Number fission from a formal and functional perspective
Authors: Schallert Oliver 
Published: June 2024

AbstractModal verbs in German show phonologically unconditioned umlaut in thepres.plversuspres.sgwhose functional motivation is unclear. Based on a large sample of dialectological data, I explore the distribution of this umlaut as well as other irregularization strategies like contractions and/or consonant mutations in different paradigm cells. My observations point to the conclusion that these facets of irregularity aremorphomicin that they serve no other function than signaling inflectional class coherence. A promising approach to capture these complex patterns of stem allomorphy isInformation-based Morphology(IBM), an inferential-realizational approach to morphology developed in the context ofHead-driven Phrase Structure Grammar(HPSG). The concept of astem spaceallows for expressing implicational or directed generalizations in stem formation and their mapping to phonology. In diachronic terms, however, transcategorial number marking, as proposed in the relevant literature, is a plausible functional motivation for the analogical extension of umlaut as a verbal plural marker.
Spiżarnia Paula de Vosa i Polowanie z sokołami Jana Hackaerta. O dwóch obrazach z motywem myśliwskim i ich znaczeniu w dziejach przemian malarstwa flamandzkiego i holenderskiego
Authors: Purc Beata 
Published: June 2024

Przedmiotem artykułu są dwa obrazy z tematem myśliwskim Spiżarnia Paula de Vosa (1595 - 1678) we współpracy z Janen Fytem (1611-1667) i Polownie z sokołami autorstwa Jana Hackaerta (1629-po1685). Te dwa dzieła zostały nabyte do zbiorów Muzeum Miejskiego w Gdańsku (Stadtmuseum) podczas II wojny światowej. Artykuł prezentuje nowe badania atrybucyjne, ikonograficzne i wskazuje na wartościowy charakter przykładów barokowego malarstwa europejskiego w polskich zbiorach. Prezentuje walory artystyczne i formalne obu obrazów rozpatrując je w kontekście innych, podobnych tematów i przedstawień występujących w sztuce południowych i północnych Niderlandów. Ustalono, że obraz Spiżarnia Paula de Vosa (1595- 1678) we współpracy z Janen Fytem (1611-1667) można uznać za pierwowzór, który był kopiowany przez malarzy do XVIII. W artykule zwrócono także uwagę na próby ustalenia losów obiektów ruchomych, które po 1945 r. w nowych warunkach historycznych zostały przemieszczone, a ich proweniencja zasługuje na badanie.
Okoliczności odnalezienia i odzyskania miecza koronacyjnego Zygmunta I Starego w świetle badań Mariana Morelowskiego
Authors: Chabiera Piotr Paweł 
Published: June 2024

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja dotąd niepublikowanych badań na temat działalności Mariana Morelowskiego w procesie rewindykacji regaliów zagrabionych z terenów Rzeczypospolitej. Problem i proces restytucji mienia kulturalnego po traktacie ryskim doczekał się szeregu badań, nie ma jednak osobnego opracowania dotyczącego udziału i zasług na tym polu m.in. M. Morelowskiego. W niniejszym artykule opisano szczegółowo jego uczestnictwo w kwerendach w Berlinie jako delegata Mieszanej Komisji Specjalnej w Moskwie, dzięki którym miał pełną wiedzę o losach dzieł sztuki należących do polskiego dziedzictwa narodowego, a rozproszonych po grabieży Skarbca Koronnego na Wawelu. Wnikliwym badaniom poddano materiały dotyczące rewindykacynej aktywności Polonii po drugiej wojnie światowej, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem działalności Stanisława Meyera, Antoniego Maryanowskiego i Edwarda Raczyńskiego.
Dzięki badaniom dokumentów należących do spuścizny po M. Morelowskim, zgromadzonych w Bibliotece im. Wróblewskich Litewskiej Akademii Nauk w Wilnie, jak również archiwaliów będących w posiadaniu Działu Rękopisów Zakładu Narodowego im. Ossolińskich we Wrocławiu i Archiwum Głównym Akt Dawnych w Warszawie, nadto archiwaliów po A. Maryanowskim, zgromadzonych Archiwum Zamku Królewskiego na Wawelu, oraz kontakty z wybranymi osobami udało się odnaleźć wiele nowych, nieznanych i niepublikowanych informacji na temat istoty problemu badawczego.
Z uwagi na ramy czasowe publikacji opracowanie celowo zawężono do 1926 r., kiedy M. Morelowski odbył badania w Berlinie, zakończył pracę w Moskwie i powrócił do Polski, by 1 lipca tego roku objąć stanowisko kustosza Państwowych Zbiorów Sztuki na Wawelu i jedynie wzmiankowano późniejsze jego losy w latach 30. i po wojnie. Szerszej analizie poddano dalsze losy miecza po 1950 r.
Marszałek Sejmu – strażnik spokoju, porządku i powagi
Authors: Juchniewicz Joanna 
Published: June 2024

Jednoosobowym, umocowanym konstytucyjnie, kierowniczym organem Sejmu jest Marszałek Sejmu. Ustrojodawca wskazał w art. 110 ust. 2 ustawy zasadniczej1 trzy podstawowe sfery aktywności Marszałka Sejmu: przewodniczenie obradom Sejmu, reprezentowanie Sejmu na zewnątrz, strzeżenie praw Sejmu.
Jak stwierdzają przedstawiciele doktryny prawa konstytucyjnego, konstytucyjna regulacja może stanowić samodzielną podstawę podejmowania przez Marszałka działań skierowanych na zapewnienie spokoju i porządku, jednakże wobec ujęcia jej w dosyć ogólny sposób, znalazła ona rozwinięcie w przepisach regulaminu Sejmu.
Jako kierowniczy organ Sejmu Marszałek jest odpowiedzialny za organizację prac izby, do niego należy też przewodniczenie posiedzeniom Sejmu. Spektrum podejmowanych w tym zakresie działań jest niezwykle szerokie, obejmuje zarówno kompetencje dotyczące nadawania biegu różnym inicjatywom poselskim, czuwania nad terminowością prac Sejmu, ale równie ważne są te związane z utrzymywaniem porządku i zachowaniem spokoju w trakcie prac izby oraz jej organów
Nie ulega wątpliwości, że efektywność prac Sejmu w dużym stopniu uzależniona jest od atmosfery, w jakiej prowadzone są obrady. Ale nie ulega też wątpliwości, że organ przedstawicielski jest swoistym tyglem, w którym poglądy, argumenty, stanowiska przedstawiane są w bardzo ekspresyjny sposób, często wykraczający poza ramy „normalnej” debaty. Dlatego istnienie procedur pozwalających zapanować nad emocjami występującymi po stronie parlamentarzystów jest w pełni uzasadnione, ale w żadnym stopniu ich stosowanie nie powinno prowadzić do nieuzasadnionego wpływania na sposób realizacji mandatu poselskiego i ograniczania swobody wypowiedzi. Niemniej praktyka ostatnich dwóch kadencji Sejmu odkryła wiele słabości, jakie przy okazji przedmiotowych procedur występują. Brak dookreśloności materialnych podstaw zastosowania instrumentów „porządkowych” czy „dyscyplinujących” otwiera pole do instrumentalnego ich wykorzystania i de facto ograniczania uprawnień poselskich. Można zatem skonstatować, że Marszałek Sejmu, stojąc na straży spokoju, porządku i powagi Sejmu, sam również powinien być „siłą spokoju” i reagować jedynie w przypadkach obiektywnie wymagających reakcji.

Published: June 2024

This article explores some of the shortcomings of the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA) in regulating and effecting control over the Private Security Industry (PSI) in South Africa. In South Africa, all Private Security companies must comply with PSIRA by registering as security providers, however this study revealed a non-compliance. This shortcoming is demonstrated by fly-by-night security companies that provide security services at shopping centres and shopping malls particularly in the parking areas who fail to comply with PSIRA in terms of registration. The main aim of this research was to analyse whether the PSCs comply with the regulatory framework as per the Private Security Industry Regulation Act 56 of 2001 in South Africa in Gauteng Province. A qualitative research design was applied to determine whether PSIRA enforces compliance as per regulatory framework and to establish whether the current private security service providers are registered with PSIRA. The population of the study involved security managers and owners of the private security companies in South Africa. The findings revealed that there is non- compliance to PSIRA by Security providers. It is recommended that the regulator be capacitated with resources to improve its compliance.
The perceived future of female entrepreneurs in South Africa
Authors: Schultz Cecile , Ebewo Patrick , Magdeline Mmako Mphoreng 
Published: June 2024

The study under discussion aims to map the outlook for female business owners in South Africa by investigating nine stories shared by interviewees operating across industries, age groups, and holding different levels of education. Through a qualitative exploration grounded in the intersectionality theory, the research unveils a nuanced tapestry of challenges and opportunities shaping the experiences of these resilient entrepreneurs. The findings echo the transformative potential inherent in women-led businesses, vividly portraying them as dynamic agents fostering growth, attracting investments, and contributing positively to economic expansion, poverty alleviation, and community development. The narrative portrays the leading women-run businesses as agents of change, instigating economic growth, attracting investments, and contributing positively to the realisation of social justice, poverty eradication, and improved livelihoods. The theme of patriarchy surfaces as a challenge in the entrepreneurial field, but with more pronounced adverse structures in opposition to free-playing entrepreneurship. The study that has exhausted all the topics ends with an emphasis on targeted interventions, acknowledging the obstacle of domestic constraints, improving cooperation, and dismantling patriarchal power structures. Its principles are establishing a supportive environment that considers the distinctive factors of women's entrepreneurship, resulting in economic empowerment and sometimes overall social development. Due to its active contribution to women's direction in business and in the implementation of pertinent targeted interventions, South Africa can employ women's potential fully, which can lead to economic growth and be socially beneficial in the meantime. The study also suggests that future inquiries to clear the sight about different actors within the entrepreneurship ecosystem and eventually form a comprehensive outlook of all factors that underline the complex business generation process.

Published: June 2024

This study is to finding out the significances of recursion in early language learning. This study is a qualitative research by using descriptive case study approach. This study describes in details the significances of recursion in early on language acquisition. The participants of this study are 44 participants. Observation and interview are conducted to get the data of the significance of recursion in early language development. Furthermore, the elements of the inquiry examine how recursion affects their capacity to offer feedback. The results show that recursion is important for overcoming stimulus poverty in a second language and producing sentences. According to 16 (36%) of the participants, the recursion notion can address the lack of stimuli in language acquisition. Whereas 28 (64%) of participants claim they can produce sentences because their lecturers apply recursion ideas. It is used to drill and reinforce the supplied input. Students can use their existing knowledge to address language learning challenges since teachers have repeatedly offered a procedure.
The Suppression of Ocean Waves by Biogenic Slicks
Authors: Laxague Nathan , Zappa Christopher , Soumya Shantanu , Wurl Oliver 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Surface waves are significantly damped by biogenic surfactants which accumulate at the ocean's surface from the high latitudes to the tropics. The growth, development, and breaking of short wind-driven surface waves is a key mediator of the air-sea exchange of momentum, heat, and trace gases; consequently, the effect of surfactant compounds in the uppermost millimeters of the ocean in damping short surface waves bears on earth's climatic processes. The mechanisms through which surfactants suppress waves have been studied in great detail through careful laboratory experimentation in quasi one-dimensional wave tanks. However, the spatial scales over which this damping occurs in structurally complex surfactant slicks on the real ocean have not been resolved. Here we present the results of field observations of the spatial response of decimeter to millimeter-scale waves to biogenic surfactant slicks. We found that wave damping in organic material-rich coastal waters resulted in a net (spatio-temporally averaged) reduction of ~50% in momentum input to the wave field relative to the open ocean for low to moderate wind speeds. This significant effect had thus far evaded quantification due in large part to the enormous range of scales required for its description-- spanning the sea surface microlayer to the ocean submesoscale. These results are of critical importance to describing the energy exchange between ocean and atmosphere and in forecasting the coupled earth system.
Influence of an Inspiratory Muscle Fatigue Protocol on Older Adults on Respiratory Muscle Strength, Muscle Oxygen Saturation, and Functional Capacity. A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Maestro Arturo Ladriñán , Sánchez-Infante Jorge , Vera Daniel Martín , Sierra Alberto Sánchez 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background
The fatigue of the inspiratory musculature, particularly the diaphragm, has been demonstrated to exert systemic effects on the body, impacting cardiovascular and performance outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of an inspiratory muscle fatigue protocol on respiratory muscle strength, functionality, and muscle oxygen saturation in older adults.
Methods
A double-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on twenty-four older adults aged over 60 years, who were physically independent in terms of gait and transfers. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: control, inspiratory muscle fatigue, or activation. Diaphragmatic ultrasonography, maximum inspiratory pressure, muscle oxygen saturation, and functionality were assessed at two time points: before intervention (T1) and immediately post-treatment (T2).
Results
The inspiratory muscle fatigue group showed lower scores for respiratory and functional variables after performing the diaphragmatic fatigue intervention than the activation and control group (p < 0.05), on the other hand, the activation group showed more positive values for functional and respiratory capacity variables after performing the inspiratory muscle activation training (p < 0.05).
Conclusions
Fatigue of the inspiratory musculature appears to negatively impact inspiratory muscle strength, peripheral muscle strength, muscular oxygenation, and functionality in older adults.

Assessing the Potential of Tax Policies in Reducing Environmental Impacts from European Food Consumption
Authors: Plinke Charlotte , Sureth Michael , Kalkuhl Matthias 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Food consumption generates significant environmental externalities that remain insufficiently addressed by public policies. This paper explores the global environmental footprints induced by food consumption in the European Union (EU27) based on a multi-regional input-output model and assesses the potential of tax policies for mitigation. Using household expenditure data, we estimate country-specific demand systems on food products and link these to the footprints for the policy analysis. We find that removing current VAT reductions on meat products has the potential to decrease food consumption-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water consumption, land use, biodiversity loss, nitrogen and phosphorus footprints of EU27 household food consumption by 3.5 to 5.7 percent. A GHG emission price of approximately 52 EUR/tCO2eq on all food products leads to equivalent emission reductions with higher associated environmental co-benefits. Mean net welfare costs of the two policies amount to 12-26 EUR/year per household.

Factors Affecting the Development of Cystoid Macular Edema Following Pars Plana Vitrectomy with Silicone Oil Placement: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: ElSheikh Reem H. , Zhang Sairi , Chauhan Muhammad Z. , Sanders Riley N. , Uwaydat Sami H. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background: Cystoid macular edema (CME) can develop following silicone oil placement in complex vitreoretinal surgeries, contributing to poor visual outcomes. In this study, we investigated the clinical and surgical characteristics associated with the development of CME following the use of silicone oil (SO) in pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) surgeries.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent implantation of SO during PPV from 2014 to 2020 by a single surgeon. Patient demographics, type of oil, duration of oil tamponade, retinectomy size, diabetic status, lens status, prior panretinal photocoagulation, visual acuity, and incidence of CME were reviewed.
Results: This study included 43 eyes from 40 patients who underwent SO tamponade for retinal detachment (RD) surgery. The mean duration of SO tamponade was 15.7±12.7 months (range: 1-58 months). The most common indication for surgery was diabetic tractional RD (32.7%), followed by traumatic RD (16.3%) and rhegmatogenous RD with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (11.6%). Of the 43 eyes, 18 (41.9%) developed CME for the first time after PPV with SO placement, with 8 (44%) resolving within a year of oil removal. The mean duration for the development of CME was 9 months. A logistic regression model showed that a scleral buckle procedure and poor initial vision were statistically significant factors for predicting the development of CME (ORs: 11.65 and 16.06, respectively). Overall, 91% of the patients had stable or improved vision after surgery.
Conclusions: The use of a scleral buckle procedure and poor initial vision are significant factors for predicting CME following silicone oil tamponade in PPV surgeries, with 41.9% of patients developing CME with an average duration of 9 months. Recognizing such factors can lead to early monitoring and prompt management of CME.
In Search of the Perfect Model: How Cancer Cell Lines Relate to Native Cancers
Authors: Paloots Rahel , Yang Ziying , Baudis Michael 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Cancer cell lines are frequently used in biological and translational research to study cellular mechanisms and explore treatment options. However, cancer cell lines may display mutational profiles divergent from native cancers or may be misidentified or contaminated. We explored how similar cancer cell lines are to native cancers to find the most suitable representations for the corresponding diseases by utilising large collections of copy number variation (CNV) profiles and applied machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict cell line classifications.
Our results confirm that cancer cell lines indeed accumulate more mutations compared to native cancers but retain similar CNV profiles. We demonstrate that many relevant oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are altered by CNV events in both cancers and their corresponding cell lines. Based on the similarities between the two groups and the predictions of the ML model, we provide some recommendations about cell lines with good potential to represent selected cancer types in in vitro studies.
Association between the stress hyperglycemia ratio and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke: a retrospective cohort study
Authors: Zhang Yaxin , Yin Xinxin , Liu Tingting , Ji Wenwen , Wang Guangdong 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background
The Systolic Hypertension Ratio (SHR) is established as a reliable marker for assessing the severity of stress-induced hyperglycemia. While its effectiveness in managing critical ill patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) remains to be fully understood. We aim to explore the relationship between SHR and clinical prognosis in critically ill AIS patients and to assess how diabetes status influences this relationship.
Methods
In this study, we analyzed data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV) database, selecting patients with severe AIS who required ICU admission. These patients were categorized into quartiles based on their SHR levels. We applied Cox hazard regression models and used restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves to investigate relationships between outcomes and SHR.
Results
The study enrolled a total of 2029 patients. Cox regression demonstrated that a strong correlation was found between increasing SHR levels and higher all-cause mortality. Patients in the highest two quartiles of SHR experienced significantly elevated 30-day and 90-day mortality rates compared to those in the lowest quartile. This pattern remained consistent regardless of diabetes status. Further, RCS analysis confirmed a progressively increasing risk of all-cause mortality with higher SHR levels.
Conclusion
The findings indicate that SHR is association with increased 30-day and 90-day mortality among AIS patients, underscoring its potential value in risk stratification. Although the presence of diabetes may weaken this association, significant correlations persist in diabetic patients.
