Semantic agreement in Russian: Gender, declension, and morphological ineffability
Authors: Privizentseva Mariia 
Published: November 2023

AbstractIn this paper, I argue that declension classes are not primitives (see Aronoff 1994; Alexiadou 2004; Kramer 2015; i.a.), but are decomposed into simpler features, one of which is gender (Harris 1991; Wiese 2004; Caha 2019). The argument is based on semantic gender agreement in Russian, where a grammatically masculine noun can trigger feminine agreement if its referent is female (Mučnik 1971; Pesetsky 2013). Semantic agreement is grammatical only in those forms where a regular nominal exponent is syncretic with an exponent of a declension class that includes feminine nouns. In other forms, conflicting masculine and feminine gender features lead to ineffability in morphology (cf. Schütze 2003; Asarina 2011; Coon and Keine 2020). Ineffability arises because the Subset Principle (Halle 1997) that holds between features of a vocabulary item and a terminal at the point of Vocabulary Insertion is violated later in the derivation. This is in turn possible if Vocabulary Insertion applying cyclically bottom-up (Bobaljik 2000) is interleaved with Lowering that alters structure below a triggering node (Embick and Noyer 2001). Finally, I show that Russian also has a number of cases where conflicting gender features in a noun phrase do not result in a realization failure (Iomdin 1980). The difference between these patterns is derived in a principled way and follows from the positions where conflicting features are introduced.

AbstractThis paper reviews our historical developments of broken-symmetry (BS) and beyond BS methods that are applicable for theoretical investigations of metalloenzymes such as OEC in PSII. The BS hybrid DFT (HDFT) calculations starting from high-resolution (HR) XRD structure in the most stable S1 state have been performed to elucidate structure and bonding of whole possible intermediates of the CaMn4Ox cluster (1) in the Si (i = 0 ~ 4) states of the Kok cycle. The large-scale HDFT/MM computations starting from HR XRD have been performed to elucidate biomolecular system structures which are crucial for examination of possible water inlet and proton release pathways for water oxidation in OEC of PSII. DLPNO CCSD(T0) computations have been performed for elucidation of scope and reliability of relative energies among the intermediates by HDFT. These computations combined with EXAFS, XRD, XFEL, and EPR experimental results have elucidated the structure, bonding, and reactivity of the key intermediates, which are indispensable for understanding and explanation of the mechanism of water oxidation in OEC of PSII. Interplay between theory and experiments have elucidated important roles of four degrees of freedom, spin, charge, orbital, and nuclear motion for understanding and explanation of the chemical reactivity of 1 embedded in protein matrix, indicating the participations of the Ca(H2O)n ion and tyrosine(Yz)-O radical as a one-electron acceptor for the O–O bond formation. The Ca-assisted Yz-coupled O–O bond formation mechanisms for water oxidation are consistent with recent XES and very recent time-resolved SFX XFEL and FTIR results.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe Scimitar-horned Oryx (Oryx dammah) is a large terrestrial mammal native to Africa. Since the year 2000, it is classified as extinct in the wild. It is a subject of various conservation projects. The aim of this study was to describe the arterial vascularization of the brain in this species of oryx. Three different anatomical methods were used to obtain a complete arterial pattern - latex injection, corrosion cast, and computed tomography. The arterial vascularization of the brain was described. The main components of the cerebral arterial circle were the rostral cerebral arteries and the caudal communicating arteries. These vessels were created from the intracranial part of the internal carotid artery, that emerged from the rostral epidural rete mirabile. In the juvenile specimen, the whole internal carotid artery was observed. The anatomical pathways of the blood supply to the brain are important during medical procedures in cases of congestion and fainting caused by inadequate brain blood perfusion.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe article describes the application of the Kaplan–Meier and Weibull procedures for the qualitative assessment of aluminum bronzes obtained from the remelting of metals (e.g., copper, aluminum, iron, manganese). The analysis was carried out on the example of selected bronzes, evaluating the influence of chemical composition on fatigue strength. Melting kinetics and method of casting alloys as well as the influence of admixtures on the castings’ properties are important for quality assessment of mentioned alloys. The performed analyses of bronze production show that small changes in the technological process can have a significant impact on the content of individual elements in the alloy, thus determining the properties of the cast element. The calculations carried out allowed for the estimation of the "survivability" function, including the probability of failure using fatigue tests on randomly selected samples. The tests carried out showed that the BA1032 alloy withstands a maximum of 4.89 h (out of 5 h assumed during the strength test) of loads with the parameters assumed in the company. The quality of production was improved by applied methods of statistical assessment of chemical composition allowed to obtain the probability of destruction at the level of 6.13%.

AbstractDespite the ever-increasing demand of nanofillers for thermal enhancement of polymer composites with higher thermal conductivity and irregular geometry, nanomaterials like carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been constrained by the nonuniform dispersion and difficulty in constructing effective three-dimensional (3D) conduction network with low loading and desired isotropic or anisotropic (specific preferred heat conduction) performances. Herein, we illustrated the in-situ construction of CNT based 3D heat conduction networks with different directional performances. First, to in-situ construct an isotropic percolated conduction network, with spherical cores as support materials, we developed a confined-growth technique for CNT-core sea urchin (CNTSU) materials. With 21.0 wt.% CNTSU loading, the thermal conductivity of composites reached 1.43 ± 0.13 W/(m·K). Secondly, with aligned hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) as an anisotropic support, we constructed CNT-hBN aligned networks by in-situ CNT growth, which improved the utilization efficiency of high density hBN and reduced the thermal interface resistance between matrix and fillers. With ~ 8.5 wt.% loading, the composites possess thermal conductivity up to 0.86 ± 0.14 W/(m·K), 374% of that for neat matrix. Due to the uniformity of CNTs in hBN network, the synergistic thermal enhancement from one-dimensional (1D) + two-dimensional (2D) hybrid materials becomes more distinct. Based on the detailed experimental evidence, the importance of purposeful production of a uniformly interconnected heat conduction 3D network with desired directional performance can be observed, particularly compared with the traditional direct-mixing method. This study opens new possibilities for the preparation of high-power-density electronics packaging and interfacial materials when both directional thermal performance and complex composite geometry are simultaneously required.
Miocene Stromboid Gastropods (Superfamily Stromboidea Rafinesque, 1815) from the Dwarka Basin, Western India and their Paleobiogeographic Implications

Abstract
Stromboid gastropods (Superfamily Stromboidea) are one of the most diverse groups of gastropods present in the Neogene marine successions of western India. In the present endeavor, we report eight stromboid species, of which four are described as new, from the early-middle Miocene marine successions of the Dwarka Basin, western India. The species are Conomurex indica n. sp., Persististrombus deperditus, Persististrombus sp., Dilatilabrum mahalonobisi n. sp., Tibia indica, Terebellum obtusum, Hemithersitea kanerus n. sp. and Hemithersitea nadharus n. sp. Paleobiogeographic distribution of most of the stromboid genera reported here reveals a unidirectional migration from the Tethys Region towards the Indo-Pacific Region during the Paleogene and Neogene. Conomurex originated in the western India and further radiated to the eastern Indian-Western Pacific localities with the onset of the Neogene. Persististrombus and Tibia show widespread distribution in the Mediterranean and gradually radiated towards the eastern Africa-western India localities during the Paleogene. However, from the middle Miocene onwards, these two genera further migrated towards the eastern Indian-Western Pacific localities and became more diverse. The remaining two genera, i.e., Dilatilabrum and Hemithersitea originated in the Mediterranean and later migrated to take refuge in western India during the late Paleogene, and ultimately succumbed to extinction during the middle Miocene.

Published: November 2023

AbstractA new genus and species of Loricifera, Scaberiloricus samba gen. et sp. nov., is described from the continental shelf and slope off Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Adult morphology remains unknown for the new entity, but information is available from three different Higgins larval instars. The Higgins larva of the new species is characterised by a bulbous head and a slender, elongate trunk, separated by a constriction behind the head. The cuticle of the thorax and the posterior part of the head is characterised by numerous longitudinal zigzag folds. The new species and genus shows greatest morphological resemblance with Wataloricus japonicus, and a phylogenetic analysis based on Higgins larval morphological characters suggests that Scaberiloricus gen. nov., Wataloricus, Tenuiloricus, and Patuloricus form a monophyletic group within Pliciloricidae. The analysis furthermore suggests that the Higgins larvae of Scaberiloricus gen. nov. and Wataloricus represent transitional, evolutionary stages towards the highly aberrant Shira larvae, found in species of Tenuiloricus and Patuloricus.

AbstractXylella fastidiosa is an aggressive plant pathogenic bacterium of significant quarantine concern. Accurate and reliable detection tools are essential to minimise the risk of the pathogen’s spread and for outbreak control, as limited post-infection management strategies are possible. Here, we report the development of a specific and potentially field-deployable assay combining a pre-existing Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) assay and a Cas12a-based DNA Endonuclease-Targeted (DETECTR) Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) trans reporter for X. fastidiosa detection. The LAMP-CRISPR-Cas12a integrated assay detected the amplified target region of the X. fastidiosa specific rimM gene at the low femto-molar range within 10 min of initiation. The assay detected varied X. fastidiosa sub-species in a range of naturally infected and economically relevant host material, with no non-target amplification recorded. The results show integration of LAMP with CRISPR-based detection is a specific, sensitive and a potentially field-adaptable strategy for the detection of X. fastidiosa and has the potential for further operationally focused improvements.

Abstract
Purpose
The gastric adenocarcinoma (GC) represents the third cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and available therapeutic options remain sub-optimal. The Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) are oncogenic transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptors. FGFR inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of various cancers and a STAT3-dependent regulation of FGFR4 has been documented in the H.pylori infected intestinal GC. Therefore, the modulation of FGFR4 might be useful for the treatment of GC.

Methods
To investigate wich factors could modulate FGFR4 signalling in GC, we employed RNA-seq analysis on GC patients biopsies, human patients derived organoids (PDOs) and cancer cell lines.

Results
We report that FGFR4 expression/function is regulated by the leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) an IL-6 related oncogenic cytokine, in JAK1/STAT3 dependent manner. The transcriptomic analysis revealed a direct correlation between the expression of LIFR and FGFR4 in the tissue of an exploratory cohort of 31 GC and confirmed these findings by two external validation cohorts of GC. A LIFR inhibitor (LIR-201) abrogates STAT3 phosphorylation induced by LIF as well as recruitment of pSTAT3 to the promoter of FGFR4. Furthermore, inhibition of FGFR4 by roblitinib or siRNA abrogates STAT3 phosphorylation and oncogentic effects of LIF in GC cells, indicating that FGFR4 is a downstream target of LIF/LIFR complex. Treating cells with LIR-201 abrogates oncogenic potential of FGF19, the physiological ligand of FGFR4.

Conclusions
Together these data unreveal a previously unregnized regulatory mechanism of FGFR4 by LIF/LIFR and demonstrate that LIF and FGF19 converge on the regulation of oncogenic STAT3 in GC cells.

Orchestration of inflammation in contact allergy by innate immune and cellular stress responses
Authors: Martin Stefan F. , Rühl-Muth Anne-Catherine , Esser Philipp R. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background
Inflammation is central to the initiation of immune responses and to the pathogenesis of many diseases such as allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). ACD is an inflammatory skin disease caused by low molecular weight organic chemicals and metal ions. The immune system plays a decisive role. After protein binding, the triggering chemicals act as contact allergens that are recognized by specific T cells. Before this can happen, however, the chemicals must trigger inflammation in the skin, without which the adaptive immune system in particular is not activated.

Methods
In recent years, the inflammatory mechanisms of contact allergy have been studied at the cellular and molecular level in vivo and in vitro.

Results
Contact allergens activate the innate immune system and additionally cellular stress responses, which in interaction are responsible for skin inflammation. In this context, inflammation is required for both initial sensitization and elicitation of ACD.

Conclusion
Skin inflammation in ACD is orchestrated by the interplay of the innate immune system and cellular stress responses.
Healing and Meaning Making Through Storytelling and Poetry
Authors: Joranger Line 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe article highlights the way storytelling and poetry can heal a worried mind and make sense of life events. Three main focuses will be presented and discussed. First is the nature and quality of storytelling and how it relates to meaning making and life events. Second is the healing power and freedom of the words used in poetry. Third is storytelling and poetry as imagination and everyday experiences. The relationship between meaning making and storytelling is something neither determined by innate biological drives nor solely created in the individual mind. To speak of meaning making in first-person narratives, one must include the concepts of culture, politics, history, and living in the world with others. By weaving concepts from the field of art, philosophy, history, psychology, sociology, and anthropology, the manuscript shows how storytelling and poetry deal with experiences and emotions that affect our understanding of life events. First-person narratives guide us back to people’s everyday experiences and let us understand human experiences and meaning making in the way that they are seamlessly lived. Meaning making and storytelling are universal cultural activities that we need to understand to communicate and understand oneself and others.

Published: November 2023

AbstractArtificial intelligence (AI) can be used in a variety of fields and has the potential to alter how we currently view farming. Due to its emphasis on effectiveness and usability artificial intelligence has the largest impact on agriculture of all industries. We highlight the automation-supporting technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, and Long-Range (LoRa) technology which provides data integrity and protection. We also offer a structure for smart farming that depends on the location of data processing after a comprehensive investigation of numerous designs. As part of our future study we have divided the unresolved difficulties in smart agriculture into two categories such as networking issues and technology issues. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are examples of technologies whereas the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer satellite and LoRa are used for all network-related jobs. The goal of the research is to deploy a network of sensors throughout agricultural fields to gather real-time information on a variety of environmental factors including temperature, humidity, soil moisture and nutrient levels. The seamless data transmission and communication made possible by these sensors’ integration with Internet of Things technologies. With the use of AI techniques and algorithms the gathered data is examined. The technology may offer practical insights and suggestions for improving agricultural practices because the AI models are trained to spot patterns, correlations, and anomalies in the data. We are also focusing on indoor farming by supplying Ultra Violet radiation and artificial lighting in accordance with plant growth. When a pest assault is detected using AI and LoRa even in poor or no network coverage area and notifies the farmer’s mobile in any part of the world. The irrigation system is put to the test with various plants at various humidity and temperature levels in both dry and typical situations. To keep the water content in those specific regions soil moisture sensors are used.

Published: November 2023

Despite strong interest in the role of institutions; methods of operation, underlying political forces and their precise nature are still misunderstood. Partial analysis of specific aspects of public interventions simplified historical examples, or rough cross-country relationships tend to be the main guides to policy recommendations. Along with four in-depth country studies, published in companion volumes, Institutional Challenges at the Early Stages of Development gives a thorough review of the experiences of South Korea and Taiwan, offering a new perspective for identifying critical institutional issues. Including those related to state-business relations and the economic structure, and its transformation, analytical tools and concept are provided to help diagnose important hurdles at the early stage of a country's development.

Strategic Foresight and Policy Evaluation: Insights for an Integrated Approach
Authors: De Vito Laura , Taffoni Gaia 
Published: November 2023

AbstractGrand challenges are shaping twenty-first-century politics. Threats connected to health, climate, demographics and welfare are increasingly intruding on the lives of citizens. Still, governments are often found off-guard, and policymakers need strategies grounded in longer-term perspectives. Strategic foresight (SF) helps us to design and shape policies to prepare to withstand shocks, anticipating and adapting to changes. However, as governments work towards embedding SF into their policymaking processes, the empirical evidence suggests that applications are still piecemeal and predominantly limited to the agenda-settings and policy formulation stages. In this article, we argue that to drive anticipatory governance, foresight needs to be applied at all stages of the policy cycle, including in evaluating policies to draw lessons for future interventions. We maintain that considering SF systemically throughout the policymaking cycle, from agenda setting to evaluation, strengthens anticipatory governance.
Speech and language development in children with acquired subglottic
stenosis
Authors: Sell Debbie , MacCurtain Frances 
Published: November 2023

Most children with acquired subglottic stenosis require a tracheostomy.
This paper describes the communication skills of children with
tracheostomies before and after decannulation.
There are also a small number of children with acquired subglottic
stenosis who do not require a tracheostomy. They are rarely referred for
speech therapy. Quiney et al. (1986) in a
retrospective review described this group as all having normal speech
development. It should be noted, however, that the lack of comment of a
speech delay in the medical notes is inconclusive. Unless there is an
ongoing study with a speech therapist routinely assessing the speech and
language development of this group, one cannot conclude categorically that
this group is always free of problems in their speech development.
