Abstract
Background Inequities in health care access leads to suboptimal medication adherence and blood pressure (BP) control. Informatics-based approaches may deliver equitable care and enhance self-management. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) complement clinical measures to assess the impact of illness on patients' well-being in poststroke care.
Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of incorporating PROs into Telehealth After Stroke Care (TASC) and to explore the effect of this team-based remote BP monitoring program on psychological distress and quality of life in an underserved urban setting.
Methods Patients discharged home from a Comprehensive Stroke Center were randomized to TASC or usual care for 3 months. They were provided with a BP monitor and a tablet that wirelessly transmitted data to a cloud-based platform, which were integrated with the electronic health record. Participants who did not complete the tablet surveys were contacted via telephone or e-mail. We collected the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Managing Medications and Treatment (PROMIS-MMT), Patient Activation Measure (PAM), Neuro-QOL (Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders) Cognitive Function, Neuro-QOL Depression, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). T-tests and linear regression were used to evaluate the differences in PRO change between the arms.
Results Of the 50 participants, two-thirds were Hispanic or non-Hispanic Black individuals. Mechanisms of PRO submission for the arms included tablet (62 vs. 47%), phone (24 vs. 37%), tablet with phone coaching (10 vs. 16%), and e-mail (4 vs. 0%). PHQ-9 depressive scores were nominally lower in TASC at 3 months compared with usual care (2.7 ± 3.6 vs. 4.0 ± 4.1; p = 0.06). No significant differences were observed in PROMIS-MMT, PAM, or Neuro-QoL measures.
Conclusion Findings suggest the feasibility of collecting PROs through an interactive web-based platform. The team-based remote BP monitoring demonstrated a favorable impact on patients' well-being. Patients equipped with appropriate resources can engage in poststroke self-care to mitigate inequities in health outcomes.

Published: November 2023

UV-vis spectroscopy is widely used for kinetic studies in physical chemistry, as species’ absolute cross-sections are usually less sensitive to experimental conditions (i.e., temperature and pressure). Here, we present the design and characterization of a multipass UV-vis absorption spectroscopy white cell coupled to a pulsed-laser photolysis flow reactor. The glass reactor was designed to facilitate studies of gas phase chemical reactions over a range of conditions (239–293 K and 10–550 Torr). Purged windows mitigate contamination from chemical precursors and photolysis products. We report the measured impact of this purging on temperature uniformity and the absorption length and present some supporting flow calculations. The combined optical setup is unique and enables the photolysis laser to be coaligned with a well-defined absorption pathlength probe beam. This alignment leverages the use of one long-pass filter to increase the spectrum flatness and increase the light intensity vs other systems that use two dichroic mirrors. The probe beam is analyzed with a dual exit spectrograph, customized to split the light between an intensified CCD and photomultiplier tube, enabling simultaneous spectrum and single wavelength detection. This multipass system yields a pathlength of ∼450 cm and minimum observable concentrations of ∼3.7 × 1011 molecule cm−3 (assuming cross-sections ∼1.2 × 10−17 cm2). The temperature profile across the reaction region is ±2 K, defined by the worst-case temperature of 239 K, validated by measurements of the N2O4 equilibrium constant. Finally, the system is implemented to study the simplest Criegee intermediate, demonstrating the instrument performance and advantages of simultaneous spectrum and temporal profile measurements.
The system of classifiers in Kilivila
Authors: Senft Gunter 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper presents the complex system of classifiers in Kilivila, the language of the Trobriand
Islanders of Papua New Guinea. After a brief introduction to the language and its speakers, the classifier system is
briefly described with respect to the role of these formatives for the word formation of Kilivila numerals,
adjectives, demonstratives and one form of an interrogative pronoun/adverb. Then the functions the classifier system
fulfils with respect to concord, temporary classification, the unitizing of nominal expressions, nominalization,
indication of plural, anaphoric reference as well as text and discourse coherence are discussed and illustrated. The
paper ends with some language specific and cross-linguistic questions for further research.
Nominal classification in Assamese
Authors: Saikia Pori , Allassonnière-Tang Marc 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We provide an analysis of the classifier system in Assamese (Indo-European) via the framework of
functional typology. Assamese is located at the border of Indo-European and Sino-Tibetan language families, which are
typically associated with grammatical gender and classifiers, respectively. Assamese represents an insightful example
of an Indo-European language relying on classifiers rather than grammatical gender to fulfill the functions typical
for a nominal classification system. Our analysis shows that classifiers in Assamese behave similarly to other
classifier languages in terms of lexical and discourse functions, except for the functions of definiteness marking and
individuation. The implications of such findings are connected to typology, research in human cognition, and language
contact.
Gender marking in Shumcho
Authors: Huber Christian 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Grammatical gender generally does not play a prominent role in Tibeto-Burman languages. Apart from
lexical differentiation, the natural gender of a nominal with an animate referent can be specified by sex-indicating
formatives but pronouns, adjectives or determiners are typically neutral in this respect and no agreement takes place.
The West Himalayish languages, a subgroup of the Tibeto-Burman family, have borrowed a large number of lexical items
from neighbouring Indo-Aryan languages, which have elaborate gender systems. Some of them have adopted a number of
gendered terms in their masculine as well as feminine form. One such language is Shumcho, which is spoken in the
district Kinnaur of the State of Himachal Pradesh in North India. The present chapter discusses all hitherto attested
marking patterns in Shumcho and, where possible, presents potential cognates or sources of a loan.
Dealing with legal terminology in court interpreting
Authors: Jutorán Mariana Orozco 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The target of court interpreting is to ensure equal access to justice to all persons who are not
proficient in the language spoken in a court of law. In that context, dealing effectively with legal terminology is
crucial to interpret accurately and to keep the legal intent of the message. This chapter first explores the main
difficulties of court interpreting, focusing on legal terminology. Then, some of the different existing models and
criteria for accuracy in court interpreting are introduced. Finally, a training approach to help court interpreting
students to create their own glossaries is presented, going from monolingual to bilingual research.
On the interaction between legal and religious concepts
Authors: Id-youss Lahousseine , Alsulaiman Abied 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Legal concepts differ in each individual society reflecting the differences in that society (Cao 2007, 2010). They form part of
nationally contained legal systems with their own terminological apparatus and underlying conceptual structure, their
own rules of classification (Šarčević 1997). These differences have both
semasiological and onomasiological perspectives. Some areas of the Moroccan law offer a good illustration for these
idiosyncratic features as they are marked by peculiar characteristics, reflecting the prevalent political, social and
religious realities. In this chapter, we will shed light on the interaction between law and religion, showing how this
interaction manifests itself in the Moroccan Family Code (Moudawana). The study will be carried out from
semasiological and onomasiological angles.
Terminology management and terminology quality assurance in the European Commission’s Directorate-General for
Translation
Authors: Stefaniak Karolina 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Correct and consistent terminology is crucial for high quality legal translation. Therefore, the
European Commission’s Directorate-General for Translation (DGT) places great emphasis on terminology work and on
integrating terminology in the translation process. At the central level, the Terminology Coordination Unit is tasked
with extracting terms from texts intended for translation and clarifying the concepts, whereas at the level of
departments, department terminologists search for adequate terms in their respective languages. The translators’ role
is to apply this terminology and ensure its consistency. DGT has at its disposal a number of resources to assist
translators and terminologists in these tasks, and has also developed several in-house tools for terminology
extraction and for checking terminological consistency in ongoing translations.
Visualizing EU law through meta-concepts and legal formants
Authors: Ioriatti Elena 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The chapter suggests an interdisciplinary approach to EU law and to European autonomous concepts,
through the use of comparative law and semiotics. The object of the research is the EU legislation (a meta-language,
in comparative-semiotics perspective), EU concepts (a system of signs, according to semiotics) and their
interpretation (case law formant, in comparative law analyses) and transposition (national legislation formant) in the
Member States. This approach to EU law and concepts highlights that the interrelation between EU legislation and the
normative forces grounding the practices of law in Europe are giving rise to common contexts of meanings in the
European legal setting.
Differential object marking in Brazilian Portuguese
Authors: Cyrino Sonia M. L. , Irimia Monica Alexandrina 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper addresses two important aspects related to the
problem of differential object marking in Brazilian Portuguese. On the one
hand, it demonstrates that this phenomenon is not completely absent from the
language, contrary to traditional assumptions. Among the contexts in which
differential object marking is still obligatory or possible are types of
equatives, animates under coordination, or animate relative pronouns. On the
other hand, it shows that these contexts can be unified as involving
configurations resulting from sentential ellipsis. More specifically, the
relevant structures contain two constituents with clausal nature, out of
which the second is subject to a process of deletion. Differential object
marking on the nominal signals the presence of a raising operation to the
high left periphery in the second clause, which allows the argument to
escape the deletion operation at the TP level. Differential object marking
based on raising to the high left periphery unites Brazilian Portuguese to
(Romance) languages where differential object marking is dependent on
topicalization to the left periphery.
Linguistic and pragmatic ways of committing oneself
Authors: Vergaro Carla 
Published: November 2023

AbstractIn this study I focus on the complementation patterns of commissive shell nouns in Ghanaian English (GhE). Commissive shell nouns are a type of illocutionary shell noun, i.e. a noun that encapsulates a content that is usually expressed in a complement or even separate clause or sentence thereby ascribing it an illocutionary force. I use the usage-based approach to the study of language and investigate the behavioral profile of these nouns in GhE. I apply descriptive statistics to data that have been collected from theCorpus of Global Web-based English(GloWbE). The study provides evidence for the characterization of GhE usage norms, and thus contributes to the scholarly knowledge on this variety of English. It also sheds light on the contribution that the meaning-related and ultimately cognitive perspective can offer in describing the complementation patterns of illocutionary nouns in Postcolonial Englishes (PCEs).

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Question–answer sequences are arguably among the most basic building blocks for sequences of action in
interaction and are ubiquitous among the languages of the world. This chapter reviews and synthesizes current interactional
research on polar questions and answers across languages in order to contextualize the work assembled in this volume. We
introduce grammatical and pragmatic resources for forming and recognizing polar questions, discuss principles of polar
question design, and overview different types of polar responses. We conclude the chapter with a preview of the included
studies, a discussion of their contributions, and suggestions for future research directions.
Introducing inclusive subtitles
Authors: Uzzo Gabriele 
Published: November 2023

AbstractIn recent years, numerous variations of subtitling approaches, which have been variously defined as enriched, creative, dynamic, emotive (Neves 2018), but also ‘creactive’ (Sala Robert 2016), have been put forward by scholars in the attempt to diversify and expand the audiences’ access to audiovisual products through subtitles. Also, there has been a significant growth in international film festivals which, alongside long-established festivals, have contributed to providing audiences with a cultural window on the world. In Italy, for example, there are hundreds of film festivals, which vary in terms of size, subject-matter, and genre.Against the backdrop of recent research on audience(s) attending film festivals (Di Giovanni 2020), accessibility studies (Greco 2018), and preferences and familiarity with various types of subtitles for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing people (Romero-Fresco 2015), this paper aims to introduce the notion of inclusive subtitling and to propose guidelines and applications within the context of accessible film festivals and cultural events. The corpus for this empirical study consists of the short films competing in the eleventh and twelfth editions of theSicilia Queer Film Fest, inclusively subtitled. Results will prove that ‘inclusive subtitles’ have the potential to cater to more varied needs, embracing settings such as film festivals, theatres, museums, galleries, and similar cultural contexts. In line withGreco’s (2018)universalist approach, and in contrast with the recent introduction of the term byMartínez-Lorenzo (2020)applied to minoritised languages, inclusive subtitles is an expression that refers to intralingual or interlingual subtitles, open or closed (with the aid of external tools, such as an app) and applied specifically to film festivals.

Optical fiber Fabry–Perot sensor based on BPQDs-PVA compound for humidity measurement
Authors: Shao Min , Wang Yanmei , Liu Bingkun , Zhang Wensong , Lu Qingqing 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A high-sensitivity fiber humidity sensor based on Fabry–Perot interferometer is experimentally proposed. The sensor is fabricated by coating black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs)-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film on the end face of single mode fiber via controllable dipping method. Benefit from the BPQDs-PVA based cavity, the length and the refractive index of the BPQDs-PVA compound changes with ambient humidity, evidently modulating the interference spectrum. Experimental results show that the sensor achieves a maximum humidity sensitivity of 4.844 nm/%RH in the humidity range of 33%–56%RH with a low temperature cross sensitivity of 0.017%RH °C−1. Meanwhile, stability test exhibits a low instability of 0.016%RH. Together with the advantages of simple manufacture, small size and fast response, the sensor has broad practical application prospect.
Dual contrast attention-guided multi-frequency fusion for multi-contrast MRI super-resolution
Authors: Kong Weipeng , Li Baosheng , Wei Kexin , Li Dengwang , Zhu Jian , Yu Gang 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

Objective. Multi-contrast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging super-resolution (SR) reconstruction is an effective solution for acquiring high-resolution MR images. It utilizes anatomical information from auxiliary contrast images to improve the quality of the target contrast images. However, existing studies have simply explored the relationships between auxiliary contrast and target contrast images but did not fully consider different anatomical information contained in multi-contrast images, resulting in texture details and artifacts unrelated to the target contrast images. Approach. To address these issues, we propose a dual contrast attention-guided multi-frequency fusion (DCAMF) network to reconstruct SR MR images from low-resolution MR images, which adaptively captures relevant anatomical information and processes the texture details and low-frequency information from multi-contrast images in parallel. Specifically, after the feature extraction, a feature selection module based on a dual contrast attention mechanism is proposed to focus on the texture details of the auxiliary contrast images and the low-frequency features of the target contrast images. Then, based on the characteristics of the selected features, a high- and low-frequency fusion decoder is constructed to fuse these features. In addition, a texture-enhancing module is embedded in the high-frequency fusion decoder, to highlight and refine the texture details of the auxiliary contrast and target contrast images. Finally, the high- and low-frequency fusion process is constrained by integrating a deeply-supervised mechanism into the DCAMF network. Main results. The experimental results show that the DCAMF outperforms other state-of-the-art methods. The peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity of DCAMF are 39.02 dB and 0.9771 on the IXI dataset and 37.59 dB and 0.9770 on the BraTS2018 dataset, respectively. The image recovery is further validated in segmentation tasks. Significance. Our proposed SR model can enhance the quality of MR images. The results of the SR study provide a reliable basis for clinical diagnosis and subsequent image-guided treatment.
Improved T-wave detection in electrocardiogram signals based non-stationary wavelet transform and QRS complex cancellation with kurtosis analysis
Authors: Sharma Neenu , Sunkaria Ramesh Kumar 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

Objective. The T-wave in electrocardiogram (ECG) signal has the potential to enumerate various cardiac dysfunctions in the cardiovascular system. The primary objective of this research is to develop an efficient method for detecting T-waves in ECG signals, with potential applications in clinical diagnosis and continuous patient monitoring. Approach. In this work, we propose a novel algorithm for T-wave peak detection, which relies on a non-decimated stationary wavelet transform method (NSWT) and involves the cancellation of the QRS complex by utilizing its local extrema. The proposed scheme contains three stages: firstly, the technique is pre-processed using a two-stage median filter and Savitzky–Golay (SG) filter to remove the various artifacts from the ECG signal. Secondly, the NSWT technique is implemented using the bior 4.4 mother wavelet without downsampling, employing 24 scale analysis, and involves the cancellation of QRS-complex using its local positions. After that, Sauvola technique is used to estimate the baseline and remove the P-wave peaks to enhance T-peaks for accurate detection in the ECG signal. Additionally, the moving average window and adaptive thresholding are employed to enhance and identify the location of the T-wave peaks. Thirdly, false positive T-peaks are corrected using the kurtosis coefficients method. Main results. The robustness and efficiency of the proposed technique have been corroborated by the QT database (QTDB). The results are also validated on a self-recorded database. In QTDB database, the sensitivity of 98.20%, positive predictivity of 99.82%, accuracy of 98.04%, and detection error rate of 1.95% have been achieved. The self-recorded dataset attains a sensitivity, positive predictivity, accuracy, and detection error rate of 99.94%, 99.96%, 99.90%, and 0.09% respectively. Significance. A T-wave peak detection based on NSWT and QRS complex cancellation, along with kurtosis analysis technique, demonstrates superior performance and enhanced detection accuracy compared to state-of-the-art techniques.
A slotted metagratings leaky-wave antenna with theoretical analysis
Authors: Al Soad Odai Hassan Raheem , Fu Jiahui , Wu Qun 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this contribution, a new slotted metagratings based leaky-wave antenna (MGs LWA) featuring a wide beam-scanning is presented to overcome the limitation of the mutual coupling and the open-stopband effects in traditional LWA. The MGs LWA is comprised of a parallel-plate waveguide with a periodic MGs array etched on the top plate over a dielectric substrate with PEC-backed. An analytical theory is created as a conceptual model for the corresponding equivalent electromagnetic fields produced by slotted MGs, that generate the Z-matrix and S-matrix for a two-port structure from the electric and magnetic fields. Furthermore, an approximate analysis is derived using Green’s function to quantify mutual admittance coupling. This antenna has excellent success due to its ability to achieve a wide beam-scanning range with a high realized gain while still having a narrow beam width in the E-plane. With the utilizing results, the bandwidth range of 64% with continuous beam-scanned of 74° and narrow angular beamwidth up to 11.1° in the E-plane is obtained. Meanwhile, the beam-scanned sensitivity is 5.4°/GHz. The realized gain is up to 16.3 dBi. Finally, the MGs LWA is fabricated to approve the theoretical and simulation results. Thus, a low permittivity and thin substrate are selected to enable perfect beam-scanning for 5 G high-speed mobile communication systems.
