Information structure of converb constructions: Estonian -des, -mata and -maks constructions
Authors: Simmul Carl Eric 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper describes the variation in information structure of Estonian -des, -mata and -maks constructions, and analyzes the factors influencing this variation. The paper describes information structure via the categories of information status and information role. Information status, which refers to the general pragmatic status of a linguistic unit, has two possible values: an information unit or an element of an information unit. Information role refers to the pragmatic status of an element in the information structure of a larger information unit. Information role has five possible values: focus, background of the comment, topic, frame or prominent element. Through qualitative and quantitative analysis, this article gives an account of the variation in the information status and information role of Estonian converb constructions. In addition, this paper discusses the way in which the relevant explanatory variables relate to the information status and role of converb constructions. This analysis gives an overview of how the information status of converb constructions relates to the presence of punctuation, the position of the converb construction relative to the main clause, the number of words in the converb construction, the semantic function of the converb construction, the position of the converb within the construction, the morphological form of the converb, and the number of modifiers of the converb. This analysis also discusses how the information role of converb constructions relates to the position and semantic function of the construction and the presence of a lexicogrammatical prominence marker.
Das Ich in der Geschlechterforschung

Abstract
This article calls for a turn in gender studies by giving attention to the corporeal and felt experience of being gendered. The first part recaptures experience as a decisive force in the history of feminism, queer and trans studies. In the second – and larger – part we focus on theoretical and empirical evidence how the experience of gender as a way of being oneself and feeling at home (or not feeling at home) in one’s own body may transgress the normative boundaries of gender and, in the long run, transform the gendered order of a given society. Based on sociological and literary studies, the article provides examples and theoretical models to overcome the well-known divide between a (de-)constructive view on gender performativity and the insistence on the given and inescapable materiality, existence and experience of gendered human beings.
Las traducciones castellanas de narrativa breve italiana en el siglo XV
Authors: Carrascón Guillermo 
Published: November 2023

Resumen
Se repasan las principales características de las colecciones de narrativa breve italianas que fueron elegidas para su traducción al español por personas relacionadas con el ambiente de impresores y libreros. Uno de los criterios de selección parece haber sido el éxito de ventas de estas obras en Italia y Francia, por lo que parece lícito afirmar que si por una parte las traducciones de narrativa breve ofrecieron a los escritores españoles un modelo para instaurar un nuevo género de prosa, su función en otro plano, no menos fundamental, fue la de crear un nuevo público y un nuevo mercado para un producto editorial hasta entonces inexistente en nuestro país.
The impact of Star Wars on the English language: Star Wars-derived words and constructions in present-day English corpora
Authors: Sanchez-Stockhammer Christina 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Since George Lucas’s film A New Hope was first screened in 1977, the Star Wars saga has become a pop-culture phenomenon incorporating films, videogames, books, merchandise, and a quasi-religious philosophy, but linguistic research on Star Wars is scarce and has mainly focused on language use in the films. There is as yet no investigation of the impact of Star Wars on the English language, and the present study fills this gap using corpus-linguistic methods to investigate the extent to which characteristic words and constructions from the Star Wars universe have become established in English. Five Star Wars-derived items included in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), namely Jedi, Padawan, lightsabre (with spelling variants), Yoda, and the characteristic construction to the dark side were analysed regarding their frequency of occurrence in four corpora of present-day English (COCA, COHA, BNC, BNC Spoken 2014) and coded regarding their level of independence from the original films. The results show that over one-third of the uses of the investigated Star Wars-derived items are innovative (like the BNC example Other imbibers have gone over to the dark side of beer, rejecting the pasteurised lager produced by the breweries) and thus well integrated into the English language.

Abstract
Mixed dimensional van der Waals heterostructure based on layered two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) interfaced to gallium nitride (GaN) has attracted tremendous attention due to its unique properties and application in novel electronic, optoelectronic, and quantum devices. However, developing facile synthesis methods and insights into the exciton dynamics for this system still remains a major challenge. Here, a simple and cost-effective method is demonstrated for large-scale synthesis of monolayer MoS2 on differently doped GaN substrates. A mixed aqueous solution of Na2MoO4 and NaOH is spin-coated on GaN and sulfurated in one step by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). High quality monolayer MoS2 nanosheets with side length over 400 μm and surface coverage ratio of more than 90 % are achieved on GaN. Furthermore, the PL intensity, excitonic transition ratios and ultrafast exciton dynamics of MoS2 are observed to be largely modulated by the doping type of GaN, owing to substrate-induced doping, which is proved by Raman, PL and transient absorption spectroscopy. Notably, p-GaN can attract electrons from monolayer MoS2 and weaken its intrinsic n-doping, thereby facilitating higher PL intensity as well as longer exciton lifetime, while n-GaN provides strong n-doping and generates opposite effect. This work hereby presents a pathway for large-scale synthesis of MoS2/GaN heterostructures and further understanding of their charge transfer properties and exciton dynamics, which should inspire their applications for optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers are promising materials for light-emitting devices due to their excellent electric and optical properties. However, defects are inevitably introduced in the fabrication of TMDC monolayers, significantly influencing their emission properties. Although photoluminescence (PL) is considered as an effective tool for investigating the defects in TMDC monolayers. However, the PL from the defect-bound excitons is revealed only at low temperatures. Here, we show that the PL from the defect-bound excitons in a WS2 monolayer can be effectively revealed at room temperature by exploiting the transverse electric polarized wave supported by a Si3N4/Ag heterostructure. It is revealed that the defect-bound excitons in all possible positions of the WS2 monolayer can be effectively excited by the TE wave with significantly enhanced in-plane electric field localized on the surface of the Si3N4 layer. In addition, the emission from defect-bound excitons can propagate to the collection point with small attenuation. More importantly, the exciton dynamics in the WS2 monolayer can be modified by the Si3N4/Ag heterostructure, allowing the simultaneous excitation of neutral excitons, charge excitons (trions), and defect-bound excitons in the WS2 monolayer attached on the Si3N4/Ag heterostructure. We inspect the PL spectra obtained at different positions and find that the relative intensity of defect-bound excitons depends on the collection position. We also examine the dependences of the PL intensity and bandwidth on the excitation power for the three types of excitons. It is found that they exhibit different behaviors from those observed in the optical measurements by using the traditional excitation method. Our findings suggest a new way for exciting and studying the dynamics of multi-excitons at room temperature and indicate the potential applications of the TE wave in probing the defects in TMDC monolayers.
A compact weak measurement to observe the spin Hall effect of light
Authors: Kim Minkyung 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The spin Hall effect of light (SHEL), a microscopic and transverse splitting of linearly polarized light into circularly polarized components during refraction and reflection, can be measured at subnanometer scales using weak measurements and has emerged as a powerful candidate for precision measurements. However, despite the strong demand for compact and miniaturized sensors and precision metrology, no efforts have downsized the weak measurements. Here I demonstrate that the location of the interface where the SHEL occurs does not impact the results of weak measurements and building on this observation, propose a modified setup called the compact weak measurement to reduce the form factor by replacing one convex lens with a concave one. The concept is theoretically validated and numerically confirmed across various setup parameters and interfaces. The compact weak measurement effectively reduces the required free space distance by twice the focal length and will facilitate the implementation of SHEL-based precision measurements in practical applications.

Abstract
Rhodium-103m is one of the most attractive Auger electron emitters for internal radiotherapy. The half-life of 103mRh is relatively short (56.114 min). Therefore, it needs to be produced using a generator for clinical use. Most studies of 103Pd/103mRh generators using anion-exchange resins were carried out over 50 years ago. However, these resins are no longer commercially available. In the present study, we tested a 103Pd/103mRh generator using alternative anion-exchange resins (i.e., IRA904, IRA410, SA20A, and SA11AL). No-carrier-added 103Pd was used to make the generators. The 103mRh product was eluted from the generators using 6 mL of 0.1 M HCl with a flow rate 0.5 mL/min. The generator made from SA11AL showed good performance, with a yield of 39 %, an impurity level of 103Pd in the product of 0.29 %, and an operation time of 14 min. This makes this generator competitive with previously developed ones.
Chinese tag questions: the CP/DP pro-form analysis
Authors: Chiu Liching Livy 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper investigates the behaviors of tag questions in Chinese and proposes a unifying analysis involving empty CP/DP pro-forms and predication. It is found that there are universally two types of Tag questions – (i) the invariable type and (ii) the (modal) verbal type, which correspond to the question-types in Chinese syntax. Previous research by Culivocer (1992. English tag questions in Universal Grammar. Lingua 88. 193–226) analyzed English tag questions as a pro-IP structure that is bound by a previous sentence. However, in Chinese, two types of tag questions include both A-not-A form and particle form. Furthermore, both the two kinds of tag questions display syntactic predication between the tag and an empty subject pro. An abbreviated “yes-no question” is attached to empty CP/DP constituents in these constructions.
Minimizing Maladaptations Derived From Tennis Serve Training and Competition Loads

Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT
Junior tennis players perform many high-intensity serves during practice and competition. These demands can potentially put specific musculoskeletal structures at risk of developing negative adaptations that can increase the likelihood of injury. In addition, serve velocity enhancement sessions commonly include motion-specific resistance training approaches that can increase the load on these already at-risk muscles and joints. Therefore, it is essential to address holistically the optimization of serve training. To minimize harmful musculoskeletal adaptations and maximize performance, a multiperspective approach is advised when designing a serve training program for junior tennis players. This paper will propose methodological recommendations that can be included in these programs. Examples and suggestions include the benefits of incorporating general strength training tasks to minimize asymmetries and build robustness. Furthermore, on-court injury prevention protocols are proposed to target specific altered body structures and overall serving loads. Finally, load management strategies should ensure that training is controlled and organized appropriately.

AbstractIntermittent fasting (IF) is a promising strategy to counteract ageing shown to increase the number of adult‐born neurons in the dentate gyrus of mice. However, it is unclear which steps of the adult neurogenesis process are regulated by IF. The number of adult neural stem cells (NSCs) decreases with age in an activation‐dependent manner and, to counteract this loss, adult NSCs are found in a quiescent state which ensures their long‐term maintenance. We aimed to determine if and how IF affects adult NSCs in the hippocampus. To identify the effects of every‐other‐day IF on NSCs and all following steps in the neurogenic lineage, we combined fasting with lineage tracing and label retention assays. We show here that IF does not affect NSC activation or maintenance and, that contrary to previous reports, IF does not increase neurogenesis. The same results are obtained regardless of strain, sex, diet length, tamoxifen administration or new‐born neuron identification method. Our data suggest that NSCs maintain homeostasis upon IF and that this intervention is not a reliable strategy to increase adult neurogenesis.
LRG1 predicts the prognosis and is associated with immune infiltration in thyroid cancer: a bioinformatics study
Authors: Fu Zherui , Lai Yi , Wang Qianfei , Lin Feng , Fang Jiaping 
Published: November 2023

Background
The diagnostic and prognostic value of the leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) gene in thyroid cancer remains unclear. Using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, we conducted a bioinformatics analysis to determine the role of LRG1 in thyroid cancer.

Methods
Data from 512 patients with thyroid cancer and 59 normal individuals were collected from TCGA database. The Kruskal–Wallis test and logistic analysis were used to examine the relationship between LRG1 expression and clinicopathologic characteristics. Cox regression and Kaplan–Meier analysis were used to determine the predictive value of LRG1 on clinical outcomes. Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was used to reveal associations between LRG1 expression and immune infiltration levels in thyroid cancer.

Results

LRG1 was highly expressed in thyroid cancer (P < 0.001) and could effectively distinguish tumor tissue (area under the curve = 0.875) from normal tissue. Moreover, LRG1 was significantly correlated with pathological N stage (odds ratio (OR) = 2.411 (1.659–3.505), P < 0.001). Kaplan–Meier survival analysis revealed that patients with high LRG1 expression had better overall survival (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.30, P = 0.038). Cox regression analysis indicated that pathological M stage was a risk factor for progression-free interval (HR = 5.964 (2.010–17.694), P < 0.001). Using ssGSEA, we found that LRG1 expression was positively correlated with the number of T helper 1 cells (R = 0.435, P < 0.001), dendritic cells (R = 0.442, P < 0.001), and macrophages (R = 0.459, P < 0.001).

Conclusion

LRG1 may be an important biomarker for predicting the prognosis of thyroid cancer and represent a suitable target for immunotherapy associated with immune infiltration.
