Authors: Gao Dawei , Wang Haibin , Li Yaliang , Sun Xiuyu , Qian Yichen , Ding Bolin , Zhou Jingren 
Published: May 2024

Large language models (LLMs) have emerged as a new paradigm for Text-to-SQL task. However, the absence of a systematical benchmark inhibits the development of designing effective, efficient and economic LLM-based Text-to-SQL solutions. To address this challenge, in this paper, we first conduct a systematical and extensive comparison over existing prompt engineering methods, including question representation, example selection and example organization, and with these experimental results, we elaborate their pros and cons. Based on these findings, we propose a new integrated solution, named DAIL-SQL, which refreshes the Spider leaderboard with 86.6% execution accuracy and sets a new bar.
To explore the potential of open-source LLM, we investigate them in various scenarios, and further enhance their performance with supervised fine-tuning. Our explorations highlight open-source LLMs' potential in Text-to-SQL, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the supervised fine-tuning. Additionally, towards an efficient and economic LLM-based Text-to-SQL solution, we emphasize the token efficiency in prompt engineering and compare the prior studies under this metric. We hope that our work provides a deeper understanding of Text-to-SQL with LLMs, and inspires further investigations and broad applications.
“If you don’t know English, it is like there is something wrong with you.” Students’ views of language(s) in a plurilingual setting
Authors: Krogager Andersen Line , Pitkänen-Huhta Anne 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Based on a repertoire-oriented stance to language learning and a broad definition of language awareness, this study investigates students’ discursive representations of the languages in their repertoires in the context of a plurilingual language awareness course (Almen Sprogforståelse). The study is based on a subset of data collected in a multi-case study focusing on language awareness across educational levels. Through an inductive and iterative thematic content analysis of interview and classroom data, the authors identify six themes central to the ways in which students talk about language: (1) language learning experiences and skills, (2) gateways, (3) attractiveness, (4) family and friendship, (5) everyday presence and (6) usefulness. The study investigates the relationship between the different themes and languages, revealing how students’ personal linguistic biographies and Spracherleben interact with classroom ideologies in shaping the ways in which students perceive and describe different languages. Despite students’ display of rich repertoires and language awareness, some languages are positioned discursively as need-to-have and others as nice-to-have or even impossible-to-opt-out-of, mirroring societal discourses surrounding these languages. In this sense, the results of the study underscore the importance of the development of critical language awareness, specifically in the context of the compulsory General Language Awareness course.

Abstract
This study investigated the influence of thermal treatment on the photocatalytic performance of ZnCr layered double hydroxide-based mixed metal oxides in the degradation of methylene blue and brilliant cresyl blue organic dyes under simulated solar light irradiation. The photocatalysts were synthesized using a simple coprecipitation method and subjected to thermal treatment at temperatures ranging from 100°C to 900°C. Additionally, the study explored the antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus using a novel antibacterial experimental setup. It not only involved the introduction of ZnCr samples into BioPeptone/prepared cell suspension to enhance photocatalyst–bacteria cell contact but also included research on antibacterial activity induced by solar irradiation and also in the absence of light, providing crucial insights into photocatalytic antibacterial activity of ZnCr photocatalysts. Despite satisfactory efficiencies observed for all thermally treated ZnCr samples (removal efficiency ranging from 40% to 90%), ZnCr 900 (thermally treated at 900°C) exhibited exceptional performance, achieving nearly 100% removal efficiency and complete growth inhibition for both bacteria. Integrating these findings with structural and textural characterization data, as well as kinetic studies, our comprehensive analysis enhances the understanding of structure-dependent photocatalytic activities. These insights open possibilities for the application of ZnCr photocatalysts in water purification and environmental remediation.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
The planning method of new energy distribution network in plateau area based on local accommodation is studied to improve the local accommodation capacity of new energy distribution network in plateau area. The framework of new energy distribution network planning in the plateau area is constructed, and the distribution network equipment suitable for the plateau environment is selected based on the harsh environment in the plateau area; in the framework of new energy distribution network planning in plateau area, a bi-level planning model considering multi-flexible resource coordinated scheduling and energy storage is established. The upper level planning model takes the maximum accommodation of new energy as the objective, and the lower level planning model takes the optimal daily operation benefit of energy storage under the given configuration as the optimization objective; the probabilistic power flow method and C-PSO are used to solve the bi-level model. The experiment shows that this method ensures the stability of the new energy distribution network in the plateau area, reduces the amount of abandoned wind energy and the operating cost, and improves the local accommodation capacity of the core higher than the distribution network.
Morphosyntactic stereotypes of speakers with different genders and sexual orientations: an experimental investigation
Authors: Posio Pekka , Kachel Sven , Uclés-Ramada Gloria 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Previous research has identified differences in language use between speakers representing different genders and sexual orientations, as well as stereotypical beliefs about the existence of such differences. The present paper investigates such stereotypical beliefs among speakers of two varieties of Spanish and explores whether linguistic stereotypes of gender and sexual orientation are stronger in a society with more conservative gender roles. We conducted an experiment where 252 speakers of European and Mexican Spanish were shown pairs of texts and sentences depicting the same event but differing in the use of morphosyntactic resources, creating stereotypically “masculine” and “feminine” variants of the same text or sentence. The informants were asked which of the variants was more likely uttered by a woman (rather than a man), a lesbian woman (rather than a straight woman), or a gay man (rather than a straight man). Some of the morphosyntactic features were strongly associated with speaker gender (e.g., use of first- and second-person singular) and others with lesbian (e.g., use of impersonal structures) or gay speakers (e.g., direct reported speech). Contrary to expectations, the responses did not differ according to informants’ age, gender, or nationality. While the present study did not reveal any differences between the two societies, more cross-linguistic and cultural research is needed to elucidate the effect of society on morphosyntactic variation and stereotypes thereof.
The past is the future: from natural acid-base indicators to natural reagents in sustainable analytical chemistry

Published: May 2024

Abstract
This article reviews the use of natural resources in analytical chemistry throughout history. Plant extracts were employed as indicators in chemistry for identifying the acidity or alkalinity of liquids as early as the 1650s. Later, as the industrial revolution altered people’s lives, synthetic chemicals were used instead. Modern techniques of analysis have replaced conventional ones as a result of advancements in physics and technology. The industrial revolution was an era of excitement until the toxic pollutants released from industries severely damaged people and the environment. The concepts of green chemistry and green analytical chemistry were proposed as potential solutions to the problems. The use of natural extracts as chemical analysis reagents has been reconsidered recently as a sustainable alternative. While new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) will influence future trends in analytical chemistry development, the primary goal is to move toward sustainable analytical chemistry, which includes using natural reagents and reducing the amount of chemicals consumed and waste produced.
Prediction of water absorption of recycled coarse aggregate based on deep learning image segmentation

Published: May 2024

Abstract
To quickly measure the water absorption (WA) of Recycled Coarse Aggregates (RCA), we utilize a detection platform designed for RCA to collect two-dimensional images. Utilizing the RCA-net network, we segment the areas of the mortar and aggregate on the RCA surface. Segmentations allow us to extract critical parameters for characterizing the quality of RCA, the proportion of mortar area (PMA). Subsequently, we construct three regression functions between PMA and WA. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed segmentation method effectively separates both adhered particles of RCA and distinct areas of mortar and aggregate on RCA surfaces. Next, sprinkling water on RCA surfaces can enhance the accuracy of the segmentation. Notably, within particle size ranges of 5–10 mm, 10–20 mm, and 20–31.5 mm, we all observed a significant linear relationship between PMA and WA. We used those linear relationships and the equivalent mass of RCA detected by the image method in each particle size range to construct the prediction model of water absorption. According to the validation result of 24 groups RCA, this model’s maximum relative error of RCA water absorption predicted value was 10.6 %. The detection time of this method is short, and the detection time of 2 kg RCA is 3.8 min, with an average computation time per image of merely 0.659 s. This efficiency fulfills the requirements for real-time industrial inspection.
Train in Pain: A Review of Exercise Benefits and Application for Individuals With Musculoskeletal Pain

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT
Exercise is a safe and recommended treatment for individuals experiencing chronic musculoskeletal pain. After receiving medical clearance, strength and conditioning practitioners and clinicians may prescribe exercise for clients with comorbid pain conditions, representing a unique challenge in determining the appropriate exercise prescription. Although exercise is a recommended intervention for pain, pain can also act as a key barrier to exercise participation because of associated increases in pain intensity or location during activity. In addition, biopsychosocial factors integral to the pain experience may affect response to exercise and should be considered when developing an exercise plan of care for this population. Strength and conditioning professionals may also consider the role of contextual factors in the delivery of exercise, such as expectations for pain relief and therapeutic alliance. This narrative review provides an overview of the current evidence regarding exercise for individuals with musculoskeletal pain.
Caregiver and Child Mental Health During 3 Years of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Price Anna M.H. , Measey Mary-Anne , Hoq Monsurul , Rhodes Anthea , Goldfeld Sharon 
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdowns (stay-at-home orders) had significant mental health consequences in 2020 to 2021 for caregivers and children. Little is known about “postlockdown” periods in 2022 to 2023. We investigated the mental health experiences of Australian families throughout the 3 years of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2023), by demographic characteristics and lockdown length.

METHODS
A total N = 12 408 caregivers (N = 20 339 children, aged 0–17 years) completed Australia’s only representative, repeated, cross-sectional, National Child Health Poll across 6 waves (June 2020–April 2023). Caregivers reported mental health for themselves (Kessler-6, poor versus not) and each child (self-rated mental health, poor/fair versus good/very good/excellent), and perceived impacts of the pandemic on own/child mental health (negative versus none/positive). Binary logistic models were fitted to predict marginal probabilities of each mental health measure by state/territory group (proxy for lockdown length), over time, adjusted for potential demographic confounders.

RESULTS
Poor caregiver Kessler-6 was similar between genders but more common for sole caregivers, and those with a home language other than English and lower education. Poor/fair child self-rated mental health was similar between genders and increased with child age. Perceived negative impacts were more common for females and socially advantaged caregivers. Overall, negative mental health experiences increased with lockdown length, peaking with the height of lockdown in July 2021, before declining.

CONCLUSIONS
Negative mental health experiences of Australian caregivers and children decreased during postlockdown periods of 2022–2023; however, social gradients persisted. These data can inform more precise mental health policies that enable better use of limited mental health infrastructure.

Published: May 2024

Introducción. El mortiño (Vaccinium floribundum Kunth) enfrenta una erosión genética significativa debido a la presión antrópica en los páramos, lo que ha llevado a la pérdida gradual del conocimiento tradicional del mortiño. En Colombia, la falta de registros específicos ha dificultado la identificación de las especies asociadas, así como la comprensión de la distribución y las condiciones de vida de esta planta en el territorio. Objetivo. Construir un modelo de distribución geográfica y potencial del mortiño, además de cuantificar la diversidad vegetal y analizar las especies asociadas, junto con los usos e importancia de la especie en su contexto de vida. Materiales y métodos. Se implementó una metodología de investigación acción participativa, con encuestas, entrevistas, recorridos de campo con la comunidad y talleres participativos. Para desarrollar los mapas de distribución, se emplearon los programas ArcGIS 10.5 y MaxEnt 3.4.4. Los índices de diversidad biológica, como Shannon-Weiner y Simpson, junto con el valor de importancia, se determinaron para evaluar la riqueza de especies. El estudio se llevó a cabo en el corregimiento El Encano, Nariño-Colombia, durante el año 2021. Resultados. La comunidad resaltó el uso del mortiño en alimentación y medicina tradicional. Se identificaron 21 especies asociadas, siendo el helecho (Blechnum loxense (Kunth)) la más importante. La distribución de V. floribundum se atribuye a condiciones climáticas favorables, con temperaturas entre 8 y 16 °C y un gradiente altitudinal de 2800 a 3200 m s. n. m. Conclusiones. El estudio reveló dos ecosistemas propicios para el mortiño: el bosque altoandino y el páramo. El índice de valor de importancia destaca al helecho como la especie más representativa asociada al mortiño, información valiosa para la conservación y manejo sostenible de estos ecosistemas en la región.
2D equivalent linear ground response analysis for randomized site profiles
Authors: Chala Ayele , Ray Richard 
Published: May 2024

AbstractLocal soil conditions play a crucial role in shaping ground surface responses and impacting the intensity of ground shaking. In this study, the influence of different site profiles on computed ground motion was investigated using a 2D equivalent linear analysis approach. Four distinct site profiles: sand, clay, sand-clay-sand-clay, and clay-sand-clay-sand profiles were considered. The results were presented using multiple metrics, including surface acceleration, displacement, modulus decreasing ratio, and coherence analysis. Notably, the clay profile significantly influenced ground motion, while the sand profile exhibited relatively lower seismic activity. This suggests that softer sites significantly influence ground motion, leading to potentially high levels of shaking.

Published: May 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo debater os contextos de formação inicial do professor em artes cênicas em Goiás e suas implicações no ensino de arte-teatro nas escolas públicas. Recorremos a autores como Barbosa (1978), Charlot (2013), Matias (2020), Manzi (2019) para pensar o lugar do teatro na escola e a formação de professores. Enfrentamos o problema do preenchimento do quadro da modulação da escola com professor não licenciado na área, acarretando fatores que comprometem o ensino e aprendizado do teatro na escola. Refletimos a seguir sobre práticas que descaracterizam a identidade do profissional em artes cênicas, fragilizando tanto o ensino e a aprendizagem dessa arte quanto seu lugar já hostilizado no contexto social. Também percorremos marcos legais do processo de formação de professores de teatro.

O texto apresenta uma pesquisa cujo objetivo foi elucidar as lições de professoras da educação infantil acerca das contribuições da documentação pedagógica ao desenvolvimento profissional docente. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, do tipo colaborativa. Como procedimentos de produção de dados, utilizamos a entrevista narrativa, realizada via Plataforma Teams; o ateliê de autobiografia docente; e cartas, que foram escritas e trocadas pelas professoras iniciantes e experientes. Como referencial teórico, utilizamos Ostetto (2000; 2012; 2018), Oliveira-Formosinho (2011; 2016; 2019), Nóvoa (2009; 2017; 2019), Freire (1996; 1997). Para a interpretação dos dados, fizemos uso da Análise de conteúdo de Bardin (1977). As lições identificadas envolvem a relação teoria e prática no percurso formativo; a necessidade de ampliação de tempos e espaços de formação continuada centrada nos Centros de Educação Infantil; as necessidades que requerem que os professores experientes se tornem mentores dos professores iniciantes na inserção à docência; o encantamento das professoras com a profissão docente; as mudanças qualitativas nos registros pedagógicos durante o percurso da profissão; os atravessamentos da estética na formação do professor e na produção de documentação pedagógica e a centralidade da criança na documentação pedagógica. Como resultados das análises, destacamos a importância dos percursos formativos, sobretudo da formação continuada enquanto momentos de promoção de reflexão.
L1 content adaptations and English language teaching at tertiary level: Case of EFL learners at Tlemcen University
Authors: Hadjadj Choayb 
Published: May 2024

The Algerian reforms in higher education have shifted from the communicative approach towards the Competency-Based Instruction and the role of the teacher has changed to someone who caters to his learner's needs. On the other hand, the Englishization process of Algerian higher education obliged subject matter teachers in different fields to learn English, which is considered a foreign language in Algeria. This exploratory research paper strives to present the findings of a study measuring the success of English Medium lectures relying on L1 content adaptations. In other words, this study examines the adapted English lectures’ content taught to students belonging to the Department of Political Sciences studying at Tlemcen University, to investigate which changes, if any, accompany the linguistic shift from L1 to English-medium teaching. It takes into account our target population, which is represented by 50 Master One Public Administration students who belong to the University of Tlemcen. Two research instruments were used in this study: an achievement test and a questionnaire. The analysis revealed the learner's good quality output and positive response to the Learning Oriented Assessment (LOA) model.
