Action nouns in Vedic support-verb constructions with kṛ
Authors: Ittzés Máté 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Action nouns can be formed from verbal roots in Vedic Old Indo-Aryan following various derivational patterns. The question is whether, and to what extent, such nouns, if derived from the same underlying root, can be considered equivalent or synonymous. It has been argued by several scholars that deverbal *-ti-stem and *-tu-stem action nouns were functionally-semantically different in Proto-Indo-European and ancient Indo-European languages such as Greek, Latin and the Indo-Iranian languages basically preserved this distinction. In this context, Benveniste pointed out that support-verb constructions in Ancient Greek, as a rule, involved -σι-stems (< *-ti-) as nominal hosts and not -τυ-stems (< *-tu-). The present paper shows that the same distribution of the two types of action nouns can be observed in the support-verb constructions of Early Vedic as well, a fact that nicely corroborates the assumption of their fundamental functional-semantic difference. It may be expected that further research will be able to reveal similar distinctions between other types of action nouns on the basis of analogous distributional patterns.
Age and gender differences in meme humor: a multimodal variationist mixed-method approach
Authors: Du Bois Inke 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Digital humor expressed through memes plays a vital role in facilitating social interaction in online environments. This paper reports on age and gender-related differences in multimodal digital meme humor from users aged 14 to 93. Its aim is to investigate how visual and textual elements, psychological humor types and digital humor types vary among smartphone users of different age and gender groups. The multimodal corpus was compiled from memes that were shared by 250 BA English and senior citizen students at a German university and their relatives and friends. The memes were annotated with the Covid-19 topic (e.g. lockdown, mask requirement, vaccination) and the sources of visual origin (e.g. cartoon characters, animals, politicians). Also, a previously non-multimodal psychological humor framework (Martin, Rod A., Patricia Puhlik-Doris, Gwen Larsen, Jeanette Gray & Kelly Weir. 2003. Individual differences in uses of humor and their relation to psychological well-being: Development of the Humor Styles Questionnaire. Journal of Research in Personality 37(1) 48–75) was applied to the memes. To determine the linguistic multimodal digital humor types, Vásquez, C. 2019. Language, creativity and humour online. London). Terminology was employed for annotation. The statistical analysis reveals only slight gender differences concerning all variables. Significant differences were found concerning both multimodal humor frameworks, language usage, canvas and humor themes across all age groups. The interconnectedness of the codes is captured in a qualitative analysis of select memes to underscore the semiotic dynamics of multimodal humor.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
A reversible associated copolymer capable of healing at room temperature was constructed using acrylic acid (AA) and hemin as anionic monomers, and methacryloyloxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride (DMC) as the cationic monomer. Through optimization of the synthesis conditions, characterization by 1HNMR, infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and construction of reasonable models for dynamic simulation, the following conclusions were obtained: The introduction of Hemin could convert light energy into heat energy, accelerating the healing of damaged areas; the predicted glass transition temperature value matched well with the experimental value, demonstrating the reliability of the constructed polymer model; the cohesive energy density (CED), dominated by electrostatic interactions, was identified as the key factor in the self-healing mechanism; the study also visually captured the microscopic process of self-healing within the polymer, providing a detailed understanding of the molecular rearrangements that facilitate this process. This work offers valuable insights into the design of reversible associated polymers, contributing to the broader goal of developing functional polymer materials aligned with circular economy principles.

Abstract
The thermal neutron capture cross section of the 139La(n,γ)140La nuclear reaction at 0.0372 eV energy was measured by the Neutron Diffraction Facility (NDF) in the Es-Salam Nuclear Research Reactor (Algeria). The 197Au(n,γ)198Au reaction was adopted as reference for the Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA). The induced activities in sample and control foils were measured non-destructively by a high-resolution HPGe γ-ray detector. The capture cross section of σ(∼7.5 ± 0.37) b was measured for the first time at this energy after correction for the γ attenuation effect. Our measured value at an energy of 0.0372 eV energy was compared with the evaluated cross sections reported in two different neutron databases, namely ENDF/B-VIII.0 and JENDL-5. The data measured at this energy was extrapolated to the energy 0.0253 eV, assuming 1/ν dependence in the thermal energy region, and the result was compared with the fully measured and evaluated values reported in the literature.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
With the shortage of international oil resources and rising oil prices, the acetylene chemical industry has been revitalized. As an important basic raw material in the petrochemical industry, it can produce many chemical products and extend the acetylene production chain. Firstly, the production, conversion, and utilization of acetylene are outlined. Subsequently, this paper focuses on reviewing the core production process routes and the corresponding research progress in the acetylene production chain and points out the development trends of the domestic acetylene downstream conversion. Then, considering that acetylene is produced by calcium carbide technology in Ningdong and the extended downstream polyvinyl chloride industry chain is a large energy consumer and the focus of environmental safety monitoring, the entire process from coal-based calcium carbide acetylene production to polyvinyl chloride synthesis is elaborated from the perspective of process systems engineering. The resource utilization status and bottlenecks in the process are declared, and the direction of process improvement and optimization is proposed. Finally, the entire acetylene production chain is briefly analyzed and reviewed.

Bioplastics have become a subject of interest for numerous purposes, such as food packaging and biomedical applications. Synthetic plastic takes around 100 years to degrade due to its hydrophobic nature. The objective of this study was to identify the physical properties of thermoplastic starch (TPS)/ banana peel (BP) at eight different concentrations of banana peel (BP), namely 5 wt.%, 10 wt.%, 15 wt.%, 20 wt.%, 25 wt.%, 30 wt.%, 35 wt.% and 40 wt.%. BPs were cleaned, oven-dried at 70 ℃, and ground into a particle size of 0.23 ± 0.02 mm. BP extract was obtained through the maceration process to develop eight different concentrations of TPS/BP. The bioplastic characteristics regarding physical properties were presented using FTIR analysis, SEM analysis, density, and porosity tests. The resulting FTIR spectra revealed a similar pattern. However, the peak at 2853.5 revealed the presence of BP extracts with a slightly sharper spectrum. The 40 wt.% TPS/BP indicated uneven surface and the presence of predominant elements of Mg, Na, Ca, and Fe, with values of 1.04%, 7.82%, 14.10%, and 7.52%, respectively. The 0 wt. % TPS/BP showed the highest degradation rate of 1.89 g and density of 1.32 But the lowest porosity of 0.09%. The TPS/BP biodegradable plastic has provided significant good physical properties to replace other synthetic polymers.

Published: October 2024

AbstractMXenes are conventionally synthesized by a top-down selective etching process using toxic fluoride-based chemicals. Here, we report a unique one-pot method for fabricating multilayer structures of Ti3C2OH MXene by etching Ti3AlC2 with alkali. MXene is synthesized by hydrothermal etching of MAX phase (Ti3AlC2) using relatively non-toxic alkali (potassium hydroxide) solutions. The quality of synthesized MXenes was studied as a function of alkali concentration, precursor pre-treatment, and total reaction time. Increase in alkali concentration exhibits improved etching capability, yield, and stability of MXene, whereas pre-treatment of precursor at elevated temperature and longer reaction time shows detrimental effects on the quality of synthesized MXene with formation of titanate nanofibers. Moreover, we also fabricated MXene/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate composite aerogels and demonstrated its suitability as active electrode material for supercapacitor applications.

The Algonquian person prefix is an agreement affix, not a pronominal clitic
Authors: Bruening Benjamin 
Published: October 2024

Halle &amp; Marantz (1993) propose that the person prefix that appears on Independent Order verbs in Potawatomi is a pronominal clitic and not an agreement affix, and this analysis has been followed for a variety of Algonquian languages by a large number of researchers. With data primarily from Passamaquoddy-Maliseet (Eastern Algonquian), I show that the prefix is not a pronominal clitic, it is an agreement affix, according to all diagnostics for distinguishing them. This conclusion is problematic because the prefix can be separated from the verb stem and the rest of the inflection, which is suffixal. I propose an analysis according to which all the inflectional suffixes are heads low in the clause, through which the main verb moves. The prefix, in contrast, is an Agr(eement) head adjoined to a head higher in the clause. This head attracts the highest verbal element, which will be the highest preverb if there is one, or the main verb if not. Preverbs are syntactic heads above the main verb which never form a complex head with it. This is amply justified by their separability, their prosody (they are often separate prosodic words), and coordination facts. Word order facts also indicate that the verb does not move very high in Algonquian languages, contrary to many analyses since Halle &amp; Marantz (1993).

Objectives. The objective of the study was to determine the features of competitive activities among national football teams based on the integral assessment of playing tactics.
Materials and methods. The study was conducted during the 2024 European Football Championship. The competitive activities of national football teams from European countries (Germany, Spain, England, Switzerland, France, Portugal, Netherlands, Turkey) were analyzed, focusing on the playing tactics in 50 halves. In order to carry out the study, the following methods were used: theoretical analysis of literature sources; pedagogical observation of competitive activities; analysis of video materials of competitive activities; methods of mathematical statistics. The statistical analysis of the research results was conducted using descriptive mathematical statistics. The sample was characterized by determining the arithmetic mean, standard deviation (S), and coefficient of variation (V). The significance of observed differences in the indicators was assessed using the parametric Student’s t-test for independent samples. Prior to this, the data’s conformity to a normal distribution was verified using the Shapiro-Wilk W-test.
Results. A methodology for the integral assessment of the tactics undertaken by national football teams was developed. The integral assessment of team tactics consisted of 10 specific coefficients that reflect the main components of football players’ competitive activities in the phases of ball possession and recovery. The competitive activities in 50 halves of the 2024 European Football Championship were analyzed. The average value of the integral assessment of the tactics in national football teams was determined to be 5.62 ± 0.43 points. The findings revealed significant tactical variations between the teams, with Spain’s use of high pressing and creative play contributing to their championship victory. A ten-point scale for evaluating the tactics of national football teams was developed, on the basis of which the level of competitive activities is interpreted.
Conclusions. The developed methodology for monitoring and analyzing the tactics of football teams allows for targeted management influences on the competitive activities of football players at the operational, current, and stage levels.
Next-Gen Surgery: AI Robots Leading the Way in Healthcare
Authors: Saman Aisha 
Published: October 2024

As human generations evolve, medical science and engineering have developed, and robotics have become an integral part of medicine from administrative duties to surgical procedures. In medical procedures, robotic systems support and enhance the accuracy and agility of human surgeons. This method is known as robotic surgery or robotic-assisted surgery (RAS). In the public health field, RAS plays an essential role due to its ability to improve surgical precision, lessen patient discomfort following surgery, and shorten hospital stays. In spite of the systems not being entirely self-contained, skilled surgeons use a console and specialized instruments to perform procedures that are more accurate and less invasive. Robots can help provide healthcare services such as monitoring vital signs, administering medications, and providing emotional support. The use of AI with robotics in healthcare has shown a remarkable rise in the past few years, particularly in rural India with limited access to healthcare providers and limited health resources. Urban and rural hospitals across the country can use artificial intelligence to manage tasks like surgery assistance, streamlining hospital logistics, and organizing routine checkups. The following considerations are the main causes of a surge in robotic help in the healthcare sector: (a) robots are hardworking; (b) they can withstand stress; (c) their grasping abilities; (d) they can do precise surgeries; and (e) they are capable of performing repetitive jobs. The present discourse delves into a few medical robotics applications, discussing their advantages, disadvantages, and possible avenues for future research and development.
La pedagogía de Alfonso de Castro en sus homilías sobre el Salmo 50 / Alfonso de Castro’s pedagogy in his homilies on Psalm 50
Authors: Álvarez Alonso José Félix 
Published: October 2024

El error protestante requería para contrarrestarlo de una predicación sólida que transmitiese fielmente la recta doctrina católica. Alfonso de Castro O. F. M se convirtió en un paladín de este cometido gracias a unas dotes oratorias que le llevaron a ser predicador real de la mano de Felipe II. Gran parte de ese éxito se debe a la utilización por parte del fraile franciscano de una pedagogía concreta heredada de su labor como docente en las aulas salmantinas del Convento de San Francisco. En el presente artículo repasamos los mecanismos pedagógicos que el autor utiliza en las cinco primeras homilías dedicadas al miserere para tratar de modelar discursivamente la doctrina y hacerla asequible para el auditorio.The protestant error in order to be counteracted required of a solid preaching whic transmit exactly the severe Catholic doctrine. Alfonso de Castro M. F. O. became an expert in this task thanks to oratorical skills that led him to be the Royal Preacher under Felipe II’s leadership. The majority of his success is due to this Franciscan Friar’s use of a particular pedagogy inherited from his job as a teacher at San Francisco Monastery in Salamanca. In this article the pedagogical devices used by the author in the first five homilies are reviewed. They were devoted to Miserere to try to model the doctrine discursively and make it accessible to the audience.Palabras clave: Alfonso de Castro, Orden Franciscana, Pedagogía, Predicación, Penitencia, Misericordia.Keywords: Alfonso de Castro, Franciscan Order, Pedagogy, Preaching, Penance, Mercy.DOI: http://dx.medra.org/10.17398/1886-4945.10.31

HighlightsAdherence to CPAP therapy in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea and cardiovascular diseases can be predicted using a model that includes the desaturation index and anxiety. Aim. To evaluate the results of CPAP therapy (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) in cardiac patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and to identify factors predicting adherence to CPAP therapy using prospective follow-up data.Methods. The study included 52 patients with severe OSA (82.7% men, 55.6 ± 8.8 years) examined in 2019–2022, the data was collected from the registry of cardiac patients with OSA (n = 138). Arterial hypertension was diagnosed in 96.1% of patients, coronary artery disease (CAD) was diagnosed in 42.3% of patients, chronic heart failure was diagnosed in 86.5% of patients. Clinical and laboratory parameters, data from OSA screening scales, overnight pulse oximetry, diagnostic scales of anxiety, depression, quality of life and cognitive function were assessed before the start of CPAP therapy and 12.3 ± 7.0 months after its start. 8 patients adequately used CPAP therapy (group with CPAP) and 44 patients either refused to use it or used it inadequately (group without CPAP).Results. When comparing the groups at baseline, there were no differences in age, gender, body mass index and clinical characteristics. Predictors of adherence to CPAP therapy were a higher desaturation index (odds ratio (OR) 1.264, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.017–1.569, p = 0.034) and manifestations of anxiety (OR 1.056, 95% CI 1.01–1.115, p = 0.049). The sensitivity of the model was 85.7%, specificity was 78%, and area under the ROC curve was 0.843 (95% CI 0.712–0.974, p = 0.004). There were no new cases of CAD in the group with CPAP, in the group without CPAP, 5 new cases of CAD developed during follow-up.Conclusion. Adherence to CPAP therapy in patients with severe OSA and cardiovascular disease can be predicted with high sensitivity and specificity using the model that includes the desaturation index and anxiety. Supposedly, CPAP therapy is relevant for secondary prevention of coronary artery disease.

Highlights Telomere length in patients with coronary artery disease is shorter compared to the telomere length of healthy individuals.Telomeric regions of DNA in patients with coronary artery disease do not recover over time.Telomere length in atherogenesis negatively correlates with markers of cardiovascular diseases and inflammatory process. Aim. To assess the impact of changes in the length of telomeric regions of chromosomes on the course of coronary artery disease caused by coronary artery atherosclerosis in the population of residents of a coal-mining region.Methods. The study included 60 patients with coronary artery disease (before surgery and five years after) and 52 healthy participants. We isolated the DNA using the standard phenol-chloroform extraction method. We used the quantitative PCR method to measure the relative length of leukocyte telomeres and analyzed biochemical parameters using standard methods, selecting cytokine proteins as markers of the inflammatory process.Results. Telomeres in healthy participants were seven times longer compared to patients with coronary artery disease. At the same time, the length of telomeric regions of DNA did not differ in patients before surgery and after 5 years of rehabilitation. We used ROC analysis to determine the effectiveness of measuring telomeres as a marker of atherosclerosis. The area under the ROC curve was 0.998 ± 0.002. We found an inverse correlation between the telomere length and such parameters as the total body sodium, triglycerides and high-density lipoproteins. We noted a significant inverse correlation between such indicators of the lipid profile as triglycerides and high-density lipoproteins only in patients before surgery. The study results revealed direct and inverse dependence of the length of telomeres and cytokines such as IL-33 and IL-10, respectively.Conclusion. Supposedly, inflammatory processes and oxidative stress, complementing each other, are the causes of irreparable damage to telomeres, accelerating the aging process and leading to irreversible consequences in atherogenesis.
