Revisioning Rhetorical Violence in the Afterlife
Authors: Houdek Matthew , Flores Lisa A. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
In this essay, we attend to the rhetorical and spatio-temporal contours of how the urgency to recognize Black life and aid in struggle is detached from a recognition of the deep structural and ontological nature of antiblackness. We center on two seemingly disparate case studies to unpack these phenomena. First, we look at the state lynching of Breonna Taylor and the multiracial coalition that emerged around #sayhername, and second, we turn to the politics and rhetorics of DEI initiatives on college campuses. Guided by scholars writing on Black life, our project asks how we imagine the physicality of violence in this moment in ways that interrupt common frames of both the physical and the moment. We write at the intersection of two larger rhetorical conversations on racialized violence: stoppage and suffocation, and their respective interests in theories of racialized time. We argue that the variants of anti-Black stoppage and suffocation operate on multiple temporal registers of recognition that perform recognition even as they profit from antiblackness. For rhetorical scholars invested in studies of racial violence, the urgency of the moment should serve as a reminder that possibility lies in the inventional, an inventional that requires a disciplined, intentional, and persistent practice and commitment.
Inconvenient Horror: Violence as Rhetoric and the El Paso Shooting
Authors: Pineda Richard 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This essay considers rhetorical violence and the nature of violence as rhetorical in the language and actions of Patrick Crusius, the shooter charged with attacking a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. The language in the Crusius manifesto is the preface to the violence Crusius brought to El Paso resulting in the deaths of twenty-three people: United States citizens, Mexican citizens, and a German national. The essay advances a framework from which to evaluate violence as rhetorical and illuminates the intersection of the shooter's rhetoric and his act of violence.
Algorithmische Fairness in der polizeilichen Ermittlungsarbeit:Ethische Analyse von Verfahren des maschinellen Lernens zur Gesichtserkennung
Authors: Brandner Lou Therese , Hirsbrunner Simon David 
Published: March 2023

This article discusses fairness in artificial intelligence (AI) based policing procedures using facial recognition as an example. Algorithmic decisions based on discriminatory dynamics can (re)produce and automate injustice. AI fairness here concerns not only the creation and sharing of datasets or the training of models but also how systems are deployed in the real world. Quantifying fairness can distract rom how discrimination and oppression translate concretely into social phenomena. Integrative approaches can help actively incorporate ethical, legal, social, and economic factors into technology development to more holistically assess the consequences of deployment through continuous interdisciplinary collaboration.
Food Consumption in Argentina: The Deaton-Paxson Puzzle Beyond Mean Effects
Authors: Echeverría Lucía , Molina Jose Alberto 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Deaton, A., and C. Paxson (1998. “Economies of Scale, Household Size, and the Demand for Food.” Journal of Political Economy 106 (5): 897–930. doi: 10.1086/250035) found the opposite to what theory predicts: food share declines with household size, keeping household per capita expenditure constant. This paper aims to explore the relationship between food demand and household size beyond the conditional mean of food consumption for Argentina using a quantile regression technique. Because standard analysis focuses on the average effects, the existence of the paradox at the lower and upper ends of the conditional food share distribution remains unknown. We find negative and significant effects of household size on food share at the upper tail of the conditional food share distribution, but we find no evidence of the puzzle for households with relatively lower food share that are reasonably richer. Results show the importance of accounting for distributional effects to obtain a complete understanding of food consumption behavior and sheds light on the crucial role of economies of scale in poor households.
A twistor transform and normal forms for Cauchy Riemann structures
Authors: Bland John , Duchamp Tom 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWe use Hitchin’s twistor transform for two-dimensional projective structures to obtain normal coordinates in a pseudoconcave neighbourhood of anO⁢(1)\mathcal{O}(1)rational curve; in the construction, we present every such neighbourhood asQD/FQ_{\mathbb{D}}/\mathcal{F}for some holomorphic foliation ℱ, whereQDQ_{\mathbb{D}}is an open neighbourhood in the standard quadricQ⊂P2×P2Q\subset\mathbb{P}^{2}\times\mathbb{P}^{2}. As a consequence of the normal coordinates, we obtain a new normal form for Cauchy Riemann structures on the three-sphere that are isotopic to the standard one. We end the paper with explicit calculations for the cases arising from deformations of the normal isolated singularitiesX⁢Y=ZnXY=Z^{n}.
Sign-changing solutions for parametric Neumann problems with broken symmetry and arbitrary growth
Authors: He Tieshan , Guo Pengfei 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
We consider a parametric Neumann problem driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator, with a reaction consisting of a critical term plus a Carathéodory perturbation which is only locally restricted near zero and is not assumed to be odd.
Combining variational methods, with upper-lower solutions and truncation techniques, and flow invariance arguments, we show that the problem admits infinitely many sign-changing solutions.
Trends of colorectal cancer screening methods: an analysis of Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data from 2018–2020
Authors: Balcerak Gregory , Garrett Morgan , Greiner Benjamin H. , Hartwell Micah 
Published: March 2023

Abstract

Context
Colorectal cancer (CRC) has a high mortality rate and a large financial burden. Therefore, it is imperative to screen appropriately for this disease. By evaluating trends in different CRC screening methods and evaluating screening methods based on sex and race, improvements in screening can be made.

Objectives
By analyzing data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), our primary objective was to evaluate trends in CRC screening methods from 2018 through 2020. Our secondary objectives were to investigate deviations in screening rates by sex and race/ethnicity.

Methods
A cross-sectional design was utilized to analyze trends in CRC screening methods utilizing data from the BRFSS for the years 2018 through 2020. Sex and race were also analyzed to evaluate for deviations in screening rates.

Results
All race/ethnicity groups most often completed colonoscopies, with all but individuals identifying as Hispanic having higher than 56% completion rates. Individuals reporting as Hispanic received more blood stool tests than other races at 23.4%. Average CRC screening among all methods showed that 89.7% of individuals who reported as being White completed screening, with 91.3% of individuals reporting as Black, and 81.9% with race not listed, completed screening. Individuals identifying as Asian (74.4%), American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN [79.2%]) and Hispanic (78.1%) had lower rates of screening overall.

Conclusions
Our study found that trends in CRC screening were similar across years for individuals who reported as being White or Black. We also found that those identifying as Asian, AI/AN, Hispanic, and those whose identifying race was not listed deviated across years. These latter groups were also less likely to have received colonoscopies, the gold standard of screening. Because CRC is oftentimes a preventable disease, the importance of appropriate screening cannot be emphasized enough.
The Technique of “Book Beating” in Traditional Chinese Book Conservation
Authors: Shen Zhewei , Yu Rong , Liu Peng 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Historic books are important vehicles for understanding the evolution of human civilisation. To preserve these precious historical materials, unremitting research and exploration has been carried out for thousands of years. The introduction of new concepts and technologies has led conservators to uphold different perspectives on traditional techniques and skills. “Book beating” (chuishu 捶书) is a very special, necessary step in the traditional conservation of ancient Chinese books. However, there is a lack of consensus about how the beating technique affects the structure and long-term stability of paper. In this article, we briefly introduce the origins and basic steps of book beating as well as the precautions required, taking into account the perspectives of conservators on book beating. We then discuss the similarities and differences between book beating and “beat paper”. Analysing a number of characteristics such as the beating strength, paper thickness, and tensile strength of the paper with or without the beating we will explore the pros and cons of book beating. Finally, we put forward some ideas for future research to provide theoretical guidance and support for the conservation of ancient books.
The semiotics of motion encoding in Early English: a cognitive semiotic analysis of phrasal verbs in Old and Middle English
Authors: Torres-Martínez Sergio 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis paper offers a renewed construction grammar analysis of linguistic constructions in a diachronic perspective. The present theory, termedAgentive Cognitive Construction Grammar(AgCCxG), is informed byactive inference(AIF), a process theory for the comprehension of intelligent agency. AgCCxG defends the idea that language bear traces of non-linguistic, bodily-acquired information that reflects sémiotico-biological processes of energy exchange and conservation. One of the major claims of the paper is that embodied cognition has evolved to facilitate ontogenic mental alignment among humans. This is demonstrated by the results of a corpus study in which the patterns of association between verbs, the particle UP and argument structure in Old and Middle English have been studied. The conclusion is that, similar to biological systems, the linguistic sign system displays patterns of equilibrium and non-equilibrium. In other words, while in Old English usage near equilibrium was reached through the use of a conservative set of constructional semiotic templates (attachment patterns), associated with motor modalities, Middle English displays high rates of randomness resulting in a less stable, yet distinct, system of constructional attachment.
Experimental method for investigating the formation of flow patterns in a very wide gap Taylor-Couette flow (η = 0.1).
Authors: Hamede Mohammed Hussein , Merbold Sebastian , Egbers Christoph 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
In this study, we investigate the turbulent Taylor-Couette (TC) flow experimentally. First, in order to show the formation of the different patterns in the flow, the flow was seeded with kalliroscope particles and by applying a vertical laser sheet we were able to capture the different patterns in the flow. For a further detailed study, the flow field was measured in horizontal planes at different cylinder heights using Particle image velocimetry (PIV). The formation of patterns appears for the counter-rotation configuration where the outer cylinder rotates in the opposing direction of the inner cylinder rotation. For low shear Reynolds numbers, stable Taylor vortices fulfilling the whole gap appear for very low counter-rotation rates. While for the same rotation rates and higher shear Reynold number, large scale patterns with shorter length scale compared to the classical Taylor vortices appears, which can be described as interlaced fingers from in and outflow. The existence of these patterns leads to enhanced angular momentum transport.

Abstract
Baiget, E, Colomar, J, and Corbi, F. Joint-specific postactivation potentiation enhances serve velocity in young tennis players. J Strength Cond Res 37(4): 840–847, 2023—This study aimed (a) to analyze the influence of sport-specific postactivation potentiation (PAP) on serve velocity (SV) and serve accuracy (SA) in young tennis players, (b) to compare the PAP effects of 2 different conditioning activities (CA) on SV and SA, and (c) to explore if changes in SV would be related to tennis player's neuromuscular performance. Sixteen competition young tennis players performed 3 testing sessions in a randomized order. In the control session, subjects performed a warm-up protocol followed by the SV and SA tests. The experimental sessions involved 1 (shoulder internal rotation [SHIR]) or 2 (SHIR + shoulder flexion [SHF]) repetitions of a 5 second maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) executed before the SV and SA tests. Results showed a moderate significant (p = 0.037) difference between SV at control session and following the SHIR + SHF CA protocol at minute 0 (3.4 ± 4.6%; 4.6 km·h−1; ES = 0.711). Serve accuracy did not differ between CA protocols and control session at any time point. No significant relations were found between force-time curve parameters and SV percent changes at different recovery times. Performing 2, short (5 seconds), upper-limb, tennis joint-specific MVIC seems to enhance SV without negatively affecting SA in young competition tennis players. On the contrary, performing one MVIC does not seem to obtain the same effects. Moreover, tennis players with improved neuromuscular performance do not seem to exhibit a better predisposition to postactivation performance enhancement.
The Human Centromedial Amygdala Contributes to Negative Prediction Error Signaling during Appetitive and Aversive Pavlovian Gustatory Learning

Prediction error (PE) is the mismatch between a prior expectation and reality, and it lies at the core of associative learning about aversive and appetitive stimuli. Human studies on fear learning have linked the amygdala to aversive PEs. In contrast, the relationship between the amygdala and PE in appetitive settings and stimuli, unlike those that induce fear, has received less research attention. Animal studies show that the amygdala is a functionally heterogeneous structure. Nevertheless, the role of the amygdala nuclei in PE signaling remains unknown in humans. To clarify the role of two subdivisions of the human amygdala, the centromedial amygdala (CMA) and basolateral amygdala (BLA), in appetitive and aversive PE signaling, we used gustatory pavlovian learning involving eating-related naturalistic outcomes. Thirty-eight right-handed individuals (19 females) participated in the study. We found that surprise with neutral feedback when a reward is expected triggers activity within the left and right CMA. When an aversive outcome is expected, surprise with neutral feedback triggers activity only within the left CMA. Notably, the BLA was not activated by those conditions. Thus, the CMA engages in negative PE signaling during appetitive and aversive gustatory pavlovian learning, whereas the BLA is not critical for this process. In addition, PE-related activity within the left CMA during aversive learning is negatively correlated with neuroticism and positively correlated with extraversion. The findings indicate the importance of the CMA in gustatory learning when the value of outcomes changes and have implications for understanding psychological conditions that manifest perturbed processing of negative PEs.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTA discrepancy between a prediction and an actual outcome (PE) plays a crucial role in learning. Learning improves when an outcome is more significant than expected (positive PE) and worsens when it is smaller than expected (negative PE). We found that the negative PE during appetitive and aversive taste learning is associated with increased activity of the CMA, which suggests that the CMA controls taste learning. Our findings may have implications for understanding psychological states associated with deficient learning from negative PEs, such as obesity and addictive behaviors.
Параметри інтертекстуального простору української літератури 1920-х років: проблема жіночої (не)видимості
Authors: Скорина Людмила 
Published: March 2023

У статті проаналізована проблема жіночої присутності в інтертекстуальному просторі української літератури 1920-х років. Об’єкт дослідження – творчість письменників, які брали участь у літера-турному житті Радянської України. У першій частині студії висвітлені особливості репрезентації інтертекстем із творів жінок-письменниць у творах письменників-чоловіків, у другій – з’ясовано, як жінки-письменниці апелюють до творів представниць своєї статі.У «чоловічому» сегменті інтертекстуального простору зафіксовані різнотипні інтертекстеми, запозичені з творів 218 письменників, із них – лише 8 жінок: Леся Українка, Марко Вовчок, Марія Загірня, Сапфо, Гаррієт Бічер Стоу, Жорж Санд, Мігрі Хатун, Ганна Ахматова. З’ясовано, що до твор-чості жінок-письменниць автори-чоловіки апелюють у таких ситуаціях: 1) коли йдеться про сфери життя, визнані суто жіночими, зокрема про кохання (Жорж Санд, Сапфо, Мігрі Хатун); 2) якщо твори жінок-письменниць здобули значний резонанс і асоціюються в читацькій свідомості з важ-ливою суспільною проблемою (Гаррієт Бічер Стоу); 3) якщо творчість жінки-письменниці включена до літературного канону (Марко Вовчок, Леся Українка); 4) під впливом літературної моди (Ганна Ахматова); 5) на вибір інтертекстем впливають особисті читацькі уподобання письменників (Марія Загірня). Найпоширенішими різновидами міжтекстової взаємодії є алюзії й ремінісценції, пов’язані з літературною репутацією певної авторки, особливостями рецепції її творчого доробку; зафіксова-но також два епіграфи (з творів Лесі Українки й Мігрі Хатун) і два приклади гіперінтертекстуально-сті (художня трансформація творів Лесі Українки й Сапфо).Другий напрямок дослідження передбачав стислу експлікацію інтертекстуального простору у творах жінок-письменниць. За об’єкт дослідження було обрано твори Марії Галич, Галини Орлів-ни, Варвари Чередниченко й Олександри Свекли з антології «Моя кар’єра. Жіноча проза 20-х років». У цій збірці так само переважають інтертекстеми з творів письменників-чоловіків. Єдина алюзія, пов’язана з «жіночою літературою», виявлена у повісті Варвари Чередниченко «Євпаторія» (згадка про перебування Лесі Українки в Криму). «Не-видимість» жінок в інтертексті української літерату-ри 1920-х років, на мою думку, зумовлена: 1) «дефіцитом авторитетності», упередженим ставленням чоловіків до творчості представниць «другої статі»; 2) незначною присутністю жінок-письменниць у літературному каноні; 3) поширенням андроцентричних стереотипів у культурному середовищі, тому жінки частіше апелюють до прототекстів письменників-чоловіків.
Концептуализация судьбы в творчестве Ф. М. Достоевского
Authors: Погребняк Ю. В. , Цховребов А. C. , Магомедова Т. И. , Хмелевский М. C. 
Published: March 2023

Творчество Ф. М. Достоевского, несомненно, оказывает большое влияние на мировоззрение и, в частности, на языковую картину мира современных русских людей. Таким образом, интересным представляется всестороннее рассмотрение базовых концептов русской лингвокультуры в работах Ф. М. Достоевского. Целью данного исследования является выявление особенностей представления концепта «судьба» в произведениях этого великого писателя. Предметом исследования стали кон-тексты употребления ключевого слова судьба в романах «Идиот» и «Братья Карамазовы». В работе были проанализированы 40 примеров контекстуального использования ключевого слова данного концепта в первом и 57 примеров во втором произведении, а также его синонимов доля, жребий, удел, участь, провидение, рок, фатум.При помощи методов концептуального и контекстного анализа были выявлены понятийная, об-разная и ценностная составляющие данного концепта. Понятийный компонент концепта «судьба» в произведениях Ф. М. Достоевского представлен как последовательность событий в жизни чело-века и после его смерти в образе души, что неразрывно связано с понятием Бога. Образный компо-нент концепта «судьба» в произведениях Ф. М. Достоевского выражен представлением о судьбе как о живом существе, которое может активно совершать какие-либо действия в отношении человека, например, быть к нему благосклонным или, наоборот, жестоким. Ценностный компонент концепта «судьба» в творчестве писателя представлен в основном описанием того, что человек может сделать со своей судьбой и судьбами других людей, например, разделить их судьбу или принимать участие в судьбе других, а также в виде идеи о справедливости судьбы, связанной с идеей справедливости суда Божьего.Большое значение в произведениях Достоевского уделяется идее приобщения одного человека к судьбе другого человека. Самым страшным наказанием для человека, как следует из анализа ав-торских употреблений данного концепта, считается равнодушие других к его судьбе. Вместе с тем в произведениях Ф. М. Достоевского четко прослеживается отношение к судьбе как к предрешенно-сти, либо как к тому, с чем можно бороться или как-то влиять на это. Различные герои показывают различные модели поведения в этом плане. Через концепт «судьба» писатель-философ выражает основные идеи своего творчества – достижение духовной гармонии через единение людей и идея личной ответственности каждого человека за свою судьбу и судьбы других людей, идея справедли-вости суда Божьего и несправедливости суда человеческого.
Increase of cracking resistance of ceramic masses of low-plastic clay

Published: March 2023

The object of research is the physical and chemical processes of forming the structure and properties of ceramic masses based on local low-melting clay raw materials of the Kyiv region of Ukraine by adjusting the chemical and mineralogical composition and technological regimes.
Building ceramic materials are durable, ecological and natural. They provide increased comfort of buildings due to the creation of a favorable temperature and humidity climate of the premises. When using low-melting raw materials in production, there is a need to develop ways and methods to improve the quality of building ceramics. The efficiency of the manufacture of ceramic products largely depends on the processes that occur during drying. This is of crucial importance and affects the quality of finished products and accounts for 10–12 % of the total cost of finished products.
Polymineral clay compositions with the addition of natural mineral raw materials are mainly used for the production of construction materials. For effective use of these materials, it is necessary to study their technological properties. Therefore, the question of researching masses based on low-melting clays with high sensitivity to drying, and the use of zeolite-containing mineral rock as an admixture is relevant. This will allow expanding the nomenclature of building ceramics products. Modern physico-chemical and physico-technological methods of research of raw materials and masses based on them during drying were used to solve the task of obtaining ceramic material from local raw materials with the use of a non-deficient natural additive of zeolite-containing rock as an admixture. The conducted studies indicate that the addition of zeolite-containing rock can be used to improve the drying properties of ceramic masses based on low-melting clays. Adding admixture of zeolite-containing rock also increased the compressive strength of finished products, which ensures defect-free transportation of products to other technological operations.
