Speech and sign: the whole human language
Authors: Sandler Wendy 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
After more than sixty years of research, it is now widely accepted that sign languages are real languages, sharing key properties with spoken languages. This means that spoken and signed languages together comprise one natural language system in some sense. But that is not the whole story. Here I probe more deeply into the two systems, and focus on the differences between them -- differences that are pervasive, systematic, and predictable. Taking the existence of two identical articulators in sign languages, the two hands, as a case in point, I show how the physical channel of transmission profoundly influences linguistic structure. Further support for the characterization of language proposed here, different systems in the same faculty, comes from the newly emerging sign language of the Al-Sayyid Bedouins. The Whole Human Language can only be fully understood by admitting and elaborating two types of language in one language faculty, and by acknowledging the fundamental role of the body in determining language form.
O WHISTLEBLOWING COMO INSTRUMENTO DE COMBATE À CORRUPÇÃO: UMA ANÁLISE À LUZ DOS PRINCÍPIOS DO REGIME DEMOCRÁTICO
Authors: De Souza Luiza Pessoa Oliveira 
Published: July 2024

Resumo: O presente artigo visa demonstrar em que medida o whistleblowing opera como instrumento de combate contra a corrupção à luz dos princípios da democracia, considerando, principalmente, a importância da participação popular na política do Estado. Para tanto, o instituto será analisado na prática, a partir de legislações estrangeiras, bem como os institutos legais brasileiros que mais se aproximam no whistleblowing. Outrossim, contextualizar-se-á a participação popular na democracia do Estado, com análise dos requisitos do processo democrático e das vantagens da democracia, dando especial enfoque ao direito ao desenvolvimento, sendo a corrupção uma violação deste direito, cujo fomento é consequência favorável da democracia. Trata-se de investigação qualitativa majoritariamente descritiva, efetivada por meio de ampla pesquisa bibliográfica, através da qual se conclui que o whistleblowing é instrumento válido de combate à corrupção que se alinha a preceitos democráticos, especialmente no que diz respeito ao princípio de participação popular no processo político. Palavras-chaves: Whistleblowing. Democracia. Corrupção. Abstract: The following essay has the goal of demonstrating how whistleblowing functions as an instrument to combat corruption in the light of the principles of Democracy, especially considering the importance of popular participation in State’s political issues. For this purpose, through bibliographical research, whistleblowing will be analyzed in a practical manner, with an approach of foreign whistleblowing laws, and to similar Brazilian legal mechanisms.

Waves is one of the Physics materials that must be mastered and understood. Students need help describing the mechanism of wave movement, so it is necessary to develop a test instrument tailored to the scientific field of Biology. Therefore, the study aimed to develop a Wave conceptual knowledge test instrument that can be used to train and measure the mastery of Physics concepts of the Wave topic of Biology Department students that meet the instrument's feasibility, including content validity, reliability, and difficulty level. This research uses the 4D development model (Four-D models), which consists of four stages: Define, Design, Development, and Disseminate. Instruments-based feasibility is based on content validity, test reliability, and difficulty level. Based on the study results, the instruments developed were based on indicators of achievement of Physics competencies for Biology Department students. The content was adjusted to the field of Biology, namely the concept of waves in the human and animal hearing system. The test instrument met the criteria, namely content validity, test reliability, and difficulty level, so this instrument can be used to train and measure the physics concept mastery of Biology students. The wave topic adapted to the scientific field of Biology can help Biology students understand the wave concepts correctly.
A rudimentary analogy-based model of how syntactic constructions emerge from linguistic experience
Authors: Lagos Mátyás 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThis paper highlights theoretical issues in construction grammar and presents a simple computational language model as a preliminary solution to these issues. The specific issues dealt with are the lack of explicit definition of syntactic categories and the lack of explicit proposals regarding how constructions can be learned from linguistic experience. The proposed language model, called the “analogical path model”, learns two-word syntactic patterns from sentences by finding distributional analogies between word pairs. The theoretical relevance and implications of the analogical path model are discussed at the end of the paper.

Published: July 2024

AbstractManufacturing ceramic green structures using starch consolidation casting is an established process that is simple, non-hazard, and low-cost. In this study, starch consolidation casting is used to prepare ceramics based on submicron monoclinic zirconia with additions of alumina and magnesia. Scanning electron microscopy results indicate that the size of pores decreased and the morphological irregularity increased when the tapioca starch content increased. The sample with 30 wt.% tapioca starch in a 55 wt.% slurry concentration had the highest estimated apparent porosity (around 56%), whereas the sample with 10 wt.% in a 68 wt.% suspension concentration had the lowest (about 35%).

Background: Uncorrected refractive errors are a major cause of blindness and low vision. Determination of the etiology is essential in planning appropriate treatment modalities. Aim of this study was to determine the correlation between axial length and corneal power with refractive status of patients with refractive error in Kano, Nigeria.
Methods: Observational cross-sectional study in which 385 eligible patients were recruited. Relevant history was obtained from the patients and ocular examination was done. Objective and Subjective refraction were performed. Spherical equivalent was calculated for patients with astigmatism. Keratometric readings (k1 and k2) and measurement of axial length were taken. Data was analyzed using the statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 22.
Results: Statistically significant inverse association (r=-1.7, r2=56.8%, p<0.0001) was found between Spherical equivalent objective refraction and axial length of right eye. Statistically significant inverse association (r=-1.2, r2=53.3%, p<0.0001) was found between Spherical equivalent subjective refraction and axial length of right eye. Statistically significant inverse association (r=-0.5, r2=8.5%, p<0.0001) was found between spherical equivalent objective refraction and corneal power of the right eye. Statistically significant inverse association (r=-0.3, r2=6.4%, p<0.0001) was found between spherical equivalent subjective refraction and Corneal power of right eye. Negative correlation existed between axial length and corneal power but was not statistically significant (r=-0.0, p<0.4).
Conclusions: The study established that axial length and corneal power are the determinants of refractive status and that axial length is a stronger determinant.
Left site perforated appendicitis associated to midgut malrotation in a patient in the third decade of life: a case report
Authors: Hernandez-Licona Jennifer , Martin Hernández Jesus Antonio , Cutipa-Flores Gainsborough Gonzalo 
Published: June 2024

Acute appendicitis represents the most common surgical emergency in the world. Clinically, it presents with pain in the right iliac fossa. One third of patients presents with pain in another location, secondary to the variability of the anatomical position of the appendix. Acute left appendix is a very rare pathology, and it is commonly associated with congenital anomalies such as intestinal malrotation or situs inversus. The patient in this case, a 30-year-old male, presented with abdominal pain in the epigastrium which later radiated to the hypogastrium. Initially with a diagnosis of suspected gastroenteritis, with no improvement with treatment, it was decided to perform an abdominal tomography, where the left cecal appendix was observed, with increased diameter, associated with signs of midgut malrotation. Diagnostic laparoscopy was performed, and no appendix was identified. It converted to open surgery, revealing small intestine on the right side, colon on the left side and perforated left cecal appendix. Acute left appendicitis it should be suspected early to avoid delay in diagnosis and treatment, and to avoid future complications. Abdominal tomography is a highly sensitive diagnostic tool in the case of acute appendicitis associated with intestinal malrotation. Laparoscopy is the first choice in suspected left appendicitis, but the surgeon must take into account the difficulties that may arise during the procedure, the time of evolution and not delay definitive treatment; it must also decide when open surgery is necessary.

Published: June 2024

As a social media platform, X (formerly Twitter) has become a massive source of real-time, unstructured data, providing valuable insights into people's opinions on various issues. One crucial social phenomenon that has attracted attention on social media is the discourse around abstention (commonly known as “golput” in Indonesia) in the context of the presidential election. Abstention refers to the deliberate act of refusing to vote. Understanding the patterns, preferences, and topics associated with abstention discourse can provide valuable knowledge for political analysis. This study aims to discover knowledge based on patterns, sentiment polarization, and issues from unstructured X data to understand the discourse surrounding abstention in the 2024 Indonesian presidential election. The methodology involves collecting data from the X API, conducting Social Network Analysis (SNA) to analyze the social structure, preprocessing the data, and searching for the best sentiment analysis model through hyperparameter tuning on six Machine Learning (ML) models. Then, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is employed with coherence score evaluation to identify topics related to the issue. The results indicate that 2,489 tweets discussing abstention were collected during the study period, exhibiting varied daily trends. SNA analysis reveals the formation of clusters within the dataset, alongside the identification of influential actors through three different centrality calculations. The sentiment analysis results show that the Logistic Regression (LR) model with count vectorizer is the best-performing model, with a predominance of positive sentiment polarity over negative sentiment. Evaluation of LDA using coherence scores indicates the presence of five topics related to abstention. This research contributes to knowledge discovery on the X platform by providing valuable insights into the discourse surrounding abstention in the Indonesian presidential election. These findings offer a deeper understanding of public opinion, political engagement, and election dynamics.
