Abstract
The local pulse wave velocity (PWV) from large elastic arteries and its pressure-dependent changes within a cardiac cycle are potential biomarkers for cardiovascular risk stratification. However, pulse wave reflections can impair the accuracy of local PWV measurements. We propose a method to measure pressure-dependent variations in local PWV while minimizing the influence of pulse wave reflections. The PWV is computed from the pulse transit time between two forward-traveling pulse waveforms obtained across known path length, after measured/modelled flow-based wave separation analysis (WSA). An in-vivo study of 60 participants (24 female), was conducted to compare inter- and intra-cycle variations in PWV obtained from measured and forward pulse waves. For this, proximal and distal diameter waveforms from the carotid artery, along with carotid tonometry, were recorded using a custom bi-modal arterial probe. The carotid blood flow for WSA was captured with an ultrasound imaging system. The reference PWV was derived from the Bramwell-Hill equation. After WSA, the reliability of PWV measurement improved with coefficient of variation reducing from 25% to 10% near the peak of the pulse waves and matched the reference PWV with no statistically significant difference. The average PWV at foot of the pulse wave before and after WSA were comparable to the reference PWV with no statistically significant difference. The coherence of carotid pulse pressure obtained from the mean values of PWV within a cardiac cycle after WSA with that of the carotid pulse pressure from tonometry, substantiates the results obtained for reflection-free PWV. The reliability of measuring local PWV and its pressure dependent variations within a cardiac cycle is improved by combining transit-time approach with WSA.

Abstract
Unsustainable wild meat hunting poses a significant threat to wildlife and tropical forest ecosystems. While high levels of extraction linked to commercial trade have received significant attention, the sustainability of subsistence hunting by Indigenous Peoples in Africa has been less studied. Understanding how changing lifestyles, particularly the sedentarisation of former hunter-gatherers, have affected the use of forest resources is crucial for wildlife conservation and livelihoods. The spatial management of hunting through the establishment of no-take zones, which act as sources for adjacent hunting areas, offers promise for the sustainability of Indigenous livelihoods. We conducted an extensive camera trap study in hunting areas subject to source-sink dynamics used by 10 sedentarised Baka communities. We compared species richness, occupancy, abundance, and community composition to a relatively non-hunted reference area in the adjacent Dja Faunal Reserve. Subsistence hunting by the Baka had a limited impact on species richness but significantly altered community composition and the abundance of carnivores, seed dispersers and granivores. These changes highlight that even the spatial management of hunting may have consequences for the sustainability of hunting systems and the functional ecology of tropical forests.
Multilingual Learners With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Developmental Language Disorder: Assessing an Underserved Population of Learners
Authors: Watson Silvana M. R. , Westby Carol 
Published: January 2025

Purpose:
The intent of this article is to explain the complexity of the diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and developmental language disorder (DLD) in multilingual (ML) children and adolescents and to offer strategies for speech-language pathologists charged with diagnosis of language impairment in these children. Although both ADHD and DLD are common neurobehavioral disorders that exist across cultures, it can be difficult to diagnose MLs who are learning a second language (L2) and are not part of the mainstream culture because behavioral and language characteristics of both ADHD and DLD overlap with characteristics of L2 learning. As a result of this overlap of characteristics, ML children are both overidentified and underidentified for special education services. We describe the nature of the overlapping characteristics of ADHD, DLD, and L2 learning and offer a number of strategies that have evidence for their usefulness in the assessment of ML children.

Conclusions:
There is no quick and easy way to diagnose ADHD and DLD in ML children and adolescents. Clinicians must employ a convergent evidence approach, ideally using multiple strategies for evaluation including observations of the child in different contexts, interviewing caregivers and teachers (as well as the child), and administering formal and informal assessments. Clinicians should be alert to the possibility that L2 children's performance may be influenced by trauma associated with their migrant or refugee experiences and the stress of expectations in an unfamiliar environment, which overloads their working memory.
Optimal operation and offering strategy for profit‐seeking of a coal‐mine energy prosumer in a liberalised market

Published: January 2025

AbstractCoal mines consume electricity from grids while making use of various derived energy resources to generate heat and power. This allows coal mines to act as energy prosumers. This paper presents an integrated optimisation model of optimal operation and offers strategies for profit‐seeking of a coal‐mine energy prosumer in a liberalised market. The discussed problem is formulated as a tri‐stage bi‐level programming model. In the upper level, the coal mine‐integrated energy system (CMIES) operator decides the retail contract management, equipment operation plan, and retail electricity price offered to end‐users through three stages to maximise its expected profits at a predefined risk level. In the lower level, the end‐users react to the price bids offered by the CMIES operator under study and other market retailers to minimise their costs for energy procurement. Unlike previous approaches, the endogenous uncertainties associated with market subjects' strategic behaviours are explicitly considered. To solve the proposed problem efficiently, the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions and multicut benders decomposition method are employed. The simulation results show that the collaborative optimisation of the energy cycle and production scheduling can reduce daily operating costs by nearly $3576 and carbon emissions by 6.72 tons, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Research on methods to enhance the survivability of AWACS with FDA against anti‐ARMs on a battlefield

Published: January 2025

AbstractThe Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) are pivotal assets in aerial operations, necessitating specialised protection measures, and serving as prime targets for enemy anti‐radiation missiles (ARMs). This paper explores approaches to enhance the battlefield survivability of frequency diverse array AWACS (FDA‐AWACS) by incorporating airborne radar technology onto the platform. The study commences by analysing the typical operational methods of anti‐radiation missiles. Following this, a deception model is formulated for the frequency diverse array (FDA) against the passive radar homing head of anti‐radiation missiles utilising the adjacent antenna single‐pulse amplitude‐comparison direction‐finding technique. Expanding on this groundwork, the research further assesses the deceptive impacts of FDA‐AWACS on direction finding cross‐location techniques. Simulation results validate that FDA‐AWACS can effectively counter the threat of anti‐radiation missiles by diminishing their direction‐finding and positioning systems.
Gay men’s experiences of holding hands in public: Psychosocial dilemmas and the discourse of homophobia
Authors: Rohleder Poul , Walsh Julie 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
For many members of the LGBTQ community, holding hands with their partners in public, and other public displays of affection (PDAs) is seldom a carefree and spontaneous act. Survey studies have previously indicated that a majority of LGBTQ individuals report that they never hold hands with their partner in public, out of a fear of possible negative or abusive reactions from others. To contribute to qualitative research in this area, in this article we develop an account of the role of homophobia and internalised homophobia in gay men’s experience of navigating the act of holding hands with their partners across different landscapes. We take a detailed look at interview material from three study participants to consider the psychic struggles involved when negotiating internal and external barriers to holding hands. The data was generated through photovoice interviews and include verbal as well as visual material. Writing as two psychoanalytic practitioners, we deploy a clinically informed listening stance in our engagement with the study material and offer a distinctly psychosocial theorisation of homophobia.
Flou, vague et sous-détermination dans la référence
Authors: Gardelle Laure , Landragin Frédéric 
Published: January 2025

Abstraite
La majorité des expressions référentielles, dans leur situation
d’emploi, permettent l’identification précise d’un référent. D’autres, par
exemple les pronoms anaphoriques quand plusieurs antécédents sont envisageables,
conduisent à une ambiguïté, c’est-à-dire à des alternatives clairement
identifiées parmi lesquelles un choix reste à effectuer. Il existe d’autres cas
encore — et c’est ceux-là qui nous intéressent — où l’on ne sait pas très bien
quel(s) référent(s) sont réellement impliqués dans l’acte de référence. Ceci
concerne, entre autres, les phénomènes suivants, qualifiés parfois de flous,
vagues, ou sous-déterminés : références plurielles, référents évolutifs, pronoms
impersonnels humains. En tant qu’article introductif au numéro, nous présentons
ici, après quelques rappels terminologiques, un panorama des phénomènes de flou
référentiel.
Tout le monde
Authors: Schnedecker Catherine 
Published: January 2025

Résumé
L’objectif de cet article est d’apporter sur la locution pronominale indéfinie tout le
monde des éclairages nouveaux, absents des grammaires usuelles. À partir de la construction morphologique de la
locution, on montre son originalité au sein des divers paradigmes structurant les pronoms indéfinis en précisant ses liens avec
les notions de quantification et de partitivité et de collectif de manière à
mieux cerner la saisie référentielle qu’elle opère. Celle-ci est largement conditionnée par le contexte qui, par divers
indices linguistiques, module l’extension de l’ensemble qu’elle vise. Enfin, sur la base de corpus oraux et
écrits, on fait valoir ses spécificités par rapport aux pronoms qui lui sont prêtés comme synonymes (notamment tout un
chacun).
Suspendre la référence
Authors: Pallanti Luca 
Published: January 2025

Résumé
La littérature beckettienne permet d’interroger les limites de
l’intelligibilité textuelle à travers des choix stylistiques que l’on pourrait
considérer comme extrêmes. Dans cet article, nous étudierons comment un usage à
l’apparence ambigu des pronoms personnels et démonstratifs peut répondre à
une stylistique du flou référentiel, à son tour au service d’une philosophie et
d’une poétique de l’indéterminé. À partir d’une analyse fine des cas de
référence floue dans l’incipit du roman L’Innommable de
Beckett, nous expliciterons comment l’auteur irlandais a eu recours aux pronoms
démonstratifs flous pour retarder et donc suspendre un antécédent qui ne peut
pas être nommé, et donc identifié, pour plusieurs raisons. Cette étude
explorera les frontières de la référence pour ouvrir des pistes d’interprétation
pour les référents flous, qu’il s’agisse de textes littéraires ou artistiques,
mais aussi pour d’autres types de textes.
Référence indéfinie et (im)prédictibilité discursive
Authors: Cislaru Georgeta 
Published: January 2025

Résumé
L’article interroge le potentiel interprétatif et le fonctionnement discursif d’une série de slogans comportant
au moins un élément à référence vague ou indéfinie, à l’instar de « Ensemble, tout devient possible ». Se situant dans une
perspective de traitement incrémental qui reconnaît l’impact des attentes sur l’interprétation, l’étude exploite les résultats
d’une enquête pour observer l’évolution de l’interprétation des énoncés en fonction des informations périphériques disponibles et
donc de la capacité de reconstituer des modèles situationnels valides ainsi que d’identifier et d’exploiter le terrain commun. Les
résultats de l’étude mettent en évidence l’importance de la contextualisation dans l’interprétation, bien que celle-ci ne conduise
pas à résoudre entièrement l’indétermination. La référence indéfinie reste cependant opérationnelle et pragmatiquement pertinente
parce qu’elle est partie-prenante de la visée pragmatique persuasive de ce type d’énoncés. Mais, paradoxalement, ce n’est pas
l’énoncé du slogan qui produit de l’adhésion, c’est l’adhésion, ou du moins la compréhension de l’attente d’adhésion, qui
sous-tend l’interprétation de l’énoncé.
Go home (6 Jan 2021)
Authors: Winter-Froemel Esme 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The imperative go home represents a prominent part of a video message sent to the armed
assaulters on Capitol Hill by the then-President of the United States on 6 January 2021 via Twitter. The paper aims to investigate
to what extent this expression can be read as an ambiguous dog-whistle, and how an additional interpretation beyond the
conventional meaning ‘return to your private homes’ can be justified. It is precisely the hidden nature of the potential
additional message that illustrates a general issue of ambiguity research and pragmatics, i.e., the question of how plausible
utterance meanings can be identified. To approach these questions, the paper focuses on the general communicative setting, prior
communication between Trump and his supporters, and on linguistic features of the message (personal reference and semantic
frames). Different types of interpretative openness are discussed to refine the analyses, and a broad approach to ambiguity is
adopted that includes interpretations that are not (yet) conventionalised. The final part of the paper argues that the
simultaneous orientation to multiple addressee groups represents a key feature of Trump’s message, which is reflected by a
coexistence of different speaker instances. Comparing the example to classical examples of dog whistles, it will be classified as
an accomplice whistle. The case study highlights the importance of multiple addressing in media-based communication, and the
potential of linking ambiguity research and multiple addressing, considering different addressee groups with potentially strongly
diverging backgrounds, interests, and modalities of interpretation.
Quel rôle discursif donner à un marqueur de référence floue ?
Authors: Col Gilles , Fossard Marion , Sandoz Mélanie , Achim Amélie M. , Knutsen Dominique 
Published: January 2025

Résumé
Dans un corpus de dialogues narratifs, nous montrons que l’utilisation de « on » ne vise pas à définir une
référence claire et précise, mais plutôt à partager un point de vue et à introduire des entités sur la scène verbale : « on » sert
à rendre saillants les entités et les événements narrés tout en effaçant la source narrative, créant ainsi un flou référentiel
dynamique et évolutif. Cette observation relativise la catégorisation habituelle de « on » comme « indéfini », et souligne plutôt
son rôle essentiel dans la structuration de la narration dans un contexte de dialogue direct. Nos résultats révèlent ainsi la
contribution de « on » à la cohérence et la cohésion du discours.
Met zonder jas and other antonym errors in the
spontaneous speech of Dutch children
Authors: van Kampen Jacqueline 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This paper focuses on antonym pairs in child Dutch. Children
sometimes erroneously use the opposite word from what they intend to mean with
<±polar> pairs. Psycholinguistic studies in the 1970ties suggest that the
<−polar> member of dimensional adjectives, motion verbs and temporal
adverbs is acquired before the <+polar> one.
Another error occurs with the expression of absence. Dutch and
German children sometimes say met zonder/mit ohne (‘with
without’) as the antonym expression of
met/mit. Sauerland, Meyer & Yatsushiro (2024) argue that the <−polar> negative member ohne can
be conceptually decomposed in the positive member plus negation
(mit-neg), which children fail to see. They
‘undercompress’ negation. The decomposition also holds for the <±polar>
member of dimensional adjectives (neg-Adj).
I will argue against both claims, the acquisition order and the
undercompression idea. First, I discuss the met zonder/mit ohne
errors and offer a new alternative analysis. Subsequently, other spontaneous
speech errors with <±polar> pairs are considered.
When words sail through the desert
Authors: Bourdeau Corentin , Rojas-Berscia Luis Miguel 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Wolof is generally classified as a North-Atlantic language within the Niger-Congo phylum. However, despite a
considerable number of cognates (Merrill 2021b), this classification is more of a
working hypothesis than a demonstrated fact. Linguists such as Wilson (1989) and Lüpke (2020) consider that the Atlantic group resembles more an areal/typological class
rather than a genealogical unit, thus pointing to intense dynamics of language contact in the area. In this paper, as a follow-up
of Bourdeau and Rojas-Berscia (2023), we focus on a potential Wolof-Songhay non-genetic connection, based on triangulation (q.v. Kuorikoski & Marchionni 2016) between linguistic, historical and archaeological evidence. We further
argue that Wolof is a language in layers, resulting from constant polylectal interaction between various peoples
of the West Sudan world-system (Kea 2004).
The external and internal syntax of genoeg
Authors: Koot Malte 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
It has been known since Barbiers (2001) that genoeg ‘enough’ can turn predicate adverbs into sentence adverbs. When genoeg occurs in a sentence adverbial phrase, it is syntactically obligatory, but makes little to no semantic contribution:

(1)

Kees

heeft

gek

*(genoeg)

niet

gek

genoeg

gedanst.

Kees
has
weird

*(enough)
not
weird
enough
danced

‘Weirdly, Kees didn’t dance weirdly enough.’

In this paper, I analyse the external and internal syntax of such enough support adverbs. Using Cinque’s (1999) adverbial hierarchy, I observe that enough support splits into subject-oriented and evaluative adverbs. Next, I nuance the accepted theory that genoeg in adverbial phrases is an affix: only enough support is a full-fledged affix; regular enough is an affixoid. Finally, I analyse the internal syntax of enough support. I suggest that a Sentence Predicate Projection is needed for the formation of sentence adverbials.
The example of ‘yawning’
Authors: Heijkoop Geertje , Mous Maarten 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Body part terminology has been studied cross-linguistically, but
there are few studies on the typology of body actions. We present a pilot for a
typological study of body action lexicalization taking the action of “yawning”
as a test case. We look into the morphological properties of words for yawning
cross-linguistically, but we also look into what is considered to be the
stimulus of the action and to what extent it is under control: in popular
opinion (culture), in linguistic expression, and biomedically. The pilot results
in recommendations for data collection for such a typological study.
Variation in organic standards prior to the National Organic Program
Authors: Fetter T. Robert , Caswell Julie A. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractInterest in establishing nationally uniform certification, labeling, and management standards for organic products grew out of concern that the existence of multiple standards led to consumer and supply chain confusion about, and lack of confidence in, these products. The National Organic Program Final Rule, issued in December 2000, is the result of this interest. We analyze the certification system that was in place prior to the new national rule to evaluate the extent of differences between certification standards and how the national rule is likely to impact the market for organic products. Our analysis suggests that most differences among US certification standards were minor. Also, the most important impacts of the national standard may be in facilitating trade in ingredients and products certified by different certifiers, increasing buyer confidence, and facilitating exports. However, the national rule may decrease the ability of organic certifiers and consumers to place differing emphasis on the multiple goals of organic production and may decrease the flexibility of organic standards to respond to changing market conditions, including new technologies.
The effects of outdoor farrowing hut type on prewean piglet mortality in Iowa
Authors: Honeyman M.S. , Roush W.B. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractOutdoor pig production, usually gestation, farrowing and lactation, is an alternative swine production system that is increasing in popularity. The outdoor farrowing hut is the principal modifier of the environment for the sow and litter, as well as the primary structure to reduce prewean mortality. Prewean mortality of piglets is a major problem for both indoor and outdoor swine herds. Five types of floorless individual farrowing huts were evaluated over 4 years, during the month of September in Iowa. A total of 206 litters by primiparous crossbred sows were farrowed. Piglet deaths for the first 14 days after farrowing were recorded. Hut type had an effect on piglet prewean mortality (P < 0.10). The arc-style hut and the blunt-top A hut had only about one-third as many litters with piglet mortalities and a lower prewean mortality percentage (3.8 versus 8.5%) than an inverted U hut. This difference would be approximately a half pig/litter increase in litter size at weaning. The superior huts each had a distinct and ample sow area and safe pig areas. The safe pig areas were made by a sloping or curved roofline that came to the ground (the arc-style hut) or with guard rails (the blunt-top A hut). Overall prewean mortality for the study was low (6.0%). Crushing of piglets accounted for 93% of the prewean mortality. The study shows that outdoor farrowing systems can achieve competitiveness with low piglet mortality particularly if superior huts are used. Selection of the outdoor farrowing hut is a critical decision in planning outdoor swine farrowing systems.
