AbstractNickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) contamination have become major threats to plant survival worldwide. 24-epibrassinolide (24-EBR) and melatonin (MT) have emerged as valuable treatments to alleviate heavy metal-induced phytotoxicity. However, plants have not fully demonstrated the potential mechanisms by which these two hormones act under Ni and Cu stress. Herein, this study investigated the impact of individual and combined application of 24-EBR and MT on the growth and physiological traits of Primula forbesii Franch. subjected to stress (200 μmol L–1 Ni and Cu). The experiments compared the effects of different mitigation treatments on heavy metal (HM) stress and the scientific basis and practical reference for using these exogenous substances to improve HM resistance of P. forbesii in polluted environments. Nickel and Cu stress significantly hindered leaf photosynthesis and nutrient uptake, reducing plant growth and gas exchange. However, 24-EBR, MT, and 24-EBR + MT treatments alleviated the growth inhibition caused by Ni and Cu stress, improved the growth indexes of P. forbesii, and increased the gas exchange parameters. Exogenous MT effectively alleviated Ni stress, and 24-EBR + MT significantly alleviated the toxic effects of Cu stress. Unlike HM stress, MT and 24-EBR + MT activated the antioxidant enzyme activity (by increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT)), significantly reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, and regulated ascorbate and glutathione cycle (AsA-GSH) efficiency. Besides, the treatments enhanced the ability of P. forbesii to accumulate HMs, shielding plants from harm. These findings conclusively illustrate the capability of 24-EBR and MT to significantly bolster the tolerance of P. forbesii to Ni and Cu stress.
Unveiling the key role of metal coordination mode and ligand's side groups on the performance of deep-red light-emitting electrochemical cell

Published: July 2024

AbstractThree novel deep-red to near-infrared (DR to NIR) emitters based on mononuclear and dinuclear ruthenium(II) complexes with bulky structures were presented herein. For the first time, the unusual effects of metal coordination mode on the electroluminescence properties of a binuclear emitter were investigated. Unexpectedly, the mononuclear complexes showed superior performance in deep-red light-emitting electrochemical cells (DR-LEC) compared to the dinuclear complex. Likewise, substituting various ancillary ligands improved the radiance and lifetime of devices by 2.5 and 1.5 times, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, the obtained efficiency is among the best reported to date for DR-LECs based on ruthenium polypyridyl complexes.

AbstractMitophagy must be carefully regulated to ensure that cells maintain appropriate numbers of functional mitochondria. The SCFFBXL4 ubiquitin ligase complex suppresses mitophagy by controlling the degradation of BNIP3 and NIX mitophagy receptors, and FBXL4 mutations result in mitochondrial disease as a consequence of elevated mitophagy. Here, we reveal that the mitochondrial phosphatase PPTC7 is an essential cofactor for SCFFBXL4-mediated destruction of BNIP3 and NIX, suppressing both steady-state and induced mitophagy. Disruption of the phosphatase activity of PPTC7 does not influence BNIP3 and NIX turnover. Rather, a pool of PPTC7 on the mitochondrial outer membrane acts as an adaptor linking BNIP3 and NIX to FBXL4, facilitating the turnover of these mitophagy receptors. PPTC7 accumulates on the outer mitochondrial membrane in response to mitophagy induction or the absence of FBXL4, suggesting a homoeostatic feedback mechanism that attenuates high levels of mitophagy. We mapped critical residues required for PPTC7–BNIP3/NIX and PPTC7-FBXL4 interactions and their disruption interferes with both BNIP3/NIX degradation and mitophagy suppression. Collectively, these findings delineate a complex regulatory mechanism that restricts BNIP3/NIX-induced mitophagy.
Extending Double Empathy: Effects of Neurotype-Matching on Communication Success in an Expository Context
Authors: Oates Morgan , Bean Allison , Kickbusch Rachel , Sauer Sam 
Published: July 2024

Purpose:
Milton's theory of double empathy posits that the difference in communication styles between people of different neurotypes contributes to mutual misunderstandings. The current quasi-experimental study seeks to expand on research indicating that matched neurotype pairs tend to communicate more effectively than mixed neurotype pairs by examining communication across and within neurotypes in an expository language context.

Method:
Thirty autistic adults and 28 nonautistic adults were paired in either a matched neurotype or mixed neurotype condition. The pairs' interactions involved giving and listening to directions to draw an image. Interactions were recorded, transcribed, and coded for communication accuracy, rate, and clarity. Participants also completed a survey about the rapport they experienced in the interaction.

Results:
Matched neurotype pairs were significantly more accurate in their communication than mixed neurotype pairs. Rate was fastest among mixed neurotype pairs, but clarity did not differ significantly across conditions. Matched autistic pairs reported significantly lower rapport than other pairs.

Conclusions:
This finding lends further support to the neurodiversity model by demonstrating that autistic communication is not inherently deficient. Further research is necessary to investigate a variety of influences on rate, clarity, and rapport development. Clinical implications include considerations for neurodiversity-affirming communication supports for expository contexts such as classroom directions or workplace instructions.

Authors: Smith Leann Schow , Brinker Kristin , Jones Courtney E. , Ray Melanie Hanny , Taylor Helene M. , Gardiner Rachel Turner , Sauer Tina M. 
Published: July 2024

Purpose/Method:
The videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) is an instrumental exam for patients with dysphagia. Analysis of images generated during the study leads to diagnosis of swallowing events/physiology and the generation of treatment plans. As critical as the reading of images are to the VFSS, there exist multiple additional considerations for successfully conducting the study with pediatric patients. Due to difficulties inherent in testing infants and children, the pediatric VFSS poses implementation challenges. Speech-language pathologists may facilitate pediatric patients in issues of feeding engagement, crying, volume consumed, bolus size, and method.

Results/Conclusion:
Facilitative techniques during pediatric VFSS benefit the obtaining of accurate diagnostic results to guide pediatric feeding disorder management and recommendations.
Solution approaches to the three-index assignment problem
Authors: Mehbali Mohamed 
Published: July 2024

This paper delves into the axial Three-index Assignment Problem (3IAP), alternatively known as the Multi-dimensional Assignment Problem, defined as an extension of the classical two-dimensional assignment problem. The 3IAP entails allocating $n$ tasks to $n$ machines in $n$ factories, ensuring one task is completed by one machine in one factory at a minimum total cost. This combinatorial optimization problem is classified as \emph{NP}-hard due to its inherent complexity and being the subject of much scholarly research and investigation.
The study employs an algorithmic approach to devise rapid and effective solutions for the 3IAP. A new heuristic Greedy-style Procedure (GSP) is introduced for solving the 3IAP, achieving feasible solutions within polynomial time. Particular configurations of cost matrices enable us to reach quality solutions. Examining tie-cases and matrix ordering unveiled innovative variants. Further investigation of cost matrix attributes facilitates the development of two new heuristic categories, offering optimal or nearly optimal solutions for the 3IAP.
Extensive numerical experiments validate the effectiveness of the heuristics, generating quality solutions in a short computational time. Furthermore, we implement two potent methods using optimization solvers, achieving optimal solutions for the 3IAP within competitive CPU times.

Published: July 2024

ZusammenfassungIm Jahre 2004 veröffentlichte die Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Notärzte in Nordrhein-Westfalen (AGNNW) eine Umfrage zu Berufszufriedenheit und subjektivem Fortbildungsstand der Notärztinnen und Notärzte in Nordrhein-Westfalen (NRW). Im Rahmen von anstehenden Reformvorhaben auf politischer Ebene und von Umbauprozessen der prähospitalen und innerklinischen Notfallmedizin spielt der aktuelle Istzustand der Berufszufriedenheit und ein potenzieller Notarztmangel eine bedeutende Rolle.In Anlehnung an die Umfrage von vor 20 Jahren wurde eine erneute anonymisierte Befragung im Onlineformat durchgeführt. Ergänzend wurden in einer anonymen Umfrage die Gebietskörperschaften bezüglich aktueller Personalengpässen der notarztbesetzten Einsatzmittel befragt.Im Jahr 2023 nahmen 635 Notärztinnen und Notärzte an der Umfrage zur subjektiven Berufszufriedenheit und Fortbildungsstand teil (2004: n = 666). Insgesamt 88,5% der Teilnehmenden äußerten eine subjektive Berufszufriedenheit und 95,4% eine hohe Zufriedenheit bezüglich der Zusammenarbeit mit dem Rettungsdienstfachpersonal. Insbesondere im Bereich der prähospitalen Geburt und der Notfallkoniotomie zeigte sich ein Fortbildungsbedarf. Bei der Auswertung möglicher Personalengpässe in den Gebietskörperschaften waren 92% der notarztbesetzten Einsatzmittel immer besetzt bzw. nur gelegentlich (< 4 pro Monat für mehr als 4 Stunden) unbesetzt.Insgesamt zeigt die aktuelle Online-Umfrage aus 2023 eine hohe subjektive Berufszufriedenheit der Notärztinnen und Notärzten in NRW. Dennoch konnte klar ein bestehender notärztlicher Fortbildungsbedarf identifiziert werden. Hinsichtlich von Ausstattungsmerkmalen besteht nur bezüglich der Vorhaltung von Sonografiegeräten und Blutgasanalysegeräten aktueller Handlungsbedarf. Unter Berücksichtigung der aktuellen Diskussionen zur Gesundheits- und Krankenhausreform sind in NRW insgesamt nur geringe Ausfälle von notarztbesetzten Einsatzmitteln zu verzeichnen.
(Re)contextualizing the ‘anti-woke’ discourse
Authors: Johnson Paige 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThis study examines how ‘anti-woke’ discourse is drawn upon by French and English-speaking X (formerly Twitter) users to abnormalize gender-inclusive language practices from a Critical Discourse Analytic (CDA) perspective (Fairclough 2010). Using strategies and tools drawn from the Discourse Historical Approach (Wodak and Reisigl 2017) and CDA (interdiscursivity and recontextualization), I compare and discuss how ‘woke’ is (re)appropriated within online arenas across both linguo-cultural contexts to other and undermine those invested in challenging gender-based discrimination(s). Responses, therefore, contribute to a broader right-wing (populist) project that substantiates the uncivil and ‘unsayable’ by subverting the civil and ‘sayable’ amid the emergence of borderline discourses (Krzyżanowski and Ledin 2017). I conclude that ‘anti-woke’ discourse has become a symbolic catch-all discursive strategy to bolster far right attitudes at the expense of abnormalizing the struggles faced by marginalized genders. This analysis thus provides further insight into how discriminatory ideologies become more viable political alternatives through rhetorical and discursive phenomena (Wodak 2015).
A comparative study of the basic locative construction in Gurenɛ, Asante-Twi, and Tongugbe
Authors: Atintono Samuel A. , Agyepong Dorothy , Kpoglu Promise 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The chapter examines the basic locative construction (BLC) in three Niger Congo languages spoken in
Ghana: Gurenɛ, Asante-Twi and Tongugbe, and discusses the semantics of the verbs that occur within the construction.
Using data elicited with a similar set of locative verb stimuli, we demonstrate that the languages differ in the
number and type of verbs that occur in the BLC. While Asante-Twi and Gurenɛ employ mostly positional verbs in the BLC,
Tongugbe, similar to the other Ewe varieties, uses the locative predicate. Constructionally, the BLCs in all three
languages are similar, that is, each of the languages instantiate the schema NP V PostP.
Moving from verbs to prepositions in Gbe
Authors: Aboh Enoch O. , Ameka Felix , Essegbey James 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Gbe languages have two classes of adpositions, namely prepositions and postpositions that have been
argued to have developed from verbs and nouns, respectively. Focusing on the former, we highlight the functions of the
forms across Gbe using examples from Eastern Gbe (e.g., Gungbe) and Western Gbe (e.g., Ewegbe). We further show that
verb-to-preposition shift is gradual: some of the forms (e.g., ablative) are not fully grammaticalised in all the
languages. Likewise, the process is associated with a semantic change from “temporal predicate” in Serial Verb
Constructions (SVC) to a more abstract atemporal predicate, which is also reflected in the loss of the power of the
verbal element to take aspectual inflections or markers.
The eventive functional sequence
Authors: Kotowski Ryan J. S. , Aboh Enoch O. , Don Jan 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The Kwa languages (Niger-Congo) of West Africa are well-known for displaying Serial Verb
Constructions (SVCs). The literature on SVCs contains various definitions of the phenomenon and recapitulates the
general observation that these constructions express fine-grained information about a complex event and the
participants involved therein. This paper seeks to shed light on the structure that underlies Take and Give SVCs in
Gungbe, a Gbe (Kwa) language spoken in Benin and Nigeria. The examples discussed in the paper demonstrate how Gungbe
is able to employ SVCs to encode specific details about the eventive structure. The proposed analysis further sheds
light on elements which were classified in the Kwa literature as ‘verbid’ (cf. Ansre 1966) for their ambiguous status between adpositions and lexical verbs. It is argued that the
ambiguity reduces to the nature of roots and their functions in Gungbe: the same root can occupy different grammatical
functions.
Reduced complements
Authors: Sulemana Abdul-Razak 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This paper discusses a set of constructions I call Reduced Complements (RCs). These are
constructions where a verb directly follows another verb making them a subcategory of serial verb constructions
(SVCs). Following an approach to restructuring where size reduction arises if not all domains of the clause are
projected, I argue that RCs are projections of VP. Thus, RCs are VP complements.
From injecting to planting
Authors: Essegbey James 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Ewe, like many Kwa languages, has very few verbs. Some of them are said to be meaningless or light
because they either do not have a translation equivalent in Standard Average European languages (SAE) or, where they
do, they appear on the surface to have several meanings. In this paper, I discuss one of these verbs, namely dó.
Although Westermann (1933) has only one entry for dó, he provides more than 20 subentries all with
different categories of internal arguments. The entries include ‘to stretch out’, ‘trade’, ‘lend’, ‘fix a price’, and
‘plant. Rongier (2015), on the other hand, has more than a hundred entries for dó. Following Ameka
(2019), I argue that while the multiple interpretations are presented in the dictionaries as though they are different
meanings, they are actually contextual interpretations. I argue that when the argument structure constructions in
which the verb occurs, and the semantics of the arguments with which it occurs are taken into consideration, many of
the different interpretations that are provided for dó fall out from one invariant meaning.
Remarks on nominalised adjectives in Gã
Authors: Korsah Sampson 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This paper offers a new perspective on the derivation and distribution of nominalised adjectives
in Gã. It claims that they are formed by combining an adjectival base and the nominaliser morpheme e‑. Observing that
the nominaliser has a variant, the paper argues that the occurrence of the two allomorphs is phonologically
constrained. In respect of their distribution, the paper argues that properties like number and agreement marking and
co-occurrence with determiners suggest that they are true nominals. Nonetheless, we can clearly distinguish them from
other morpho-syntactic units in similar structural positions. The paper also provides new empirical insights for
reassessing hitherto assumptions about the distribution of such nominals, including their ability to occur as
complement of copulas and depictives.
Physical and chemical characteristics of plasma-activated water generated by hybrid dielectric barrier discharge and gliding arc discharge
Authors: Azevedo Neto Nilton F , Miranda Felipe S , Moreira Junior Pedro W P , Gomes Marcelo P , Junior Clodomiro Alves , Koga-Ito Cristiane Y , Pessoa Rodrigo S 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This research explores the synergistic application of Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) and Gliding Arc Plasma Jet (GAPJ) in a Hybrid Plasma Discharge (HPD) setup for enhanced water activation. The HPD system demonstrated balanced and sustained generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), maintaining efficiency at higher specific input energy (SIE) values. Comparative analyses with DBD and GAPJ systems highlighted the superior performance of the HPD system in generating RONS and modifying water’s molecular structure. Key observations included a decrease in water’s pH and an increase in oxidation-reduction potential, total dissolved solids, and conductivity, stabilizing beyond 5 l min−1 airflow and 10 min of treatment. UV−Vis spectroscopy identified nitrites, nitrates, hydrogen peroxide, and nitrous acid, while Raman spectroscopy captured shifts in vibrational modes, particularly in librational and O–H stretching bands. These changes correlated with alterations in reactive species concentrations and pH levels. Overall, the HPD system emerged as a versatile and efficient approach for generating plasma-activated water, suitable for applications in microbial deactivation, surface sterilization, and electrocatalytic process optimization, offering stable and continuous production of reactive species across a range of SIE values.
A compressed sensing random measurement matrix construction method: block sparse random measurement matrix
Authors: Yu Yaofu , Zhang Zhen , Lin Weiguo 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Compressed sensing (CS) has shown a huge advantage on data compressing and transmission, and designing a suitable measurement matrix is helpful for performance of the CS. Recently, traditional CS measurement matrices have been well applied in many fields, however, there are still problems, such as long construction time, large storage space, and poor real-time performance. Aiming at above problems, combining the advantages of sparse measurement matrix and identity matrix, a new construction method of measurement matrix named Block Sparse Random Measurement Matrix (BSRMM) is proposed. The proposed matrix satisfies restricted isometry property with high probability, has faster construction speed, smaller storage space, and is easy to implement. Finally, the compressed sampling process with the BSRMM is implemented on a wireless sensor node with microprocessor STM32F407, and a good reconstruction effect is achieved on the simulated leak signals from a small gas pipeline network, which verifies the effectiveness of the BSRMM.
Research on high-precision angular measurement based on machine learning and optical vortex interference technology
Authors: Zhang Xiaoxia , Zhao Donge , Ma Yayun , Yang Xuefeng , Chu Wenbo 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The paper innovatively constructs a regression prediction model based on the Stacking ensemble learning algorithm by utilizing the distortion degree of vortex optical interference patterns, achieving high-precision measurement of small angles. It constructs a regression prediction model based on the Stacking ensemble learning algorithm. Initially, in the spiral optical conjugate interference system, minute variations in the optical axis yield corresponding interference patterns, within an angle range of 0.0006° to 0.3°. The angle formed between the centroids of the upper two petals in the deformed interference patterns and the center is extracted as a feature for feature extraction. A dataset is established and randomly divided into training, validation, and testing sets in a 6:2:2 ratio. Subsequently, four models—support vector regression, particle swarm optimization back propagation, Gaussian process regression, and the stacking ensemble algorithm—are optimized for hyperparameters, trained, and evaluated based on coefficients of determination, root mean square error, and mean absolute error to compare their predictive performance. Through multiple rounds of training and prediction on randomly partitioned datasets, it is evident that the ensemble model exhibits a reduction in relative error compared to single learners, demonstrating that the Stacking-based ensemble algorithm can combine the strengths of base learners, showcasing superior predictive performance and enhanced stability. Moreover, the Stacking ensemble model achieves a measurement precision of 0.0006°, with a relative error maintained within 0.6%, indicating the feasibility of achieving high-precision measurement of tiny angles in the optical axis using machine learning and spiral optical conjugate interference systems.
