Perception of incompletely neutralized voicing cues in word-final obstruents: The role of differences in production context
Authors: Kharlamov Viktor 
Published: June 2015

AbstractExperimental data on final devoicing in languages such as German and Russian usually show that speakers produce incompletely neutralized acoustic differences between words ending in phonologically voiced versus voiceless obstruents (e.g., /kod/ ‘code’ vs. /kot/ ‘cat’ in Russian) and that listeners can use these differences to identify the underlying specification of final consonants at an above-chance level. The current study examines how the seemingly successful perceptual identification of voicing varies across stimulus items recorded in reading vs. non-reading procedures and with and without full minimal pairs present in the experimental list. Results of a series of identification tasks reveal that Russian listeners’ identification responses are more in line with underlying voicing for the stimuli recorded during word-reading and with minimal pairs included among the experimental items. This shows that voicing judgments are strongly influenced by the acoustic differences produced when speakers encounter orthographic forms or lexical competition. At the same time, perceptual neutralization is also not complete for the items recorded without such exposure, which indicates that listeners’ ability to recover underlying voicing is not limited to the production contexts involving written forms or minimal pairs.

Gesundheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit Migrationshintergrund in Deutschland. Ausgewählte Ergebnisse der KiGGS-Studie
Authors: Ellert Ute , Brettschneider Anna-Kristin , Schenk Liane 
Published: June 2015

Zusammenfassung
Ein knappes Drittel der unter 18-jährigen Bevölkerung Deutschlands (29,1% laut Mikrozensus 2009) wächst in Familien mit Migrationshintergrund auf. Zum großen Teil sind diese Kinder und Jugendlichen nicht selbst nach Deutschland zugewandert, sondern in der zweiten oder auch dritten Generation einer zugewanderten Familie geboren. Dennoch prägt der Migrationshintergrund in spezifischer Art ihre Lebenswelt und gesundheitliche Lage, wenngleich sich Unterschiede je nach Herkunftsland, Geschlecht, Alter, Sozialstatus und Aufenthaltsdauer bzw. Einwanderergeneration konstatieren lassen. Damit sind Gesundheitschancen und Krankheitsrisiken auch innerhalb der Migrantenpopulation ungleich verteilt.
Migration und Frauengesundheit – komplexe Zusammenhänge erschließen
Authors: Borde Theda 
Published: June 2015

Zusammenfassung:
Die Frauengesundheitsforschung hat maßgeblich dazu beigetragen, eine geschlechtersensiblere Forschungs- und Versorgungspraxis zu etablieren. Schwerfälliger und komplizierter ist es beim Erkenntnisgewinn und dem Wissenschaft-Praxis-Transfer zum Thema Migration und Gesundheit. Die Kategorie „Migrationshintergrund“ ist weder geeignet, die Heterogenität der Immigrantinnen und ethnischen Minderheiten noch die Interaktion von gesundheitsrelevanten Migrationsfaktoren, Rassismus und sozioökonomischen Aspekten in ihrer Wechselwirkung mit Geschlecht und Ethnizität zu erschließen.
Teilnahme am Mammographie-Screening bei Frauen mit Migrationshintergrund
Authors: Berens Eva-Maria 
Published: June 2015

Zusammenfassung:
In Deutschland gibt es keine Teilnahmeunterschiede am Mammographie-Screening zwischen Migrantinnen und der Mehrheitsbevölkerung. Vor dem Hintergrund der kontroversen Diskussionen um die Vor- und Nachteile des Programms spielt jedoch die persönliche Freiheit einer informierten Entscheidung mit der Möglichkeit zur Ablehnung einer Teilnahme eine wichtige Rolle. Dieser Aspekt sollte bei Diskussionen um die Bewertung von Teilnahmeraten von Migrantinnen am Mammographie-Screening berücksichtig werden.
Migration und Gesundheit in der frühen Lebensphase am Beispiel der Adipositasentstehung und -prävention
Authors: Reeske-Behrens Anna 
Published: June 2015

Zusammenfassung
Trotz stagnierender Trends bei der kindlichen Adipositas in Deutschland und anderen europäischen Ländern sind Kinder mit Migrationshintergrund in westlichen Ländern (immer noch) besonders häufig von Übergewicht und Adipositas betroffen. Eine hohe Gestationsdiabetesinzidenz bei türkischstämmmigen Frauen und eine schnelle postnatale Gewichtszunahme bei Säuglingen aus türkischen Familien können ein Grundstein für die erhöhte Prävalenz von kindlichem Übergewicht in dieser Gruppe sein. Unter Berücksichtigung der sozialen, kulturellen und migrationsbedingten Besonderheiten in der Entstehung von Adipositas stellen die Förderung einer regelmäßigen Schwangerenvorsorge mit entsprechender Risikoberatung und die Sicherstellung eines adäquaten fetalen und postnatalen Wachstums wichtige Ziele früh im Lebenslauf ansetzender Präventionsmaßnahmen dar.

Zusammenfassung
Die Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg hat zum 1. Juli 2012 eine wesentliche Neuerung im Bereich der medizinischen Versorgung von Ausländerinnen und Ausländern eingeführt: Die Übertragung der medizinischen Versorgung von Leistungsberechtigten nach dem Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz (AsylbLG), die Anspruch auf Leistungen bei Krankheit, Schwangerschaft und Geburt bzw. sonstige Leistungen zur Sicherung der Gesundheit nach §§ 4 und 6 AsylbLG haben (Grundleistungsberechtigte), auf eine Krankenkasse. Dieses Modell ist – mit Ausnahme von Bremen – bundesweit einzigartig. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt die damit verbundenen Auswirkungen auf.
“Selling the Caribbean: An Introduction”
Authors: Mair Christian , Mühleisen Susanne , Pirker Eva Ulrike 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
Taking the cue from the widespread metaphorical use of economic concepts such as resources or markets in both sociolinguistics and cultural studies, the present introduction sets out to discuss more literal aspects of the financial value of languages and the economy of the literary marketplace in the – mostly ‘Anglophone’ – Caribbean. Globalization, in particular a globally operating media and entertainment industry, and increased mobility – both in the shape of migration from the Caribbean and tourism into the region – have led to the widespread commodification of the region’s natural, linguistic, and cultural resources. These developments have shaken up the traditional colonial and early post-colonial order but ushered in new inequalities. This introduction and the present special issue of ZAA explore the potential and dangers of this state of affairs from a cross-disciplinary perspective, bringing together approaches from (socio)linguistics, literary, and cultural studies.
Re-placing Wealth, Re-mapping Social Division: Kingston in the Fiction of Brian Meeks and Diana McCaulay
Authors: Scafe Suzanne 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
In this article I trace the geographies of poverty and wealth represented in two contemporary Jamaican novels, Brian Meeks’s Paint the Town Red (2003) and Diana McCaulay’s popular novel, Dog-Heart (2010), and argue that despite the emphasis on the seemingly fixed distance between rich and poor, these novels are also concerned to present spaces of interconnection and relations of intimacy that cross physically imposed borders. In both novels, the city is affectively mapped: its spaces produce many varied and contradictory emotions that in turn define those spaces and their inhabitants. Using the work of social geographers I focus on the texts’ interrogation of kindness, compassion and intimacy, and their effectiveness as a means of transforming individual lives that are, finally, defined by the social, economic, and political structures which produce the humiliation, rage, and violence that destroy lives.
Theban Graffito no. 1572 Rediscovered and Some New Texts from the “Valley of the Quarries”
Authors: Barwik Mirosław 
Published: June 2015

Summary
Four hitherto unpublished graffiti from the “Vallée des Carrières”, on the northern borders of the Theban necropolis, are presented in the paper. Two of them are explicitly dated to year 16 (of Smendes or Paynudjem I?), and were written by the well-known scribe of the necropolis Ankhefenamun, son of Buteh­amun. There are good reasons to suppose that the other texts belong approximately to the same period, when extensive activity of the necropolis staff can be noted in the available sources. Some of the names provided by the present graffiti are known also from other sources dating to the very beginning of the XXIst Dynasty. However, the reason for the visit of an inspecting party (?) in this remote part of the Theban necropolis remains wholly unknown.
Three New Deir el-Medina Absence Lists in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Authors: Hudson Stephanie E. 
Published: June 2015

Summary
This article presents three previously unpublished hieratic absence lists in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford: Ashmolean HO 563, Ashmolean HO 679, and Ashmolean HO 808. The ostraca date to the Nineteenth and Twentieth Dynasties and are identifiable as originating from the records of the Deir el-Medina workmen’s community. The texts record workmen’s names with reasons for absence from work on the royal tomb for particular days. Both individual and collective absence is expressed, using administrative phraseology attested in previously published absence documents. The ostraca are unprovenanced; however, the subject matter of the texts is suggestive of a worksite derivation. Moreover, the prosopographical data and content of one of the group, Ashmolean HO 808, makes it likely that it came originally from the Valley of the Kings.
The Meroitic “Initial a” Sign as Griffith’s Initial Aleph
Authors: Rowan Kirsty 
Published: June 2015

Summary
This paper reassesses the sound value of the Meroitic sign traditionally defined as ‘initial a’. This sign is termed ‘initial a’ due to its non-occurrence anywhere other than word-initially in the Meroitic script. A re-evaluation of the evidence for its representation indicates that this sign should be considered as a syllable sign comprised of a glottal stop and the inherent unmarked ‘a’ vowel. Therefore, this sign is likely to be representative of a CV sign, which was one of Griffith’s (1916) proposals, rather than a sign representing only a vowel of varying quality *V, as is currently assumed. As previous proposals for the sound value of this sign have heavily relied on Egyptian transcriptions, this paper reviews the discussions on the Egyptian transcriptions along with the relevant Egyptian phonemic values, and includes a proposal for a sound change process which contributes to the possible revision for the value of this sign.

Abstract
Paz, GA, Robbins, DW, de Oliveira, CG, Bottaro, M, and Miranda, H. Volume load and neuromuscular fatigue during an acute bout of agonist-antagonist paired-set vs. traditional-set training. J Strength Cond Res 31(10): 2777–2784, 2017—The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effects of performing paired-set (PS) vs. traditional-set (TS) training over 3 consecutive sets, on volume load and electromyographic fatigue parameters of the latissimus dorsi, biceps brachii, pectoralis major, and triceps brachii muscles. Fifteen trained men performed 2 testing protocols (TS and PS) using 10 repetition maximum loads. The TS protocol consisted of 3 sets of bench press (BP) followed by 3 sets of wide-grip seated row (SR). The PS consisted of 3 sets of BP and 3 sets of SR performed in an alternating manner. Volume load was calculated as load × repetitions. The electromyographic signal, time (C
RMS) and frequency (Cf5) domain, parameters were recorded during SR. Under the PS protocol, sets of SR were performed immediately after the sets of BP. A 2-minute rest interval between the completion of the set of SR and the subsequent set of BP was implemented (e.g., between PSs). Under the TS protocol, 2-minute rest intervals were implemented between all sets. BP and SR volume loads decreased significantly from set 1 to set 2 and from set 2 to set 3 under both conditions. Volume load was greater for all sets of both exercises under PS as compared with TS. Muscle fatigue indices were greater under PS as compared with TS. In general, these results indicate that as compared with TS, PS produced a greater training volume in less time and may induce greater fatigue and thereby provide an enhanced training stimulus.
Performance of a Diaphragm-Type Boundary Pressure Transducer Under Cyclic Loading

Published: June 2015

Abstract
Investigation of soil–structure interaction involves understanding of the complicated rheology and functioning of the pressure sensing devices. As earth pressure cell (EPC) output is used to interpret the stress in the soil at the point of installation of cell, experiments involving careful calibration of the pressure cells are very crucial. In view of the importance of in-soil calibration, the present study is focused on developing a relationship between the applied stress and the measured output, when the soil is subjected to cyclic loading. The effect of soil type and its thickness on pressure cell output under cyclic loading is studied using two types of soils: sand and kaolin, and soil layer thickness in the range of 0.25 DEPC to 2.5 DEPC, where DEPC is the diameter of the EPC. In-soil calibration under the application of cyclic loading demonstrated substantial hysteresis and reduction in the EPC sensitivity. Increase in residual stresses is observed to increase with soil thickness after the first cycle. It is also observed that the critical thickness for a given EPC is not a unique value, but varies with soil type.
Modulation of the Intracortical LFP during Action Execution and Observation

Published: June 2015

The activity of mirror neurons in macaque ventral premotor cortex (PMv) and primary motor cortex (M1) is modulated by the observation of another's movements. This modulation could underpin well documented changes in EEG/MEG activity indicating the existence of a mirror neuron system in humans. Because the local field potential (LFP) represents an important link between macaque single neuron and human noninvasive studies, we focused on mirror properties of intracortical LFPs recorded in the PMv and M1 hand regions in two macaques while they reached, grasped and held different objects, or observed the same actions performed by an experimenter. Upper limb EMGs were recorded to control for covert muscle activity during observation.The movement-related potential (MRP), investigated as intracortical low-frequency LFP activity (<9 Hz), was modulated in both M1 and PMv, not only during action execution but also during action observation. Moreover, the temporal LFP modulations during execution and observation were highly correlated in both cortical areas. Beta power in both PMv and M1 was clearly modulated in both conditions. Although the MRP was detected only during dynamic periods of the task (reach/grasp/release), beta decreased during dynamic and increased during static periods (hold).Comparison of LFPs for different grasps provided evidence for partially nonoverlapping networks being active during execution and observation, which might be related to different inputs to motor areas during these conditions. We found substantial information about grasp in the MRP corroborating its suitability for brain–machine interfaces, although information about grasp was generally low during action observation.

ObjectiveWe aimed to investigate the impact of hyponatremia severity on mortality risk and assess any evidence of a dose–response relation, utilizing prospectively collected data from population-based registries.DesignCohort study of 279 508 first-time acute admissions to Departments of Internal Medicine in the North and Central Denmark Regions from 2006 to 2011.MethodsWe used the Kaplan–Meier method (1 – survival function) to compute 30-day and 1-year mortality in patients with normonatremia and categories of increasing hyponatremia severity. Relative risks (RRs) with 95% CIs, adjusted for age, gender and previous morbidities, and stratified by clinical subgroups were estimated by the pseudo-value approach. The probability of death was estimated treating serum sodium as a continuous variable.ResultsThe prevalence of admission hyponatremia was 15% (41 803 patients). Thirty-day mortality was 3.6% in normonatremic patients compared to 7.3, 10.0, 10.4 and 9.6% in patients with serum sodium levels of 130–134.9, 125–129.9, 120–124.9 and <120 mmol/l, resulting in adjusted RRs of 1.4 (95% CI: 1.3–1.4), 1.7 (95% CI: 1.6–1.8), 1.7 (95% CI: 1.4–1.9) and 1.3 (95% CI: 1.1–1.5) respectively. Mortality risk was increased across virtually all clinical subgroups, and remained increased by 30–40% 1 year after admission. The probability of death increased when serum sodium decreased from 139 to 132 mmol/l. No clear increase in mortality was observed for lower concentrations.ConclusionsHyponatremia is highly prevalent among patients admitted to Departments of Internal Medicine and is associated with increased 30-day and 1-year mortality risk, regardless of underlying disease. This risk seems independent of hyponatremia severity.

Background & Aims: Monotherapy with standard or pegylated interferon (PegIFN) remains the first-line treatment for HCV infection in patients with thalassemia major (ßTM), although its long-term impact is still unknown. We aimed to assess the efficacy of IFN-a2b/PegIFN-a2b (one or multiple treatment sessions) and the predictors for sustained virological response (SVR) in HCV-infected βTM patients.Methods: Between 11/1992 and 12/2013 [median follow-up: 165.5 months (8-237)], 48 βTM HCV-infected patients [19 males, median age: 22 years (12-45)], received IFN-a2b (n=34) or PegIFN-a2b (n=14). Twenty-three patients (47.9%) had a previous splenectomy; 13/40 (32.5%) patients had Ishak stage ≥4 and 21/40 (52.5%) had siderosis grade 3-4. HCV-genotype was available in 36 patients (genotype 1: 47.2%, 2: 5.6%, 3: 25%, and 4: 22%). IL28B genotype was determined in 37 patients by means of in-house real-time PCR (CC: 27%, CT: 62.2%, TT: 10.8%).Results: Totally, 15/48 (31.3%) achieved SVR following the first treatment and 18/48 (37.5%) after multiple courses. Splenectomy (p=0.01) and fibrosis grade ≥4 (p<0.05) were negative predictors for SVR (first course), whereas splenectomy (p<0.05) and age >18 (p<0.02) for SVR after multiple courses. In HCV-genotype 1/4 (n=25), none of the patients with CT or TT IL28B genotype achieved SVR compared to 50% of the CC patients (p=0.004).Conclusions: Interferon is an effective therapeutic option in HCV-infected ßTM patients. IL28B genotype was a strong predictor for SVR, together with splenectomy, age and fibrosis.

Published: June 2015

Background & Aims: Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism. Alterations of copper metabolism have been associated with changes in coagulation factors. The aim of the present study was the analysis of coagulation factors in WD patients.Methods: 100 patients attending a tertiary WD outpatient clinic were analyzed in a prospective cross sectional cohort study. Out of peripheral venous blood samples coagulation factors were assessed including: full blood count, INR, partial thromboplastin time (PTT), clotting factors II, V, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, von Willebrand factor/-antigen, fibrinogen, antithrombin III, protein S, protein C, activated protein C (APC) resistance. Subgroup analyses of the blood tests were performed for sex, initial clinical presentation, WD treatment and liver function.Results: Subgroup analysis by liver function showed decreased levels of factors II, V, VII and X. Subgroup analysis by gender or clinical course of the disease did not reveal significant coagulation changes. In patients treated with trientine significantly decreased levels of factors II, VII and antithrombin III and increased von Willebrand factor/-antigen levels were detected. Factor VIII levels were significantly reduced in patients receiving zinc.Conclusion: Although significant differences of some coagulation parameters in subgroup analysis were found, no clinically relevant alterations of the coagulation system in WD patients could be detected.
