Gastrointestinal Dysfunction in Neurological and Neurodegenerative Disorders
Authors: Raber Jacob , Sharpton Thomas J. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractIncreasing research links the gut microbiome to neurodegenerative disorders. The gut microbiome communicates with the central nervous system via the gut–brain axis and affects behavioral and cognitive phenotypes. Dysbiosis (a dysfunctional microbiome) drives increased intestinal permeability and inflammation that can negatively affect the brain via the gut–brain axis. Healthier metabolic and lipid profiles and cognitive phenotypes are observed in individuals with more distinct microbiomes. In this review, we discuss the role of the gut microbiome and gut–brain axis in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease and related animal models, in cancer and cancer treatments, and in metabolic syndrome. We also discuss strategies to improve the gut microbiome and ultimately brain function. Because healthier cognitive phenotypes are observed in individuals with more distinct microbiomes, increased efforts are warranted to develop therapeutic strategies for those at increased risk of developing neurological disorders and patients diagnosed with those disorders.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Objective Children with epilepsy have a significantly increased risk of cognitive impairment. EpiTrack Junior is a screening tool developed for fast assessment of cognitive function in children with epilepsy. The tool is validated for German children. This cohort study aims to investigate the differences in cognitive function between healthy Danish children and Danish children diagnosed with epilepsy
Methods The cognitive function of 204 healthy controls and 90 children and adolescents diagnosed with epilepsy was examined using EpiTrack Junior. The participants of the control group were aged 6 to 16 years. The patients were aged 6 to 20 years. Statistical analyses were performed with the use of SPSS Statistics.
Results The control group showed significantly higher scores than the patient group in three of six subtests and total test scores (p-values ranging from 0.033 to <0.001). When grouped according to the EpiTrack Junior guidelines, more patients showed scores “below average” or “poor” compared to the control group. The age-corrected total score was not associated with antiepileptic drug treatment (p-value of 0.732) nor with a history of focal seizures (p-value of 0.215). A history of generalized tonic–clonic seizures (GTCS) was associated with a higher EpiTrack Junior score (p-value of 0.035).
Conclusion The patient group showed statistically significant lower test scores compared to the control group confirming the relationship between impaired cognitive function and childhood epilepsy. Furthermore, a correlation between a higher EpiTrack Junior score and the presence of GTCS was found. Focal seizures and antiepileptic drug treatment were not associated with the EpiTrack Junior score.
Mapping positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy data of a polymer to classical molecular dynamics simulations without shifting the glass transition temperature
Authors: Takahashi Kazuaki Z. 
Published: August 2023

Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) enables the nondestructive measurement of nanoscale cavities in materials. In this study, a strategy was proposed for mapping PALS measurement data of isotactic polypropylene to classical molecular dynamics (CMD) simulations. The discrepancy between simulated and experimental glass transition temperatures was resolved by shortening the polymer chains, rather than adjusting for the temperature, using the Williams–Landel–Ferry (WLF) equation. The effective probe radii of ortho-positronium (o-Ps), determined by comparing PALS data with CMD simulations, were ∼0.8 nm, which was consistent with the o-Ps size given by the solution of the Schrödinger equation. The free-volume fraction corresponding to the effective probe radius was 12.3% at the glass transition temperature, close to the value estimated using Simha–Boyer theory. The cavity number density was proportional to the effective probe radius and decreased with temperature. The o-Ps effective probe radius was proportional to both the critical probe radius and the −1/3 power of the monomer number density, and increased with increasing temperature. These findings suggest that combining PALS measurements with CMD simulations may provide insight into cavities in polymeric materials without relying on the WLF equation.
The preparation of rod-like porous α-Fe2O3 with large interplanar spacing for symmetric supercapacitors
Authors: Yang Fan-Ming , Li Xi-Da 
Published: August 2023

Rod-like porous α-Fe2O3 was synthesized by static hydrothermal treatment at 160°C and used as a symmetric supercapacitor. The phase information, structure, morphology, valence state and composition of the prepared sample were characterized using X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and N2 adsorption–desorption. The results show that the prepared α-Fe2O3 is a rod-like porous material dominated by mesopores. Moreover, the α-Fe2O3 is a hexagonal single crystal with [FeO6] octahedrons and the interplanar crystal spacings are large enough for electrolyte ion diffusion. In both KOH and Na2SO4 electrolytes, the α-Fe2O3 sample displays good pseudocapacitance performance. However, the specific discharge capacity and energy density in KOH are larger than in Na2SO4. In 1 mol L–1 of KOH, remarkable capacities of 139 and 35.5 F g–1 are obtained and an energy density of 3.91 and 1.01 Wh kg–1 is achieved at 1 and 20 A g–1 respectively. After 10 000 cycles, 87.7% of the specific capacitance is still retained at 1 A g–1. The good capacitance properties may attributed to the rod-like porous structure and large interplanar spacing, which provide good ion insertion–exit paths, enough oxidation–reduction active sites and a fast ion transfer velocity.
Unravelling cross-language effects in bimodal
bilingualism
Authors: Gimeno-Martínez Marc , Baus Cristina 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Suppose we are good tennis players and want to
learn to play ping-pong. Does the way we play tennis affect how we
play ping-pong? Would we play ping-pong in the same way if we were
not tennis experts? This was one of Albert’s recurring metaphors
when drawing a line of thought toward language interactions in
bilingual language processing. The argument behind the anecdote
referred to what extent the sustained interaction between
bilinguals’ two languages results in structural changes within the
language network. This chapter aims to push the tennis metaphor one
step further by asking whether playing tennis affects how we play
football, a sport involving quite different skills. Bringing the
sports metaphor into language, this chapter reviews interactions
occurring between bilinguals’ two languages involving different
articulatory and perceptual mechanisms, such as sign and oral
languages. This chapter is then devoted to bimodal bilingualism,
reviewing the most relevant results on cross-linguistic interactions
across modalities.
On bilingualism and alignment
Authors: Williams Rachel , Ferreira Victor S. , Ivanova Iva 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter is dedicated to the contribution of
the theoretical review of Costa,
Pickering, and Sorace (2008) to our understanding of
alignment in second-language dialogue, or, more broadly,
conversations involving at least one less proficient speaker. We
first briefly describe the review’s foundation, the Interactive
Alignment Account, and some of its theoretical considerations. We
then highlight the main hypotheses put forward by Costa et al. (2008),
following each with subsequently obtained relevant evidence. As
proposed by these authors, the emerging picture is indeed one in
which second-language dialogue is characterized by enhanced
non-automatic alignment and, in some cases, reduced automatic
alignment, with important roles of audience design, second-language
proficiency, and modeling behavior. While recent advances have been
made in this area, some of Costa
et al.’s (2008) hypotheses have not been tested, and some
have produced conflicting evidence; we thus end with a list of
research questions aimed to inspire future work on this topic.
Fear conditioning and bilingualism
Authors: Ortigosa Isabel , Garcia-Palacios Azucena , Duñabeitia Jon Andoni 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
There is evidence that the emotional reactivity
in a foreign language is reduced as compared to native languages.
This differential emotional reactivity has effects in various
cognitive domains, as revealed by the so-called foreign language
effect on decision-making. This opens doors to the potential use of
foreign languages in scenarios where a modulation of the role of
emotional involvement would be desirable, like conflict resolution,
healthy choices, or psychotherapy. The current chapter focuses on
whether fear acquisition and extinction can be modulated by the
language context in which people are set. With the lead of Prof
Albert Costa, we explored whether this emotional distance could
modulate fear conditioning and fear extinction, essential mechanisms
for the understanding and treatment of different mental disorders.
Our findings provided evidence that certain verbal conditioning
processes may be affected by language context, opening the avenue to
the potential use of a foreign language in clinical contexts.
Hungary
Authors: Borza Natalia 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter investigates the motivations of a populist
party’s supporters in Hungary by examining what values and identities played
a role in shaping the voting preference of Fidesz supporters in the 2019
European elections. A sample of the first 500 most reacted comments in
response to the Facebook postings of the party on their social media
platform (Facebook) were analysed using van Leeuwen’s (2008) framework of legitimation strategies. The
findings of the study exposed that the discursive legitimation of the Fidesz
supporters embraces all the four dimensions in van Leeuwen’s framework. The
supporters promote values both at the individual level and at the level of
the generic community of the supporters. The supporters’ recontextualisation
of the party’s social media postings displayed enthusiasm, hope, the feeling
of love and adoration. These positive emotions appeared to stem from the
sentiment that the supporters feel at home in their country, and
nurture a grateful relationship with their own generic community.
Introduction
Authors: Bartesaghi Mariaelena , Hughes Jessica M.F. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter attunes to dialogue, as we orient to it in
our work and spontaneous doings with others. It is a meta dialogue, for in
it we find our own utterances and incarnation, emerging and unfolding in the
heteroglossia of disability. Our purpose is deconstructive as much as
reconstructive, as we want to hear voices of those who speak about dialogue,
disability, and the discourses of intelligibility that create our awareness,
including that of ourselves. We speak in turns, from proposing a definition
of dialogue, to examining the boundaries of disability, disability as social
dialogue, and finally, the dialogues between us, as co-editors and academics
wary of institutional disablement, that have enabled this book and spoken
our words and bodies into being.
Disability and employability
Authors: Grue Jan , Alnes Silje 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
When disabled people seek accommodation and inclusion,
including within the framework of modern human rights discourse, a complex
interaction ensues. While negotiations over accommodation may be explicit
and formalized, they may also take the form of a more subtle, even implicit,
dialogue that indexes psychological and moral attributes. Being an
“includable” disabled person means living up to a set of often tacit role
expectations, which are present in discourse and shape recruitment
processes. Normative representations of “includable” disabled people – i.e.,
people who are represented as being, potentially, valued members of
society – carry considerable force. This paper takes as its topic one corpus
of such representations, drawn from a social media campaign launched by the
Norwegian Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. We ask the question of what
norms and values the campaign presupposes and conveys, concluding with the
analytical modes of rhetoric and critical discourse analysis. Focusing on
the interaction between narrative content and reader expectations, we
suggest that the campaign’s normative stance is that of neoliberal
inclusionism, an ethos in which disabled people are valued and
provided with accommodations chiefly to the extent to which they are able to
act as productive employees – ideally on a par with non-disabled people.
Fashion on wheels
Authors: Berger Natalia , Hermes Joke 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
What can fashion and fashion journalism tell us about the
actual and possible representations of disability? Unfolding from a dialogue
between the co-authors, this chapter takes a Dutch case study as its
starting point to map and interpret how creative professionals responsible
for communication in an advocacy organization, as well as journalists and
television makers, had great trouble freeing disability from limiting frames
of reference. The aim of the chapter is to provide insight and tools for
inclusive and reflexive practices of representation. Discourse analysis
provides the basis for a multi-layered dialogue. Ingrained, standardized
routines in media practice are the problem that the best of intentions
cannot break. The Dutch Zonnebloem (Sunflower) organization pointed to a way
forward when they invited feedback and engaged in dialogue on their failed
media campaign to find funding to design fashionable clothing for wheelchair
users.
“My existence is resistance!”
Authors: Egner Justine 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Scholars of social movements have been critical of social
media activism. Taking a dialogic stance, where I examine narratives as
tensional interactional dynamics within Big-C conversations, or discourses,
I argue that traditional resistance tactics (such as in-person
demonstrations and protests, like marching, rallies, pickets, sit-ins,
riots, boycotts, some actions of civil disobedience) are not often available
for those who experience intersectional invisibility as speakers who perform
the identity strategies of activist spaces. As such, those who are
disenfranchised and wish to engage in activism must reconceptualize
traditional notions of resistance to better participate. This paper examines
a group of queer disabled activists who reject traditional notions of
activism as ableist, heterosexist, and racist. I analyze how they utilize
the social media platform Tumblr as a site of engagement through disability
centered dialogue as a form of accessible resistance.
Exploring the potential of implicatures for assessing interpreting quality in the Swiss asylum procedure
Authors: Bugayong Lenny Kaye 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Devoting more attention to a cognitive approach in Translation and Interpreting Studies (TIS) may not only be useful for exploring translation and interpreting processes per se but also when facing real-life challenges such as hiring qualified interpreters. This chapter first introduces how communicative principles found in pragmatics can help define a common theoretical framework in TIS and how this would benefit the quality of Public Service Interpreting (PSI) more globally. It goes on to map PSI in the Swiss context and present preliminary findings from an exploratory study analyzing the assessment of aspiring interpreters for the Swiss asylum system. First results show how communicative principles as found e.g. in Relevance Theory appear to inform evaluators when judging interpreting quality.
Adding connectives to manage interpreted discourse
Authors: Götz Andrea 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
In recent years, corpus-based research has revealed that interpreted discourse contains a high frequency and variety of pragmatic items. However, it is less well known how the use of these items varies with the type of interpreting (i.e. relay, L2, or retour). This study examines this question through the frequency of connectives in Hungarian to English European Parliamentary interpreting. According to the results, connectives are significantly more frequent in interpreted than non-interpreted or comparable discourse, and also in relay interpreting. However, frequency and the kind of connectives used vary with the type of interpreting.
Politeness in notices translated from Greek into English in Thessaloniki’s public spaces from a cross-cultural perspective and translator/student translator evaluations
Authors: Lees Christopher 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines notices that have been translated from Greek into English and are visible in the public spaces of Thessaloniki. It uses photographic data collected during ethnographic fieldwork in the city in 2020, a time that coincided with the Covid-19 pandemic and an increased number of signs. By drawing on Brown and Levinson’s concept of face and more recent discursive approaches to politeness, the chapter explores the ways in which Greek politeness is expressed and rendered into English and how a group of translation students and translation professionals perceive the degree to which the Greek source texts have been successfully rendered into English.
“There is no doubt, you must be right!”
Authors: Napoli Vittorio 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This contribution shows how epistemic modality expressed by characters in English films is conveyed into Italian dubbed and subtitled dialogues. The aim of the research is twofold: (a) revealing whether Italian norms governing epistemic modality differ from English norms and, secondly, (b) revealing whether epistemic modal markers in the source dialogues undergo modifications in translation for dubbing and for subtitling, two constrained audiovisual translation modes. Utterances containing epistemic modal markers were collected from six films to form three corpora: one for English original films, one for their dubbed counterparts and one for their subtitled counterparts. The study revealed that differences exist both in the expression of epistemic modality in the two language systems and between dubbed and subtitled dialogues.
Contrastive analysis of English fan and professional subtitles of Korean TV drama
Authors: Messerli Thomas C. , Locher Miriam A. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
We compare fan subtitles and subtitles produced by professionals in order to detect what concepts each of them foreground, and how they differ in register and in translation strategy. Differences are systematically explored with the help of corpus-assisted discourse analysis to contrast two sets of English subtitles from 26 Korean dramas and 451 episodes – fan subtitles from Viki and professional subtitles from Netflix. Results reveal that professional translators show more target text orientation, whereas fan translators position themselves and their readers as expert members of their community, aiming for access to the source text. We find no clear difference in register, but professional subtitles are more concise, whereas Viki subtitles are longer and employ, e.g., hedges and disfluency markers.
“So my job is translating from professional cook to home cook”
Authors: Tovares Alla V. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter explores how three cookbook writers talk about crafting “the verbal ingredients of a well-written recipe” as well as of themselves as translators of cooking actions and expertise. The analysis shows how in their metalinguistic comments the writers articulate pragmatic rules, including the canonical Gricean Maxims of providing enough information without overwhelming the reader and being honest and clear in their instructions. It also shows how in the process of translating expertise, these wordsmiths address the familiar and the prescriptive and in so doing deconstruct ‘the amnesia of the genesis’ (Bourdieu 1977, 1990) and challenge the existing language practices of recipe writing. This study contributes to our understanding of translation as going beyond interlingual transfer of meaning by considering actions and multisensory experiences.
Statistically equivalent representative volume elements (SERVE) for material behaviour analysis and multiscale modelling
Authors: Ghosh Somnath , Dimiduk Dennis , Furrer David 
Published: August 2023

Mechanical properties of materials and associated engineered components are controlled by the material structure at various lengths and time scales. As materials are being further utilised to the maximum extent of their capabilities, tails on property distributions become significant. These tails are often driven by the extremities of microstructural feature distributions, suggesting the need for a statistically relevant description of the microstructure and a reciprocity relationship with the range of property measurement capabilities and the models that represent this information.Representative volume elements (RVE) and statistically equivalent representative volume elements (SERVE) have emerged as frameworks for such microstructural characterisation and quantification.This review covers the evolution of quantitative microstructure description for use in material behaviour predictions from homogenised representations, large volume statistical representation, to the determination of the minimum spatial size to statistically represent a microstructure based on features of interest and properties of interest.
Parametrizing gravitational-wave polarizations
Authors: Isi Maximiliano 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
We review the formalism underlying the modeling of gravitational wave (GW) polarizations, and the coordinate frames used to define them. In the process, we clarify the notion of ‘polarization angle’ and identify three conceptually distinct definitions. We describe how those are related and how they arise in the practice of GW data analysis, explaining in detail the relevant conventions that have become the LIGO-Virgo standard. Furthermore, we show that any GW signal can be expressed as a superposition of elliptical (i.e. fully-polarized) states, and examine the properties and possible parametrizations of such elementary states. We discuss a variety of common parametrizations for fully-polarized modes, and compute Jacobians for the coordinate transformations relating them. This allows us to examine the suitability of each parametrization for different applications, including unmodeled or semimodeled signal reconstructions. We point out that analyses parametrized directly in terms of the plus and cross mode amplitudes will tend to implicitly favor high signal power, and to prefer linearly-polarized waves along a predefined direction; this makes them suboptimal for targeting face-on or face-off sources, which will tend to be circularly polarized. We discuss alternative parametrizations, with applications extending to continuous waves, ringdown studies, and unmodeled analyses like BayesWave.
