Authors: Sarmiento L. F. , Reiners A. , Huke P. , Bauer F. F. , Guenter E. W. , Seemann U. , Wolter U. 
Published: June 2018

Context. Thorium hollow cathode lamps (HCLs) are used as frequency calibrators for many high resolution astronomical spectrographs, some of which aim for Doppler precision at the 1 m s−1 level.
Aims. We aim to determine the most suitable combination of elements (Th or U, Ar or Ne) for wavelength calibration of astronomical spectrographs, to characterize differences between similar HCLs, and to provide a new U line list.
Methods. We record high resolution spectra of different HCLs using a Fourier transform spectrograph: (i) U–Ne, U–Ar, Th–Ne, and Th–Ar lamps in the spectral range from 500 to 1000 nm and U–Ne and U–Ar from 1000 to 1700 nm; (ii) we systematically compare the number of emission lines and the line intensity ratio for a set of 12 U–Ne HCLs; and (iii) we record a master spectrum of U–Ne to create a new U line list.
Results. Uranium lamps show more lines suitable for calibration than Th lamps from 500 to 1000 nm. The filling gas of the lamps significantly affects their performance because Ar and Ne lines contaminate different spectral regions. We find differences (up to 88%) in the line intensity of U lines in different lamps from the same batch. We find 8239 isolated lines between 500 and 1700 nm that we attribute to U, 3379 of which were not contained in earlier line lists.
Conclusions. We suggest using a combination of U–Ne and U–Ar lamps to wavelength-calibrate astronomical spectrographs up to 1 μm. From 1 to 1.7 μm, U–Ne shows better properties. The differences in line strength between different HCLs underline the importance of characterizing HCLs in the laboratory. The new 3379 U lines can significantly improve the radial velocity precision of astronomical spectrographs.
The Korean writing system, Hangul, and word processing
Authors: Pae Hye K. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This chapter reviews the development of the Korean script, Hangul, from its birth to linguistic and psycholinguistic implications for word reading. It first discusses the language family and the structure of the Korean oral language. Given that the emergence of the script is unlike most scripts or writing systems, it next overviews the invention background of Hangul. The script encompasses the characteristics of phonemic, syllabic, and alphasyllabic writing systems by means of the systematic union of consonants and vowels as well as the regular phoneme-grapheme correspondence. As these characteristics result in significant consequences in processing texts, the structure of Hangul is surveyed from linguistic aspects, while its orthography is reviewed from psycholinguistic aspects. The chapter ends with a call for moving from the accumulation of empirical evidence to the phase of building theoretical models.
Crosslinguistic influences of script format
Authors: Pae Hye K. , Kim Sun-A , Mano Quintino R. , Wang Min 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This study investigated cross-linguistic influences of the Korean script’s syllabic format on L2 English word reading. A total of 103 college students participated in two naming experiments in Korea and the U.S. Experiment 1 used Korean graphemes presented in both block (i.e., Hangul printing convention) and left-to-right linear (i.e., English printing convention) formats. Results from Experiment 1 showed that Korean participants were significantly faster in reading Korean graphemes presented in the block format than in the linear format. Experiment 2 utilized English words that appeared to participants as having random spaces but in fact the spaces corresponded to Korean syllabic boundaries (e.g., un der s tan d, 언더스탠드). Results from Experiment 2 revealed that native Korean readers did not show a significant interference effect in reading L2 words that were derived from L1 syllabic boundaries. Findings are interpreted within the context of the Syllabic Autonomy Saliency Hypothesis for Hangul.
Neural mechanisms of reading in Korean L1 and related L2 reading
Authors: Kim Say Young , Wang Min 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Korean has a unique status compared to other alphabetic orthographies in terms of its phonology-orthography mapping and visual-orthographic configuration. In this chapter we reviewed recent literature on the neural bases of reading in Korean L1 to understand whether and how the characteristics of Korean orthography are reflected in the brain network. We then reviewed recent neuroimaging literature concerning the L1 effect on L2 reading with Korean L1. Evidence suggests that when reading English L2, native Korean readers engage the brain network similar to the Korean L1 network (i.e., assimilation). In contrast, when reading Chinese L2, the brain network involved is significantly different from the Korean L1 network (i.e., accommodation). The L2 brain network seems to be shaped by L1 experience. The chapter concluded with a discussion of future research directions.
Syntactic outcomes of contact in Sason Arabic
Authors: Akkuș Faruk , Benmamoun Elabbas 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
In this paper, we discuss a number of morphosyntactic properties of Sason Arabic, which could be strongly argued to be due to
contact with the neighboring languages, some of which have head-final properties. We argue that Sason Arabic patterns with
both its Arabic neighbors and the typologically different surrounding, and sociolinguistically dominant languages,
particularly Kurdish and Turkish. We aim to show that syntactic constructions in contact contexts can provide important
insights into the nature of the contact and the history of the language and its speakers.
Arabic and Berber in contact
Authors: Caubet Dominique 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Near the Berber-speaking town of Al Hoceima, there are a few hamlets and villages where people speak Arabic and find themselves
in a situation where Berber is the dominant language. These dialects of Moroccan Arabic have seldom been described. What is
taking place on the border between Berber and Arabic in this region? What types of contact? What influences? We visited one
village on the Berber speaking side (Taounil) and one hamlet on the Arabic-speaking side. Our fieldwork was tentative
transdisciplinary work by linguists and ethnobotanists, which allowed us to collect very spontaneous data, since the stress
was put on the ethnobotanic questioning. We present here our results, analysing the specific traits of these dialects.
Temporal adverbs of contrast in the Basic Variety of Arabic
Authors: Versteegh Kees 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This paper applies the model of the Basic Variety developed by Klein & Perdue
(1997) and elaborated by Benazzo (2003) to two basic forms of
communication in Arabic, Pidgin Madame and Gulf Pidgin Arabic. Benazzo’s analysis of the development of temporal adverbs of
contrast (resultative already; continuative still) in the Basic
Variety of German, French and English leads to certain predictions about the sequentiality of their acquisition. In the Basic
Variety of Arabic the acquisition of these adverbs develops in a different manner. Although their source language does not
contain a resultative adverb, both varieties feature such an adverb (kalas). This contradicts
Benazzo’s findings, as does the relatively frequent use of a continuative particle (bād) at a
very early stage.
Mountains do not meet, but men do
Authors: Nakao Shuichiro 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Linguists have long assumed that Juba Arabic and Nubi, the two Arabic creoles spoken in East Africa, have been cut off from
each other since their “linguistic divergence” in the 1880s. This historical interpretation, however, overlooks sociocultural
(including linguistic) interactions between the Nubi-speaking communities of Uganda and Kenya and a minor Juba Arabic-speaking
community in South Sudan called Malakiyyans since the 1880s down to the present day. This paper aims at exploring their
history and the way in which they have interacted with each other to redefine their identity, focusing on the musical
tradition called dolúka and dirêr.
Determiner phrase
Authors: Ziamari Karima 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Nominal insertions in Moroccan Arabic-French codeswitching are very common. They typically appear as French maximal projections
embedded in a larger constituent headed by the Arabic determiners wāḥəd and hād. However, the reasons behind the insertion of determiners have not been clarified. This study, which relies
on the Matrix Language Frame model (Myers-Scotton 1993), seeks to elucidate the
factors inducing the insertion of determiners in the morphosyntactic and semantic frame of Moroccan Arabic. Analyzing eleven
hours of recorded data, we will show that on the morphosyntactic level, the mismatch between Moroccan Arabic and French
definiteness, gender and number may explain the frequency of such insertions. Though, morphosyntactic structure is not the
only factor at play in contexts where determination is complex in both languages, and we thus need to take into account other
domains such as the semantic, pragmatic and enunciative ones.
Arabidopsis phenotyping through geometric morphometrics
Authors: Manacorda Carlos A , Asurmendi Sebastian 
Published: June 2018

Abstract

Background
Recently, great technical progress has been achieved in the field of plant phenotyping. High-throughput platforms and the development of improved algorithms for rosette image segmentation make it possible to extract shape and size parameters for genetic, physiological, and environmental studies on a large scale. The development of low-cost phenotyping platforms and freeware resources make it possible to widely expand phenotypic analysis tools for Arabidopsis. However, objective descriptors of shape parameters that could be used independently of the platform and segmentation software used are still lacking, and shape descriptions still rely on ad hoc or even contradictory descriptors, which could make comparisons difficult and perhaps inaccurate. Modern geometric morphometrics is a family of methods in quantitative biology proposed to be the main source of data and analytical tools in the emerging field of phenomics studies. Based on the location of landmarks (corresponding points) over imaged specimens and by combining geometry, multivariate analysis, and powerful statistical techniques, these tools offer the possibility to reproducibly and accurately account for shape variations among groups and measure them in shape distance units.

Results
Here, a particular scheme of landmark placement on Arabidopsis rosette images is proposed to study shape variation in viral infection processes. Shape differences between controls and infected plants are quantified throughout the infectious process and visualized. Quantitative comparisons between two unrelated ssRNA+ viruses are shown, and reproducibility issues are assessed.

Conclusions
Combined with the newest automated platforms and plant segmentation procedures, geometric morphometric tools could boost phenotypic features extraction and processing in an objective, reproducible manner.
Measuring the impact of corporate social responsibility practices on brand equity in the banking industry in Bangladesh
Authors: Hafez Md. 
Published: June 2018

Purpose
The banking industry in Bangladesh is now conducting business under the growing pressure to conform to every aspect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) for the welfare of their clients and society. The value of CSR practices is attributed to the relationship between corporate image, brand awareness, brand equity (BE), competitive advantage and financial result. The purpose of this paper is to measure the impact of CSR on BE and to establish the moderating impact of corporate image and brand awareness.

Design/methodology/approach
Structural equation modeling was used to test the proposed hypotheses using a sample of 200 public and private bank customers in Bangladesh.

Findings
The results of this study demonstrated that CSR has a significant direct effect on the corporate image, brand awareness and BE. The results also confirm that corporate image and brand awareness partially mediate the relationship between CSR and BE.

Practical implications
The findings indicate that successfully CSR practices will enhance a bank’s image in the mind of customers. Customers will feel that they are contributing to social causes because they are receiving services from socially responsible organizations. CSR practices also create customer awareness regarding the financial services provided by a bank. Consequently, good reputation and brand awareness contribute to building strong BE for banks.

Originality/value
This research shows the mediating role of brand awareness and corporate image with CSR and BE in the context of the banking industry in Bangladesh which is rarely studied. Therefore, the findings of this study will add value to the existing literature.
Design of a human-centric de-identification framework for utilizing various clinical research data
Authors: Lee Jaedong , Jung Jipmin , Park Phillip , Chung Seunghyun , Cha Hyosoung 
Published: June 2018

AbstractFor better life, medical and IT technology are converging and data plays a key role in this convergence. Data in the medical field is information about humans, and these data are sensitive. Because this type of data is frequently accessed by multiple users, a high degree of caution is required during handling. In addition, systematic security precautions must be followed to prevent data from being used outside of the intended purpose, even in clinical research. In this paper, we propose a human-centric framework for clinical environments based on the standards, procedures, and methods outlined in guidelines published in the United States and Korea. This study provides a more balanced approach to the utilization and security of personal information as compared to that in the two previously published guidelines. For the secure clinical studies, this framework makes it possible to provide utility and security in a balanced manner, depending on the forms of provision. As a result, the proposed framework extends the usability of the clinical study, and support secure usage of clinical research data.
A meta-analysis of narrow-band imaging for the diagnosis of primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Authors: Yeung David CM , Vlantis Alexander C , Wong Eddy WY , Tong Michael CF , Chan Jason YK 
Published: June 2018

Background: Narrow band imaging (NBI), an endoscopic technique featuring an augmented definition of microvasculature and mucosal patterns. NBI is increasingly advocated as a tool to characterize neoplasia and intestinal metaplasia in endoscopic standards, such as for colorectal polyps and tumors. Recently NBI has also been studied in the detection of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC). Here we aimed to assess the diagnostic utility of NBI for the diagnosis of NPC. Methods: A meta-analysis of studies comparing narrow-band imaging and white light endoscopy in the diagnosis of primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma was performed. The review process involved two independent investigators. The databases used were MEDLINE, PubMed, the Cochrane library, Embase, and the Web of Science. Statistical analysis was performed with OpenMetaAnalyst, MetaDiSc version 1.4, and Medcalc version 17.9.7. Results: Five studies including 2480 patients were included. The sensitivity and specificity for narrow-band imaging were 0.90 (0.73-0.97) and 0.95 (0.81-0.99) respectively. The positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio were 18.82 (0.31-82.1) and 0.08 (0.02-0.31). For white light endoscopy, the sensitivity and specificity were 0.77 (0.58-0.89) and 0.91 (0.79-0.96). The positive likelihood ratio was 7.61 (3.61-16.04), and the negative likelihood ratio was 0.21 (0.11-0.39). The odds ratio for detection rates between narrow-band imaging and white light endoscopy was 4.29 (0.56-33.03, p = 0.16). Area under the curve for narrow-band imaging was 0.98 (SE: 0.02), and for white light it was 0.93 (SE: 0.03). There was no significant difference in the receiver operating characteristic curves between the two modalities (p = 0.14). Conclusion: Narrow-band imaging showed a higher sensitivity and positive likelihood ratio for the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, there was no significant difference in detection rates compared to white light endoscopy. Further investigation with a uniform diagnostic criteria and terminology is needed for narrow-band imaging in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Repensar la producción de materiales pedagógicos en el aula universitaria.
Authors: Manuale Marcela Alicia 
Published: June 2018

El presente trabajo se origina en un proceso reflexivo que se vincula con una propuesta de formación docente realizada en ADUL (Asociación de Docentes de la UNL), denominada Curso de Producción de materiales Pedagógicos, en la cual participé en el año 2017, y que despertó estas ideas en relación a los apoyos didácticos.
Repensar la producción de materiales pedagógicos en el marco de la enseñanza universitaria, supone abordar una serie de problemáticas en torno a los procesos de enseñar y de aprender en este ámbito, y generar un espacio de reflexión sobre las prácticas de enseñanza que puedan ayudar a producir materiales que sean pertinentes con sus objetivos, contenidos y destinatarios.
Estos escritos que siguen pretenden ser botellas tiradas al mar, que contengan mensajes de utopía, de denuncia y de anuncio, como plantean las pedagogías críticas, en las cuales me inscribo. Que puedan contener recados y propuestas colectivas, tejidas por muchos, enriquecidas por otros, entramando miradas, ideas, pinceladas. Como afirma poéticamente Leopoldo Marechal (1999) “Muchacho, el pueblo recoge todas las botellas que se tiran al agua con mensajes de naufragio. El pueblo es una gran memoria colectiva, que recuerda todo lo que parece muerto en el olvido. Hay que buscar esas botellas y refrescar esa memoria…”
En el actual contexto de retorno del neoliberalismo conservador, es imprescindible buscar esas botellas y refrescar la memoria, recuperar la utopía, que incluye el lenguaje de la posibilidad y el sueño de lo posible. El gran pedagogo latinoamericano Paulo Freire, oponiéndose al discurso neoliberal, pragmático, según el cual “debemos adecuarnos a los hechos tal como se están dando, como si no pudieran darse de otra forma, como si no debiésemos luchar, precisamente por ser mujeres y hombres, para que se den de otra manera” (Freire, 2001), nos invita a soñar, como un acto político necesario. E insiste en que no hay utopía verdadera fuera de la tensión entre la denuncia de un presente que se hace cada vez más intolerable y el anuncio de un futuro por crear, por construir política, estética y éticamente entre todos, mujeres y hombres. La utopía implica esa denuncia y ese anuncio, pero no permite que se agote la tensión entre ambos en torno a la producción del futuro antes anunciado y ahora un nuevo presente. La nueva experiencia de sueño se instaura en la misma medida en que la historia no se inmoviliza, no muere. Por el contrario, continúa (Freire, 2001).

Published: June 2018

Abstract

In this study was aimed to conduct a screening study for examining the relationship between demographic factors such as gender and socio-economic level with psychological disorders seen in adolescents. Psychological Disorders Inventory for Adolescents (PDIA) developed by the researcher on the basis of DSM-5 and based on a self-report scale was used as data collection tool. 1953 students whose were 920 boys (47.1%) and were 1033 girls (52.9%) participated in this study. This study were made in Istanbul, in 4 private schools and 10 state schools. Since our research objective is to examine whether it was differentiated according to socio-economic level and gender of psychological disorders seen in adolescents, cluster sampling method was selected as the sample type and Ä°stanbul was divided into to clusters according to the socio-economic level variable. It applied independent-samples t test and one-way ANOVA to obtained data.Finally, in this study was identified that some psychological disorders showed significant differences in terms of gender, and also some psychological disorders could be explained significantly by the income level.
Keywords: Inventory of Psychological Disorders For Adolescences (PDIA), DSM 5, psychological disorders, gender and socio-economic level.
Intercultural/Pluricultural Communication Construct and Its Levels
Authors: Kalnbērziņa Vita 
Published: June 2018

The aim of this article is to explore the intercultural component (IC) in the English language curricula for the secondary and tertiary education in Latvia in the light of the new edition of Common European Framework of Language Learning, Teaching and Assessment Companion Volume with New Descriptors (CEFR, 2017) and compare it with the previous intercultural communication competence. The research method is documentary analysis of the three documents as regards their approach to intercultural communication. The analysis found that the documents were compatible, in spite of the difference of terminology, although CEFR (2017) aims at language users’ sensitivity and awareness in action, the secondary school proposes tolerance and following the rules, the tertiary education curriculum suggests critical thinking and analysis of the cultural phenomena. The roles of the three documents and their development contexts explain these differences and allow each one of the documents to give their own contribution to IC, as long as the users of the documents understand their differences and shortcomings.
An Investigation into How B2-C2 Level English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Learners Display Their Pragmatic Competence in Speaking
Authors: Willcox-Ficzere Edit 
Published: June 2018

The importance of testing second language (L2) learners’ pragmatic competence is becoming evident following increasing research (e.g. Ross and Kasper, 2013). Current pragmatic tests mainly use the Speech Act Theory as a theoretical framework and discourse completion tasks (DCTs) as test instruments. However, these have been criticized lately for overlooking the importance of the discursive side of pragmatics. The main objective of this research was to contribute towards the assessment of B2-C2 level EFL learners’ pragmatic competence by experimenting with task formats that allow the examination of extended oral discourse. The empirical study examined how two speaking task formats allowed test takers to display their pragmatic competence. It also aimed to identify some criterial features defining the level of EFL learners’ pragmatic competence. Six university students took part in this mixed-method study, which included four monologic and two dialogic tasks, followed by a semi-structured interview. Performance of the tasks was video recorded, transcribed and analyzed quantitatively as well as qualitatively using a Conversation Analytic framework. It was concluded that both task formats allow learners to display their pragmatic competence in terms of the sequential organization of speech and selection/use of pragmalinguistic devices. Results also showed that with increasing proficiency the number and range of pragmalinguistic devices seemed to increase and the sequential organization of speech tended to become somewhat more natural.
