AbstractAn enlarged bone tunnel may affect the graft–bone integration and pose a problem for revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of remnant preservation on tibial tunnel enlargement in ACL reconstruction with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) artificial ligament. Twenty-four skeletally mature male beagles underwent ACL reconstruction with PET artificial ligament for both knees. One knee was reconstructed with remnant preservation using sleeve technique (remnant group), while the contralateral was reconstructed without remnant preservation (control group). The animals were sacrificed at 1 day, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks after surgery for further evaluation including macroscopic observation, microcomputed tomography (micro-CT), histological assessment, and biomechanical testing. The remnant group had better synovial coverage than the control group at 6 and 12 weeks after surgery. The micro-CT analysis showed the tibial tunnel area (TTA) of the remnant group was significantly smaller and the bone volume/total volume fraction (BV/TV) value was higher than those of the control group at 6 and 12 weeks. Moreover, TTA and BV/TV at each time point were divided into three groups according to the different grade of synovial coverage. Significant association was observed between the synovial coverage degree and the TTA and BV/TV values. The histological assessment revealed that the interface width between the graft and host bone in the remnant group was smaller than that in the control group in the tibial tunnels at 6 and 12 weeks. Moreover, the remnant group had better failure load and stiffness than the control group at 12 weeks. The remnant preservation using sleeve technique could effectively promote the synovial coverage of the graft, decrease the risk of tibial tunnel enlargement by sealing the bone tunnel entrance, and enhance the biological environment for graft–bone healing after ACL reconstruction using PET artificial ligament. This technique provides a potential solution for bone tunnel enlargement following artificial ligament surgery for the acute ACL rupture in the clinical practice.

Published: November 2018

Objective Women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are at a greater risk of preterm delivery, many of which may be medically indicated (iatrogenic). We investigated preterm delivery phenotypes in SLE and general population comparators and assessed the role of preeclampsia.
Study Design We used population-based Swedish Register data (2001–2013) and defined maternal SLE as ≥2 SLE-coded discharge diagnoses from the Patient Register with ≥1 coded by an appropriate specialist. Women from the general population were identified using the Total Population Register. Preterm delivery was defined as <37 weeks and separated into spontaneous and iatrogenic, as well as later versus extremely preterm (32 to <37 weeks vs. <32 weeks). Maternal comorbidity was assessed, and the proportion mediated by preeclampsia was calculated examining first, subsequent, and all pregnancies.
Results Preterm delivery was more common in SLE for the first (22 vs. 6%) and subsequent (15 vs. 4%) pregnancies among 781 SLE-exposed pregnancies and 11,271 non-SLE pregnancies. Of SLE-exposed first births, 27% delivered before 32 weeks, and 90% were iatrogenic (compared with 47% of non-SLE first births).
Conclusion Preterm delivery complicates a greater proportion of SLE pregnancies than general population pregnancies, and a considerable proportion of risk is mediated through preeclampsia.
Contrasting elegant variation in English- and Spanish-language dailies and novels
Authors: Sorenson Travis 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Anyone who learns a second language realizes that beyond phonology, morphology, syntax, and lexicon, there are variations of style between different tongues. One notable manifestation is word choice, particularly in writing. Writers may repeat vocabulary for efficiency and clarity, or they may choose synonyms to promote variety and creativity. When the latter practice is carried to extremes, it is known as elegant variation and is largely stigmatized in English, whereas such flexibility is widely valued among writers of Romance languages such as Spanish. While this phenomenon has been noted anecdotally, the present study explores it empirically. The main focus is journalistic prose in two U.S. and two Mexican newspapers, followed by a briefer examination of English and Spanish literature. Although elegant variation occurs in various word classes, this study centers on specific nouns and verbs. While the results demonstrating the vast difference between English and Spanish are interesting in their own right, there follows a discussion of their practical impact on translation, including the preservation of idiomaticity. This is especially relevant in light of the vastly improved capabilities of Google Translate, a development that calls for a reevaluation of the role of both humans and machines in the translation process.

Intimacy matters
Authors: Kaiser Heather R. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThis chapter analyzes conflict discourse between domestic partners/couples. The interactions, recorded in Rosario, Uruguay, were part of a larger study on the refusal behavior of Uruguayan women in various spheres of life (domains). From this corpus, 41 refusal sequences were extracted in which a female participant rejected or refused her male partner in some respect (e.g. request, offer, suggestion). Refusal sequences found in couples talk positively correlated with aggravating moves and the use of upgraders, and negatively with mitigating moves and the use of downgraders. These results are discussed in terms ofWolfson’s (1988)Bulge theory of social distance.
A formalist perspective on language acquisition
Authors: Yang Charles 
Published: November 2018

AbstractLanguage acquisition is a computational process by which linguistic experience is integrated into the learner’s initial stage of knowledge. To understand language acquisition thus requires precise statements about these components and their interplay, stepping beyond the philosophical and methodological disputes such as the generative vs. usage-based approaches. I review several mathematical models that have guided the study of child language acquisition: How learners integrate experience with their prior knowledge of linguistic structures, How researchers assess the progress of language acquisition with rigor and clarity, and How children form the rules of language even in the face of exceptions. I also suggest that these models are applicable to second language acquisition (L2), yielding potentially important insights on the continuities and differences between child and adult language.
Cosmopolitan English, traditional Japanese
Authors: Baudinette Thomas 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
The Linguistic Landscape of Tokyo’s premier gay district, Shinjuku Ni-chōme, contains much English-language signage. Previously
described in touristic literature as marking out spaces for foreign gay men, this article draws upon an ethnographic study of how
signage produces queer space in Japan to argue that English instead constructs a sense of cosmopolitan worldliness. The
ethnography also reveals that participants within Ni-chōme’s gay bar sub-culture contrast this cosmopolitan identity with a
“traditional” identity indexed by Japanese-language signage. In exploring how Japanese men navigate Ni-chōme’s signage, this
article deploys Piller and Takahashi’s (2006) notion of “language desire” to
investigate the role of LL in influencing individual queer men’s sense(s) of self. This article thus broadens the focus of LL
research to account for how engagement with an LL may impact identity construction, with an emphasis placed on how learning to
“read” an LL influences the formation of sexual identities.
Tel Aviv as a space of affirmation versus transformation
Authors: Milani Tommaso M. , Levon Erez , Gafter Roey J. , Or Iair G. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractIn this article we investigate the spatial politics of sexuality in Israel by focusing on two different but related data sets: (1) the official video for Tel Aviv Pride 2013 produced by the Mizrahi Jewish music groupArisa; and (2) a protest against the Occupation of Palestine performed at Tel Aviv Pride in 2017. We analyze these examples with the help of a theoretical framework that offers a dynamic conceptualization of citizenship and its semiotic manifestations, drawing onFraser’s (1995)distinction between affirmative and transformative strategies of social justice. In line with the remit of this special issue, we highlight the importance of taking sexuality as an entry point for Linguistic Landscape analysis. More specifically, we argue that a focus on sexuality in space opens up a window into theaffective, intimateandembodieddimensions of politics.
Estrategias de intensificación en los comentarios digitales sobre noticias en español
Authors: Muñoz Patricio Moya , Carrió-Pastor María Luisa 
Published: November 2018

AbstractoEl objetivo de este estudio es identificar la variación cuando se utilizan mecanismos de intensificación en los comentarios en español sobre las noticias digitales que publican dos periódicos:El País(España) yEmol(Chile), y en dos ámbitos temáticos diferentes: la política y los deportes. Para lograr este objetivo, se analizó un corpus compuesto de 2,400 comentarios con la herramienta para el análisis de corpusUAM Corpus Tool. Los resultados obtenidos señalan que, por un lado, los comentarios de los escritores españoles correspondientes al diarioEl Paíspresentan una mayor cantidad de intensificadores que aquellos escritos enEmol. Por otro lado, se detectó que el ámbito temático no influye de forma determinante en la frecuencia de los intensificadores en ambos sub-corpus. Por último, se distingue la presencia de estrategias relacionadas con el español coloquial conversacional como, por ejemplo, la personalización medianteyoytú.
Alternancia entre el futuro morfológico y el futuro perifrástico en las interpelaciones urgentes del Parlamento
español
Authors: Troya Déniz Magnolia 
Published: November 2018

Abstracto
En este artículo analizamos la alternancia entre el futuro morfológico (iré) y el futuro perifrástico (voy
a ir) en las interpelaciones urgentes del Parlamento español. Las investigaciones que examinan la variación de estas
formas para expresar posterioridad constatan que en el español hablado predomina la forma analítica, mientras que en la lengua
escrita es más frecuente el futuro sintético. La interpelación conforma un género discursivo que se materializa oralmente en una
situación comunicativa formal después de haber sido sometida a un proceso de elaboración. Los resultados del presente estudio
revelan que en términos generales el futuro perifrástico es la forma con mayor índice de frecuencia en las interpelaciones. No
obstante, del análisis estadístico que hemos realizado se desprende que también hay factores que favorecen de manera significativa
la aparición del futuro morfológico. Asimismo, los datos indican que la variación entre las formas de futuro se explica
fundamentalmente por condicionantes lingüísticos.
Sobre la naturaleza de los corpus y la comparabilidad de resultados en lingüística histórica
Authors: Enghels Renata , Azofra Sierra María Elena 
Published: November 2018

AbstractoEste artículo contribuye a la discusión sobre el valor de los datos empíricos en el campo de la lingüística histórica. En la literatura se han discutido ampliamente los problemas metodológicos derivados del hecho de que los análisis diacrónicos estén basados casi exclusivamente en fuentes escritas. Este problema general de la representatividad de los datos se acentúa cuando se aborda el estudio histórico de fenómenos típicos de la oralidad, como son los marcadores pragmáticos. Sin embargo, a pesar de los argumentos empleados tanto a favor del uso de fuentes escritas como en su contra, este problema metodológico no ha sido objeto aún de una verificación empírica consistente en español. Este estudio supone un primer paso para cubrir esta laguna, para lo cual se comparan los resultados de un análisis diacrónico reciente del marcador pragmáticosabesen un corpus escrito literario y en un corpus de español hablado.
Building controlled bilingual terminologies for the municipal domain and evaluating them using a coverage estimation
approach
Authors: Miyata Rei , Kageura Kyo 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This article examines the status of constructed controlled terminologies from the perspective of the coverage of terms/concepts. To
facilitate controlled authoring of Japanese texts of the municipal domain and promote machine translatability into English, we
constructed terminologies in the following way: (1) Japanese-English term pairs are extracted from aligned texts; (2) term
variations are controlled by defining preferred and proscribed terms for both languages. To assess the coverage of the constructed
terminologies, we propose a quantitative extrapolation method that estimates the potential vocabulary size. The coverage
estimations show that the coverage of terms for Japanese is higher than that for English by about 10%, which
reflects the greater diversity of the translated English terms. The coverage of concepts reaches around 60% for
both Japanese and English. The method also enables us to quantitatively estimate how much effort is needed to further increase the
coverage.
English translation of long Traditional Chinese Medicine terms
Authors: Chen Yaru , Chen Wei 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Apart from the importance of accurate meaning transference, the key to English translation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
terms lies in the proper translation of term forms, in particular, of long term structures and length. This article reports on an
empirical study of the English translation of long TCM terms by the following procedures: (1) collecting 1220 TCM terms and their
English translations from dictionaries, journals and official websites related to TCM terminology translation; (2) segmenting and
POS-tagging with ICTCLAS to obtain 823 long TCM terms with 3 or more Chinese words; (3) selecting 150 out of the 823 long TCM
terms through random sampling; (4) POS-tagging the 150 English translations with CLAWS5; (5) basing on the parallel corpus and
systematically discussing the structures, term length change, translation techniques and translation regularities generalized from
the English translation of long TCM terms. The result shows nominalization, shift of some pre-modifiers into post-modifiers, and
amplification of a predicate in the 9 kinds of structural features, and some translation techniques like literal translation,
paraphrase, adaptation, amplification and simplification employed in the English translation of long TCM terms.
Microstructure evolution during thermomechanical processing in 3Mn-0.1C medium-Mn steel
Authors: Hou Feifei , Bai Yu , Shibata Akinobu , Tsuji Nobuhiro 
Published: November 2018

Medium-Mn steels are energetically investigated as a candidate of the third generation advanced high strength steels (AHSSs). However, their phase transformation and microstructaure evolution during various heat treatments and thermomechanical processing are still unclear. The present study first confirmed the kinetics of static phase transformation behaviour in a 3Mn-0.1C medium-Mn steel. Hot compression tests were also carried out to investigate the influence of high-temperature deformation of austenite on subsequent microstructure evolution. It was found that static ferrite transformation was quite slow in this steel, but ferrite transformation was greatly accelerated by the hot deformation in austenite and ferrite two-phase regions. Characteristic dual-phase microstructures composed of martensite and fine-grained ferrite were obtained, which exhibited superior mechanical properties. This paper is part of a Thematic Issue on Medium Manganese Steels.

Published: November 2018

AbstractObjectiveAutomated understanding of consumer health inquiries might be hindered by misspellings. To detect and correct various types of spelling errors in consumer health questions, we developed a distributable spell-checking tool, CSpell, that handles nonword errors, real-word errors, word boundary infractions, punctuation errors, and combinations of the above.MethodsWe developed a novel approach of using dual embedding within Word2vec for context-dependent corrections. This technique was used in combination with dictionary-based corrections in a 2-stage ranking system. We also developed various splitters and handlers to correct word boundary infractions. All correction approaches are integrated to handle errors in consumer health questions.ResultsOur approach achieves an F1 score of 80.93% and 69.17% for spelling error detection and correction, respectively.DiscussionThe dual-embedding model shows a significant improvement (9.13%) in F1 score compared with the general practice of using cosine similarity with word vectors in Word2vec for context ranking. Our 2-stage ranking system shows a 4.94% improvement in F1 score compared with the best 1-stage ranking system.ConclusionCSpell improves over the state of the art and provides near real-time automatic misspelling detection and correction in consumer health questions. The software and the CSpell test set are available at https://umlslex.nlm.nih.gov/cSpell.
Monetary policy regimes and growth revisited: evidence from a de facto classification
Authors: Wong Kin-Ming , Chong Terence Tai-Leung 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Pioneered by New Zealand in 1990, a growing number of countries have adopted the practice of inflation targeting, the international experience of which has been reported as satisfactory. However, existing empirical evidence fails to support inflation targeting as having a positive growth effect. To provide further evidence, this study adopts a new classification system for monetary policy regimes that allows the empirical estimation of the effect of inflation targeting on economic growth in comparison with its main alternative, exchange rate targeting. Our study, which covers more than 100 countries for the 35 years from 1974 to 2009, presents robust evidence that inflation targeting promotes economic growth.

Published: November 2018

Abstract

Background
Sepsis is considered a leading cause of preventable death, but the actual burden of sepsis mortality is difficult to measure using administrative data or death certificates. We analyzed the prevalence, underlying causes, and preventability of deaths due to sepsis in acute care hospitals using detailed medical record reviews.

Methods
We randomly selected 577 adult patients who died in-hospital or were discharged to hospice in 2014–2015 at 6 US academic and community hospitals for medical record review. Cases were reviewed by experienced clinicians for sepsis during hospitalization (using Sepsis-3 criteria), terminal conditions on admission (defined using hospice-qualifying criteria), immediate and underlying causes of death, and suboptimal sepsis care (delays in antibiotics, inappropriate antibiotic therapy, inadequate source control, or other medical errors). The overall preventability of death was rated on a 6-point Likert scale (from definitely not preventable to definitely preventable) taking into account comorbidities, severity of illness, and quality of care.

Results
Sepsis was present in 302/577 (52%) hospitalizations ending in death or discharge to hospice and was the immediate cause of death in 199 cases (35%) (Figure 1A). Underlying causes of death in sepsis patients included solid cancer (21%) and chronic heart disease (15%), and hematologic cancer (10%) (Figure 1B). The median age of sepsis patients who died was 73 (IQR 62–84). Terminal conditions were present in 122/302 (40%) sepsis deaths, most commonly end-stage cancer (26% of cases). Suboptimal care was identified in 68 (23%) of sepsis deaths, most commonly delays in antibiotics (11% of cases). However, only 4% of sepsis deaths were definitely or likely preventable and an additional 8% were considered possibly preventable with optimal clinical care (Figures 2 and 3).

Conclusion
Our findings affirm that sepsis is the most common cause of death in hospitalized patients. Most patients that died with sepsis were elderly with severe comorbidities, but up to 1 in 8 sepsis deaths were felt to be potentially preventable with better hospital-based care. These findings may inform resource allocation and expectations surrounding the impact of hospital-based sepsis treatment initiatives.
