Still no evidence for an effect of the proportion of non-native speakers on language complexity -- A response to Kauhanen, Einhaus & Walkden (2023)

description: In a recent paper published in the Journal of Language Evolution, Kauhanen, Einhaus & Walkden (https://doi.org/10.1093/jole/lzad005, KEW) challenge the results presented in one of my papers (Koplenig, Royal Society Open Science, 6, 181274 (2019), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.181274), in which I tried to show through a series of statistical analyses that large numbers of L2 (second language) speakers do not seem to affect the (grammatical or statistical) complexity of a language. To this end, I focus on the way in which the Ethnologue assesses language status: a language is characterised as vehicular if, in addition to being used by L1 (first language) speakers, it should also have a significant number of L2 users. KEW criticise both the use of vehicularity as a (binary) indicator of whether a language has a significant number of L2 users and the idea of imputing a zero proportion of L2 speakers to non-vehicular languages whenever a direct estimate of that proportion is unavailable. While I recognise the importance of post-publication commentary on published research, I show in this rejoinder that both points of criticism are explicitly mentioned and analysed in my paper. In addition, I also comment on other points raised by KEW and demonstrate that both alternative analyses offered by KEW do not stand up to closer scrutiny.

description: It is common folklore that semiclassical arguments suggest that in black hole evaporation an initially pure state can become mixed. This is known as the \emph{information loss puzzle} (or {\it paradox}). Here we argue that, if taken at face value, semiclassical gravity suggests the formation of a final singularity instead of information loss. A quantum strong cosmic censorship conjecture, for which we give a rigorous statement, supports this conclusion. Thus, there are no reasons to expect a failure of unitarity in black hole evaporation or for any quantum gravity theory that can `cure' singularities.

description: To evaluate client satisfaction with prosthetic and orthotic services in Sweden, determine if satisfaction differs between clients using different devices and identify factors which influence client satisfaction. A cross-sectional design was used to survey 7318 clients. The survey included items related to demographics, quality of life, device comfort, device use, the extent to which clients’ needs were met and satisfaction with services. Ethics approval was provided by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority. A total of 2925 surveys were returned reflecting a response rate of 41%. Mean OPUS-CSS point score was 61.9(SD 16.8) with differences observed between device categories (p < 0.001). Factors that were identified as most positively influencing client satisfaction were, being a limb prosthesis user and being under 65 years. When analysing scores for individual OPUS items breast prosthesis users scored higher than users of other devices. Clients were most satisfied with the level of respect they were shown by staff (mean = 2.72/3) and less satisfied with coordination of services with other therapists/doctors(mean = 1.88/3). Prosthetic and orthotic users are reasonably satisfied with the services they receive. Attention should be directed towards understanding why prosthetic users are more satisfied than orthotic users and why clients under 65 years report higher satisfaction scores. Prosthetic and orthotic clients are generally satisfied with prosthetic and orthotic service delivery.Users of prosthetic limbs are more satisfied than orthosis users.Quality improvement initiatives should prioritise clinicians’ clinical communication skills.Issues related to coordination of treatment within multidisciplinary teams need to be addressed.

description: To develop and assess the validity of a simple and potentially useful tool with measures to enhance adherence to exercise programs to be used by researchers and exercise professionals when designing exercise interventions in people with long-term health conditions and older adults. Based on a previous umbrella review, a checklist with key aspects for adherence to physical exercise named Promoting Adherence to Physical Exercise (PADEX) was created in Spanish. Subsequently, an evaluation of the comprehensibility, relevance, and applicability using a quantitative [0–10 points] and qualitative approach was performed by a panel of 31 independent experts. Furthermore, 20 breast cancer women who had been exercise users for at least 4 months evaluated the relevance of each item. Mean and median scores were higher than 8 for all items in comprehensibility, relevance, and applicability. The final version of PADEX includes 23 items about the exercise program to be answered by the exercise professional who designs it or conducts it. The PADEX scale showed adequate face, content and construct validity. This checklist is a potentially useful tool for enhancing adherence to exercise programs in people with long-term health conditions and older adults. The Promoting Adherence to Physical Exercise (PADEX) checklist is an easy-to-use and useful tool to promote adherence to physical exercise. The PADEX checklist is based on the key factors for adherence identified in a previous comprehensive umbrella review. The PADEX checklist has good-excellent comprehensibility, relevance, and applicability scores according to experts in the field. The final version includes 23 items with adequate feasibility and validity (face, content and construct validities).

description: This is an invited contribution to the 2nd edition of the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics. We review the following algebraic structures which appear in two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT):
 The symmetries of two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) can be formalised as chiral algebras, vertex operator algebras or nets of observable algebras. Their representation categories are abelian categories having additional structures, which are induced by properties of conformal blocks, i.e. of vector bundles over the moduli space of curves with marked points, which can be constructed from the symmetry structure.
 These mathematical notions pertain to the description of chiral CFTs. In a full local CFT one deals in addition with correlators, which are specific elements in the spaces of conformal blocks. In fact, a full CFT is the same as a consistent system of correlators for arbitrary conformal surfaces with any number and type of field insertions in the bulk as well as on boundaries and on topological defect lines. We present algebraic structures that allow one to construct such systems of correlators.

Agallia longistilata Coelho & Dutra, 1992
Agallia longistilata is herein transferred to Chromagallia due to its resemblance to the type-species, C. flavofasciata. These two species share a conspicuous color pattern, with ground color mostly dark-brown to black with yellow maculae on the head and forewings (Figs 4–6). Furthermore, their male genitalia are quite similar. The general shapes of their pygofer (Fig. 35), aedeagus (Figs 38–40) and processes of abdominal segment X (Fig. 35) are very much alike, clearly supporting the inclusion of A. longistilata in Chromagallia. The species, previously known from Rio de Janeiro State (Coelho & Dutra 1992), is newly recorded from Paraná State, southern Brazil.
Material examined. Holotype, male from Brazil, Rio de Janeiro State, “Itatiaia. Est. do Rio [de Janeiro], Brasil \ (L 41, 1300 m.) Trav. &\ H. Trav. 6/10-12-950” (MNRJ).

description: To perform a process evaluation of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating a manualized intervention aiming to ameliorate long-term symptoms of traumatic brain injury (TBI) by assessing implementation fidelity, delivery context and acceptability of the intervention. Data from 60 participants were collected during recruitment, intervention delivery and outcome data collection in the RCT. Enrollment records, logs and checklists documented the delivery of the intervention (implementation fidelity) and the collaboration with family members and outside collaborators (delivery context). Attendance-rate, self-reported acceptability and willingness to participate in future studies were used to assess the acceptability of the intervention. The main elements and dose of the intervention were delivered as intended with an excellent adherence to the manual items. Family members co-participated in the intervention for 39 (65%) of the participants. Outside collaborators were contacted for 32 (53%) of the participants. Acceptability scores were high for participants, family members and therapists. The intervention was successfully delivered with high acceptability. This process evaluation informs researchers, clinicians and stakeholders about important factors influencing the outcomes of the intervention that should be considered in clinical implementation of rehabilitation interventions. Pre-registered 4th of June 2018 at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03545594).

(Rhop. Pal., p. 132; also cited as a “forme” both on this same page and on Pl. XXX, Fig. 9) LT: Asia Minor: Fanaraki, and [Spain]: Andalusia: Malaga (TD: MZUF, Syntypes 2 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀: Kudrna 1983).
This taxon was listed as a synonym of either Pontia edusa (e.g. Hesselbarth et al. 1995, 1: 426) or of P. daplidice (García-Barros et al. 2013, p. 960), respectively for the fauna of Turkey and for that of Spain. Kudrna (1983: 58), Wagener (1988: 35) and Hesselbarth et al. (1995: 426) regarded “nitida” Verity, 1908 as an unavailable infrasubspecific name. However, Art. 45.6.4 states that [the rank denoted by a species-group name following a binomen] “is subspecific if first published before 1961 and its author expressly used one of the terms “variety” or “form” …, unless its author also expressly gave it infrasubspecific rank, or the content of the work unambiguously reveals that the name was proposed for an infrasubspecific entity …”. Verity wrote: “[dans les régions] qui semblent être surtout les plus arides (telles que l’Espagne, l’Algérie et l’Asie Mineure) [Pieris daplidice] semble avoir une tendance à être plus petit, à avoir les ailes plus larges, le limbe externe plus convexe, les dessins d’un noir plus profond et à contours plus arrêtés …”. The name Pieris daplidice race nitida Verity, 1908 is therefore available.
The originally designated syntypes probably belong to two separate species, but no lectotype was validly designated by any of the preceding authors under Art. 74. Both Pontia daplidice and P. edusa may possibly co-occur in parts of Turkey (see Geiger et al. 1988, Hesselbarth et al. 1995 and John et al. 2013), while only P. daplidice is known to occur in Spain.
We therefore designate the ♂ Syntype in MZUF from: [Spanien]: Andalusien: Malaga, C. Ribbe [legit], as Lec- totype of Pieris daplidice race nitida Verity, 1908 (see Fig. 1A). Consequently, the latter name becomes fixed as a junior subjective synonym of Papilio daplidice Linnaeus, 1758.

description: Genus Euchloe Hübner, [1819]
Three, basically parapatric, species of ‘dappled whites’ (genus Euchloe) are unanimously recognised to occur in Europe, viz. 1) the eastern dappled white, 2) the mountain dappled white, and 3) the western dappled white. By common consensus, the names [Papilio] ausonia (Hübner, [1804]), Pontia simplonia Freyer, 1829 and Euchloe crameri Butler, 1869, in the same order, have slowly become fixed to identify them (Bernardi 1945, 1947, Tolman & Lewington 1997, Tshikolovets 2011, Wiemers et al. 2018, etc.).
Each of these names is riddled with interpretational and nomenclatural problems principally deriving from mismatches between characters shown by the illustrated type materials and their stated type localities. As required by Art. 75.3.1 (ICZN 1999 and later updates), these problems will be resolved by designating two lectotypes and two neotypes.

(Fig. 1 B)
New localities. The “Lommelse Sahara”, Lommel, Belgium (51°14’48”N; 5°17’46”E), moss in a pine forest (23 July 2008)
Known distribution. Fosso Contesora, Italy, found on mosses on the banks of a helocrene spring (Kolasa, 1981).
Material. A horizontally-sectioned and three sagittally-sectioned specimens from Lommel (UH nrs. VI.4.09– VI.4.12).
Descriptive notes and remarks. The studied specimens have the same habitus and internal organization as Adenoplea meridionalis Kolasa, 1981, at least as far as could be judged from the description and drawings of Kolasa (1981). Animals about 1 mm long. Rostrally, two groups of adenal rhabdites are present. Protonephridiopores open in the mouth pouch. The rosulate pharynx lies just caudally from the body’s midpoint.
The gonopore (Fig. 1 B: gp) is situated at ±80 % of the body and opens into a genital atrium (Fig. 1 B: ga), which is lined with a high epithelium and is surrounded with muscles. Testes were not observed. The paired vasa deferentia (Fig. 1 B: vde) unite before entering the 35-µm-long copulatory organ. This organ contains an intracapsular seminal vesicle (Fig. 1 B: vs), a muscular, sclerotized ejaculatory duct (Fig. 1 B: de) and extracapsular (Fig. 1 B: gg1) as well as intracapsular (Fig. 1 B: gg2) basophilic prostate glands. It is entirely surrounded by two layers of strong spiral muscles (Fig. 1 B: mu). The thin-walled male duct is very short and is surrounded by a thin muscle layer. The copulatory bursa (Fig. 1 B: bu) opens directly in the genital atrium.
The vitellaria (Fig. 1 B: vi) extend from the middle of the body to the posterior end, where they fuse. Coarsegrained, eosinophilic female glands (Fig. 1 B: fg) open into the long female duct (Fig. 1 B: fd), which proximally receives the oviduct (Fig. 1 B: od), the seminal receptacle (Fig. 1 B: rs) and the unpaired vitelloduct.
Discussion. See the discussion following the descriptive notes and remarks on Adenoplea perigraptopera.

Brain-inspired spiking neural network for gas-based navigation
Creators: name: Miko, Rebecca

Publisher: name: University of Hertfordshire
Year: 2019

description: The project aims to contribute towards solving gas-based navigation in robotics, using neural networks and processes similar to those found in mammalian brains. Odour stimuli in natural environments have a rich temporal structure that is caused by turbulent gas dispersion. It has been demonstrated that this structure contains information about the olfactory scene, for example the distance to an odour source [1,2]. Furthermore, it has been suggested that animals might exploit this structure and extract this information in order to locate odour sources [3]. Some of this information may lie in the frequency content of the stimuli [2].

 We analysed signals from data [4] which was collected in a wind tunnel using electronic gas sensors. The signal varies due to turbulence-induced fluctuations of gas concentration (Fig.1, bottom panel). Source distance can be estimated from the number of “bouts” in the signal. A bout is a consistent change in the measured signal, for example a period where the concentration is constantly rising. The number of detected bouts increases with increasing source proximity [2].

 We employ an event-based signal encoding paradigm that mimics the brains mode of computation, where neurons communicate via timed events, called spikes. To generate spikes from the gas signal, we first define a set of amplitude thresholds. A spike is generated each time the signal crosses a threshold. We used several sets of slightly different thresholds to create an asynchronous population code of spikes (Fig.1, upper panel). Asynchronous population codes are preferred because synchronous spiking could overload the connections between neurons. The “ON spikes” refers to bouts where the signal has increased and the “OFF spikes” are bouts where the signal decreased. The ON spike trains will be fed into a network of Izhikevich neurons as input.

 The goal is to create networks that react to bouts of a certain size, providing a “filter bank” of bout detectors. Future work will then explore how we can use this filter bank to infer gas source proximity and guide odour-based navigation.

description: Integration is a concept that seeks to strengthen the delivery of services to ensure people receive a continuum of care across the health system. We conducted a scoping review to explore how rehabilitation services have been integrated into health systems in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs). We conducted a scoping review using Valentijn’s Rainbow Model of Integrated Care (RMIC) as an organising framework. The key enablers of integration of rehabilitation were extracted, charted and summarised according to the RMIC framework. Of 4667 articles identified, 44 met inclusion criteria. Most studies focused on rehabilitation within secondary and tertiary level facilities, and described service models incorporating clinical, professional and functional integration characteristics. The geographical and clinical scope of rehabilitation models that demonstrate elements of integration from LMICs is limited. The key enablers identified highlight the important role of responsive multidisciplinary care plans, and interdisciplinary guidelines, protocols and interprofessional education to support an integrated rehabilitation service model in LMICs. There is little published information about integrating rehabilitation into primary care in LMICs.Organizational integration of rehabilitation in LMIC health systems appears poor, at least in part due to dependence on non-state actors for service delivery.Multidisciplinary care plans, guidelines, protocols and interprofessional education are key enablers of integrated rehabilitation service models.Integration can be defined and strengthened but evidence about how collaboration and integration can be achieved in varied local contexts is lacking.

description: The quantum phase transition of the one-dimensional long-range transverse-field Ising model is explored by combining the quantum Monte Carlo method and stochastic parameter optimization, specifically achieved by tuning correlation ratios so that space and imaginary time are isotropic. In our simulations, the simulator automatically determines the parameters to sample from, even without prior knowledge of the critical point and universality class. The leading-order finite-size corrections are eliminated by comparing two systems with different sizes; this procedure is also performed automatically. Varying the decay exponent of the long-range interaction, $σ$, we investigate $σ$-dependence of the dynamical exponent and the other critical exponents precisely in the mean-field, non-universal, and two-dimensional classical Ising universality regimes. We successfully obtained numerical evidence supporting $σ= 7/4$ as the universality boundary between the latter two.
