Sound patterns, frequency and predictability in inflection
Authors: Cser András 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe paper investigates the relations between phonological form and information content within Latin verbal inflection from two interrelated points of view. It looks at conditional entropy relations within the present paradigm to see how these relate to the textual frequency of the individual forms; and it seeks to answer the question to what extent the phonological form of stems and endings has the potential to lead to ambiguity in morphological marking. The latter issue is approached from the angle of the information content that word forms taken in themselves have about their morphological status. The broader question of potential ambiguity is broken down into two separate questions: one concerns stems where intra-paradigmatic ambiguity would be possible; the other concerns stems that include phonological material that could itself be interpreted as a morphological marker. The absence of potential ambiguity in the first sense, and its severe restriction in the second sense is interpreted here as an emergent mechanism to enhance the information content of verb forms.

Published: June 2023

The external characteristics of a tree give the only clue to the quality of veneer log obtained in harvesting. When the tree is bucked into veneer logs, the cross sections at the butt and top ends of these assortments may provide additional indicators of the quality. Thus, it becomes important to study the abnormalities that can be seen on the end surface of the veneer logs such as heart shakes, and to correlate the occurrence of these imperfections with the quality of veneer that is produced from the veneer log.Therefore, the purpose of this study was to: (1) identify and measure heart shakes length, width and depth in wood in all investigated veneer logs diameter groups: 180-249mm; 250-299mm, 300mm in the period of storage, (2) identify the factors that could initiate heart shakes in veneer logs in the period of storage (number of storage days, weather temperature, moon phases, relative humidity) in all diameter ranges, (3) by analysing the results to work out the recommendations to improve the forest management in forest stands when veneer logs are manufactured.

Published: June 2023

Field trials with the two potato variety were carried out in sod stagnogley soil. Soil agrochemical parameters: pHKCl 6.7 organic matter (OV) content in soil 2.3%, phosphorus (P2O5) content - 149 mg kg-1 and potassium (K2O) content - 200 mg kg-1 in soil. Potato plantations were created using different variants of fertilizer mix with pig (from SIA “Latvi Dan Agro”) and cattle (from SIA “Ziedi JP”) manure digestate and wood ash (from SIA“Gren Jelgava”) in different ratio (digestate :wood ash ratio used: 4:1and 3:1). The rates of innovative mixed fertilizer for pig and cattle manure digestates for potatoes were 15 and 30 t ha-1. Both norms for digestate manure from pure pigs and cattle were used as control options. The potato production norm was 3.0 t ha-1. The placement of the variants in the trial was randomized, in triplicate. In the study, the two types of fertilizer had different effects on potato tuber yield. Using mixtures of pig manure digestate and wood ash in different ratios, the average yield was 34.2 t ha-1, but using mixtures of cattle manure digestate and wood ash, the average yield was 27.8 t ha-1. In the studied variants, its content in potato dry matter varied in the range of 9.15-11.42%. The amount of dry matter affects the culinary properties of the tubers. The application of fertilizer mixtures increased the dry matter content by an average of 1.7–2.7%. Fertilizer variants with higher tuber yield or higher starch content provided the highest starch yield. In general, the use of mixtures of wood ash and biogas digestate to fertilize crops and improve soil fertility can be an efficient way to process both products and can be an environmentally friendly alternative to fertilizers. The objective of the research was to study the influence of digestate and wood ash mixtures fertilizer rates on potato productivity and quality.

Published: June 2023

Nowadays higher education institutions are directly involved in the training of new personnel, so they should seriously puzzle one of the most obvious questions today, how to prepare students to meet the challenges of Industrial Revolution 4.0 in an increasingly globalised society. And although the unequivocal answer to this question doesn’t exist, one thing is certain: while providing Education 4.0 through incorporating advanced technology into the curriculum for implementing best practices and innovative methodological approaches, methods and techniques, higher education institutions should do their best to shape the next generation of highly employable global citizens who can think and act from a global perspective. In the future students who specialise in the field of Computer Engineering and Information Technology will be at the forefront of advancing the technology available to all people in the world and, therefore, they should be globally competent. It means that they should possess a global competence to successfully compete on a global scale. Significant practical experience gained by the authors of the article made it possible to assume that being one of the humanities which is taught to Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates in Ukrainian higher education institutions, English has a great potential for developing their global competence. Considering the fact that Ukrainian 15-year-old students were not a part of the PISA 2018 Global Competence assessment, the present research was aimed at finding out how the participants understood the concept of “global competence”, their awareness of the importance of global competence development in accordance with the requirements and principles of Education 4.0 associated with the Industrial Revolution 4.0 and participants’ views on the role of the English language in its development. For exactly this purpose the authors made a questionnaire in Google Forms. The research participants were 249 Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates who were selected by means of a purposeful sampling method. The conducted research shows that the didactic uniqueness of the English language as an academic discipline aimed at developing global competence is manifested in the fact that it can be seen as both a learning goal and a learning tool. The results obtained became the basis for devising a paradigm defining strategy (the core strategy) and four sub-strategies effective for developing Computer Engineering and Information Technology undergraduates’ global competence in the English language classroom.
Application of genetic algorithms to an inversion of surface-wave dispersion data
Authors: Yamanaka Hiroaki , Ishida Hiroshi 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
A new method for inversion of surface-wave dispersion data is introduced. This method successfully utilizes recently developed genetic algorithms as a global optimization method. Such algorithms usually consist of selection, crossover, and mutation of individuals in a population. To facilitate convergence to an optimal solution, we added elite selection, which ensures that the “best” individual with the smallest misfit value is not excluded from the succeeding generation, and dynamic mutation, which contains a generation-variant mutation probability. Using synthetic and observed earthquake data, we examined the applicability of this genetic surface-wave inversion method in deducing an S-wave profile for sedimentary layers from short- and intermediate-period surface-wave dispersion data. We demonstrated that the method is robust and can be used to interpret surface-wave dispersion data.
An improved air-powered impulsive shear-wave source
Authors: Liu Hsi-Ping , Maier Robert L. , Warrick Richard E. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
We have previously constructed an air-powered, impulsive, SH-wave source for shear-wave velocity measurements using a downhole configuration. One shortcoming of that source is the existence of a forerunning signal generated by the reaction to the rapid acceleration of an inertial mass when a poppet value is opened. By changing the poppet valve to a ball valve, a cleaner signal is generated. The improvement comes about because when a ball valve is opened, its flow capacity increases gradually, resulting in a smooth and gradual acceleration of the inertial mass. Tests involving ground coupling and driving air pressure were conducted to investigate physical parameters of shear-wave generation. We illustrate as an application the measurement of shear-wave velocity in a loess layer.

AbstractThe seismic ground motion hazard is assessed for a 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years for the three counties (Los Angeles, Ventura, and Orange) impacted by the 1994 Northridge earthquake (Mw 6.7). The earthquake source model of the Southern California Earthquake Center has been modified with additional slip-rate information for mapped faults and blind thrusts and incorporated into seismic hazard maps that will be used for making regional hazard and risk mitigation decisions by state and local government agencies. Peak horizontal ground acceleration (pga) and 5% damped spectral acceleration (SA) (0.3 and 1 sec) were calculated with three equally weighted attenuation relationships of Boore et al. (1993), Campbell and Bozorgnia (1994), and Sadigh (written comm., 1994). The results of this assessment indicate high hazard over the entire tri-county area with ground motions exceeding 0.4 g (pga), 1.0 g (0.3-sec SA), and 0.5 g (1-sec SA) nearly everywhere. A Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis is described for two sites located in Los Angeles and Northridge. This analysis yields 95% confidence limits for peak ground acceleration at the two sites that range between ±0.1 and ±0.2 g. Our calculations indicate that the uncertainty in the magnitude-rupture length relations, magnitude distribution, moment-magnitude relation, attenuation relation, and slip-rate contribute most to the hazard uncertainty at these sites and that the highest uncertainties in the mapped ground motion are associated with the strongest anticipated ground motions.

Published: June 2023

Introduction: COVID-19 emerged as a pandemic about 2 years ago. Severe and critical COVID-19 has been associated with increased interleukin 6 (IL-6) level and neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR). This study aimed to test whether IL-6 and/or NLR are associated with COVID-19 mortality.
Methods: Subjects were COVID-19 patients with suspected Omicron variant infection that were hospitalized at Dr. Moewardi Hospital from October 2021 to March 2022. According to their medical records, subjects were divided into survivor and non-survivor groups. Serum level of IL-6 and NLR at admission were recorded, compared, and analyzed for association with mortality.
Results: Seventy-four respondents, average age 53.07 ± 16.2 years, joined the research. The area under curve (AUC) value of IL-6 was 0.740, with a cut-off value of 42.00 mg/dL (73.9% sensitivity; 70.6% specificity). The AUC value of NLR was 0.721, with a cut-off value of 5.51 (73.9% sensitivity; 60.8% specificity). IL-6 had a higher odds ratio than NLR as a risk factor for mortality (6.80 [95% CI 2.24–20.61; p < 0.001]; 4.39 [95% CI 1.48–13.03; p < 0.001], respectively). The correlation between IL-6 and NLR had an r-value of 0.164 (p = 0.164).
Conclusion: There was no difference in sensitivity between IL-6 level and NLR as mortality predictors of COVID-19, but serum IL-6 level was more specific. IL-6 level correlated positively with NLR, but there was no significance.

Published: June 2023

Highlights:

Gynecomastia is a known potential side effect of efavirenz, which may manifest in HIV patients.
Healthcare providers should be vigilant and address the potential adverse effects of medications prescribed to individuals with HIV, including gynecomastia.
Surgeons in resource-limited areas show flexibility and can achieve satisfactory results in procedures despite limited resources and surgical options.

Abstract:
Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) patients can now access antiretroviral drugs even in resource-limited area. The majority of patients receive the fixed daily dose of an efavirenz-based antiviral (ARV) as advised by the World Health Organization (WHO), despite the fact that gynecomastia is a recognized side effect of evafirenz.
Case Ilustration: We report a 31 year-old male with antiretroviral-associated gynecomastia that underwent the bilateral excision without liposuction procedure with satisfying result.
Discussion: Surgeon in limited-resource area faces limited resources to perform some specific procedure. Meanwhile, limited resources also poses patients avoidable adverse events in otherwise clinical setting. The antiretroviral-associated gynecomastia is unavoidable because limited regimen choice. Surgeon needs also to adjust the surgical option to achieve satisfying result without instrument complexities.
Conclusion: We reported satisfying surgical outcome in antiretroviral-associated bilateral gynecomastia patient with limited clinical setting.
