Does French have verbal-nexus Noun+Noun compounds?
Authors: Radimský Jan 
Published: January 2019

AbstractThough components of subordinate NN compounds may in principle display a wide variety of semantic relationships, data from Romance suggest that in languages where the NN pattern is still new and peripheral, the different subtypes of NN compounds do not necessarily emerge at the same rhythm. The aim of this article is to verify the assumption that French, unlike Italian, does not have an available word-formation pattern of verbal-nexus NN compounds (i.e. compounds in which the verb-argument relationship is featured). With reference to extensive corpus data, it will be demonstrated that in both languages many different subtypes of verbal-nexus NN compounds are attested, but Italian has already developed a consistent and regular word-formation paradigm based on one particular subtype of verbal-nexus NN compounds, while French data do not display such regularity, and the verbal-nexus pattern is much more peripheral in this language.
Word frequency counts
Authors: Brzoza Bartosz 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Lexical frequency is one of the major variables involved in language processing. It constitutes a cornerstone of
psycholinguistic, corpus linguistic as well as applied research. Linguists take frequency counts from corpora and they started to
take them for granted. However, voices emerge that corpora may not always provide a comprehensive picture of how frequently
lexical items appear in a language. In the present contribution I compare corpus frequency counts for English and Polish words to
native speakers’ perception of frequency. The analysis shows that, while generally objective and subjective values are related,
there is a disparity between measures for frequent Polish words. The direction of the relationship, though positive, is also not
as strong as in previous studies. I suggest linking objective with subjective frequency measures in research.
A corpus-based study of the automatic extraction and validation ofV-NItalian oral academic collocations
Authors: Peppoloni Diana 
Published: January 2019

AbstractThis study describes the outcomes of a POS-based method for the automatic extraction ofV-NItalian oral academic collocations from an annotated corpus. A frequency statistical measure is applied to automatically extract the collocations from the POS-tagged corpus. The results reveal that frequency alone is not sufficient to measure the degree of association that connects the two elements of a word pair. In order to detect the real-attested Italian collocations, the data has been further evaluated by 50 Italian native speakers. The results indicate that these combinations are tightly linked to their context of usage. Thus, native speakers should be exposed to these phrasal contexts to activate their mechanisms of explicit reflection and assess the degree of collocativity of these combinations.

Background Psychiatric comorbidity is common among patients with alcohol and other drug (AOD) use disorders. To better understand how psychiatric comorbidity influences AOD treatment access in health care systems, the present study examined treatment initiation and engagement among a large, diverse sample of patients with comorbid psychiatric and AOD use disorders. Methods This study utilized data from a multisite observational study examining Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) measures of initiation and engagement in treatment (IET) among patients with AOD use disorders from 7 health care systems. Participants were aged 18 or older with at least 1 AOD index diagnosis between October 1, 2014, and August 15, 2015. Data elements extracted from electronic health records and insurance claims data included patient demographic characteristics, ICD-9 (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision) diagnostic codes, and procedure codes. Descriptive analyses and multivariate logistic regression models were used to examine the relationship between patient-level factors and IET measures. Results Across health care systems, out of a total of 86,565 patients who had at least 1 AOD index diagnosis during the study period, 66.2% ( n = 57,335) patients also had a comorbid psychiatric disorder. Among patients with a comorbid psychiatric disorder, 34.9% ( n = 19,998) initiated AOD treatment, and of those, 10.3% ( n = 2,060) engaged in treatment. After adjusting for age, sex, and race/ethnicity, patients with comorbid psychiatric disorders were more likely to initiate (odds ratio [OR] = 3.20, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.08, 3.32) but no more likely to engage (OR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.51, 0.61) in AOD treatment, compared with those without a comorbid psychiatric disorder. Conclusions Findings suggest that identification of comorbid psychiatric disorders may increase initiation in AOD treatment. However, innovative efforts are needed to enhance treatment engagement both generally and especially for individuals without diagnosed psychiatric conditions.
Multimodal Chronotopes: Embodying Ancestral Time on Quichua Morning Radio
Authors: Ennis Georgia 
Published: January 2019

AbstractThis article considers the multimodal enregisterment of an ancestral time-space in indigenous-language media production. Beginning from the insight that chronotopes engage semiotically mediated, subjective experiences of time, space, and social personhood (Wirtz 2016; Hartikainen 2017), I use ethnographic evidence from lowland Ecuadorian Quichua (Kichwa) radio production and reception to explore the semiotic recalibration of the wayusa upina, the guayusa-drinking hours as a register of media performance aimed at cultural revival. Identified as one of the most significant and endangered spaces for transmitting cultural and linguistic knowledge, the nondiscursive signs and material practices used in multimodal lowland Quichua radio productions reconstitute the ancestral guayusa-drinking hours, indexically linking it to the voices and knowledge of still living elders. In doing so, these programs attempt to establish a counterchronotope of remembering, which contrasts with a widely circulating chronotope of endangerment.
Decolonial Time in Bolivia’s Pachakuti
Authors: Swinehart Karl 
Published: January 2019

AbstractDebates about cultural practices in Bolivia have increasingly unfolded around questions of which practices are deemed essentially indigenous or essentially Western and demands for decolonization, or the reestablishment of indigenous cultural hegemony. This article examines cases in which the construal of time (through calendars, clocks, and notions of the past and future) is depicted as being either essentially Andean or a colonial import and, thus, a target for reform. Advancing competing construals of time has become a feature of such contemporary state-led political interventions as reorienting clock faces on public buildings; reconciling the Gregorian calendar with an agricultural, Aymara one; replacing Spanish loanwords for the days of the week with neologisms; and framing the launching of a telecommunications satellite as the reconstitution of pre-Hispanic astronomical science. These debates draw on a salient difference in the space-time semantics of Andean languages. Aymara and Quechua are typologically unusual for linking front space with past time and anterior space with the futurity and for sharing a unified concept of “space-time,” or pacha, a term that has become popularized through the widespread use of pachakuti ‘the turning over of space-time’, to refer to what, in other contexts, might be called revolution.
When Time Matters
Authors: Swinehart Karl , Browne Ribeiro Anna 
Published: January 2019

AbstractThis essay introduces a collection of five research articles that address how time becomes materialized, regimented, politicized, and phenomenologically experienced in diverse ethnographic settings. Against notions of time’s uniformity, we explore considerations of its relational nature in physics, linguistics, and anthropology. Temporal frameworks are not given but created, not unitary but multiple, and operate in degrees of lamination, synchrony, or dissonance. In colonial Papua New Guinea, the Ecuadorian and Brazilian Amazon, highland Bolivia, and South Korea, temporal frameworks serve as anchors to diverse social and political projects. These ethnographic accounts illuminate the dynamic and consequential nature of temporal semiosis.

AbstractBackgroundThe efficacy of albendazole therapy in patients with parenchymal neurocysticercosis (NCC) is suboptimal. Plasma levels of albendazole sulfoxide (ASOX), the active metabolite of albendazole, are highly variable among patients. We hypothesized that high ASOX plasma levels during albendazole therapy may be associated with an increased antiparasitic efficacy.MethodsASOX plasma levels were measured at treatment day 7 in 118 patients with parenchymal NCC enrolled in a treatment trial. The relationships between increasing ASOX plasma levels with the proportion of cysts resolved and the proportion of patients with complete cyst resolution (evaluated by 6-month brain magnetic resonance) were assessed.ResultsThere was a trend toward a higher proportion of cysts resolved and a higher proportion of patients cured with increasing quartiles of ASOX plasma levels. In patients with 3 or more brain cysts, the regression analysis adjusted by the concomitant administration of praziquantel (PZQ) showed a 2-fold increase in the proportion of cysts resolved (risk ratio [RR], 1.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01–3.89; P = .048) and 2.5-fold increase in the proportion of patients cured (RR, 2.45; 95% CI, .94–6.36; P = .067) when ASOX levels in the highest vs the lowest quartile were compared. No association was found in patients with 1–2 brain cysts.ConclusionsWe suggest an association between high ASOX plasma levels and increased antiparasitic efficacy in patients with parenchymal NCC. Nonetheless, this association is also influenced by other factors including parasite burden and concomitant administration of PZQ. These findings may serve to individualize and/or adjust therapy schemes to avoid treatment failure.
Push and pull factors driving movement in a social mammal: context dependent behavioral plasticity at the landscape scale

Published: January 2019

AbstractUnderstanding how key parameters (e.g., density, range-size, and configuration) can affect animal movement remains a major goal of population ecology. This is particularly important for wildlife disease hosts, such as the European badger Meles meles, a reservoir of Mycobacterium bovis. Here we show how movements of 463 individuals among 223 inferred group territories across 755 km2 in Ireland were affected by sex, age, past-movement history, group composition, and group size index from 2009 to 2012. Females exhibited a greater probability of moving into groups with a male-biased composition, but male movements into groups were not associated with group composition. Male badgers were, however, more likely to make visits into territories than females. Animals that had immigrated into a territory previously were more likely to emigrate in the future. Animals exhibiting such “itinerant” movement patterns were more likely to belong to younger age classes. Inter-territorial movement propensity was negatively associated with group size, indicating that larger groups were more stable and less attractive (or permeable) to immigrants. Across the landscape, there was substantial variation in inferred territory-size and movement dynamics, which was related to group size. This represents behavioral plasticity previously only reported at the scale of the species’ biogeographical range. Our results highlight how a “one-size-fits-all” explanation of badger movement is likely to fail under varying ecological contexts and scales, with implications for bovine tuberculosis management.
Carbohydrate Monotony as Protection and Treatment for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Authors: Britto Savini , Kellermayer Richard 
Published: January 2019

AbstractThe nutritional developmental origins of inflammatory bowel disease[s] (IBDs: Crohn’s disease or Crohn disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC]) and their diet-based treatments continue to receive increasing attention. There is growing evidence for the success of nutrition-based treatments, such as exclusive enteral nutrition [EEN] and the specific carbohydrate diet [SCD], in both paediatric and adult patients. Beyond these two dietary interventions, symptomatic benefit in IBD has also been shown from a gluten-free diet [GFD] and paleolithic diet [PALEO], among others. These nutritional therapies may point to critical factors in not only the pathology, but also the pathogenesis of the disease group. It is difficult, however, to discern a common element within the large number of diet-based causation theories [e.g. emulsifiers, processed foods, refrigeration, increased total fat intake, low fibre intake, carbohydrate dominant food, etc.] and the varied dietary treatments of IBD. This Viewpoint article highlights that carbohydrate variation links diet-based causation theories, and that carbohydrate monotony or persistence is the commonly shared characteristic of diet-based IBD therapy. Further research directed towards carbohydrate monotony may critically advance the prevention and treatment of these highly morbid conditions.

Published: January 2019

Summary

Objectives
To evaluate facial attractiveness of treated cleft patients and controls by artificial intelligence (AI) and to compare these results with panel ratings performed by laypeople, orthodontists, and oral surgeons.

Materials and methods
Frontal and profile images of 20 treated left-sided cleft patients (10 males, mean age: 20.5 years) and 10 controls (5 males, mean age: 22.1 years) were evaluated for facial attractiveness with dedicated convolutional neural networks trained on >17 million ratings for attractiveness and compared to the assessments of 15 laypeople, 14 orthodontists, and 10 oral surgeons performed on a visual analogue scale (n = 2323 scorings).

Results
AI evaluation of cleft patients (mean score: 4.75 ± 1.27) was comparable to human ratings (laypeople: 4.24 ± 0.81, orthodontists: 4.82 ± 0.94, oral surgeons: 4.74 ± 0.83) and was not statistically different (all Ps ≥ 0.19). Facial attractiveness of controls was rated significantly higher by humans than AI (all Ps ≤ 0.02), which yielded lower scores than in cleft subjects. Variance was considerably large in all human rating groups when considering cases separately, and especially accentuated in the assessment of cleft patients (coefficient of variance—laypeople: 38.73 ± 9.64, orthodontists: 32.56 ± 8.21, oral surgeons: 42.19 ± 9.80).

Conclusions
AI-based results were comparable with the average scores of cleft patients seen in all three rating groups (with especially strong agreement to both professional panels) but overall lower for control cases. The variance observed in panel ratings revealed a large imprecision based on a problematic absence of unity.

Implication
Current panel-based evaluations of facial attractiveness suffer from dispersion-related issues and remain practically unavailable for patients. AI could become a helpful tool to describe facial attractiveness, but the present results indicate that important adjustments are needed on AI models, to improve the interpretation of the impact of cleft features on facial attractiveness.
Systematic Review: Cost-effective Strategies of Optimizing Anti-tumor Necrosis and Immunomodulators in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Authors: Vasudevan Abhinav , Gibson Peter R , Van Langenberg Daniel R 
Published: January 2019

Abstract

Background
Medication costs in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are now the principal driver of health care costs. Cost-effective strategies to optimize and rationalize treatment are therefore necessary.

Methods
A systematic review until April 30, 2018, was performed to identify economic evaluations of strategies to optimize infliximab, adalimumab, and immunomodulators for the treatment of IBD in adults. A qualitative synthesis of the identified studies was performed.

Results
Seventy articles were identified that met the inclusion criteria. Adalimumab seems cost-effective compared with infliximab as maintenance therapy for moderate to severe Crohn’s disease (CD). Infusion costs are a significant additional treatment cost with infliximab. However, other studies found biosimilar infliximab more cost-effective than alternative biologics in fistulizing and moderate-severe luminal CD—although the latter did not reach a willingness-to-pay threshold of <$50,000. In moderate-severe ulcerative colitis, infliximab seems more cost-effective than adalimumab. Multiple tailored approaches to treatment based on objective markers of disease activity or efficacy have been shown to be cost-effective in CD, including following secondary loss of response to anti-TNF therapy for postoperative recurrence and in escalating treatment. For immunomodulator treatment, both thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) testing before commencing thiopurines and thiopurine metabolite testing for dose optimization seem cost-effective.

Conclusion
In a win-win for patients and payers, several potential avenues to achieve cost-effectiveness—but also therapeutic optimization of anti-TNF therapies—were elucidated in this review with comparatively sparse data for immunomodulators. Optimizing immunomodulator and anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha therapy to achieve objective disease control seems to be cost-effective at conventional willingness-to-pay thresholds in a number of clinical settings.
Splitting schemes and unfitted-mesh methods for the coupling of an incompressible fluid with a thin-walled structure
Authors: Fernández Miguel A , Landajuela Mikel 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Two unfitted-mesh methods for a linear incompressible fluid/thin-walled structure interaction problem are introduced and analyzed. The spatial discretization is based on different variants of Nitsche’s method with cut elements. The degree of fluid–solid splitting (semi-implicit or explicit) is given by the order in which the space and time discretizations are performed. The a priori stability and error analysis shows that strong coupling is avoided without compromising stability and accuracy. Numerical experiments with a benchmark illustrate the accuracy of the different methods proposed.
Kin States in Sub-state Diplomacy Conflict Dynamics
Authors: Cantir Cristian 
Published: January 2019

AbstractHow and why do diplomatic activities by sub-state units produce conflict with the central government? To answer this question, scholars have focused on multinational states in which at least one administrative unit—Catalonia, for instance—has an identity that is different from the rest of the country. Such noncentral governments (NCGs), the argument goes, are more likely to engage in uncoordinated bypassing activities and in the international projection of their specific identity in a manner that antagonizes central decision makers. That is especially the case if local elites are dissatisfied with the amount of local autonomy and the institutional tools available for identity protection. This article uses insights from the ethnic conflict and nationalism literature to advance sub-state diplomacy scholarship by adding a transnational dimension to the analysis. Three illustrative case studies—France-Canada-Quebec, Austria-Italy–South Tyrol, and Sweden-Finland–the Åland Islands—reveal that kin states can play a variety of roles in the triangular relationship with the kin NCG and the host state and can either exacerbate or dampen conflictual paradiplomacy. More broadly, the article is an effort to conceptualize the role of sovereign states in sub-state diplomacy.
The Power of Policy to Promote Health and Well-Being
Authors: Baum Fran 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Governing for health involves designing, crafting, drafting, and implementing policies that will result in healthy, equitable, and sustainable societies in which well-being is enhanced. These policies need to be present in every sector. They need to both direct government actions toward well-being and provide a regulatory framework for the private sector. This chapter examines the role of values and ideologies in policy, including the extent to which agency or structure determines health, describes policy processes, and finally outlines the important meta-policy messages required for good governance for health and well-being. It presents the Mandela of health and discusses the Raworth doughnut model of economics as a useful tool to understand the values that should underline healthy public policy.
Political Dimensions of Governing for Health
Authors: Baum Fran 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Politicians are central to governing for health, and this chapter is directed at persuading them to do so. It includes a well-being manifesto and provides evidence to support the value of adopting this manifesto in terms of individual, population, and planetary well-being. Further evidence is provided in terms of how more equitable societies are also more successful, and how pursuing equity can create political capital. The power of the various lobby groups the politicians will encounter and the need to privilege public interests above private profit when assessing the messages from this lobbying are considered. Concomitant to this is the importance of listening to public interest advocates. Civil society advocacy is vital to winning a constituency for the well-being manifesto. The chapter argues the need for global political governance in the face of waning power for nation-states and increasing power for transnational corporations.
