Sociopragmatic pronouns in Limburgian: inferring speakers’ agency from self-reported automaticity, attitudes, and metalinguistic awareness
Authors: Piepers Joske , Backus Ad , Swanenberg Jos 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
How much of everyday language use takes place on autopilot, how much are speakers aware of, and how do their attitudes relate to this? In particular, how do these factors together account for variation between speakers? Limburgian, a regional language within the Netherlands, is under pressure from Dutch in an intensive language contact situation. The use of a non-feminine subject pronoun for women is a Limburgian feature which is not shared with Dutch. Limburgian speakers show a large range of variation regarding this feature, both when it comes to its use, and how it is perceived. By studying speakers’ self-reports of three concepts – automaticity, attitudes, and metalinguistic awareness – as well as how these together relate to self-reported language use (N = 405), this paper investigates to what extent speakers have control over their own language use. Our findings suggest that self-reported automaticity is the driving force in the use of the non-feminine pronoun, but also that this autopilot may be curbed by metalinguistic awareness and attitudes. Importantly, speakers vary considerably on all three concepts, highlighting once more that language users are not a monolith, and that individual speakers may react differently in a language contact situation.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
A heterogeneous catalyst NaOH–NaAlO2/γ-Al2O3 was prepared by supporting NaOH and NaAlO2 on γ-Al2O3, and it was further employed for the oxidative degradation of lignin. The influence of the oxidant, the molar ratio of NaOH to NaAlO2, and calcination temperature of the supported catalyst on the catalytic activity were investigated. Air was found to be an effective oxidant for lignin conversion in the presence of heterogeneous catalyst. The total yield of monophenolic compounds (MPCs) from dealkaline lignin was 13.0 %, which was obtained by using NaOH–NaAlO2/γ-Al2O3 calcinated at 550 °C as the catalyst with 2:3 M ratio of NaOH to NaAlO2 at 170 °C for 2.5 h in air. Vanillin and syringaldehyde were found to be the main products, giving yields of 6.7 and 2.9 %, respectively. The conversion of lignin derived from wheat straw was also carried out under the identical conditions. Wheat straw lignin also displayed considerable conversion to MPCs in the presence of NaOH–NaAlO2/γ-Al2O3, and the total yield of MPCs at 12.3 % was obtained at 180 °C. NaOH–NaAlO2/γ-Al2O3 was recovered by filtration after the reaction and reused without further treatment, and 11.0 % total yield of MPCs was obtained after four cycles.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
This paper demonstrated the near field light intensity measurement and two-dimension intensity profile for the guided modes based step/linear/spline index core profile shape with different core segments. The refractive index is designed versus radial position for one fiber, two fibers, and 10 fibers per cable. The fiber is designed with different shape profiles with 5 μm core radius, and the fiber refractive index axis ranges from 1.4 to 1.5. The two-dimension intensity profile, near field light intensity plot and with different shape profiles radial intensity profiles are demonstrated and measured for the guided modes of the fiber at different wavelength windows based on the three different designed fibers. Nonlinear propagation parameter, total power launched in fiber core, effective fiber area, and effective refractive index are studied with different shape profile structures versus the spectral operating wavelength based on the three different designed fiber structures.
Mucopolysaccharidosis VI diagnosis by laboratory methods
Authors: Jafaryazdi Rokhsareh , Teimourian Shahram 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI) results from a defect in arylsulfatase B (ARSB). There are several diagnostic methods using to identify patients; hence, we aimed to review these approaches and consider if one of them could be assigned as the gold standard method. The information of this study was obtained by searching through PubMed and Google scholar databases. In order to collect the most accurate and up to date data, we limited our research to papers in the time period between 2010 and 2017. We collected articles related to our research and extracted the most relevant and accurate data which included the steps of MPS VI diagnosis by routine laboratory approaches. We concluded that an all-inclusive diagnostic approach requires urinary glycosaminoglycan (GAG) analysis, enzyme activity analysis and molecular analysis by mutation scanning through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Sanger sequencing or alternative methods such as multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), real-time polymerase chain reaction, array-comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and next generation sequencing (NGS). Reliable classification of patients with MPS VI is necessary for ongoing and future studies on treatments, outcomes and prenatal diagnoses (PNDs). The dependable characterization of patients would be achieved by biochemical techniques and enzymatic assay. However, if a molecular defect is previously identified in the family, PND via mutation scanning is possible.
Validation of blood counters for quality control of platelet concentrates with high platelet counts
Authors: Arlt Nicole , Rothe Remo , Moog Rainer 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
Blood counters are primarily used to measure peripheral blood cells including platelets (PLTs). In routine quality control of platelet concentrates (PCs), counters are also used to analyze very high PLT counts. To meet the requirements of national and European guidelines for quality assurance, the accuracy of counting very high PLT counts has to be validated. The aim of the present study was to validate four blood counters (one of which has two detection methods) focusing on the PLT count.

Methods
The comparison was performed with PCs using the blood counter devices CELL-DYN Ruby (optical count) and CELL-DYN Emerald (impedance count), Sysmex K-4500 (impedance count), Sysmex XN-550 (impedance count) and Sysmex XN-550 (optical count). For precision performances, samples were measured serially 5 times and the coefficients of variation were calculated and compared with manufacturers’ requirements. Additionally, 50 peripheral blood samples were analyzed and standard hemogram parameters (red blood cells [RBC], white blood cells [WBC], hemoglobin [HGB], hematocrit [HCT], PLTs) were compared.

Results
The comparison showed significant differences between the studied blood counter devices in measuring high PLT counts. The CELL-DYN-Emerald, the Sysmex K-4500 and Sysmex XN-500 with the optical counting method measured significantly higher PLT counts compared to the CELL-DYN-Ruby and the Sysmex XN-500 with the impedance counting technology (p<0.0001) independent of their principle of measurement. The manufacturers provide comparable coefficients of variation. We achieved similar results for all counters. All results of the peripheral blood count parameters were comparable.

Conclusions
Our study showed the importance of blood counter validations focusing on PCs with high PLT counts before routine use. Not only the generally fundamental method, but also the manufacturers’ peculiarities seem to play an important role.
Genetic variation of cytochrome b in the prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster)

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) has become a model organism for studying monogamy. A precise account of the phylogeography of this species should increase our understanding of the proximate mechanisms and ultimate factors underlying the observed geographic variation in monogamy. The prairie vole is widespread throughout the North American grasslands, and seven subspecies have been identified based on morphological variation, which suggests the development of genetic structure. However, a prior analysis of allelic diversity at nuclear microsatellite loci showed little geographic differentiation throughout the species’ range. To further address this inconsistency, we sequenced a segment of the mitochondrial cytochrome b locus in 34 individuals from separate geographic locations throughout the species’ range. The mitochondrial analysis revealed three widespread genetic clusters without clear geographic patterns. Thus, the results were consistent with the nuclear analysis by demonstrating low geographic differentiation, indicating likely incomplete lineage sorting in the species. Additionally, the observed patterns of mitochondrial and nuclear variation were not consistent with subspecies designations. Based on our analysis and prior genetic and morphological analyses, we suggest that a reevaluation of the subspecies designations in prairie voles is warranted, with the six contiguous subspecies of prairie voles being synonymized.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
In this study, a generalization of the Estevez–Mansfield–Clarkson (EMC) equation that considers the presence of conformable time-fractional derivatives is investigated analytically. The integer-order model finds applications in mathematical physics, optics, and the investigation of shape developing in liquid drops. In this study, the Sardar sub-equation method, is employed to solve the generalized EMC equation. From the Sardar sub-equation method a broad range of soliton solutions, including dark-bright, combined dark-singular and periodic singular solitons, have been obtained. Some of the results derived in this study are plotted to illustrate that the solutions are solitary waves, indeed.
A dynamic pressure strategy to minimize void formation in vacuum infusion
Authors: Chang Chih-Yuan 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
An improved vacuum infusion (VI) process, called dynamic pressure molding (DPM), has been proposed to reduce void formation during infusion. In this method, the conventional VARTM process is modified by mounting a rigid chamber on top of the mold. The compaction pressure on the vacuum bag and the infusion pressure are independently and dynamically controlled during infusion to achieve the optimal impregnation for avoiding void formation. To reduce the postinfusion time, the premature sealing of the inlet, the heated air compression, and the two-sided drainage are also used in the DPM. Two different characteristics of the preform are tested at various infusion strategies. A one-dimensional nonisothermal filling model coupled with preform deformation is performed to numerically analyze the complete filling process. Results show that the four-step DPM enables at least 96.53 % of the infusion phase to be within the optimal infusion mode, but its effectiveness in reducing the total filling time depends on the preform characteristics. Several limitations of the DPM are interpreted. For comparison purposes, the typical VI process is also modeled.
The Presumption of the Age of Victims under International and Domestic Regulations
Authors: Jakubowska-Hara Jolanta , Mierzwińska-Lorencka Joanna 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The question of the security of proceedings and protection for victims involves a whole array of issues. One of them is the principle of the presumption of the age of the victim, which is an important element in the regulations on the legal protection of children in criminal proceedings. The Polish government has indicated that introducing the principle of the presumption of the victim’s age into the Polish legal system was part of the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals adopted in the UN Agenda 2030. For several years, there has been an emphasis in the field of European law on the need to implement appropriate procedures and take legislative steps for the comprehensive implementation of the obligations under Directive 2011/93/EU of the Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 2011 and Directive 2012/29/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012. Both of these are to be implemented through the provision of Article 49(b) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which was introduced into the Code by the Act of 16 December 2020 amending the Code of Criminal Procedure, which came into force on 9 February 2021. The principle provided for in Article 49(b) establishes a legal assumption used to indicate the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure that should be applied to a victim if their age cannot be determined and they may be a minor.
Protecting Women from Violence in Light of the UN Sustainable Development Goals from the Perspective of a Postmodern Society
Authors: Budyn-Kulik Magdalena 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Among the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals adopted in the so-called Agenda 2030, Goal 5 is defined as achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls, and the objective labelled 5.2 is about the elimination of all forms of violence against women and girls in the public and private spheres, including trafficking, sexual exploitation and other forms of exploitation. The way gender equality is framed in Agenda 2030 in the context of countering violence is unsatisfactory. It relies on outdated perceptions of sexuality, fails to recognize new problems related to the fluidity of gender identity and may indirectly lead to ignoring the problem of violence against people of a gender other than women.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Interest in the issue of domestic violence in Poland has resulted from the rapid development of international law. One of the essential documents in this area is the resolution adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 25 September 2015 titled ‘Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’. One of the main challenges associated with domestic violence is ensuring the safety of the victims. Poland has adopted certain solutions to address this issue, including the establishment of specialized support centres. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the essential characteristics and functions of shelter provided by these centres as one of the forms of assistance provided at the municipality level to persons who have experienced violence. The paper also seeks to assess how such centres operate in practice.
Understanding the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in the Context of Safety and Security for Rural Communities
Authors: Jurgielewicz-Delegacz Emilia , Donnermeyer Joseph F. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article examines challenges to the study of rural crime and criminal justice through the lens of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It emphasizes that the rural population of the world and within many countries is a significant share of the total, even though urbanization will inevitably continue through the remainder of the 21st century. Contrary to longstanding stereotypes, especially those found in criminology, rural places are quite diverse. In addition, rural localities everywhere are changing, and with these changes emerge important issues related to the safety and security of rural populations. All 17 SDGs are discussed within the context of crimes that affect rural people and their perceptions of safety; we examine what rural criminology can do to help criminal justice policy-makers and practitioners focus strategies and tactics suitable for a rural context.
The Norwegian Model of Victim–Offender Mediation as an Original System Approach
Authors: Kużelewski Dariusz 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Victim–offender mediation is considered the most widespread restorative justice measure. It is an institution based on a universal scheme of activities involving the victim and the offender, yet it occurs in a diverse legal environment. Various legal systems regulate the prerequisites for the use of mediation differently, defining in which cases it can be used and who can be a mediator, or giving an institutional framework to entities offering mediation services. One of the most interesting European mediation systems has been developed in Norway, which can be considered a pioneering country in terms of the origins of victim–offender mediation. Comprehensive legal regulation of mediation is a Norwegian peculiarity; it will be analysed in this article against the background of Polish solutions. This analysis will be a starting point for outlining the pitfalls and challenges facing mediation in Norway.

Збереження біорізноманіття, у тому числі рослинного, неможливе без детального вивчення його на всіх рівнях. Інтродукція теплолюбних рослин в країни помірного клімату дає для цього велику кількість матеріалу. Колекція лабораторії тропічних і субтропічних рослин Ботанічного саду Дніпровського національного університету імені Олеся Гончара (ДНУ) слугує базою для постійного спостереження за змінами адаптаційної поведінки рослин з 1945 року. У фондовій оранжереї мікроклімат періодично змінюється через зміни загального клімату та соціальні проблеми. Через це річні температури у тропічному відділі в останні роки наблизились до таких у субтропічних регіонах. У захищеному ґрунті Ботанічного саду культивуються всі основні життєві форми тропічних і субтропічних рослин, а також представники головних флористичних царств. Виникла необхідність оцінити результати їх адаптації, для чого використали шкалу Горницької І. П. Серед 830 таксонів колекції візуально більшість успішно інтродукована (від 41 до 85 балів). Вибіркові спостереження за адаптаційною поведінкою Coffea arabica L., Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L., Psidium littorale Raddi, Rauvolfia vomifolia Afzel. (дерева і чагарники) проводились з 2007 по 2023 рік. Серед трав’янистих багаторічників відібрано 177 мезофітних видів і сортів з 9 родин, що мають декоративні, лікарські та антиоксидантні властивості. Спостереження за їх адаптаційними реакціями проводили з 2022 по 2023 рік. Виявлено, що найбільшу загальну кількість родів в даній групі, а також декоративно-квітучих видів і культиварів має родина Gesneriaceae Dumort. Підраховані показники успішності інтродукції, переважно високі бали у видів, що походять з американського континенту та Південно-Східної Азії. Серед дерев найбільш адаптований Psidium littorale Raddi (77 балів) – цінне плодове дерево (Бразилія). Серед трав’янистих багаторічників з декоративними квітами найбільш адаптовані види та сорти роду Primulina Hance (до 66 балів, Південно-Східна Азія). Найвищий бал успішності інтродукції (85) у чотирьох декоративно-листяних видів і двох з декоративними плодами (рід Rivina L.) з Неотропічного флористичного царства.

Authors: Quispe Julee , Cristofolini Bruna , Tavares Laura , Coviello Carolina , Dei Santi Daniel , Tavares Ricardo 
Published: January 2025

Introdução: Dentre as condições que demandam Cuidados Paliativos (CP), as doenças cardiovasculares têm recebido destaque mais recentemente. A dificuldade de reconhecer a terminalidade em cardiopatias tem sido indicada como fator que compromete a qualidade do cuidado de fim de vida destes. Objetivo: Objetiva-se avaliar a percepção de cardiologistas (C) sobre a expectativa de óbito e a necessidade de CP para pacientes portadores de cardiopatia avançada e/ou terminal. Método: Estudo observacional prospectivo no qual foram coletados em um dia dados demográficos e clínicos dos pacientes internados em um centro de cardiologia. Os C que assistiam estes pacientes responderam um questionário com 2 “perguntas surpresa” relativas à expectativa de óbito em um ano e na internação atual. A partir do padrão de respostas ao questionário, os pacientes foram classificados em perfis: doença em evolução/avançada não terminal (I/II), terminalidade (III) e fase final de vida (IV). Além disso, foram questionados quanto à necessidade de CP para cada paciente.Um Paliativista (P) respondeu às mesmas “perguntas surpresa” com base em dados dos prontuários. Resultado: Foram avaliados 242 pct (90% dos internados), dos quais 34 evoluíram a óbito na internação. Os C e o P classificaram 35,5% e 4,1% dos pacientes como perfil IV, com acerto na previsão de óbito na internação de 32,6% e 70%, respectivamente. C reconheceu a necessidade de CP para 93 pacientes, mas solicitou avaliação do P a apenas 13 (14%). Conclusão: Após a observação do desfecho, observa-se que P acerta mais a previsão de óbitos dos pacientes. Apesar de C reconhecer necessidade de CP, solicita interconsultas da especialidade para minoria dos pacientes, reforçando a necessidade de maior articulação entre C e P.
Estimating the Coseismic Displacement of Ground Motions with Fling-Step Effect Based on an Intrinsic Timescale Decomposition Algorithm
Authors: Geng Yulong , Pu Wuchuan , Xue Yaohui , Kong Fan 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
Strong ground motions resulting from the fling-step effect often exhibit significant static displacement. However, recorded ground-motion signals may display an unreasonable baseline offset because of contamination by low-frequency (LF) noise. Baseline correction is essential to eliminate this offset while preserving the coseismic displacement component. Many studies have generalized the two-stage offset model and proposed methods for empirically determining the starting times (t1 and t2) of the two stages with different levels of offset. To minimize errors caused by the subjective determination of t1 and t2, this article introduces a novel method for detecting optimal values of t1 and t2 and recovering the coseismic displacement of ground motions. The proposed approach uses an intrinsic timescale-decomposition-based filter to eliminate the LF offset component and introduces a quantitative index to identify the starting time points of the offset. After these time points are determined, the corresponding baseline offset is computed using the two-stage offset model. The effectiveness of this method is validated by comparing its results with the coseismic displacement data recorded by dense Global Positioning System networks during the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake and the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. In addition, several existing empirical baseline correction methods are assessed. The results confirm that the proposed method effectively removes the baseline offset and accurately recovers coseismic displacement from strong-motion records.
