On the comparability of prosodic categories: why ‘stress’ is difficult
Authors: Himmelmann Nikolaus P. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article argues that the prosodic category stress in West Germanic languages, which implicitly underlies practically all work on stress, is a complex cluster concept consisting of at least six dimensions which in turn involve a number of subdimensions. Because of its complexity, this concept is not useful for cross-linguistic comparison. A promising starting point for further typological inquiry is one of the six dimensions, i.e. acoustic and auditory prominence. However, identifying acoustic and auditory prominence distinctions cross-linguistically is also not straightforward and requires considerable empirical effort. Nevertheless, cross-linguistic comparison is still possible in the case of ‘difficult’ cluster concepts such as stress and does not require the use of arbitrary comparative concepts.
A human error risk priority number calculation methodology using fuzzy and TOPSIS grey
Authors: Wang Xiaochuan 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In the implementation of management error proofing, enterprises need to carry out risk evaluation and ranking of management activities error, to determine error proofing improvement order. We note that management function failure is different from industrial failure, and the management activity error as its cause is also different from operational or device error, so the method generally used in industry is not suitable for the risk assessment of management activity error. To address this issue, this study integrates the FMEA (failure modes and effect analysis) with the ISO9001 standardized management system framework describing multilevel and multi-attribute management activities, and the human errors that may lead to functional failure of quality management activities are identified at each level and each category. The three factors (severity (S), occurrence (O), and detection (D)) of errors in each management activity are evaluated and integrated into the risk priority number for each quality management activity error. The two major defects of the traditional FMEA in the practical application process are as follows: (1) the evaluation of error attributes of various management activities is basically qualitative language description, which cannot be quantified; (2) the other one disadvantage is that it ignores the fact that three factors have the different weights in the system rather than equality, and not considering the relative importance of between them. In this article, the fuzzy set theory and the grey relational decision theory are, respectively, applied to improve the two defects and to improve the accuracy of the decision. Finally, a numerical example of a coal mine is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. This study provides a basis for managers and practitioners to quantitatively evaluate and prevent errors in management activities.

The effect of filler loading and APTES treatment on the performance of PSf/SBA-15 mixed matrix membranes
Authors: Vatankhah Gholamhossein , Aminshahidy Babak 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The fabrication of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) is of particular importance due to their advantages over neat membranes. The performance of MMMs is a function of the type and fraction of the nanoparticles in the membrane. Moreover, the proper interaction of the polymer and nanoparticles affects the MMMs performance. In this study polysulfone (PSf)/SBA-15 mesoporous silicas MMMs were prepared and their performance was evaluated for CO2/CH4 gas separation. SBA-15 mesoporous silicas were previously synthesized and functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane by post-synthesis treatment. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, N2 adsorption–desorption, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis was applied to examine the functional groups, morphology, and textural properties of the unmodified and modified mesoporous silica in the prepared membrane, respectively. The effects of modified and unmodified SBA-15 particle loading were investigated for the gas separation performance of PSf/SBA-15 membranes. The experimental results illustrate that a higher modified mesoporous silica loading leads to an increase in gas permeance and gas pair selectivity. The highest increase in permeability and selectivity was related to the incorporation of S2 and AP-S2 into the PSf matrix, respectively.
Rapid incorporation of gold nanoparticles onto graphene oxide-polymer nanofiber membranes for photothermally-accelerated water purification

Published: December 2022

Abstract
This work demonstrates the rapid coating of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) onto electrospun composite polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers containing a large amount of graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) for photothermally-driven applications. A modification of GO with a cationic surfactant greatly improves its loading efficiency into the PAN nanofibers, and the subsequent hydrazine treatment readily converts the integrated GO into rGO. Rapid loading of AuNPs onto these membranes results in measurably higher photothermal heating characteristics than the pristine PAN, GO-PAN, and rGO-PAN membranes under a solar-simulated light source. The light-induced heating properties are then utilized in the removal of organic dyes in an aqueous solution. While the GO-PAN and rGO-PAN membranes remove the dyes via physical adsorption, the AuNP-loaded membranes show an additional catalytic decomposition process, resulting in detectably faster removal rates. The degradation of the organic dyes is accelerated under a solar simulated light source due to the light-enhanced heating and photocatalytic properties of the integrated AuNPs. The ability to maximize the dual properties of these membranes can greatly reduce toxic organic pollutants, which can lead to the development of practical water purification systems under sunlight irradiation.
Function of Excitatory Periaqueductal Gray Synapses in the Ventral Tegmental Area following Inflammatory Injury
Authors: Manning Claire Elena , Fritz Michael , Kauer Julie Ann 
Published: December 2022

AbstractManipulating the activity of ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine (DA) neurons can drive nocifensive reflexes, and their firing rates are reduced following noxious stimuli. However, the pain-relevant inputs to the VTA remain incompletely understood. In this study, we used male and female mice in combination with identified dopamine and GABA neurons in the VTA that receive excitatory inputs from the periaqueductal gray (PAG), a nexus of ascending pain information. We tested whether PAG–VTA synapses undergo functional plasticity in response to a pain model using optical stimulation in conjunction with slice electrophysiology. We found that acute carrageenan inflammation does not significantly affect the strength of excitatory PAG synapses onto VTA DA neurons. However, at the PAG synapses on VTA GABA neurons, the subunit composition of NMDA receptors is altered; the complement of NR2D subunits at synaptic sites appears to be lost. Thus, our data support a model in which injury initially alters synapses on VTA GABA neurons. Over time, these alterations may increase tonic inhibition of VTA DA neurons leading to their reduced firing.
Cervical Epidural Electrical Stimulation Increases Respiratory Activity through Somatostatin-Expressing Neurons in the Dorsal Cervical Spinal Cord in Rats

Published: December 2022

We tested the hypothesis that dorsal cervical epidural electrical stimulation (CEES) increases respiratory activity in male and female anesthetized rats. Respiratory frequency and minute ventilation were significantly increased when CEES was applied dorsally to the C2–C6 region of the cervical spinal cord. By injecting pseudorabies virus into the diaphragm and using c-Fos activity to identify neurons activated during CEES, we found neurons in the dorsal horn of the cervical spinal cord in which c-Fos and pseudorabies were co-localized, and these neurons expressed somatostatin (SST). Using dual viral infection to express the inhibitory Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs (DREADD), hM4D(Gi), selectively in SST-positive cells, we inhibited SST-expressing neurons by administering Clozapine N-oxide (CNO). During CNO-mediated inhibition of SST-expressing cervical spinal neurons, the respiratory excitation elicited by CEES was diminished. Thus, dorsal cervical epidural stimulation activated SST-expressing neurons in the cervical spinal cord, likely interneurons, that communicated with the respiratory pattern generating network to effect changes in ventilation.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTA network of pontomedullary neurons within the brainstem generates respiratory behaviors that are susceptible to modulation by a variety of inputs; spinal sensory and motor circuits modulate and adapt this output to meet the demands placed on the respiratory system. We explored dorsal cervical epidural electrical stimulation (CEES) excitation of spinal circuits to increase ventilation in rats. We identified dorsal somatostatin (SST)-expressing neurons in the cervical spinal cord that were activated (c-Fos-positive) by CEES. CEES no longer stimulated ventilation during inhibition of SST-expressing spinal neuronal activity, thereby demonstrating that spinal SST neurons participate in the activation of respiratory circuits affected by CEES. This work establishes a mechanistic foundation to repurpose a clinically accessible neuromodulatory therapy to activate respiratory circuits and stimulate ventilation.
Diabetes insipidus in a patient with PCOS treated with Depo-Provera
Authors: Martinez Amanda I , Mezitis Nicholas 
Published: December 2022

Summary
Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate, also known as Depo-Provera, is a progesterone-only contraceptive that is administered by injection to patients every three months. We describe the case of a 19-year-old female who was diagnosed with central diabetes insipidus following the administration of the contraceptive injection Depo-Provera. The patient was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome at age 16 and was originally prescribed oral contraceptives to restore menstrual regularity. Three years later, Depo-Provera was substituted for convenience, and symptoms of polyuria and polydipsia appeared one month after initiating the progesterone-only regimen. We are proposing that central diabetes insipidus may be a possible adverse effect of Depo-Provera in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome who receive the progesterone-only contraception, due to the interference of their arginine vasopressin mechanism through the alteration of estrogen levels. We review potential mechanisms through the presentation of previously completed research in polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Learning points

We propose that although rare, the decrease in estrogen that is experienced during the administration of Depo-Provera can interfere with arginine vasopressin release in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Increased awareness of possible lasting adverse effects on fluid balance with unopposed progesterone administration in PCOS is important, as this case of the development of diabetes insipidus suggests.

Discussion of such potential side effects is important when considering contraceptive options for the regulation of menses in patients with PCOS.
Uncertain future of transatlantic data flows: Will the United States ever achieve the ‘adequate level’ of data protection?
Authors: Alkiş-Tümtürk Asli 
Published: December 2022

AbstractPersonal data can be transferred to third countries without any additional measures by achieving the European Commission's adequacy decisions if the third country's data protection level is deemed essentially equal. Only a few countries have obtained this decision, and the United States is no longer one of them, since the European Court of Justice ruled in the Schrems II case that the Privacy Shield Decision could not provide ‘essentially equivalent’ protection for personal data to that provided by European Union legislation, and hence was invalid. This article will discuss what the term ‘essentially equivalent’ means and what it covers. Finally, it will examine and attempt to answer the question of whether the United States will ever reach the mentioned adequate level by comparing the examples of two adequate countries, the United Kingdom and Japan.

Evaluation of the Possible Effects of the European Green Deal Process on Agricultural Policies in Türkiye
Authors: ATASEVEN Yener 
Published: December 2022

The EU carries out some studies to ensure economic and social development and to find solutions to emerging problems both within its own borders and in relation to the countries with which it is in contact. The most important and recent of these policies is the European Green Deal, which deals with the agricultural sectorwhere the most important reflection of these is seen while struggling with global warming and climate change. This concept is on the agenda as the EU has made the Green Deal mandatory due to adverse conditions such as the effect of the pandemic, climate change, droughts.
One of the most important topics within the scope of the European Green Consensus is “From Farm to Fork”: for a fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food system”. Farm to Fork aims to make food systems fair, healthy and environmentally friendly. Considering its relations with the EU, Turkey has started to make arrangements in its own policies in line with this title. The fact that academic studies on the effects of the Deal on the agricultural sector are very limited and that the study is conducted to address this shortcoming is the main focus of the study.
This study has been prepared based on the literature. In terms of Turkey-EU agricultural policies, the obtained literatures were evaluated, interpreted and synthesized, taking into account the implications of the Deal. As a result of the study; it has been concluded that the Farm to Fork Strategy is at the heart of the European Green Deal, and Turkey has started to take measures to comply with the Deal.

Uplink Channel Allocation Scheme and QoS Management Mechanism for Cognitive Cellular-Femtocell Networks
Authors: Kien Nguyen Duc , Nam Nguyen Hoang , Morino Hiroaki , Sasase Iwao 
Published: December 2022

Cognitive radio and femtocell are promising technologies which can satisfy the requirements of future mobile communications in terms of dynamic spectrum sharing and high user density areas. Providing quality-of-service (QoS) guaranteed realtime services is challenging issue of future cognitive cellular-femtocell mobile networks. In this paper, we introduce a user’s QoS management mechanism used to protect SINR of macro users from QoS violation caused by femtocell users. We design a novel uplink channel allocation scheme (denoted as “flexible scheme”) for real-time connections. The scheme uses the information of interference level and channel occupancy collected at cognitive femtocell access points and their covering macro base station (MBS) and apply relevant selection criteria to select an appropriate channel which causes the minimums interference to macro users of the covering MBS. Performance results prove that comparing with femtocell-access-point (FAP)-based and MBS-based uplink channel allocation schemes, the novel “flexible scheme” can provide lower unsuccessful probability of new connection requests.
