Semantic anchoring
Authors: Fernández-Rubiera Francisco J. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
In Asturian, and differently from its western Iberian neighbors (i.e., Galician and European Portuguese), enclisis (or postverbal clitics) is also attested in embedded contexts. This syntactic structure is shown to give rise to a [+epistemic] reading of the content in the embedded clause, an interpretation that may be anchored either to the speaker, to the matrix subject, or to an intermediate subject. Following previous work, I show that both the different clitic patterns attested and the [±epistemic] anchoring these patterns give rise to can receive a principled account under the analysis entertained. In turn, this chapter contributes to further our understanding of how syntax works in parallel with semantics to derive these syntactic structures and their interpretation.
Are Asturian clitics distinctly distinct?
Authors: Lorenzo Guillermo 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This chapter is focused on an idiosyncratic feature of Asturian in the context of other neighboring Romance languages. In all these languages, the regular clitic forms for the third person dative and the third person accusative cannot cluster together; as a consequence, one or the other must be replaced by another item or they must fuse into a single form. In Asturian, however, clitics remain the same in that context. This chapter explores the thesis that such a state of affairs is due to the fact that the Asturian dative clitics incorporate the properties of a locative and justifies it historically.
Negation in Asturian
Authors: San-Segundo-Cachero Rosabel 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The discourse markers in modern Asturian non and nun are not just two variants of the same unit of negation, as has been traditionally thought. Rather, they are lexical items that codify different types of polarity and express different types of negation. The present analysis will show that non is a peripheral independent C-unit that expresses relative polarity and is used to refute a previous utterance (metalinguistic negation). Nun, on the other hand, is an ambiguous negative marker: not only does it codifies negative polarity in ΣP and legitimises negative polarity items (sentential negation); it is also linked to ascending intonation, can activate the <objection> value of relative polarity in C, and refutes a previous statement.
When data challenges theory
Authors: Garassino Davide , Jacob Daniel 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This article provides a comprehensive survey on current research
on information structure so as to clarify some ‘paradoxical’ effects
stemming from the tension between data and theory. Paradoxes are here
defined as unexpected data in light of certain assumptions held in
mainstream literature. More specifically, we explore two possible sources of
paradoxes: certain features of the experimental design and, above all,
inadequate discourse models. Mainly considering dislocation and cleft
sentences in French and Italian we suggest that some apparent paradoxes
(such as non-focalizing clefts or dislocation expressing focus-related
functions) can be conceived of as the effect of general pragmatic mechanisms
and rhetorical strategies exploited by speakers. We also claim that these
effects can be better understood through explicit models of discourse.
Remarks on information structure marking asymmetries
Authors: Masia Viviana 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Asymmetries in topic-focus marking have extensively been
discussed in recent typological contention, with a view to finding
an interlinguistically viable definition of information structure
units (Lazard 1994, Zimmermann & Onea 2011,
Matić & Wedgwood
2013). In this paper I will address Zimmermann & Onea’s (2011) universal
outline of focus as information unit indicating the presence of
alternatives which are relevant for the interpretation of a
sentence. To this view I will oppose an epistemically grounded
profile of topic and focus according to which these two information
units encode evidential meanings in conversation. Notably, it is
argued that while focus encodes a meaning of
individual evidentiality, topic bears a meaning
of mutual evidentiality (Hintz & Hintz 2017).
Alternatives to information structure
Authors: Matić Dejan 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The paper questions the assumption that information
structure is a necessary component of communication. It is shown
that there is no language-independent evidence that communication is
based on regular alternation of presupposed and focused information,
and that sentences necessarily convey information about topics. The
argumentation to this effect is circular and based on contextual
determinism and reification of interpretative effects. If we dispose
of these fallacies, the need to posit a separate
information-structural level of meaning disappears. This opens up a
competely new research paradigm in discourse organisation which
takes into account the practically infinite variability of natural
languages, psycholinguistic evidence, social and
information-transmitting nature of communication, and many other
factors.
The curious case of the rare focus movement in French
Authors: Larrivée Pierre 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The existence of the left-periphery accounts for the
availability of Hanging Topics, Dislocations, and Focus across
languages. However, cross-linguistic persistence does not exclude
differential rates of realization. Focus movement seems common in
Italian (Bianchi 2013); it
is rare in French, and restricted to only some of its varieties. The
reason for the low rate of Focus movement in French relates to its
competition with clefts. This is accounted for by the
language’s prosodic constraints. French demonstrably disfavors
pre-verbal stress, which discourages pre-verbal Focus movement, and
favors the post-verbal focused phrase of clefts. Structural
properties of languages account for the variable currency of
cross-linguistically stable configurations.
Translation as a source of pragmatic interference?
Authors: Garassino Davide 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
In this paper, we pursue two main (interconnected) goals,
relying on a comparable and parallel corpus of French and Italian
cleft sentences. First, we assess the most typical formal and
functional properties of clefts in these languages, while also
considering variation due to the different types of data. Second, we
verify the presence of interference in the translation of clefts
from French into Italian. Translators’ choices mostly align with
information-structural patterns found in original Italian texts, but
word-for-word translation styles can increase the frequency of
less-common cleft types in Italian, such as Broad Focus and
Information Focus clefts. However, odd or infelicitous pragmatic
effects arise only in very few cases.
Simulation of antihydrogen deexcitation in neutral atom traps for improved trapping and cooling
Authors: Malbrunot C , Wolz T , Nowak L , Comparat D 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
We present results of simulations highlighting the performance of a cooling mechanism in a magnetic trap tailored for excited Rydberg atoms (or molecules) with high magnetic moment. Unlike previous work, the cooling is achieved through fast stimulated decay of inter-manifold transitions which optimizes the scheme. This mechanism is relevant to experiments with trapped antihydrogen atoms for which the trapping fraction is currently low. We find several-fold enhancements of the number of atoms trapped in the configurations probed.

Abstract
In this work, the synaptic characteristics together with 5 bits (32 states) operation based on polycrystalline-silicon (poly-Si) ferroelectric thin-film transistor (FeTFT) with HfZrO

The impacts of pulse time on the potentiation and depression states are studied by a modulation scheme with incremental pulse voltages. The potentiation and depression rates of the conductance (G

The small pulse time and potentiation/depression voltages of FeTFTs are responsible for the polarization switching of the ferroelectric layer following the minor operation-loop. Compared to the depression state, it leads to more stable retention and endurance behavior of the potentiation state due to the different depolarization electric fields.
Corrigendum: Polarized QED cascades (2021 New J. Phys.
23 053025)
Authors: Seipt Daniel , Ridgers Christopher P , Del Sorbo Dario , Thomas Alec G R 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
In the published version of the paper we made a sign error in the calculation of the direction of the magnetic field in the rest frame of the particles, which affects the definition of the spin-up direction in the collision operators. Correcting this does not affect the main claims of the paper: (i) the reduction of the cascade growth rate, (ii) the polarization of high-energy particles being opposite to Sokolov–Ternov theory, and (iii) an excess or a shortage of particle production in the early stages of cascade development in photon seeded cascades depending on the photon polarization.
Solar energy as an early just transition opportunity for coal-bearing states in India
Authors: Malik Aman , Bertram Christoph 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Continued investment in coal embroils regions in coal lock-ins, creating dependence and vested interests around coal and thereby limiting the speed and potential to switch to cleaner energy. In India, four states contribute 70% of coal production, with regions surrounding mines also housing significant operating and under-construction coal power stations. On the other hand, states in the west and south of India dominate current and near-term renewable energy capacity growth, broadly following patterns of highest resource potentials. We show that following current policies, by the end of the decade, coal-bearing states will likely sink deeper into carbon lock-ins, while the rest of the country, especially western and southern states could become increasingly decarbonised. Even in decarbonisation scenarios, gains from job and value creation in the clean energy sector might primarily take place away from existing coal regions, raising equity concerns, and ultimately putting the political feasibility of such a scenario in question. We suggest that policies aiming at higher renewable installations (mostly solar due to better potentials) in coal-bearing states, although not a one-to-one panacea, could provide an early break from lock-ins and into a just transition. This may, however, require a dedicated program and imply a small mark-up in power system costs. They would, however, help for medium-term diversification and job creation in all regions which will be key for assuring political support for the transition.
Single-molecule and -particle spectroscopy in Leiden: absorption, scattering and fluorescence
Authors: Adhikari Subhasis , Orrit Michel 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Detection of single molecules or particles avoids ensemble averaging and thus is able to provide a very local heterogeneous information which is not available from an ensemble measurement. Single molecules or particles can be detected based on their three characteristic optical properties, absorption, scattering and fluorescence/photoluminescence, in addition to their label-free detection. This short review focuses on our group’s research towards understanding and imaging the above three kinds of optical signals from single molecules and particles.

Noisy linear problems have been studied in various science and engineering disciplines. A class of ‘hard’ noisy linear problems can be formulated as follows: Given a matrix

is a noise vector that cannot be identified. For solving such a noisy linear problem, we consider a quantum algorithm based on a divide-and-conquer strategy, wherein a large core process is divided into smaller subprocesses. The algorithm appropriately reduces both the computational complexities and size of a quantum sample. More specifically, if a quantum computer can access a particular reduced form of the quantum samples, polynomial quantum-sample and time complexities are achieved in the main computation. The size of a quantum sample and its executing system can be reduced, e.g., from exponential to sub-exponential with respect to the problem length, which is better than other results we are aware. We analyse the noise model conditions for such a quantum advantage, and show when the divide-and-conquer strategy can be beneficial for quantum noisy linear problems.
The Material of Policing: Budgets, Personnel and the United States’ Misdemeanour Arrest Decline
Authors: Beck Brenden , Holder Eaven , Novak Abigail , Kaplan Jacob 
Published: February 2022

AbstractWhat accounts for the steady decline in misdemeanour arrest rates in the United States following their peak in the mid-1990s? This article links the fluctuation in low-level law enforcement to changes in the budget and staffing resources cities devoted to policing. This materialist explanation contrasts with accounts that emphasize policy changes like the adoption of community policing. Dynamic panel regression analyses of 940 municipalities indicate low-level arrest rates declined most in places that reduced their police expenditure and personnel, net of crime and other controls. The adoption of community policing was unrelated to misdemeanour arrests. Findings suggest lawmakers should consider how increasing police budgets or police force sizes will likely be accompanied by increases in misdemeanour arrests and their attendant harms.

Abstract
The highly contagious severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 Omicron variant increases risk for nosocomial transmission despite universal masking, admission testing, and symptom screening. We report large increases in hospital-onset infections and 2 unit-based clusters. The clusters rapidly abated after instituting universal N95 respirators and daily testing. Broader use of these strategies may prevent nosocomial transmissions.
Domestic Dynamics and China’s Engagement in Global Renewable Energy Governance
Authors: Yao Lixia 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
China’s transformation into the world’s largest energy consumer constitutes one of the most profound changes to the global energy system in recent years. In providing the low-carbon technology sector with financial assistance and technical solutions aimed at developing clean energy across the world, China has proactively contributed to global energy governance. China’s emergence as a global leader in renewable energy development and emissions reduction, therefore, carries positive implications for its future role in global renewable energy governance. In seeking to understand the structure and trends of China’s domestic renewable energy governance, this study analyses what role China can and will play in the global sphere. Specifically, by examining how its domestic renewable energy context shapes its global approach in this regard, the study analyses two aspects of China’s engagement in global renewable energy governance: the institutional aspect and the market aspect. The study concludes by making recommendations as to how China may play a more positive and active role in global renewable energy governance.
Segmentectomy versus wedge resection for radiological solid predominant and low metabolic non-small cell lung cancer
Authors: Kagimoto Atsushi , Tsutani Yasuhiro , Mimae Takahiro , Miyata Yoshihiro , Okada Morihito 
Published: February 2022

Abstract

OBJECTIVES
The prognosis of segmentectomy and wedge resection for solid predominant early-stage non-small cell lung cancer with low metabolic activity is unclear.

METHODS
This study aimed to assess patients who underwent segmentectomy or wedge resection with curative intent for clinically node-negative non-small cell lung cancer presenting as a solid predominant tumour (consolidation tumour ratio &gt;50%) with a whole size ≤3 cm and [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose accumulation weaker than that of the mediastinum tissue (Deauville score, 1 or 2) on positron emission tomography/computed tomography. The cumulative incidence of recurrence (CIR) was compared using the Gray method, and the predictive factor of CIR was analysed using the Fine and Gray method.

RESULTS
Of 140 patients included in this study, 93 (66.4%) underwent segmentectomy and 47 (33.6%) underwent wedge resection. No significant difference in the clinical stage was found between the 2 groups. The CIR was higher with wedge resection than with segmentectomy (P = 0.004). Recurrence after wedge resection was noted in 4 (8.5%) patients, 2 of whom had a recurrent site containing lung parenchyma of the preserved lobe and hilum lymph node, which would have been resected if segmentectomy had been performed. In the multivariable analysis for CIR using inverse probability of treatment weighting and the procedure, wedge resection was a significantly worse predictive factor (hazard ratio, 12.280; P = 0.025).

CONCLUSIONS
Segmentectomy rather than wedge resection should be considered for solid predominant, small-size non-small cell lung cancer even if [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose accumulation is low.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Nezara viridula (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), commonly known in the U.S. as the southern green stink bug (SGSB), is a cosmopolitan, highly polyphagous feeder that causes severe damage to a wide range of agronomically important crops such as fruit, vegetable, grain, tobacco, and cotton, throughout much of the United States, and is a global pest of considerable ecological, agricultural, and economical interest. During dissection of female Nz. viridula, conspicuous black and brown spots or lesions were observed on various internal organs. To determine the cause of these spots or lesions, tissues of fat body, spermatheca, ovaries, and ovulated eggs were collected from healthy and infected individuals. The gross morphology of the spots was characterized, and the microorganisms associated with the infection were identified by amplicon sequencing of the V4 region of the small subunit rRNA gene. The presence of a microsporidian pathogen Nosema maddoxi, Becnel, Solter, Hajek, Huang, Sanscrainte, & Estep (Microsporidia: Nosematidae) which has been observed on other species of stink bug, was evidenced for the first time. The characterization of the gross morphology of this associated microsporidian may enable more rapid determination of microsporidia infection in stink bug colonies and field populations.
Japanese Newspaper Portrayals of Refugees—A Frame Analysis from 1985 to 2017
Authors: Cheng John W , Fraser Nicholas A R 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Several studies of western countries link negative media stereotyping of refugees to support for restrictive policies. However, less is known about Japan, an Asian country that has been widely criticized for its strict refugee policy. Our study addresses this gap by exploring, first, trends in Japanese news media coverage of different refugee populations and second, whether left-leaning news outlets cover refugees differently than right-leaning ones. Using quantitative deductive frame analysis of 3372 Japanese newspaper articles published between 1985 and 2017, we find that despite some consistency in the frequency with which certain frames appear, media coverage reflects contextual differences of specific refugee populations. The results also show that Japanese newspapers generally use sympathetic frames at higher frequencies than negative ones and left-leaning newspapers cover refugees more often and more sympathetically than right-leaning newspapers. Our findings suggest that there may be no direct linkage between negative media coverage and strict policies in host countries with small and less publicly visible refugee populations, such as Japan.
