Multifunctionality matters: preverbal yǒu in Mandarin and its aspectual potential
Authors: Sun Linlin , Bisang Walter 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This article confronts a multifunctional grammaticalized form in Mandarin, the preverbal morpheme yǒu (有). Since its appearance in the Chinese mainland around the 1990s, there has been controversy about whether it is an aspect marker or not. In response to this question, we conducted a questionnaire survey to investigate how native Mandarin speakers generally understand sentences with preverbal yǒu. The results not only show that preverbal yǒu can serve as a perfective viewpoint marker that makes the terminal boundary of an event semantically visible, but also provide evidence of its other function as an existential marker. The concrete function of preverbal yǒu (perfective or existential) depends on pragmatic inference based on the temporal properties of a given situation. With this observation, the paper resolves the controversy of which of these two functions actually applies to preverbal yǒu, and integrates this marker into the broader context of pragmatics-based multifunctionality as it is widely found in Sinitic and mainland Southeast Asian languages.
Degradation of Pinus sylvestris and Populus tremula by laccate Ganoderma species
Authors: Cortina-Escribano Marta , Barbero-López Aitor , Kilpeläinen Petri , Vanhanen Henri , Haapala Antti 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Wood chips and sawdust are used for cultivating Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms. In Northern Europe, side-streams of Pinus sylvestris are highly abundant, however as cultivation substrate they inhibit the growth of G. lucidum. To identify the changes in lignocellulosic composition after fungal degradation, the major lignocellulosic components in P. sylvestris and an optimal substrate for G. lucidum, Populus tremula were analyzed. Populus tremula was evenly degraded while the glucan fraction of P. sylvestris was not degraded and its lignin fraction was consumed almost completely. Despite not being an optimal substrate, P. sylvestris was successfully delignified by G. lucidum.
Strategic Location and Manager Delegation with Concentrated Consumer Demand
Authors: Stadler Manfred , Unsorg Maximiliane 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This paper studies how the separation of ownership and management affects firms’ location decisions in a model of price competition with concentrated consumer demand. Strategic location decisions are made by the owners themselves, whereas operational price decisions are delegated to managers. It is shown that the impact of manager delegation on locations, prices and profits crucially depends on the shape of the demand distribution. When the distribution is “broad-peaked”, delegation leads to more distant locations, higher prices and profits. However, “narrow-peaked” distributions reverse the delegation effect on location and can even lead to lower prices and profits.

Design and rationale for a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 trial of oral arimoclomol in inclusion body myositis
Abstract
Introduction/Aims: Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is the most common progressive, debilitating muscle disease in people over the age of 50 years, for whom there is no effective treatment. Here, we present the design and rationale for one of the largest clinical studies conducted in IBM to date, to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of arimoclomol, a novel, oral amplifier of the cellular heat shock response.
Methods: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial conducted at 11 centers in the US and one center in the UK. Eligible patients had a diagnosis of IBM fulfilling European Neuromuscular Centre 2011 criteria, with onset of weakness at > 45 years of age. Enrolled participants were randomized 1:1 to receive either oral arimoclomol citrate 1,200 mg/day or matching placebo for up to 20 months. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline to Month 20 in the IBM functional rating scale (IBMFRS) total score. The secondary efficacy endpoints include evaluations of participants’ functional abilities, strength, and physical health-related quality of life (HRQoL). A sub-study will characterize muscle changes using MRI in a subset of participants.
Discussion: This study will generate important clinical data on a novel therapeutic strategy for patients with IBM, a population with no current treatment options.
КРИТЕРИИ ТВОРЧЕСТВА ДЛЯ ИСКУССТВЕННОГО ИНТЕЛЛЕКТА
Authors: ДЕ АПРО Сона Вагановна 
Published: September 2024

В доктрине и научной литературе до сих пор не выработаны универсальные критерии творчества, которые могли бы стать надежными ориентирами в предоставлении защиты прав на результаты интеллектуальной деятельности. Вопрос об авторстве и признании «творчества» искусственного интеллекта также остается открытым. В статье рассмотрена проблема творчества с юридической точки зрения, в частности вопросы охраноспособности произведений, созданных с использованием искусственного интеллекта и непосредственно искусственным интеллектом. Обсуждаются роль воображения в творчестве и другие субъективные факторы, влияющие на творческую деятельность. Изложен взгляд на «мышление» искусственного интеллекта как алгоритмическое, лишенное человеческого духа. Обосновано предложение признать произведения, «созданные» искусственным интеллектом, вторичными, лишенными новизны объектами.
Explanatory remark on differences between a position paper and an empirical paper
Authors: Adeoye Moses Adeleke 
Published: September 2024

An accessible explanation of academic writing differences between a position paper and an empirical paper for graduate students’ writing approach. The purpose is for graduate scholars who want to use these articles for basic knowledge and fundamental ideas. It can also be used as a textbook or reference. The paper revealed information regarding academic writing differences between position papers, empirical papers and authenticate benefits. Both position papers and empirical papers involve research and analysis but the main difference is that position papers present a specific stance or argument while empirical papers present objective data and research findings. It was concluded that a position paper and an empirical paper focus on argumentation persuasion versus original research create a new body of knowledge scientifically.

Logistic Engineering is a new-promising discipline that supports the ongoing trend of the logistics market in Indonesia. Vocational education has not accommodated the demands and needs of the industry. This paper aims to list the required skills for logistics professionals from a global perspective. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method using articles obtained from national and international journals in the last two decades. The skills required are divided into two, technical competencies and soft skills. The result of the findings states that graduates are required modern skills that involves cross-functional, IT, and environmental as their advanced competency based on the specific logistic professional scope. It is also noted that these advanced skills must expand to the direction of specific logistic skills to suit their profession responsibilities. Core or primary skills including logistic knowledge, management, and intrapersonal was summarized on general consensus of global profession requirements. Thus, vocational education must train current and advanced technical competencies to meet global requirements.
Comprehensive wound healing approach for exposed achilles tendon without paratenon by utilizing matriderm with vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) and second-stage skin grafting
Authors: Singh Sudhir 
Published: September 2024

Achilles tendon lesions often necessitate flap surgery for wound closure, particularly when the paratenon is absent, as skin grafts fail without a vascular bed. While fasciocutaneous flaps offer functional benefits, they are complex and aesthetically unappealing. This study explores a simpler method combining Matriderm, Vacuum-Assisted Closure (VAC) therapy, and skin grafting to enhance healing, reduce scarring, and improve outcomes for exposed Achilles tendons.The study aims to optimize wound healing, minimize complications, and facilitate functional recovery of exposed Achilles tendons through a multi-step intervention involving Matriderm, VAC therapy, and skin grafting.An 87-year-old female with a gangrenous, infected wound over her left lower limb, including an exposed Achilles tendon, underwent debridement and antibiotic treatment. Due to her frail condition, a simpler method was chosen over traditional flap surgery.Intervention Steps: 1. Longitudinal Splitting: The Achilles tendon was split longitudinally to promote granulation tissue formation; 2. Matriderm Application: Matriderm, a bovine collagen matrix, provided a scaffold for cell ingrowth and neovascularization; 3. VAC Therapy: Subatmospheric pressure (-125 mmHg) was applied to remove excess fluid, reduce edema, and enhance blood flow, aiding granulation tissue formation; 4. Monitoring: Continuous monitoring ensured optimal granulation tissue development for successful skin grafting; 5. Second-Stage Skin Grafting: A thin skin graft was applied to the vascularized bed and stabilized with skin staplers; 6. Wound Closure and Rehabilitation: Post-grafting, the wound was dressed and monitored until complete healing, with follow-up evaluations.Preliminary results indicated successful wound closure, minimal complications, and optimized healing. At a one-year follow-up, the skin was pliable, elastic, free from scarring or contracture, and aesthetically appealing.We present a comprehensive very simple approach for wound cover healing of exposed bare Achilles tendon lacking paratenon by using MatriDerm with Vacuum-Assisted Closure (VAC) followed by a second-stage skin grafting procedure. The process involves sequential steps focusing on optimal wound healing, reduction of complications, and restoration of Achilles tendon functionality without the need of microsurgical skill or simple flap surgery with its own donor nonaesthetic morbidity.

Published: September 2024

Skin care supports the skin integrity and enhances its appearance. Increased desire to make oneself more presentable have led to increase in usage of skin care products. This is an era of social media and artificial intelligence where the information is few fingertips away. Social media has undoubtedly helped millions of people, but there is a possibility that the users might be in danger if they follow trends that are popular. Limited knowledge regarding the product may cause skin damage. This was a single centered questionnaire based cross-sectional study among medical students. Data was entered in MS Excel and descriptive statistics were done. 314 undergraduate medical students made up the study group. In this study 64 (20.4%) students were using sunscreen, 75 (23.9%) were using moisturiser, 12 (3.8%) were using facewash, 14 (4.5%) were using serums, 56 (17.8%) were using 2 or more products and 93 (23.6%) were not using any products. 105 (33.4%) purchased skin care products on advise of family / friends / colleagues, followed by social media 72 (22.9%), while 65 (20.7%) obtained information from TV advertisements, 64 (20.4%) from dermatologists and 8 (2.5%) from pharmacists.There is significant influence of social media among medical students. Medical students play an important role in dispersing information and hence they should have appropriate knowledge about healthy skin care practices.
Scarf vs minimally invasive 5 metatarsal osteotomy for the reduction of tailors bunions: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Coll Christopher , Beech Ian 
Published: September 2024

Scarf osteotomy is established for correcting bunionette deformities. Popularity of MIS has challenged whether percutaneous osteotomy has comparable outcomes with fewer complications although head-to-head trials are lacking.All studies demonstrating buniontte reduction via scarf or percutaneous osteotomy between 2000-2023 were collated. Systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical and patient reported outcomes was performed. Methodological quality assessment and risk of bias was reviewed. Mean statistical analyses of outcomes and complications were calculated. 11 small cases series met inclusion: 115 scarf osteotomy vs 170 MIS surgical episodes. All studies demonstrated statistically significant and comparable outcomes. Complications varied between procedures. All studies demonstrated high risk of bias. Both techniques adequately correct deformity delivering high patient satisfaction. Complication rates are similar although they manifest differently. The results of this study can be used to aid patient selection when considering open scarf or percutaneous 5 metatarsal osteotomy.
Una mirada contra colonial e interseccional a la construcción del sistema sexo-género moderno y sus implicaciones para la educación sexual
Authors: Oliveira Isadora de Freitas 
Published: September 2024

Promover una educación crítica y emancipatoria que se contrapone al sistema de dominación patriarcal, racista, capitalista y colonial implica en problematizar la colonialidad de los saberes y cuestionar la blanquitud. Eso significa también pensar en sexualidades en plural y comprender feminidades y masculinidades como construcciones sociohistóricas, forjadas en el pensamiento hegemónico estructural. En ese sentido, discutir alternativas epistemológicas acerca de la construcción de los cuerpos sexuados resultan imprescindibles para interpretar a la Educación Sexual Integral desde marcos interpretativos novedosos y emancipadores. El principal objetivo de este artigo de revisión es plantear por medio de un estudio bibliográfico una análisis crítica de la construcción del sistema sexo-género moderno sob la perspectiva decolonial e interseccional y sus implicaciones en la educación sexual. La intención es profundizar sobre los estudios de Laqueur (1994), Fausto-Sterling (2006), Haraway (2021), Oyěwùmí (2017), Hill Collins (2019), Ribeiro (2018), Akotirene (2018), Nuñez (2022), entre otres. Nos referiremos a la interseccionalidad como un sistema de opresiones interconectadas y a los estudios decoloniales como análisis y prácticas que buscan romper con las matrices de poder colonial. Mientras que el sistema sexo-género se refiere a las formas de relación que se establecen entre mujeres y hombres dentro de una sociedad.
Post-Dobbs Abortion Restrictions and the Families They Leave Behind
Authors: Madden Nigel , Trawick Emma , Watson Katie , Yee Lynn M. 
Published: September 2024

The June 24, 2022 US Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization resulted in an expansive restriction on abortion access that had been constitutionally guaranteed for nearly half a century. Currently, 14 states have implemented complete bans on abortion with very limited exceptions, and an additional 7 states have implemented abortion bans at 6 to 18 weeks’ gestation. It has been well demonstrated that restrictive policies disproportionately limit abortion access for minoritized people and people of low socioeconomic status; the financial and geographic barriers of these post- Dobbs restrictions will only exacerbate this disparity. Proponents of abortion restrictions, who identify as pro-life, assert that these policies are essential to protect children, women, and families. We examine whether the protection of these groups extends past conception by evaluating the association between state abortion legislation and state-based policies and programs designed to provide medical and social support for children, women, and families. We found that states with the most restrictive post- Dobbs abortion policies in fact have the least comprehensive and inclusive public infrastructure to support these groups. We suggest further opportunities for advocacy. ( Am J Public Health. 2024;114(10):1043–1050. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307792 )
How many turbidity currents pass through a submarine channel during its lifespan?
Authors: Jobe Zane R. , Hubbard Stephen M. , Romans Brian W. 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
Sediment gravity flows coursing through submarine channels are the most important conveyors of sediment and organic carbon to submarine fans. Submarine channel deposits, therefore, should record the archive of this sediment transfer. However, channel deposits have often been considered to be dominated by erosion and bypass, and thus an incomplete archive. We present data from a millimeter-scale investigation of an outcropping submarine channel element in the Cretaceous Tres Pasos Formation, southern Chile, that indicates that at least 520 sediment-gravity-flow events passed through a single channel during its lifespan. These 520 events are confined by one primary channel-form surface and 11 secondary channel-form surfaces that define the channel architecture. Three facies (axis, margin, drape) compose this architecture, with thick, coarser-grained, amalgamated event beds deposited in the axis, usually separated across secondary channel-form surfaces with thinner, finer-grained, non-amalgamated event beds deposited in the margin. The drape facies usually overlies secondary channel-form surfaces, and we interpret its presence as an indication of significant sediment bypass through the channel.
The 520 events are mostly preserved in the channel margin (82%), but the volumetric composition of the channel element is dominated by axis deposits (58%), with margin (37%) and drape (5%) being less significant. This indicates that the axis deposits, while the focus of many channel-related studies, record only a fraction of the temporal evolution of the channel. The channel margin, on the other hand, is the archive of turbidity-current activity in the channel. Using reasonable event recurrence intervals and turbidity-current-event sediment volumes, we estimate that the studied channel was active for approximately 5,000 years with a total sediment load of 5.2 km3, with 4.5 km3 of sediment bypassing the channel downslope to a fan or lobe deposit. Estimates of both timing and volume compare well to age-constrained Quaternary submarine channels (e.g., Amazon, Zaire, Niger Y) and illustrate the importance of submarine channels as conveyors of sediment to the deep-ocean sink.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Natural latex materials with excellent elongation, widely used in impregnated products and foam products. However, the lack of performance of traditional products has limited their application in high-end aspects, such as condoms and medical gloves. In this study, orthogonal test was used to determine the basic formula, and then silica and silane coupling agents were used to further improve the properties of natural latex film. The purpose of reinforcing natural latex film was realized, and super reinforced natural latex film was prepared. The results showed that the primary and secondary order of the optimized formula of natural rubber latex was sulfur > accelerator PX > zinc carbonate > Accelerator M with the tensile strength and tear strength as the indexes. With the increase of silica content, the tensile strength and tear strength of the obtained natural rubber latex vulcanized film reached 27.59 MPa and 50.73 kN/m, respectively. With the increase of the amount of silane coupling agent, the tensile strength of the obtained natural rubber latex vulcanized film was further increased to 29.01 MPa, while the tear strength tended to decrease. Including infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and other instrument analysis to further reveal the mechanism of silica reinforced natural rubber latex.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Poultry production is essential worldwide due to its role in supplying meat and eggs, which are rich in protein and vital nutrients for human diets. quick spread of sickness among the chicken, which may be uncontrollable by humans, causes a significant loss in the poultry even if farmers can save money on it since it requires little in the way of resources to feed the birds. Recently many technologies have been developed to detect chicken disease, but the technologies faced certain issues such as increased time consumption, inefficient detection, and so on. To defeat the mentioned challenges, a proposed method named grey wolf optimized Deep Convolutional Neural Network (GWO-Deep CNN) is designed to enrich the performance of research by detecting the disease accurately and further helps veterinarians to diagnose the disease properly, which reduces the death rate among the chickens in the poultry. The Deep CNN is utilized effectively to detect the disease accurately and classify the detected disease. Performance metrics utilized to analyze the performance of the GWO-Deep CNN are accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, which attain 0.952, 0.962, and 0.940 respectively.
