First things third? The extension of canonically third-person singular inflections to first-person singular subjects in adult heritage Spanish
Authors: Giancaspro David , Higdon Josh 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Previous research has found that heritage speakers of Spanish sometimes extend canonically third-person singular (3PS) verbal morphology to first-person singular (1PS) subjects, a pattern that has been reported with both children and adults across a variety of different verbal paradigms (e.g., preterite). However, despite clear evidence of 3PS extensions in heritage Spanish, no previous research has systematically investigated the factors that shape this common, yet still poorly understood morphological tendency. To test whether heritage speakers’ likelihood of extending 3PS forms is shaped by paradigmatic frequency, the present study investigated adult heritage speakers’ production and comprehension of person agreement in the present perfect paradigm, which is relatively low frequency in Latin American/US varieties of Spanish, and the preterite paradigm, which is relatively much more frequent. 30 adult heritage speakers of Latin American/US Spanish completed two oral production tasks and one listening comprehension task, all of which targeted their knowledge of 1PS and 3PS morphology in both the present perfect and preterite paradigms. Results of the production experiments revealed that heritage speakers were far more likely to extend 3PS morphology to 1PS subjects in the present perfect paradigm than in the preterite paradigm, an asymmetry that we attribute to the lower relative frequency of present perfect verb forms. In the comprehension task, participants performed similarly by extending 1PS readings to canonically 3PS inflections more often in the present perfect than in the preterite. Together, these novel results indicate that heritage speakers are more likely to extend 3PS inflections in the paradigms that they use less, a finding with key implications for our understanding of how language experience shapes the variable morphological systems that heritage speakers develop.

Abstract
The present study examines Spanish gender agreement among beginner and non-beginner naturalistic and instructed native Russian learners of L3 Spanish. The project has two goals: first, to investigate whether the above groups differed in their target production and comprehension of gender agreement according to a series of morphological variables (gender class, type, and congruency) and secondly, to determine whether there was a relationship between accuracy and task completion times. A total of 49 native speakers of Russian learning Spanish as an L3, divided across two learner groups (24 instructed in Canada and 25 naturalistic in Mexico) and two proficiency levels (28 beginners and 21 non-beginners), along with a control group of 15 native Spanish speakers, completed several tasks. Results demonstrate that regardless of learning environment, native-like proficiency for gender agreement can be achieved at advanced levels. Differences were observed at the beginner level with the naturalistic group performing better with more difficult forms (e.g., feminine, non-canonical, and incongruent), indicating that at initial stages there is an advantage of naturalistic acquisition. Naturalistic learners had faster task completion times, though this did not correspond to higher accuracy levels. This study has important implications for the field of applied linguistics as it places importance on assessing gender acquisition across distinct learning environments.

Do Technical Implementations Help Physicians: An Evaluation of a New Procedure Documentation Tool on Provider Efficiency in the Electronic Health Record
Authors: Ioerger Patrick , Smith Timothy 
Published: September 2024

Introduction. Provider time spent in the electronic health record (EHR) continues to increase, adding stress to an already demanding field. This study quantified the impact of a new EHR procedure documentation tool designed to reduce charting burden.
Methods. This retrospective cohort study was conducted at the University of Kansas Health System and involved ambulatory physicians from all hospitals who were granted access to a new procedural documentation tool. Data on time spent per chart and clicks per chart per office visit were gathered from the hospital's EHR system. The cohort also completed a survey regarding their self-perceived efficiency in the EHR and charting burden.
Results. The procedure documentation tool was used for 68% (25/37) of eligible procedures at one-month post-implementation. There was no significant difference in minutes per chart between the group that used the tool and the group that did not, although the group using the tool had lower charting time (median difference [MD] = 5.517; 95% CI, -0.283 to 13.317; p = 0.066). A similar trend was seen with clicks per chart, with an MD of 4 (95% CI, -3 to 11; p = 0.25).
Conclusions. While the difference was not significant, this study achieved its goal of quantifying the impact of a health information technology (HIT) project and indicates the need for further examination of how to quantify future projects. It lays the groundwork for future evaluation of similar tools and studies.

This research examines the use of artificial intelligence (AI), which is ChatGPT, as a learning method. The aim of this study is to measure the level of feelings, attitudes and knowledge in learning using ChatGPT among higher education institution students. The theory that researchers use is the ABC Model by Eagle & Chaiken (1998), which measures affection, behaviour, and cognition of ChatGPT as a learning method. The research was conducted among the Edu Hub Pagoh population, which uses Kulliyyah Sustainable Tourism and Contemporary Language (KSTCL) students as their sample, consisting of 42 respondents, which include 34 females (81%) and 8 males (19%).The method of this study quantitative method, which is cluster sampling. The findings confirm that all three variables show a positive response toward using ChatGPT as one of the learning methods, and the mean of the variables, which are affection, behavioural and cognitive, is 2.958, 2.852, and 2.924, respectively, and overall, the results are moderate. The positive response towards using ChatGPT as a learning method suggests the potential for its wider application in educational settings. The moderate mean values indicate room for improvement and optimization of the AI tool for better learning outcomes. The study also highlights the importance of considering students’ feelings, attitudes, and knowledge when implementing AI tools in learning, which could guide future research and development in this area. Furthermore, the gender disparity in the sample (81% females and 19% males) might suggest a need for further research to understand if gender influences the response to AI learning methods. Overall, the study underscores the potential of AI, like ChatGPT, in transforming learning experiences in higher education institutions.

The emergence of bacterial antibiotic resistance represents a significant global health concern, particularly with the rise of multi-drug-resistant bacteria. Overuse of antibiotics has been identified as a primary driver of this phenomenon, as exposure to these drugs can lead to developing resistance in microorganisms. This study aims to investigate the incidence of MDR-resistant isolates in clinical samples (blood, urine and pus) collected from patients at Gonoshasthya Somaj vittik Medical College & Hospital and LABAID Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh.The research was conducted for 12 months from July 2022 to June 2023.Cultural and biochemical tests were performed to isolate and identify the bacterial isolates from different clinical samples. Antibiograms were determined using the disc diffusion method with ten commercially available broad-spectrum antibiotics.A total of 146 isolates including Gram-positive, Gram-negative and fungal strains were isolated and identified through standard biochemical tests. We recorded 37.73% MDR E. coli and 55.55% Staphylococcus spp. In this research, where the highest number of MDR E. coli found in urine samples was 45% and MDR Staphylococcus spp. Found 66.67% in the pus sample of examined patients, respectively. The antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed significant resistance patterns among the isolates. E. coli showed high resistance rates in Azithromycin 100%, followed by Aztreonam 90%, and Amoxyclave 75%, whereas Staphylococcus spp. notably resistance in Penicillin-G and Cefixitin at 100% followed by Tetracycline at 86.67% and Erythromycin at 73.33% respectively.These findings underscore the urgent need for effective management strategies due to high antibiotic resistance in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Understanding bacterial resistance patterns is essential for guiding treatment and infection control in clinical settings. Our research highlights the immediate need to discover new antibiotics for treating human multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections.

Urogenital tuberculosis (UGTB) has not been extensively studied in the Gulf region, particularly in Qatar. This study aimed to describe the incidence, demography, presentation, diagnosis, and treatment outcomes of UGTB among adult patients in Qatar. This retrospective descriptive study was conducted from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2020, in six centers of Hamad Medical Corporation in Qatar. All patients with UGTB admitted or treated at these centers were included in the study. During the study period, we recruited 106 patients with isolated or combined UGTB, representing 0.4 percent of all TB cases and an incidence of 0.7 new UGTB cases per 100,000 population in Qatar between 2015 and 2020. Most patients were males [79 (74.5%)] and non-Qataris [102 (96.2%)]. The mean age of the patients was 40.60 ± 11.39 years. The mean illness duration was 86.98±129.84 days, and the most frequent presenting symptom was abdominal pain [51(48.1%)]. UGTB was diagnosed by direct bacilli identification or culture growth in 34 (32.1%) patients; histopathology in 55 (51.9 %) patients; and a combination of strong clinical, laboratory, and radiographic evidence of UGTB without microbiological or histological confirmation in 17 (16.0%) patients. All patients received anti-tuberculosis therapy with various durations, while surgical interventions were reported in 73(68.9%) cases. Most patients, 85 (80.2%), completed their treatment in Qatar, while 21 (19.8%) left the country before completion, and no mortalities had been reported. The diagnosis of UGTB is generally delayed due to vague clinical features. Awareness of UGTB is essential for physicians to suspect this disease in patients with unexplained urogenital symptoms, especially in patients from TB-endemic areas or with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Foam Properties Evaluation under Harsh Conditions: Implications for Enhanced Eco-Friendly Underbalanced Drilling Practices

Published: September 2024

Summary
Foam drilling offers advantages such as reduced formation damage and faster drilling in underbalanced drilling (UBD) operations. The efficacy of foam drilling is influenced by factors including pressure, temperature, salt content, foam quality, and pH levels. However, a gap exists in the evaluation of foam properties under rigorous conditions, particularly those involving high pH and mixed salt environments common in drilling scenarios, highlighting the need for further research. In this study, a high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) foam analyzer and rheometer were employed to examine the stability and rheological behavior of ammonium alchohol ether sulfate (AAES) foam under simulated alkaline drilling conditions. The foaming solution, designed to replicate such conditions, consisted of synthetic seawater (SW) with a salt mixture totaling approximately 67.70 g/L and a 0.5 wt.% foaming agent adjusted to a pH of 9.5. This approach differs from the individual salt studies prevalent in existing literature and provides a unique perspective on foam stability and behavior. Driven by environmental sustainability considerations, the effects of eco-friendly surfactant AAES and various drilling fluid additives: polyanionic cellulose (PAC), carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (CMC), and xanthan gum (XG), were investigated for foam formulation. The apparent viscosity of the AAES foam was evaluated at different pressures and temperatures across varying shear rates. A consistent decrease in foam viscosity with increasing shear rates was observed, irrespective of pressure and temperature. An increase in foam viscosity was also noted with higher pressures (from 14.7 psi to 3,000 psi) at low shear rates, with values rising from 8.04 cp to 14.74 cp, and from 3.71 cp to 5.79 cp at high shear rates of 1,000 s⁻¹. Increasing foam quality from 65% to 85% resulted in significant improvements in viscosity, approximately 37% at low shear rates and about 79% at high shear rates. The introduction of additives to AAES foam at 1,000 psi and 90°C led to a substantial increase in viscosity, with PAC showing the most significant enhancement: 33.28 cp at low shear rates and 18.15 cp at high shear rates. Conversely, the viscosity of both base AAES foam and additive-enhanced foams decreased with rising temperatures, although PAC exhibited the greatest resistance to viscosity variations due to temperature changes. The addition of PAC also resulted in a notable increase in foam yield stress, potentially leading to more efficient cuttings transport and hole cleaning. Furthermore, foam stability was significantly improved by the additives, with XG and CMC doubling stability to 48 minutes, and PAC resulting in a threefold increase in half-life to 65 minutes. This study presents AAES and the tested additives as viable components for eco-friendly foam formulations, promoting enhanced properties suitable for UBD applications.

Abstract

As a transitional alternative refrigerant, R32 has been used in domestic air conditioners. At the same time, the heat transfer tube size of the evaporator of domestic air conditioners develops towards small tube diameter. This paper focuses on the numerical simulation study of the boiling heat transfer characteristics of R32 flowing in a horizontal smooth tube with an inner diameter of 4 mm, and analyzes the influence of the change of tube diameter. The results show that the boiling heat transfer coefficient increases with the increase of mass flux, heat flux and saturation temperature, and decreases with the increase of tube diameter and inlet dryness. In a horizontal smooth tube with an inner diameter of 4 mm. The boiling heat transfer coefficient in the tube increased by 18.95% when the mass flux was increased from 100 kg·m-2·s-1 to 250 kg·m-2·s-1. The boiling heat transfer coefficient increased by 182.25% when the heat flux was increased from 3 kW·m-2 to 14 kW·m-2. The boiling heat transfer coefficient increased by 25% when the saturation temperature was increased from 280.15 K to 284.15 K. The boiling heat transfer coefficient increased by 19.62% when the tube diameter was decreased from 6 mm to 3 mm.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Optimizing athletic training programs with the support of predictive models is an active research topic, fuelled by a consistent data collection. The Fitness-Fatigue Model (FFM) is a pioneer for modelling responses to training on performance based on training load, exclusively. It has been subject to several extensions and its methodology has been questioned. In this article, we leveraged a Bayesian framework involving biologically meaningful priors to diagnose the fit and predictive ability of the FFM. We used cross-validation to draw a clear distinction between goodness-of-fit and predictive ability. The FFM showed major statistical flaws. On the one hand, the model was ill-conditioned, and we illustrated the poor identifiability of fitness and fatigue parameters using Markov chains in the Bayesian framework. On the other hand, the model exhibited an overfitting pattern, as adding the fatigue-related parameters did not significantly improve the model's predictive ability (p-value > 0.40). We confirmed these results with 2 independent datasets. Both results question the relevance of the fatigue part of the model formulation, hence the biological relevance of the fatigue component of the FFM. Modelling sport performance through biologically meaningful and interpretable models remains a statistical challenge.

Abstract

In contemporary research, there is a clear emphasis on the physicochemical characteristics and effectiveness of nanoliposomal (NLs) formulations. However, there has been minimal focus on elucidating nano-bio interactions and understanding the behavior of these formulations at organ and cellular levels. Specifically, it is widely recognized that when exposed to biological fluids, nano-delivery systems, including NLs, rapidly interact with various biomolecules which have a significant impact on the functionality and destiny of the nano-systems but also influence cellular biological functions. Hence, the primary objective of this study was to illuminate the evolution of physicochemical characteristics and surface properties of NLs in biorelevant media. Additionally, in order to point out the influence of specific characteristics on the brain targeting potential of these formulations, we investigated NLs interactions with BBB (hCMEC/D3) and neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) under different conditions. The results obtained from in vitro comparative cell uptake studies on both cell culture lines after treatment with 3 different concentrations of fluorescently labelled NLs (5, 10 and 100 μg/mL) over a period of 1, 2 and 4 h showed a time- and concentration-dependent internalization pattern, with high impact of the surface characteristics of the different formulations. In addition, transport studies on hCMEC/D3/SH-SY5Y co-culture confirmed the successful transport of NLs across the BBB cells and their subsequent uptake by neurons (ranging from 25.17 to 27.54%). Fluorescence and confocal microscopy micrographs revealed that, once internalized, NLs were concentrated in the perinuclear cell regions.
