Supply chain transformational leadership and resilience: the mediating role of ambidextrous business model
Authors: Feng Taiwen , Si Zhihui , Jiang Wenbo , Tan Jianyu 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe global prevalence of COVID-19 has caused many supply chain disruptions, which calls for firms to build resilient supply chains. Prior research primarily examined the effects of firm resources or capabilities on supply chain resilience (SCR), with limited attention given to the critical role of supply chain transformational leadership (SCTL). Based on social learning theory, we explore how SCTL impacts SCR via an ambidextrous business model and the moderating role of paradox cognition. We employ hierarchical regression analysis to verify the hypotheses with data from 317 Chinese firms. The results show that SCTL has a positive impact on proactive and reactive SCR, and the ambidextrous business model mediates this relationship. Furthermore, paradox cognition strengthens the effect of SCTL on the ambidextrous business model. This study contributes to literature and practices in the field of transformational leadership and SCR by providing unique insights into how to improve SCR from a leadership perspective.
Proverbs in Extended Conceptual Metaphor Theory
Authors: Kövecses Zoltán 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
In the chapter, I provide an account of metaphorical proverbs within the new framework of extended conceptual metaphor
theory, or ECMT, for short (Kövecses 2020). I rely especially on the multilevel and
contextualist aspects of this view. I argue that ECMT can account for why many proverbs are widespread in the world’s languages; why,
at the same time, many proverbs can also exhibit cultural differences; and why proverbs can have very specific meanings in particular
discourse situations. Finally, I show that context plays a very different role in metaphorical proverbs than in non-proverbial uses of
metaphor.
Metonymic layers in proverbs
Authors: Brdar Mario , Brdar-Szabó Rita , Zayniev Daler 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Metonymy can be manifest at several levels in proverbs. In this chapter, we identify five such metonymic layers. We first
examine whole proverbs as instances of the specific-for-generic metonymy. Secondly, proverbs can be seen as
indirect speech acts in which an element of a speech act scenario can stand metonymically for the whole of the associated
illocutionary category. Proverbs can also appear in reduced form, and the part that is retained is capable of metonymically evoking
the whole. A phrase within a proverb can occasionally be interpreted as an instance of the metonymy participant for event.
Finally, a part of a proverb can receive a non-event metonymic interpretation that may even happen systematically, as in the case of
weather proverbs.
Contradiction in proverbs
Authors: Lemghari El Mustapha 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Contradiction in proverbs has been noted over centuries. As a culture-specific phenomenon, contradiction is an important
research topic for Conceptual Metaphor Theory. It must be asked why given proverbs contradict. The likely answer is that they express
opposite meanings. Granted the metaphoricity of proverbs’ meanings, contradictory proverbs must be assumed to be motivated via
opposite metaphors. This hypothesis is workable, but with the proviso that the metaphorical conceptualisations concerned are not
standard conceptual metaphors but rather stereotypical metaphors – a kind of metaphors that emerge from stereotypes, that is,
stereotypical thoughts that speakers within a speech community attach to concepts.
Living is movement
Authors: Sekyi-Baidoo Yaw 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Proverbs, sayings, metaphors, and symbolism represent connections between physical experiences, their cognitive
engagements and language, which becomes both a storage place and a promoter of this symbiosis. Departing from the universal life
is a journey conventional metaphor, the study examines the representation of the connection between movement and living and how
they are reflected in Akan philosophical values. Guided by Johnson’s schema theory, Lakoff and Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor theory,
and Lakoff and Turner’s (1989) Great Chain Metaphor Theory, the study discusses the
living is movement schema and component conceptual metaphors in Akan proverbs. It also examines related orientational
metaphors including ‘success is up/away’ and security is in/within in the proverbs, linking all these cognitive
representations of movement to the Akan philosophy of ‘life and its living’.
How does dyslexia impact second language acquisition?
Authors: Venagli Ilaria , Kupisch Tanja 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This study compares the self-perception of first (L1) and second (L2) language competence and
dyslexia awareness in two groups of dyslexic students, one German and one Italian, learning English as a second
language. Based on a survey, we investigate the relationship between students’ self-perception of their L1 and L2
competence, and how perceived L1 competence, L2 learning motivation, time of dyslexia diagnosis, and typological
similarity between L1 and L2 modulate their perceived L2 competence. The findings indicate that L1 and L2
self-perception are interdependent, and that high motivation for language learning predicts better self-perception of
L2 competence. Differences emerged between the two groups’ perceived L2 competence and motivation for language
learning. Moreover, while students themselves are aware of the implications associated with dyslexia, they perceive a
lack thereof amongst their teachers and peers, leading to negative emotions, such as shame, lack of self-esteem, and
motivation to engage in foreign language learning.
Early phonological acquisition in multi-accent contexts
Authors: Sim Jasper Hong , Post Brechtje 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Many children acquire the sound system of their language(s) in multi-accent environments. Yet, the
variation and inconsistencies that exist in the linguistic input to these children and the effects of variable input
on early phonological development remain relatively underexplored and underrepresented in the field of language
acquisition. This chapter provides an overview of the growing body of work that examines early phonological
acquisition in diverse contexts. It first describes the monolingual and bilingual contexts in which the phonetic and
phonological properties of adult input can be particularly variable, followed by the different types of input
variability. The implications of variable input on phonological development in children are then discussed, before
some recommendations for researching early phonological acquisition.
Diagnosing speech sound disorder in bilingual Vietnamese-English-speaking children
Authors: Margetson Kate , McLeod Sharynne , Verdon Sarah 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Multilingual children suspected of having speech sound disorders (SSD) are often only assessed in
English due to challenges facing speech-language pathologists (SLPs) such as inadequate resources, lack of access to
multilingual SLPs or interpreters, and limited SLP knowledge and skill in assessing unfamiliar languages. This paper
describes the speech profiles and diagnostic decision-making for four bilingual Vietnamese-English speaking children
aged 4–6 years. When using English-only assessment all children were diagnosed with SSD. When assessed in English and
Vietnamese, only two children were diagnosed with SSD. Many mismatches could be explained by cross-linguistic transfer
and ambient phonology. These different diagnostic outcomes demonstrate that direct speech assessment in home
language(s) and English is essential for accurate diagnosis of SSD in multilingual children.
Speech and language assessment of multilingual children in Hungary
Authors: Bunta Ferenc , Fürész-Mayernik Melinda , Bóna Judit , Navracsics Judit , Bátyi Szilvia , Parapatics Andrea 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
For over 100 years, Hungary has consisted of predominantly Hungarian-speaking individuals with
98.9% claiming Hungarian as their native language in 2001. On the latest census in 2011, less than 7% of people living
in Hungary identified themselves as belonging to a minority ethnic group. However, in recent years, Hungary has
experienced an increase in immigrants whose home language is other than Hungarian. The educational system and
speech-language pathology practices have not caught up with the reality of having non-Hungarian-speaking immigrants
entering public schools. In this paper, we review the literature on the growing issue of how Hungarian society and its
educational system are grappling with accommodating immigrants whose home language may be other than Hungarian.
Dynamic assessment in phonology
Authors: Kehoe Margaret , Matrat Mélodie 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Dynamic assessment (DA) is an approach strongly recommended for bilingual children since it
measures children’s learning capacities and not their static knowledge. It has been widely applied to the assessment
of children’s lexical, morphosyntactic, and narrative abilities but minimally so to children’s phonological abilities;
however, its application to phonology has existed for many years in the form of stimulability testing. This chapter
reviews the notion of stimulability and how it has been integrated into DA approaches to phonological production,
primarily in English. The authors describe two French DAs of phonology, which manipulate linguistic environment and
cue levels, and target structures that are late acquired in French speech sound development. The chapter presents
preliminary data on them with French-speaking monolingual and bilingual children.
A revised Natural Growth Theory of Acquisition
Authors: Dziubalska-Kołaczyk Katarzyna , Wrembel Magdalena 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Different theories have been put forward to model bilingual acquisition, yet only few assume a
multilingual perspective. In this chapter, the authors aim to briefly overview relevant theoretical approaches to
L2/L3 acquisition and offer a revised version of a new framework, which can account for the complexity of the
acquisition process. In this theory, the authors want to modify and extend the explanatory potential offered by
classic natural phonology with the epistemological support from complex systems and with inductive support from the
data. The assumptions of the Natural Growth Theory of Acquisition are further developed based on principled
explanations and inductive data-driven accounts. In this contribution, selected data from studies on third language
phonology (L3 phonology) are reinterpreted for this purpose.
More than spelling accuracy
Authors: Bahr Ruth Huntley , Silliman Elaine R. , Conover Laura 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Spelling is a linguistic process that integrates phonological, orthographic, and morphological
knowledge into novel word forms. Regardless of language, students learn to identify meaningful sound/letter
combinations as they learn how to spell. However, most spelling investigations only consider overall word accuracy and
not the nature and number of linguistic features in error. This chapter illustrates the utility of a linguistic
scoring procedure in documenting the nature of misspelling patterns longitudinally in two groups of students from
grades 1–7 that varied by spelling ability. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of misspellings demonstrate how
general word knowledge develops into specific word knowledge for spelling. This type of fine-grained linguistic
analysis is useful in studying spelling skill in any alphabetic or alphasyllabary language.
Phonological transfer in oral and written production among adult L2 learners of Swedish
Authors: Zetterholm Elisabeth 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
A foreign accent is usually inevitable among adult second language (L2) learners. The speaker’s
first language (L1) can often be identified based on transfer of linguistic features from L1 to L2. Misspellings in
texts written by adolescents in their L2 are traced to the phonology in participants L1s and explained as transfer
(Andersson, 1981). The aim of this study is to investigate whether a
relationship between oral and written production (in L2) can be found among adult L2 learners of Swedish. A dictation
exercise shows misspellings in texts that can be related to accented speech and phonology in the participants’ L1s.
Results are of interest and relevance for didactic development in the teaching of Swedish as a second language.
What are the main reasons for the worldwide decline in pollinator populations?
Authors: Brunet Johanne , Fragoso Fabiana P. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Pollinator populations are declining worldwide and over 87% of flowering plant species and 87 of the leading global food crops rely on pollinators for seed production. Pollinator decline seriously impacts biodiversity conservation, reduces crop yield, and threatens food security. Understanding the drivers of pollinator decline can guide the development of strategies and action plans to protect and conserve pollinators and the essential ecosystem services they provide. This review introduces the diversity of pollinators, addresses the main drivers of pollinator decline, and presents strategies to reduce their negative impacts. We discuss how managed bees negatively affect wild bee species, and examine the impacts of habitat loss, pesticide use, pests and pathogens, pollution, and climate change on pollinator decline. Connections between humans and pollinator decline are addressed. Climate change emerges as the most prominent threat to pollinators and humans and the most difficult threat to control. The changes in water and temperature associated with climate change can lower the quantity and quality of resources available to pollinators, decrease the survival of larvae or adults, and modify suitable habitats. Climate change is a global issue and a serious threat to food security, and to world stability. Efforts to control the various factors that negatively impact pollinators must continue given the dire consequences.
First-principles study of the electronic and optical properties of two-dimensional PtS2/GaS van der Waals heterostructure
Authors: Zhu Min-Qi , Wang Xue-Feng 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Heterostructures based on two-dimensional materials have received increasing attention due to their extraordinary properties and application potential. In this paper, the electronic and optical properties of the PtS2/GaS van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure as well as the effects of biaxial strain and external electric field are systematically investigated based on first-principles calculations. The PtS2/GaS vdW heterostructure has an interlayer distance of 3.01 Å and is a type-Ⅱ semiconductor of band gap 1.54 eV. Large optical absorption coefficients are observed in both the ultraviolet and the visible regions. Furthermore, its band structure can be effectively tuned by applying biaxial strain and external electric field. The transition between the type-Ⅱ and type-I band alignments can be realized. The absorption spectra and their peaks can be then manipulated effectively by applying biaxial strain with good stability under external electric field. The predicted tunable electronic properties and unique optical absorption properties suggests promising potential for the application of the PtS2/GaS vdW heterostructure in future optoelectronic nanodevices.
Muon spin relaxation and emergence of disorder-induced unconventional dynamic magnetic fluctuations in Dy2Zr2O7
Authors: Devi Sheetal , Biswas Pabitra K , Yokoyama K , Adroja D T , Yadav C S 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The disordered pyrochlore oxide Dy2Zr2O7 shows the signatures of field-induced spin freezing with remnant zero-point spin-ice entropy at 5 kOe magnetic field. We have performed zero-field and longitudinal field Muon spin relaxation (µSR) studies on Dy2Zr2O7. Our zero field studies reveal the absence of both long-range ordering and spin freezing down to 62 mK. The µSR relaxation rate exhibits a temperature-independent plateau below 4 K, indicating a dynamic ground state of fluctuating spins similar to the well-known spin ice system Dy2Ti2O7. The low-temperature spin fluctuations persist in the longitudinal field of 20 kOe as well and show unusual field dependence of the relaxation rate, which is uncommon for a spin-liquid system. Our results, combined with the previous studies do not show any evidence of spin ice or spin glass ground state, rather point to a disorder-induced dynamic magnetic ground state in the Dy2Zr2O7 material.
Evaluation of consumer digital radon measurement devices: a comparative analysis
Authors: Bahadori Alexandra , Hanson Brian 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Kansas State University (KSU) Engineering Extension conducted an abridged evaluation of eight consumer grade digital radon monitors. Using the KSU secondary radon chamber, these devices were exposed to three different radon concentrations for 7 d in average household temperature and relative humidity conditions. The three different radon concentration ranges used were: 12.8 pCi L−1 to 15.5 pCi L−1 (473.6 Bq m−3–573.5 Bq m−3), 27.7 pCi L−1 to 29.4 pCi L−1 (1024.9–10 857.8 Bq m−3), and ambient room level average radon concentration of 0.6 pCi L−1 (22.2 Bq m−3). The American National Standards Institute/American Academy of Radon Scientists and Technologists Performance Specifications for Instrumentation Systems Designed to Measure Radon Gas in Air (ANSI/AARST MS-PC) (ANSI/AARST MS-PC 2022 Performance Specifications for Instrumentation Systems Designed to Measure Radon Gas in Air (AARST Radon Standards)) minimum performance metrics were used to evaluate the accuracy and precision of each model type for each radon concentration tested. The eight different device models performed within the 0 ± 25% requirement for the individual percent error (IPE) for radon concentrations between 27.7 pCi L−1 and 29.4 pCi L−1 (1024.9–10 857.8 Bq m−3). For radon concentrations between 12.8 pCi L−1 and 15.5 pCi L−1 (444–592 Bq m−3) seven of the eight monitors fell within the IPE requirement and for ambient room radon concentrations six of the eight monitors fell within the IPE requirement for the ANSI/AARST MS-PC minimum performance requirement (ANSI/AARST MS-PC 2022 Performance Specifications for Instrumentation Systems Designed to Measure Radon Gas in Air (AARST Radon Standards)) ranges. All eight device models fell within the ± 15% ANSI/AARST MS-PC minimum performance requirement (ANSI/AARST MS-PC 2022 Performance Specifications for Instrumentation Systems Designed to Measure Radon Gas in Air (AARST Radon Standards)) coefficient of variation (CV) range for radon concentrations between 12.8 pCi L−1 and 15.5 pCi L−1 (444–592 Bq m−3) and for radon concentrations between 27.7 pCi L−1 and 29.4 pCi L−1 (1024.9–10 857.8 Bq m−3). In the future, evaluating the performance of these models over time to observe their long term accuracy and precision is anticipated.
A method for multi-view surface defect detection of Si3N4 ceramic bearing balls integrating features enhanced by the Gabor salient domain

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Si3N4 ceramic bearing balls exhibit wear, pits, scratches, and delamination defects on the surface during manufacturing processes. Current Si3N4 ceramic ball detection methods mainly focus on a single view input, which leads to insufficient fusion of boundary, color, and shape features, consequently resulting in a low detection accuracy. In this research, propose multi-view surface defect detection of Si3N4 ceramic bearing balls integrating features enhanced by the Gabor salient domain (GSMF). Firstly, color, shape, and boundary information of defects are extracted from different angles, distances, and GSMF enhancement views. Secondly, by designing a salient domain enhancement module, GSMF enhancement boundary features are extracted, addressing the feature loss problem that results in scarce border information during decoding. By improving the co-attention of multi-view to prevent memory loss caused by long-distance transmission, more feature information is preserved. Finally, the accuracy of the detection method is validated through experimental tests.
Small-sample linear profile error uncertainty assessment based on grey system
Authors: Zhang Ke , Chen Suan , Zhang Ruiyu 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The uncertainty assessment of the profile error of the cam profile, as defined in the national standard method, is difficult to carry out under conditions of small sample size and absence of probability distribution assumptions. This paper proposes a small-sample assessment model for the uncertainty of the profile error based on grey system. Firstly, the coordinate transformation is conducted using Vector Alignment Method to reduce systematic errors, and the non-uniform rational B-splines curve interpolation is utilized to fit the cam profile curve and perform error assessment. Subsequently, based on the error assessment results, Grey Information Measurement Model (GIMM) for the uncertainty of the profile error in small samples is established. This model employs Grey Relational Analysis to eliminate outliers and evaluates the uncertainty of the profile error by solving grey correlation coefficients. Maximum-Minimum Information Measure Method is used to assess the optimal sample size. Finally, numerical experiments and experimental tests were conducted on the uncertainty of camshaft profile error in automobiles. A total of 15 sets of profile data were compared with Guide to the Representation of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) and Monte Carlo Method (MCM) under different sample sizes. The results showed that GIMM achieved evaluation with only 8 sets of data samples under small sample and poor information conditions, with an uncertainty of 0.6338 μm, compared to 0.6346 μm for GUM and 0.6391 μm for MCM. The acceptance rate of GIMM reached 95.2%. This model outperforms other methods, providing a simplified and reliable assessment of cam profile error uncertainty.
Accuracy improvement of a multi-ring beam structured inner surface measurement: via novel calibration methodology and light source optimization

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Parts with a large depth-to-diameter ratio play a critical role in the military, aerospace, and automotive industries. However, accurately measuring their inner surface profile remains challenging owing to the lack of adequate and accurate sensors. We developed a multi-ring structured light system to obtain three-dimensional data of inner contours, such as inner diameters, which are crucial for ensuring component performance and safety. In this study, we proposed three simple yet effective techniques to improve the multi-ring beam structured measurement system. First, we designed a distortion correction method to calibrate the imaging system. Second, a two-step calibration approach was used to calibrate the multi-ring projection. Meanwhile, we benchmarked the effects of different light sources on image speckles. The calibration results demonstrated that the coefficient of determination (R-2) used for line fitting exceeded 0.999. Moreover, the measurement experimental results show that the uncertainty of less than 10 µm and the smallest measurable pipe inner diameter can reach 15 mm, demonstrating that our methods are promising for improving the accuracy of structured light optical sensing systems. This system satisfies the measurement requirements and can be immediately utilized to meet the high demand for inner contour measurements in industrial applications.
