Phrase-frames in business emails: a contrast between learners of business English and working professionals
Authors: Xia Detong , Sulzer Mark A. , Pae Hye K. 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
A phrase-frame (p-frame) is a multi-word sequence with a one-word variable within the sequence (e.g., it is * to). P-frames are important components of language production and can demonstrate phraseological patterning. This study examined p-frames retrieved from one learner business emails corpus (1,413 texts based on the Education First-Cambridge Open Language Database) and one working professional email corpus (1,145 texts from the Enron email dataset). P-frames were investigated both quantitatively and qualitatively in terms of their structural characteristics, functional characteristics, and variability. Our results showed that the working professionals and the learners of business English used p-frames differently. The working professionals used p-frames in ways that aligned with written conventions, whereas the learners of business English used p-frames in ways that did not accord well with written conventions. This difference was detected by comparing tendencies in function-word frames and frames for referential function. In addition, p-frames used by the working professionals displayed a higher degree of variability than those by the learners of business English. This study facilitates an understanding of learners’ p-frame use in English for business purposes and suggests that p-frames be incorporated into the teaching and learning of L2 business writing.

Published: February 2023

Body ownership and the sense of agency are two central aspects of bodily self-consciousness. While multiple neuroimaging studies have investigated the neural correlates of body ownership and agency separately, few studies have investigated the relationship between these two aspects during voluntary movement when such experiences naturally combine. By eliciting the moving rubber hand illusion with active or passive finger movements during functional magnetic resonance imaging, we isolated activations reflecting the sense of body ownership and agency, respectively, as well as their interaction, and assessed their overlap and anatomic segregation. We found that perceived hand ownership was associated with activity in premotor, posterior parietal, and cerebellar regions, whereas the sense of agency over the movements of the hand was related to activity in the dorsal premotor cortex and superior temporal cortex. Moreover, one section of the dorsal premotor cortex showed overlapping activity for ownership and agency, and somatosensory cortical activity reflected the interaction of ownership and agency with higher activity when both agency and ownership were experienced. We further found that activations previously attributed to agency in the left insular cortex and right temporoparietal junction reflected the synchrony or asynchrony of visuoproprioceptive stimuli rather than agency. Collectively, these results reveal the neural bases of agency and ownership during voluntary movement. Although the neural representations of these two experiences are largely distinct, there are interactions and functional neuroanatomical overlap during their combination, which has bearing on theories on bodily self-consciousness.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTHow does the brain generate the sense of being in control of bodily movement (agency) and the sense that body parts belong to one's body (body ownership)? Using fMRI and a bodily illusion triggered by movement, we found that agency is associated with activity in premotor cortex and temporal cortex, and body ownership with activity in premotor, posterior parietal, and cerebellar regions. The activations reflecting the two sensations were largely distinct, but there was overlap in premotor cortex and an interaction in somatosensory cortex. These findings advance our understanding of the neural bases of and interplay between agency and body ownership during voluntary movement, which has implications for the development of advanced controllable prosthetic limbs that feel like real limbs.

Published: February 2023

Background
Adrenal insufficiency (AI) is potentially life-threatening, and accurate diagnosis is crucial. The first-line diagnostic test, the adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) stimulation test, measures serum total cortisol. However, this is affected in states of altered albumin or cortisol-binding globulin levels, limiting reliability. Salivary cortisol reflects free bioactive cortisol levels and is a promising alternative. However, few studies are available, and heterogenous methodologies limit applicability.

Methods
This study prospectively recruited 42 outpatients undergoing evaluation for AI, excluding participants with altered cortisol-binding states. Serum (immunoassay) and salivary (liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry) cortisol levels were sampled at baseline, 30 min, and 60 min following 250 µg synacthen administration. AI was defined as a peak serum cortisol level <500 nmol/L in accordance with guidelines.

Results
The study recruited 21 (50%) participants with AI and 21 without AI. There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics, blood pressure, or sodium levels between groups. Following synacthen stimulation, serum and salivary cortisol levels showed good correlation at all timepoints (R2 = 0.74, P < 0.001), at peak levels (R2 = 0.72, P < 0.001), and at 60 min (R2 = 0.72, P < 0.001). A salivary cortisol cut-off of 16.0 nmol/L had a sensitivity of 90.5% and a specificity of 76.2% for the diagnosis of AI.

Conclusion
This study demonstrates a good correlation between serum and salivary cortisol levels during the 250 µg synacthen test. A peak salivary cortisol cut-off of 16.0 nmol/L can be used for the diagnosis of AI. It is a less invasive alternative to evaluate patients with suspected AI. Its potential utility in the diagnosis of AI in patients with altered cortisol-binding states should be further studied.

To improve the meat quality of Nei Mongol mutton and the benefits for farmers, we selected Australian salmon hybrid lambs as experimental subjects to investigate the effects of Allium mongolicum Regel powder (AMR) and yeast-fermented distiller’s grains (DGS) on their production performance and economic efficiency. The results showed that the DGS group had higher kidney index, the AMR group had better meat quality, and the economic efficiency ratio of DGS and AMR was 2.08. In conclusion, both feeds had no adverse effects on the production performance of lambs, and the DGS group had greater potential for promotion.

Authors: Prikhodko L. V. , Arsenova E. V. 
Published: February 2023

The article describes the modelling of strategic infrastructure project effects and results using methods of analysing direct and indirect effects and helping to determine the feasibility of railway infrastructure project implementation. Neglecting this fact significantly reduces the overall efficiency of infrastructure projects, and in some cases leads to the wrong decisions that reject project implementation.Investigations made by authors allow to identify, classify and quantitatively estimate the direct and indirect effects from the implementation of infrastructure projects, including integrated assessment of budgetary efficiency and an assessment of economic effects for the development of territories.Among indirect effects the special attention was paid to the multimodal effects resulting from the redistribution of passenger and cargo flows and more rational capacity of the transportation system. The attention was paid to the multiplier effects caused in related sectors of the economy, agglomeration effects leading to increased connectivity of urban and suburban areas and the corresponding growth in employment, investment and productivity, the effects of optimising subsidies, etc.Scenario forecasting procedures were used within the presented investigations. Macroeconomic effects, bottlenecks in the railway system impact on the level of undertransportation of goods as well as price arbitrage were determined for various scenarios.

Relevance. The survival and reproductive rates of mini-tubers obtained from in vitro potato plantlets were observed to increase under greenhouse conditions. This increase was diagrammed based on the experimental data. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of various types of bio-soils on the multiplication factor of mini-potatoes in vitro at the stage of original seed production in protected ground conditions.Materials and methods. The research was conducted in FSBSI “Federal Scientific Center of Agricultural Biotechnology of the Far East named after A.K. Chaiki” (Timiryazevsky settlement, Ussuriysk urban district, Primorsky kray) in 2021.In vitroplantlets of four potato varieties from different maturity groups were used as the research object: Meteor (early), Sante (medium early), Dachnyi (mid-season), and Smak (medium late). These potato varieties were admitted to use in the 12th (Far Eastern) region. The experiments were carried out in a 260 m2 greenhouse during spring and summer. Five variants of potting soil were studied. An agrochemical analysis of the soil mixtures was performed in the Laboratory of Agrochemical Analyses according to generally accepted methods. The reproductive rate of a variety was calculated from the number of survived plants in vials: the total reproductive rate and the reproductive rate of standard tubers (according to GOST 33996-2016). For this purpose, potato sizing squares and the visual method for the rejection of defective material were implemented.Results. Three out of five studied soil mixtures were determined to be effective for four potato varieties used in the experiments: a) 70% peat, 20% biocompost, and 10% vermiculite; b) 60% peat, 30% humus, and 10% sand; c) 60% peat, 20% humus, 10% humus from seaweeds, and 10% vermiculite.

Published: February 2023

Relevance. In the vegetable market, cucumber is in stable demand. It also occupies one of the leading places in the structure of sown areas after root crops, cabbage, and tomato. In addition to high yields, modern varieties (hybrids) of cucumber, are characterized by good marketability of green cukes and transportability. The stable demand for green cukes among the population, as well as their high economically valuable characteristics, ensure constant interest in this crop both at large and small farms, which supply a significant part of the market with the fresh produce in spring and summer. Local peasant farms grow cabbages, root vegetables, onions, and watermelons, but very few of those cultivate cucumbers. Those are mainly grown in spring greenhouses. This imbalance is explained by the lack of cucumber varieties and hybrids adapted to local conditions.The purpose of this study is the assessment of a collection of parthenocarpic F1 cucumber hybrids and identification of highly productive varieties suitable for growing in polycarbonate greenhouses suitable in the spring-summer rotation in the south of the Amur Region. The object of the study were 11 F1 cucumber hybrids of domestic and foreign selection.Results. According to the results of studying the collection of parthenocarpic hybrids of cucumber grown in spring/summer polycarbonate greenhouses in the south of the Amur Region, marketable green cukes are formed on day 44-54 after germination. The hybrids Amur F1, Artist F1, Director F1, Componist RZ F1, Bjorn F1, Gunnar F1, and Cedric F1 are characterized by high productive facility. They have formed 9.0–13.0 kg/m2 of marketable green cukes. According to the test panel score, the hybrids Bettina F1, Pasalimo F1, and Gunnar F1, have the best gustatory quality (4,8-5,0 points).

Published: February 2023

Relevance. Pumpkin is a food, medicinal and fodder crop of the Cucurbitaceae family. It is valued for its high content of vitamins, minerals, organic acids. At present, thanks to the huge variety of species and modern selection, it is possible to select pumpkin varieties for cultivation in almost any region, including areas with short and not too hot summers. Udmurtia belongs to the zone of risky farming, the end of spring frosts is observed on average in the first ten days of June, and autumn frosts on the soil are possible at the end of August. Due to the short frost-free period, it is necessary to choose earlier maturing varieties, grow the crop through seedlings and use temporary shelters. The pumpkin fruit is usually large in size, is a thick layer of pulp, covered with a dense peel. When cutting such a fruit, the pumpkin is not stored in the future, it requires urgent processing. In this connection, in recent years, portioned varieties of pumpkin, the size of the fruit of which does not exceed 1.5–3.0 kg, have become increasingly in demand.Materials and Methods. The purpose of the research: a comparative assessment of varietal characteristics of growth and productivity of pumpkin species. In 2020–2021 in the conditions of the Udmurt Republic, experiments were carried out to study the characteristics of growth and productivity of pumpkin varieties. We studied varieties of pumpkin: Pearl, Crumb, Honey Tale, Marble, Rossiyanka, Smile, Candied fruit.Results and its discussion. Within two years, pumpkin varieties of large-fruited and nutmeg were studied. On average, for two years, the pumpkin Medovaya skazka distinguished itself with the highest yield. In 2021, the yield for the Medovaya Skazka variety was 64.7 t/ha. The yield increase was obtained due to an increase in fruit weight, which in 2020 amounted to 2.9 kg, in 2021 - 6.5 kg. The studied varieties of pumpkin differed in quality indicators of fruits. On average, over two years, the varieties Rossiyanka and Mramornaya showed an increase in the content of water-soluble sugars in fruits. The fruits of the pumpkin Candied fruit and Kroshka were distinguished by a high content of dry matter.

Purpose: The purpose of our research was to determine the prevalence of overweight and obese school children 6-15 years of age. We wanted to determine the children´s knowledge about obesity and treatment for obesity. We also wanted to raise awareness about obesity as a chronic disease. The results of the current could facilitate targeting prevention activities.
Methods: The study included 966 children, 6-15 years of age, from different primary schools in Slovenia. The study was conducted from 2012-2013 using a questionnaire to acquire epidemiologic information about overweight children and was processed using basic statistical methods with SPSS.
Results: We showed that 12.7% of children were overweight; 8.4% of children were in the overweightcategory and 4.3% were in the obese category. Of the enrolled children, 77% were of the opinion that their eating habits were suitable, despite the fact that only 66% had 5 meals per day and 61% had breakfast every day. One-half of the children claimed to be physically active and 70% were sedentary < 2 h daily.
Conclusion: With respect to excessive nourishment of children, Slovenia ranks lower than other countries. Knowledge about obesity as a chronic disease among Slovenian school children was limited, as was knowledge about different treatments for obesity. Thus, there is a public health need to preventchildhood obesity.
Lactobacillus plantarum PCS 26 as a probiotic dietary supplement in Slovenian patients with metabolic syndrome: a pilot clinical study
Authors: Gorenjak Mario , Škorjanc Dejan , Skok Pavel 
Published: February 2023

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of a probiotic dietary supplement on physical-anthropometric and biochemical markers in Slovenian patients with metabolic syndrome.
Methods: This prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot clinical trial involved 16 volunteers who consumed a probiotic dietary supplement over a period of 3 months. The volunteers underwent clinical assessments before and at the end of the period of consuming the dietary supplement or placebo.
Results: At a concentration of 1 × 109 colony-forming units per day (N = 8), the Lactobacillus plantarum PCS 26 supplement decreased waist circumference (p = 0.043), lowered serum cholesterol (p = 0.028), and maintained serum adiponectin levels (p = 0.629). In the group that received the placebo (N = 8), no differences were found in the waist circumference (p = 0.750) or serum cholesterol levels (p = 0.225); however, we found a statistically significant reduction of the serum adiponectin levels (p = 0.036).
Conclusion: Although the number of patients examined was too low to draw any firm conclusions, dietary supplementation with the probiotic strain Lactobacillus plantarum PCS 26 exerted some favorable effects that could alleviate the symptoms of metabolic syndrome and reduce the clinical manifestations and risks of cardiovascular diseases. These results represent a starting point to carry out an extensive long-term clinical trial that would provide insight into the mechanisms of action of probiotic bacteria in preventing or relieving metabolic syndrome or its components.
Is Fabry disease an indication for a transcatheter aortic valve implantation? A case of successful surgical aortic valve replacement with an adverse postoperative course
Authors: Antonič Miha 
Published: February 2023

Purpose: Fabry disease (FD) is an extremely rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme α-galactosidase A, which results in intracellular accumulation of glycosphingolipids. In the heart, accumulating sphingolipids and accompanying fibrosis promote hypertrophy, conduction disturbances, thickening of the valves, and accelerated coronary artery disease resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality.
Case report: Here, we present a case of a 57-year old male with FD, severe aortic valve stenosis, and permanent atrial fibrillation who underwent successful and uncomplicated surgical aortic valve replacement, but postoperatively developed severe complications of nearly all organ systems, which resulted in death.
Conclusion: Although the patient risk profile did not meet the criteria for transcatheter aortic valve implantation, this treatment option is presented and discussed as a possible or even preferable alternative to surgery.
