grows linearly (up to log factors) in the number of unknowns of the problem. This sample complexity is found both in absence of prior information, as well as when subspace priors are available for both the signal and gains, allowing a further reduction of the number of observations required for our recovery guarantees to hold. Moreover, in the presence of noise we show how our descent algorithm yields a solution whose accuracy degrades gracefully with the amount of noise affecting the measurements. Finally, we present some numerical experiments in an imaging context, where our algorithm allows for a simple solution to blind calibration of the gains in a sensor array.
Off-diagonal Asymptotic Properties of Bergman Kernels Associated to Analytic Kähler Potentials
Authors: Hezari Hamid , Lu Zhiqin , Xu Hang 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
We prove a new off-diagonal asymptotic of the Bergman kernels associated to tensor powers of a positive line bundle on a compact Kähler manifold. We show that if the Kähler potential is real analytic, then the Bergman kernel accepts a complete asymptotic expansion in a neighborhood of the diagonal of shrinking size $k^{-\frac 14}$. These improve the earlier results in the subject for smooth potentials, where an expansion exists in a $k^{-\frac 12}$ neighborhood of the diagonal. We obtain our results by finding upper bounds of the form $C^m m!^{2}$ for the Bergman coefficients $b_m(x, \bar y)$, which is an interesting problem on its own. We find such upper bounds using the method of [3]. We also show that sharpening these upper bounds would improve the rate of shrinking neighborhoods of the diagonal x = y in our results. In the special case of metrics with local constant holomorphic sectional curvatures, we obtain off-diagonal asymptotic in a fixed (as $k \to \infty$) neighborhood of the diagonal, which recovers a result of Berman [2] (see Remark 3.5 of [2] for higher dimensions). In this case, we also find an explicit formula for the Bergman kernel mod $O(e^{-k \delta } )$.
Development of mirror coatings for gravitational-wave detectors
Authors: Steinlechner J. 
Published: April 2018

Gravitational waves are detected by measuring length changes between mirrors in the arms of kilometre-long Michelson interferometers. Brownian thermal noise arising from thermal vibrations of the mirrors can limit the sensitivity to distance changes between the mirrors, and, therefore, the ability to measure gravitational-wave signals. Thermal noise arising from the highly reflective mirror coatings will limit the sensitivity both of current detectors (when they reach design performance) and of planned future detectors. Therefore, the development of coatings with low thermal noise, which at the same time meet strict optical requirements, is of great importance. This article gives an overview of the current status of coatings and of the different approaches for coating improvement.
This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘The promises of gravitational-wave astronomy’.
