Definite-indefinite article choice development in Dutch child language
Authors: Keydeniers Darlene , Eliazer Jeanne , Schaeffer Jeannette 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Many acquisition studies indicate that across languages, children overgenerate definite articles in indefinite contexts. However, proportions and ages at which children make this error vary, and so do theoretical accounts. Attempting to resolve some of the mixed results, we combined the methods of two different studies (Schaeffer & Matthewson 2005 (SM) and van Hout, Harrigan & de Villiers 2010 (HHV)) and administered them to one group of 82 Dutch-acquiring children aged 2–9 and adult controls (N = 23).1 The results show that definite article overuse takes place in (a) only the youngest age group (2;1–3;7) in the relevant SM indefinite condition, (b) only the two oldest child groups (6;0–9;4) in the HHV indefinite condition, and (c) adults score at ceiling in the SM conditions, while only around 70% correct in the HHV conditions. We argue that (a) the indefinite conditions of the two article choice experiments test different types of knowledge, and therefore their results cannot be compared, (b) the HHV task has more methodological drawbacks than the SM task, rendering its results difficult to interpret, and (c) the results provide less evidence for HHV’s unranked-constraint hypothesis than for SM’s lack-of-Concept-of-Non-Shared-Assumptions hypothesis.
The function of metaphor framing, deliberate or otherwise, in a social world
Authors: Thibodeau Paul 
Published: August 2017

AbstractMetaphor frames highlight certain aspects of a target domain and deemphasize others, thereby encouraging specific patterns of inference. A recent series of studies (Reijnierse, Burgers, Krennmayr, & Steen, 2015;Steen, Reijnierse, & Burgers, 2014), however, raises questions about the role of metaphor in communication and reasoning by (a) failing to find metaphor framing effects on a series of policy judgments, (b) critiquing the methods that have been used to test for metaphor framing effects, and (c) arguing that current theories of metaphor processing fail to consider the social-pragmatic dimension of metaphor in communication. Here, I reflect on these concerns and present novel analyses of data collected by Steen and colleagues, which reveal metaphor framing effects in these studies but fail to support a prediction of Deliberate Metaphor Theory (DMT): that extended metaphors are more likely to be remembered. DMT attempts to situate metaphor framing effects more intentionally along a social-pragmatic dimension; developing and testing the theory was a primary motivation of the studies conducted by Steen and colleagues. I discuss the implications of these findings and offer a perspective on how DMT can help grow our knowledge of the function of metaphor in a social world.
A note about meta-metaphors
Authors: Ritchie L. David 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Although it is difficult to avoid metaphorical language in discussing and theorizing about communication, language, and metaphor itself, the metaphors we use have entailments that may not be consistent with the analyses they are intended to support. This essay discusses and compares the implications of some of the most common ‘meta-metaphors,’ metaphors used in discussions of metaphor.
Energy Density and Dry Matter Content in Fish: New Observations and an Evaluation of Some Empirical Models
Authors: Johnson Brett M. , Pate William M. , Hansen Adam G. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractEnergy density (ED) is an indicator of fish nutritional status, physiological status, and fitness. Estimates of ED of predators and prey are also needed for bioenergetics modeling, but direct measurements of ED are difficult to obtain. Hence, investigators often borrow published values from the same species or related species. Alternatively, models have been developed that predict ED from dry matter content (DM). The scarcity of published ED values makes data borrowing and the generality of predictive modeling difficult to evaluate. We report new ED measurements derived from bomb calorimetry for six freshwater fish species (Arctic Char Salvelinus alpinus, Brown Trout Salmo trutta, kokanee Oncorhynchus nerka, Lake Trout Salvelinus namaycush, Rainbow Trout O. mykiss, and White Sucker Catostomus commersonii) and compared them to previously published data. We used our data to validate existing ED:DM models and to fit new ones. We also quantified bias that could result from borrowing inappropriate ED values for bioenergetics modeling. We collected a range of fish sizes from two reservoirs of differing productivity and measured whole‐body ED (wet‐mass basis) and DM. Our data substantially increase the range of ED data for Arctic Char, kokanee, and White Suckers. Two multispecies ED:DM models predicted the ED of our samples accurately (mean root mean square error [RMSE] < 500 J/g), even at the extremes for the range of prediction where data used for model development were limited. Taxon‐specific models performed less well (mean RMSE = 775 J/g), and some appeared highly biased (RMSE 956−1,900 J/g). Bioenergetics model simulations showed that Lake Trout prey consumption could be overestimated by as much as 22% when using borrowed EDs for Lake Trout and their prey, but prey consumption estimates fell within ±2% of observed when ED was predicted from DM. When direct measures of ED are unattainable, measurement of DM and prediction of ED from one of the published multispecies models offer a practical and accurate method for bioenergetics modeling and other studies requiring information on fish energy content.
Spatial and Temporal Genetic Analysis of Walleyes in the Ohio River
Authors: Page Kevin S. , Zweifel Richard D. , Stott Wendylee 
Published: August 2017

AbstractPrevious genetic analyses have shown that Walleyes Sander vitreus in the upper Ohio River comprise two distinct genetic strains: (1) fish of Great Lakes origin that were stocked into the Ohio River basin and (2) a remnant native strain (Highlands strain). Resource agencies are developing management strategies to conserve and restore the native strain within the upper reaches of the Ohio River. Hybridization between strains has impacted the genetic integrity of the native strain. To better understand the extent and effects of hybridization on the native strain, we used mitochondrial DNA and microsatellite markers to evaluate the spatial (river sections) and temporal (pre‐ and poststocking) genetic diversity of Ohio River Walleyes. Contemporary Lake Erie Walleyes and archival museum specimens collected from the Ohio River basin were used for comparison to contemporary Ohio River samples. Although there was evidence of hybridization between strains, most of the genetic diversity within the Ohio River was partitioned by basin of origin (Great Lakes versus the Ohio River), with greater similarity among river sections than between strains within the same section. Results also suggested that the native strain has diverged from historical populations. Furthermore, notable decreases in measures of genetic diversity and increased relatedness among native‐strain Walleyes within two sections of the Ohio River may be related to stocking aimed at restoration of the Highlands strain. Our results suggest that although the Highlands strain persists within the Ohio River, it has diverged over time, and managers should consider the potential impacts of future management practices on the genetic diversity of this native strain.
L. V. Shcherba: a ‘new slant’ on modern foreign languages in the school curriculum?
Authors: Campbell-Thomson Olga 
Published: August 2017

ABSTRACTIn this paper, I offer a critical reflection on the thesis of the general educational value of foreign languages developed by Russian linguist Lev Vladimirovich Shcherba. I do so against the background of current debates on the positioning of foreign languages in the school curriculum in the United Kingdom (UK). I argue that Shcherba's thesis, which was developed almost a century ago, retains its currency and can make an important contribution to the on‐going discussion on the value of foreign languages in UK schools. The paper outlines Shcherba's scholarly explorations in general linguistics which underpin his arguments in favour of the inclusion of foreign languages in the basic school curriculum. The conception of language as a system immanently positioned in social experience assigns the foundational role to language in the literacy project. The conscious analytic processing of language phenomena is viewed as an essential pre‐condition of literacy, and foreign languages are shown to be instrumental in developing such an analytic capacity of mind. Shcherba's argumentation reflects a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach, both to foreign language education and to curriculum matters, and merits the attention of language practitioners, educationalists and policy‐makers alike.
Bilateral comparison on electric field measurements between TÜBİTAK UME and SASO NMCC
Authors: Aslan Çağlar , Alrobaish Abdullah M , Şen Osman 
Published: August 2017

Electromagnetic (EM) probes are widely utilized in the measurement of EM fields for non-ionizing radiation, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing and other applications in the frequency range 5 Hz–60 GHz. They must be calibrated by National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) or accredited calibration laboratories in accordance with international standards such as IEEE 1309. The existing NMIs or emerging NMIs should refer to the international comparison measurements in order to assure the quality of their measurement results. Therefore, the electric field comparison measurements organized by TUBITAK UME were performed between TUBITAK UME and SASO NMCC at the 100 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 MHz, 100 MHz, 1 GHz, 10 GHz and 18 GHz frequencies in order to obtain the correction factors of the electric field probes. The comparison measurements were carried out in accordance with the Technical Protocol prepared by TUBITAK UME. The measurements started in October 2017 and were completed in January 2017. There was good agreement found for the correction factors.

Abstract

Objectives
to evaluate the frequency of potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) prescription among older people with dementia (PwD) from eight countries participating in the European study ‘RightTimePlaceCare’, and to evaluate factors and adverse outcomes associated with PIM prescription.

Methods
survey of 2,004 PwD including a baseline assessment and follow-up after 3 months. Interviewers gathered data on age, sex, prescription of medication, cognitive status, functional status, comorbidity, setting and admission to hospital, fall-related injuries and mortality in the time between baseline and follow-up. The European Union(7)-PIM list was used to evaluate PIM prescription. Multivariate regression analysis was used to investigate factors and adverse outcomes associated with PIM prescription.

Results
overall, 60% of the participants had at least one PIM prescription and 26.4% at least two. The PIM therapeutic subgroups most frequently prescribed were psycholeptics (26% of all PIM prescriptions) and ‘drugs for acid-related disorders’ (21%). PwD who were 80 years and older, lived in institutional long-term care settings, had higher comorbidity and were more functionally impaired were at higher risk of being prescribed two PIM or more. The prescription of two or more PIM was associated with higher chance of suffering from at least one fall-related injury and at least one episode of hospitalisation in the time between baseline and follow-up.

Conclusions
PIM use among PwD is frequent and is associated with institutional long-term care, age, advanced morbidity and functional impairment. It also appears to be associated with adverse outcomes. Special attention should be paid to psycholeptics and drugs for acid-related disorders.
Ecology and behaviour of holoplanktonic scyphomedusae and their interactions with larval and juvenile fishes in the northern Gulf of Mexico
Authors: Greer Adam T , Chiaverano Luciano M , Luo Jessica Y , Cowen Robert K , Graham William M 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Pelagia noctiluca is a venomous, globally distributed holoplanktonic scyphomedusa that periodically forms aggregations in coastal environments, yet little is known about its ecology and behaviour in the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGOM). Using a high resolution plankton imaging system, we describe the patch characteristics of Pelagia medusae in relation to fine-scale biological and physical variables during two summers at shallow (∼25 m, 2016) and deeper (∼45 m, 2011) sampling areas on the nGOM shelf. At the deeper site during the day, average Pelagia medusae concentrations just underneath a surface plume of fresher water (10–25 m) ranged from 0.18 to 0.91 ind. m−3, with a Lloyd’s patchiness index of 13.87, indicating strong aggregation tendencies (peak fine-scale concentration reached 27 ind. m−3). These patches were often associated with horizontal gradients in salinity, and concentrations of several zooplankton taxa (e.g. chaetognaths, hydromedusae, siphonophores, and ctenophores) were significantly negatively correlated with Pelagia medusae abundance (p &lt; 0.0001, Spearman correlations). Although larval fish abundance was not correlated with Pelagia medusae on the 1 m3 scale (19.25 m horizontal distance), larval and juvenile fishes between 0.6 and 2.0 cm aggregated underneath the bell of some Pelagia medusae during the daytime only, even within hypoxic waters. Vertical distributions collected on a diel cycle demonstrated that Pelagia medusae perform a reverse diel vertical migration constrained by low salinity near the surface. These data suggest that salinity changes drive the distribution of Pelagia medusae vertically and horizontally, and when sufficient concentrations are present, medusae are capable of exerting a top-down effect on the abundances of their zooplankton prey. For zooplankton with high visual acuity, such as larval and juvenile fishes, the relationship with Pelagia medusae may change on a diel cycle and depend on the sensory ability of potential prey.
Almost Primes in Thin Orbits of Pythagorean Triangles
Authors: Ehrman Max 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Let $F=x^2+y^2-z^2$, and let $x_0 \in \mathbb{Z}^3$ be a $primitive$ solution to $F(x_0)=0$, e.g., so that its coordinates share no nontrivial divisor. Let $\Gamma \leq \mathrm{SO_F(\mathbb{Z})}$ be a thin subgroup. We consider the resulting thin orbits of Pythagorean triples $x_0 \cdot \Gamma$—specifically which hypotenuses, areas, and products of all three coordinates arise. We produce infinitely many $R$-almost primes in these three cases whenever $\Gamma$ has exponent $\delta_\Gamma&gt;\delta_0(R)$ for explicit $R$, $\delta_0$.
An environmental scan of shared access to patient portals
Authors: Wolff Jennifer L , Kim Victoria S , Mintz Suzanne , Stametz Rebecca , Griffin Joan M 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
We sought to understand the comprehensiveness of consumer-oriented information describing the availability of shared access to adult patient portals from publicly reported information on institutional websites of 20 large and geographically diverse health systems. All 20 health systems reported that they offer patients the ability to share access to their patient portal account with a family member or friend; however, the comprehensiveness of information regarding registration procedures, features, and terminology varied widely. Half of the systems (n = 10) reported having shared access available on their patient portal registration webpage. Few systems (n = 2) reported affording patients the ability to differentiate specific role-based privileges. No systems reported uptake of shared access among adult patients, which was variably described as “proxy,” “caregiver,” “parental,” or “delegate” access. Findings suggest that engaging families through health information technology will require greater efforts to promote awareness and differentiate privileges that respect patients’ choice and control in information-sharing preferences.
Brain Shift and Pneumocephalus Assessment During Frame-Based Deep Brain Stimulation Implantation With Intraoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Authors: Matias Caio M , Frizon Leonardo A , Asfahan Fadi , Uribe Juan D , Machado Andre G 
Published: August 2017

Abstract

BACKGROUND
Brain shift and pneumocephalus are major concerns regarding deep brain stimulation (DBS).

OBJECTIVE
To report the extent of brain shift in deep structures and pneumocephalus in intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

METHODS
Twenty patients underwent bilateral DBS implantation in an MRI suite. Volume of pneumocephalus, duration of procedure, and 6 anatomic landmarks (anterior commissure, posterior commissure, right fornix [RF], left fornix [LF], right putaminal point, and left putaminal point) were measured.

RESULTS
Pneumocephalus varied from 0 to 32 mL (median = 0.6 mL). Duration of the procedure was on average 195.5 min (118-268 min) and was not correlated with the amount of pneumocephalus. There was a significant posterior displacement of the anterior commissure (mean = −1.1 mm, P < .001), RF (mean = −0.6 mm, P < .001), LF (mean = −0.7 mm, P < .001), right putaminal point (mean = −0.9 mm, P = .001), and left putaminal point (mean = −1.0 mm, P = .001), but not of the posterior commissure (mean = 0.0 mm, P = .85). Both RF (mean = −.7 mm, P < .001) and LF (mean = −0.5 mm, P < .001) were posteriorly displaced after a right-sided burr hole. There was a correlation between anatomic landmarks displacement and pneumocephalus after 2 burr holes (rho = 0.61, P = .007), but not after 1 burr hole (rho = 0.16, P = .60).

CONCLUSION
Better understanding of how pneumocephalus displaces subcortical structures can significantly enhance our intraoperative decision making and overall targeting strategy.
Varieties of risk regulation in Europe: coordination, complementarity and occupational safety in capitalist welfare states

Published: August 2017

Abstract
This article tests the extent to which the organization and stringency of occupational health and safety regulation complements the dominant mode of coordination in the political economy. While the UK explicitly sanctions risk-cost-benefit trade-offs, other European countries mandate ambitious safety goals. That contrast appears to reflect cleavages identified in the Varieties of Capitalism literature, which suggests worker protection regimes are stronger in coordinated market economies than in liberal market economies. Our analysis of Germany, France, UK and the Netherlands, shows that the varied organization of their regulatory regimes is explained through a three-way complementarity with their welfare systems and modes of coordination. However, despite varied headline goals, we find no systematic differences in the stringency of those countries’ regulatory protections insofar as they all make trade-offs on safety. Instead, the explicitness, rationalizations and logics of trade-offs vary according to each country’s legal system, state tradition and coupling between regulation and welfare system.
Making the First Cut: An Analysis of Academic Medicine Editors’ Reasons for Not Sending Manuscripts Out for External Peer Review
Authors: Meyer Holly S. , Durning Steven J. , Sklar David P. , Maggio Lauren A. 
Published: August 2017

Purpose
Manuscripts submitted to Academic Medicine (AM) undergo an internal editor review to determine whether they will be sent for external peer review. Increasingly, manuscripts are rejected at this early stage. This study seeks to inform scholars about common reasons for internal editor review rejections, increase transparency of the process, and provide suggestions for improving submissions.

Method
A mixed-methods approach was used to retrospectively analyze editors’ free-text comments. Descriptive content analysis was performed of editors’ comments for 369 manuscripts submitted between December 2014 and December 2015, and rejected prior to external peer review from AM. Comments were analyzed, categorized, and counted for explicit reasons for rejection.

Results
Nine categories of rejection reasons were identified: ineffective study question and/or design (338; 92%); suboptimal data collection process (180; 49%); weak discussion and/or conclusions (139; 37%); unimportant or irrelevant topic to the journal’s mission (137; 37%); weak data analysis and/or presentation of results (120; 33%); text difficult to follow, to understand (89; 24%); inadequate or incomplete introduction (67; 18%); other publishing considerations (42; 11%); and issues with scientific conduct (20; 5%). Manuscripts had, on average, three or more reasons for rejection.

Conclusions
Findings suggest that clear identification of a research question that is addressed by a well-designed study methodology on a topic aligned with the mission of the journal would address many of the problems that lead to rejection through the internal review process. The findings also align with research on external peer review.
