Siuslaw final-consonant reduplication and the anti-mirative domain
Authors: Shirtz Shahar 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper argues that the function of final consonant reduplication (FCR) in Siuslaw ([sis]; Oregon-Coast Penutian/Isolate) is to construe the information in a proposition as unsurprising and expected, as information that should already be known to listeners or at least well anticipated by them. This function is more or less the opposite of mirativity, where information is construed as surprising or unexpected, and is related to a functional domain that was recently labeled “enimitive”: the construal of information as “uncontroversial”. This paper shows that the discourse profile of the Siuslaw FCR includes uses that belong to the domain of the enimitive, e.g., when deployed in quoted speech or monologues, but that it also includes functionally related uses that do not belong to the enimitive domain, e.g., on the main event line of narratives and in procedural texts. The functional range of the Siuslaw FCR, then, is wider than the enimitive domain. We use this range of uses, together with the uses of similar constructions in some other languages, to argue for a functional domain of anti-mirativity that includes the enimitive as a sub-domain. We conclude by proposing a preliminary sketch of the anti-mirativity functional domain.
Comparing the Tertium Comparationis in Comparative Religion and Comparative Theology
Authors: Cornille Catherine 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The process of determining a topic for comparison or a tertium comparationis forms one of the most crucial steps in the disciplines of comparative religion (Religionswissenschaft) and comparative theology. Though the two disciplines have much in common in terms of their methodologies, they differ in terms of their ultimate goals. While comparative religion is oriented toward advancing the understanding of religion and religious phenomena, comparative theology aims at deepening and advancing religious truth. This affects the ways in which each discipline addresses critical questions of idiosyncrasy and hegemony in selecting the tertium comparationis.

Published: November 2023

Smartphones are popular devices that can process a lot of information than standard cell phones. The easier access to the internet due to the increased of smartphone technology is followed by the increase of the prevalence of smartphone users. There are several adverse effects due to the smartphone use such as physiological, psychological, social, and emotional disturbances. These adverse effects depend on the duration and frequency of smartphone use. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of smartphone use on sleep quality, depression, anxiety, and academic achievement on students. This is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The subjects of this study were 100 students that were given questionnaire about smartphone use with Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV), sleep quality with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, depression anxiety using DASS21, and academic achievement. The data was analyzed by using Spearman rho analysis. This study found significant relationship of smartphone use to sleep quality, depression anxiety with p value 0.027 and 0.001 respectively, but there was no significant relationship of smartphone use and academic achievement (p value = 0.182).

In brief
Mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (UCPs) regulate mitochondrial activity and reactive oxygen species production through the transport of protons and metabolites. This study identified the expression of UCPs in human Sertoli cells, which proved to be modulators of their mitochondrial activity.

Abstract
Mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are mitochondrial channels responsible for the transport of protons and small molecular substrates across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Altered UCP expression or function is commonly associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and increased oxidative stress, which are both known causes of male infertility. However, UCP expression and function in the human testis remain to be characterized. This study aimed to assess the UCP homologs (UCP1-6) expression and function in primary cultures of human Sertoli cells (hSCs). We identified the mRNA expression of all UCP homologs (UCP1-6) and protein expression of UCP1, UCP2, and UCP3 in hSCs. UCP inhibition by genipin for 24 h decreased hSCs proliferation without causing cytotoxicity (n = 6). Surprisingly, the prolonged UCP inhibition for 24 h decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, oxygen consumption rate (OCR), and endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. The metabolism of hSCs was also affected as UCP inhibition shifted their metabolism toward an increased pyruvate consumption. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that UCPs play a role as regulators of the mitochondrial function in hSCs, emphasizing their potential as targets in the study of male (in)fertility.

Published: November 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought outward unparalleled difficulties in the field of education, emphasizing the need for unique solutions. This study aimed to evaluate the determinants that affect the effective implementation of the automated student academic advisory system at the University of Nizwa of the Sultanate of Oman, with a particular emphasis on its influence on students' emotional intelligence during the pandemic The research utilized the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model to investigate how factors such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions influence students' behavioral intentions. In addition, the study examined the behavioral intention effects on the use of the automated system, emotional intelligence effects and the experience of COVID-19 specifically influences the actual use of the system. The study employed a case study methodology in combination with a quantitative survey method to gather data from 272 students and advisors at the University of Nizwa. The collected data was analyzed using SmartPLS, a technique known as structural equation modeling. The research provides useful information on the adoption of technology in an educational environment and its impact on student well-being and emotional intelligence. The study found that only performance expectancy and facilitating condition factors had a substantial impact on behavioral intention, whereas effort expectancy and social influence did not. Behavioral intention showed a positive correlation with actual usage, but performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence did not directly influence the actual utilization. Moreover, behavioral intention served as a mediator for the indirect impact of performance expectancy and facilitating conditions on actual usage. However, it did not mediate the indirect impact of social influence and effort expectancy on actual utilization. Furthermore, the impact of COVID-19 and emotional intelligence did not influence the relationship between facilitating conditions and actual use. These findings offer valuable information into understanding educational technology, particularly in situations of global crises, and offer practical recommendations for educators, legislators, and academic institutions seeking to enhance student participation, support, and general well-being.

Published: November 2023

Background. Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common and widespread peripheral neuropathy in the world. The diagnostic testing methods for the carpal tunnel syndrome are based on anamnesis data, objective and instrumental inspection. Electroneuromyography is the main instrumental test when carpal tunnel syndrome is suspected. An ultrasound imaging may also be performed. Objective. To determine the effectiveness, sensitivity and specificity of instrumental diagnostics methods used to diagnose the carpal tunnel syndrome, and to compare them. Methods. Diagnostic testing – ultrasound and electroneuromyography was applied to persons under study. The area of the median nerve (mm2) was assessed during the ultrasound examination. The results of the electroneuromyography study evaluated the response speed of the sensory impulse (ms), the speed of the motor impulse response (ms). Later, the tests, their sensitivity and specificity were evaluated and compared. Results. 30 patients participated in the study, of which 26 (86.7%) were women, 4 (13.3%) were men. Electroneuromyography was found to be both sensitive and specific for a measure of sensory propagation velocity, 76.2 and 75%, respectively (p = 0.042); of motor propagation speed – 100 and 75% (p = 0.040). Ultrasonography is sensitive (87.5%) but nonspecific (66.7%) (p = 0.008). The study showed that the ultrasound dimension strongly, directly and reliably correlates with the sensory impulse response rate (p < 0.001), and the ultrasound dimension moderately, directly and reliably correlates with the motor impulse response rate (p < 0.001). Conclusions. Carpal tunnel syndrome can be suspected by ultrasound measurement of the area of the median nerve, but the test is only sensitive but non-specific. Electroneuromyography can confirm the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome, as the test is both sensitive and specific. Comparing the studies, a strong, direct and reliable relationship between the results of the ultrasound and the electroneuromyography testing was established.

Authors: Jarynowski Andrzej , Semenov Alexander , Belik Vitaly 
Published: November 2023

Aim. The Internet and e-health solutions have become an integral part of daily life due to the pandemic. We are exploring the most impactful and positive innovations such as risk calculators or dashboards with forecasts and current situations aimed at providing information to the public.
Concept. We analysed four innovative, Wrocław-based risk calculators which allow users to better understand transmission dynamics, pathogenesis process or infection control.
Result. Practical application: We show that: 1) Polish COVID-19 symptom checker for self-diagnosis is among the leading products providing similar services around the world; 2) predicting disease course at its beginning is one of the main challenges of future medicine due to the availability of various kinds of data; 3) analysis of spatio-temporal transmission patterns based on digital surveillance for a given community can help with managing infection control locally; and 4) Sputnik V risk calculator enables patients to estimate probabilities of having given adverse events (probably the first app of this kind) following a given individual's variables (age, gender and dose).
Conclusion. There are already thousands of disseminated e-health solutions related to the coronavirus pandemic which will shape medicine for the next decade. Risk calculators can impact both individual decisions as well as community public health service.
Memes as culture repositories - social emotions during “Stay at home” phase in Poland from public health perspective
Authors: Wójta-Kempa Monika , Wolska-Zogata Irena , Jarynowski Andrzej 
Published: November 2023

Aim. The main goal of the article is to obtain a socio-medical picture of COVID-19 pandemic from Polish Internet memes. Memes are part of a collective memory and could help one understand the ongoing social processes during the pandemic.
Methodology. We perform qualitative analysis of the selected memes shared on the Polish Internet. Among over 2000 gathered memes, 25 examples of memes were dedicated to #stayathome phase (18 March 2020 until 7 April 2020).
Results. We have distinguished three main topics, areas and functions: uncertainty and anxiety in everyday life; managing isolation and making sense of the safety measures; building support community and solidarity with medical staff. We found a relatively high number of supportive, pro-health memes during the stay-at-home phase in comparison to prepandemic era as well as other phases of the pandemic.
Conclusions. Memes go beyond the humorous function, as they also carry new information and give context to new situations or events. Thus, memospheres should be monitored and used in public health awareness campaigns helping people who are coping with uncertainty, facilitating the internalization process of acceptance as well as promoting help-giving attitudes. Memes could be utilised as health communication techniques to influence Internet users.
E-therapy during a pandemic in Poland and worldwide - a temporary trend or a new reality?
Authors: Kazimierska-Zając Magdalena , Ślósarz Luba 
Published: November 2023

Aim: The purpose of this article was to present the benefits and difficulties of online psychotherapy and to highlight the ethical context of this form of therapy.
Concept. Conducting psychotherapy online is not a new phenomenon. However, the spread of this form of therapy has changed in recent years and for that reason, the literature on e-therapy focused on the period just before and during the Covid 19 pandemic was analysed.
Results and conclusion. Despite the initial costs associated with implementing e-tools and training psychotherapists, e-therapy is a financially beneficial mode of operation for institutions. On the other hand, a barrier may be the quality of equipment and Internet connections available in offices and insufficient staff training.
For patients, the benefits of e-therapy are primarily related to easier access to services. Both increased time flexibility and reduced mobility barriers are essential, especially when combined with financial savings. However, attention should be paid to patients with limited network competence or difficulty accessing equipment or the Internet. The spread of e-therapy may result in the exclusion of this still large population.
The online therapeutic process involves greater risk and patient concerns about recording, storing, and securing confidential information. The key in this situation seems to be the psychotherapist's awareness, caution, and transparently informing patients about how to work and secure data.
"Infodemic's Impact on Patient Behaviour and Stroke Treatment During the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Analysis of Internet Searches and Clinical Data
Authors: Nowakowska-Kotas Marta , Obara Krystian , Stojanowski Jakub , Budrewicz Sławomir 
Published: November 2023

Background and Purpose. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought attention to the quality of information the public receives and searches. The rapid and far-reaching spread of both accurate and inaccurate information about COVID-19 has been defined as an "infodemic" by the World Health Organization (WHO). Inaccurate information can lead to delays in seeking medical help, which is particularly concerning for stroke patients who require early intervention.
Aim. The study aimed to analyse the correlation between the incidence of reperfusion therapies at a tertiary stroke centre and active searches by internet users for negative information about the condition of the healthcare system and stroke treatment possibilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic
Methods consisted of clinical data of patients who underwent reperfusion therapies in tertiary stroke centre compared to data collected from the Internet using Google TrendsTM.
Results. The significant decrease in reperfusion therapies conducted during first month of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic has been resolved. It was accompanied by a significant increase in interest in topics related to the poor epidemiological situation in the country. However, significant direct correlations between the active search for information on the Internet and the clinical characteristic of patients were not observed.
Conclusions: The number of stroke patients receiving the best quality treatment
significantly decreases, at the same time period when the epidemiological situation creates an active search for negative information on the Internet. This coincidence, arguably, has no direct cause - effect relationship, although it may be presumed accurate and timely information dissemination during a pandemic, particularly for stroke patients who require urgent medical attention, could reduce health-related harm.
Shaping the image of people with trisomy chromosome 21 in virtual space
Authors: Ślósarz Luba 
Published: November 2023

Thesis. We are increasingly shaping our image through computer-mediated communication (CMC). In managing the image of people with trisomy chromosome 21, it is essential to use the potential of CMC to acquire networking skills for people with trisomy 21 and to make optimal use of various self-presentation techniques through active participation in the virtual community.
The article answers how the presence in the virtual community of people with trisomy chromosome 21 is marked. A lot of good practices are observed. However, mistakes are also sometimes worth knowing about and to be avoided.
Methods. The research material consisted of posts about people with trisomy 21 primarily on social networks and on forums and websites to which the authors of the profiles referred. The content analysis method was used for the study.
Results. Problems concerning the image creation of people with trisomy can be located in three areas:
-perspective (the image of the subjects is created from the perspective of third parties, such as parents);
-goal (which is mainly to seek support for children with trisomy);
-a type of self-presentation content (content is reduced to portraying people with trisomy as lovely, likable people; focus on disability-related aspects, not content in everyday life, interests).
The article also presents good image management practices and suggests directions for work on the self-presentation of people with chromosome 21 trisomy in social media.

Defects at nanoscale semiconductor interfaces: Challenges and opportunities
Authors: Brillson Leonard J. 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe past 75 years has been an exciting and dynamic time for solid-state electronic materials with advanced micro- and optoelectronic properties but point defects at semiconductor–metal interfaces that limit their operation have been a challenge to understand and control. These defects depend strongly on chemical structure at the intimate interface, and techniques have now developed to learn how their presence at nanoscale dimensions impact electronic structure at the macroscale. A combination of optical, electronic, and microscopic techniques can now enable new directions for defect research of metal–semiconductor interfaces at the nano/atomic scale. These nanoscale and atomic scale techniques can meet the experimental challenges inherent at this scale and create opportunities for new defect research of electronic material interfaces at a deeper level.

Ochrona danych osobowych w sprawach o stwierdzenie nieważności małżeństwa w świetle wybranych zasad procesu (cz. 1)
Authors: Andrzejewski Maciej 
Published: November 2023

W artykule podjęto problematykę zakresu ochrony danych osobowych uczestników procesu o stwierdzenie nieważności małżeństwa w odniesieniu do promulgowanego przez Konferencję Episkopatu Polski dekretu ogólnego w sprawie ochrony osób fizycznych w związku z przetwarzaniem danych osobowych w Kościele katolickim w kontekście wybranych zasad procesowych. W części pierwszej zweryfikowano hipotezę badawczą, zgodnie z którą metoda regulacji przyjęta przez dekret i polegająca na fragmentarycznej transpozycji norm prawa egzogenicznego (RODO) do prawa endogenicznego Kościoła w zakresie ochrony danych uczestników procesu o stwierdzenie nieważności małżeństwa, nie jest koherentna ze specyfiką wymierzania sprawiedliwości w Kościele, które jest zakorzenione w naturze Ludu Bożego, stanowiącego Mistyczne Ciało Chrystusa i żyjącego w Duchu Świętym. De lege ferenda zaproponowano konieczne zmiany w dekrecie ogólnym, co w konsekwencji pozwoli rozwiązać trudności wykładnicze związane z jego stosowaniem w analizowanym zakresie.
Jawni grzesznicy. Czy zasadne jest ich publiczne piętnowanie?
Authors: Bar Wiesław 
Published: November 2023

Autor, po nakreśleniu tematu i wyjaśnieniu terminów „jawny grzesznik” i „piętnować” w kontekście historycznym, podaje syntezę dyscypliny kościelnej wobec jawnych grzeszników. Rozpoczyna od zagadnienia niepraktykujących chrześcijan, stosunkowo rzadko pojawiającego się w nauczaniu o jawnogrzesznikach. Centralne miejsce w analizach zajmują kwestie odmowy dopuszczenia do Komunii św. (kan. 915 KPK) i udzielenia katolickiego pogrzebu (kan. 1184 § 1 nr 3 KPK) oraz inne ograniczenia i sankcje, jakie mogą dotknąć jawnych grzeszników (np. kandydatów na rodziców chrzestnych – kan. 874 nr 3 KPK; chorych, którzy uparcie trwają w jawnym grzechu ciężkim – kan. 1007 KPK). Uwzględniając aktualne przypadki, zwłaszcza związane ze stosowaniem do nich norm z kan. 915 i 1184 KPK, przypomina się, że przy ich aplikacji należy uwzględniać katolickie zasady osądu moralności ludzkich czynów. Zaleca się korzystać z mądrości Benedykta XIV, który radził, by do każdej osoby podchodzić indywidualnie, zachowywać spokój, pouczyć jawnogrzesznika, że przyjęcie Ciała Chrystusa nie uchroni jej przed sądem Chrystusa, lecz obciąży. Jeśli jawnogrzesznik nadal trwa w uporze, należy jego grzech piętnować, czego najbardziej dotkliwe są odmowa Komunii św. i pogrzebu kościelnego.
