A Cognitive Linguistic Study of Silence/Pause-Based Incongruities in Selected Instances from Mind Your Language's Sitcom Series

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The present research aims at: First, to examine the reasons behind using silence/pause-based unintentional incongruities in selected instances from the British Sitcom Mind Your Language; second, to explore specifically the types of silence/pause-based unintentional incongruities and the different facial gestures that accompany each of these types. To meet these two objectives, the analysis will be theoretically and conceptually-based, respectively. Conclusions, as far as the first objective is concerned, have shown that silence can be used to reflect: the sense of being inattentive; lack of understanding; being unfamiliar with what one hears; the time needed for thinking and associating, and the act of hiding one's nervousness, etc. As for pause, it is used for reflecting the sense of being confused; indicating that there is an interrupting event; and giving time to oneself to comprehend, re-consider, and correct what one has said, etc. As for the second objective, it has been concluded that silence appears to have the four categories cited by Kostiuk (2012); these included the structural, reflexive, tactical, and ignorant types of silence. Pauses, on the other hand, have only three categories: tactical, structural, and reflexive. Speaking of the reactions and facial expressions that accompany silence when encountering unintentionally incongruous events, they include the following: closing one's eyes, and feeling amazed, proud, shocked, and speechless, etc. whereas those that accompany pause are: feeling confused, asking a question for clarification, and opening one's mouth, etc.
Categorical Moral Requirements

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper defends the doctrine that moral requirements are categorical in nature. My point of departure is John McDowell’s 1978 essay, “Are Moral Requirements Hypothetical Imperatives?”, in which McDowell argues, against Philippa Foot, that moral reasons are not conditional upon agents’ desires and are, in a certain sense, inescapable. After expounding McDowell’s view, exploring his idea that moral requirements “silence” other considerations and discussing its particularist ethos, I address an objection that moral reasons, as McDowell conceives them, are fundamentally incomplete in ways only a full-bloodedly Kantian appeal to pure practical reason can remedy. I conclude that the objection fails: ordinary moral reasons do not stand in need of a grounding in Reason. There is no prospect of deriving them from a supreme principle of morality or other canons of rationality. Ordinary reasons are sufficient in themselves, though their significance can be elucidated and illuminated by various strategies — some broadly Aristotelian, some drawing inspiration from Kant’s formula of humanity — in ways that can strengthen and vindicate them. Notwithstanding the failure of the objection, I conclude by reflecting on how Kantian insights can yet play a significant role in a McDowellian view of moral deliberation and moral education.
Reconfigurable MIMO Antenna for Wireless Communication Based on Arduino Microcontroller

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Wireless communication is common use on devices to send or exchange information such computer peripheral, mobile device, home appliances, etc. Every device embedded with wireless module and contribute electromagnetic, thus high possibility of occurring interference. One of method how to control interference is by controlling signal to transmit as well as power, thus in this research designed reconfigurable MIMO antenna to control antenna radiation pattern to reduce interference issue in wireless communication. The antenna designed in 2.4 GHz band because most and common use of devices peripheral using unlicensed band as well as for Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi). The designed antenna is 4×4 MIMO which operate at 2.4 and 2.6 GHz for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and Long Term Evolution (LTE). The system radiation pattern is configured using an Arduino Microcontroller to driven PIN diode to switch he beam. Simulations and measurements are in good agreement with the configuration of the single antenna and 2×2 and 4×4 MIMO. The antenna is operational between 2.387 and 2.628 GHz, whereas the simulated and measured reflection coefficients are obtaining at least -24.3 dB. The MIMO antenna designed to improve data communication, especially in mobile communication systems.
Management of smoking dependence

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

SUMMARY Several studies show that more than 60 to 70% of smokers want to stop smoking. The main difficulty in smoking weaning is usually important and is related to a physical and psychological smoking dependence. Smoking is considered as a chronic disease that often requires support in the long term, both pharmacological and psychological management. Smoker's motivation is a key element to start smoking weaning and to maintain it. In the first time, the management of smoking dependence is conducted by primary care doctors or by all specialized doctors graduated in this field. In case of difficulty, a recover by specialized physicians implicating in this management is desirable. The organizing of Tobacology Coordination Unit (TCU) in hospitals is also necessary. The physicians of TCU treat hospitalized patients and who are presents in consultation department. For a pragmatic point of view, it is necessary to establish a hierarchy of objectives: total stop smoking is both initial and final objective of the management of cigarette smoking weaning in smoker. The reduction of tobacco consumption in patients who do not want and / or can not quit smoking despite well conducted weaning attempts, should be considered as an intermediate step towards a definitive smoking weaning.
PTU-066 A Model To Assess The Cost Of Flare In Ulcerative Colitis (uc) To The Nhs

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Introduction Disease flare in ulcerative colitis (UC) can result in substantial cost implications to the NHS. While the costs associated with treatment and management of UC are well-documented, estimates of the cost of flare are lacking. A cost analysis was performed to construct a model to estimate the costs associated with managing a flare across variable pathways. Methods A decision tree model was developed in Excel to estimate the direct medical costs of flares of various clinical severity. Within the model, the baseline UC patient cohort was maintained on Asacol ® (mesalazine) at a maximum dose of 2.4 g/day. Simplified care pathways were mapped, assuming that patients would either be treated and managed in primary care, or as an outpatient, or admitted to hospital. Taking a conservative approach, costs for surgery and other procedures e.g., stoma care were excluded as these outcomes are rare and inclusion would significantly increase average flare cost estimates. Treatment and management strategies were based on best practice guidelines, published data sources and clinical expert opinion. Drug costs were calculated using the British National Formulary (BNF) and healthcare management costs were based on published unit costs. The relative proportions of patients likely to follow each route of the treatment pathway were estimated and weightings were applied to enable calculation of an average cost of flare. Results The estimated annual cost to manage a patient with UC in remission was £955. The estimated cost to control a flare in primary care was £175 and for secondary care outpatient management was £578. For secondary care inpatient management, the estimated cost was £3488. If a biologic/ciclosporin was needed, the estimated cost rose to £4272. All costs were inclusive of clinical investigations and treatment reviews. The proportions of patients managed via each pathway were applied to calculations resulting in an estimated average cost of flare of £984. Conclusion A model was developed, based on simplified decision tree pathways to enable estimation of the cost of flare in UC. Depending on the severity of the flare episode, costs ranged from £175 to £4272. In the future, this model can be used for economic evaluations of interventions to reduce the risk of flare in UC and to help understand the costly aspects of managing ulcerative colitis.

Color Image Segmentation in Visual Prostheses

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The area of visual prosthesis by electrically stimulating the neural tissue of the blind person is more and more attractive with the development of electrode array and biological technology. Processing the images captured by the camera is the first step in the whole project. We use a new algorithm to get the accurate edge of color images. The result is better than that obtained through some edge operators like Canny, Soble. Then, we use simple methods to segment the image into regions that are based on gray level images of objects we are most interested in. Finally, we integrate the results from the two steps above. These methods are simple and have low computational complexity that can be used in real time process and in the volume-limited chip. The result is good in visual prostheses and also adapt to pixelized vision in later steps.
Some personal observations of SALT, Suggestopedia and other accelerative learning methods in Japan and Europe

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

During the last six months of 1984, the author of this paper travelled to Japan and to several Western European countries, investigating Suggestopedia and other accelerative learning methods. The original suggestopedic method as developed by Dr Georgi Lozanov has undergone many changes and adaptations to suit the cultural and political situation of individual countries. This article gives an overview of the changes and adaptations made by the different countries as well as an evaluation of the amount of success with which a given country has adapted Suggestology to suit its own particular needs and circumstances. Gedurende die tweede helfte van 1984 het die skrywer van hierdie artikel na Japan, sowel as na verskeie Wes-Europese Jande gereis met die doel om ondersoek in te stel na Suggestopedagogiek en ander versnellingsmetodes in die onderwys. Die oorspronklike suggestopediese metode soos ontwikkel deur Dr Georgi Lozanov, het baie veranderinge ondergaan en is aangepas om in te skakel by die kulturele en politieke omstandighede van die onderhawige lande. Met hierdie artikel word 'n oorsig gegee oor die veranderings; die aanpassings word bespreek en die skrywer gee 'n evaluering van die mate van sukses wat daarmee behaal is.

Effectiveness of Adjunctive Hyaluronic Acid Application in Surgical Treatment of Gingival Recession Sites

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

The aim of this systematic scoping review was to provide scientific evidence on the efficacy and methods of application of hyaluronic acid (HA) in the coverage of gingival recessions in terms of recession depth (RD) reduction, clinical attachment level (CAL) gain and probing depth (PD). An electronic search of the literature on the main databases was conducted. Initially, 405 articles were identified. Finally, four studies were included after the review process. It was not possible to perform a meta-analysis of the articles selected because of the differences among the surgical treatments and commercial formulations and compositions of HA. Both randomized controlled trials in this research examined type 1 gingival recessions treated with a coronally advanced flap. In the selected case series, recessions were treated with either a modified coronally advanced tunnel or laterally closed tunnel combined with a subepithelial connective tissue graft and HA. No significant variation was found in terms of PD. Modifications of CAL are connected to variations of RD; however, RD reduction is similar to the control group. HA seems to improve the clinical outcomes of gingival recession coverage in the short term, but the magnitude is limited. Formulations, surgical techniques and application methods are heterogeneous.
VP45.34: Knowledge, attitudes, practices and influencing factors of anxiety among pregnant women in Wuhan during the outbreak of COVID‐19

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Our study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of pregnant women in Wuhan, investigate the status of anxiety and assess influencing factors during the outbreak of COVID-19. We recruited 817 participants from two maternity hospitals in Wuhan, which are respectively in Jiangan (urban) and Jiangxia (suburban) district. All participants completed a structured questionnaire include sociodemographic and clinical characteristic, KAP, Zung self-rating anxiety scale (SAS). The mean score of knowledge was 13.15 ± 1.10. The prevalence of prenatal anxiety was 20.81%. Having kids, low score of knowledge, very worried about getting contacted with COVID-19, worried about getting contacted with COVID-19 by ultrasound transducer were risk factors for the prenatal anxiety, trust in official media, postponed antenatal care (ANC) or reduced the visiting times were protective factors. Prenatal anxiety was relative common among pregnant women in Wuhan during the outbreak of COVID-19, Our findings recognised factors associated with a lower level of prenatal anxiety that can be used to design psychological interventions to improve the mental health of pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Enhanced internal second harmonic generation in InGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs strained single-quantum-well buried-heterostructure laser diodes

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

In this paper we report an indirect method based on photomultiplier response calibration to measure the radiant power of the internal second harmonic generation (ISHG) from InGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs strained single quantum well buried heterostructure laser diodes. We observed enhanced ISHG radiant power, of the order of magnitude of 10-8 W. This phenomenon represents a signature of the beginning of the process of catastrophic optical degradation of the LD mirror facet layers, where the nonlinear optical interaction occurs.
Essential Oil from Bark of Aniba parviflora (Meisn.) Mez (Lauraceae) Reduces HepG2 Cell Proliferation and Inhibits Tumor Development in a Xenograft Model

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract Aniba parviflora ( Meisn .) Mez (Lauraceae) is an aromatic plant of the Amazon rainforest, which has a tremendous commercial value in the perfumery industry; it is popularly used as flavoring sachets and aromatic baths. In Brazilian folk medicine, A. parviflora is used to treat victims of snakebites. Herein, we analyzed the chemical composition of A. parviflora bark essential oil (EO) and its effect on the growth of human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells in vitro and in vivo . EO was obtained by hydrodistillation and characterized by GC‐MS and GC‐FID. The main constituents of EO were linalool (16.3±3.15), α ‐humulene (14.5±2.41 %), δ ‐cadinene (10.2±1.09 %), α ‐copaene (9.51±1.12 %) and germacrene B (7.58±2.15 %). Initially, EO's cytotoxic effect was evaluated against five cancer cell lines (HepG2, MCF‐7, HCT116, HL‐60 and B16‐F10) and one non‐cancerous one (MRC‐5), using the Alamar blue method after 72 h of treatment. The calculated IC 50 values were 9.05, 22.04, >50, 15.36, 17.57, and 30.46 μg/mL, respectively. The best selectivity was for HepG2 cells with a selective index of 3.4. DNA Fragmentation and cell cycle distribution were quantified in HepG2 cells by flow cytometry after a treatment period of 24 and 48 h. The effect of EO on tumor development in vivo was evaluated in a xenograft model using C.B‐17 SCID mice engrafted with HepG2 cells. In vivo tumor growth inhibition of HepG2 xenograft at the doses of 40 and 80 mg/kg were 12.1 and 62.4 %, respectively.
Effects of organic fertilizer application on silage quality of forage sorghum

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A field experiment was designed to determine the effect of organic fertilizer application on silage quality of forage sorghum(Sorghum bicolor).The results showed that under the same nitrogen application amount,as organic fertilizer addition increasing,the fermentation quality of silage decreased after initial increase,the best fermentation quality was obtained at the organic fertilizer rates of 75 t/ha and 150 t/ha.Meanwhile,the contents of acid detergent fiber and neutral detergent fiber increased,while the content of crude protein and in vitro dry matter digestibility decreased with increasing organic fertilizer addition.In order to obtain both good fermentation quality and feeding value of silage,application of 75-150 t/ha organic fertilizer as the base fertilizer is suitable in forage sorghum growing for silage.

Cascading Failures in Networks with Proximate Dependent Nodes

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We study the mutual percolation of a system composed of two interdependent random regular networks. We introduce a notion of distance to explore the effects of the proximity of interdependent nodes on the cascade of failures after an initial attack. We find a non-trivial relation between the nature of the transition through which the networks disintegrate and the parameters of the system, which are the degree of the nodes and the maximum distance between interdependent nodes. We explain this relation by solving the problem analytically for the relevant set of cases.
RraR: Robust Recommendation Aggregation using Retraining in Internet of Things

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Trust and Reputation Systems (TRS) have been witnessing the most promising solutions to ensure the security of a system in the presence of insider adversaries. The methodology behind TRS is to analyze the behavior of entities in the system to compute trustworthiness on them by the mean of direct (using own experience) and indirect (using recommendations from the others) trust computation. For the Internet of Things (IoT), where devices collaborate with each other to offer multiple services, TRS solve the issues of access control, decision making, reliable service delivery etc. The focus of this paper is towards robust indirect trust computation in a service-oriented, dynamic IoT environment. We propose a robust recommendation aggregation scheme which alleviates the effect of false or dishonest recommendations in indirect trust computation by performing the objective and subjective evaluation. In the objective evaluation, the value of a received recommendation is weighted by computing deviation from the average value of all the recommendation received. Subjective evaluation is performed to weight the recommender based on their age of interaction. The scheme deploys a retraining module which retrains the credibility of a recommender based on the dissimilarity experienced with the outcome of recommendation. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme has been demonstrated by the results of the simulation.
Three Monumental Gardens on the Marble Plan

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Representations of the Forum of Peace, the Claudianum and the Adonaea on the Severan Marble Plan of the city of Rome are examined for evidence of large, formally planted gardens. The markings in the courtyards of each of these monuments on the Plan are interpreted and reconstructions of their gardens are attempted on the basis of our knowledge of Roman gardens in general and from the evidence of pictured representations and archaeological remains in particular. In the case of the Adonaea a complete reconstruction of the entire complex is essayed not only from the markings on the Plan and supporting archaeological parallels, but from a consideration of the use of the "building" as a shrine of Adonis and from what pertinently can be gleaned from ancient literary sources about the nature of this worship. Concluded is the fact that monumental gardens were a common feature of the public buildings of ancient Rome and that in each case their planting was not casual, but carefully a part of the overall architectural design.
How can i help you?

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Digital games have become very popular and yet there is little study on how gamers learn a game. In this paper, we present a preliminary study in this matter, conducted by means of a survey to investigate gamers' preferences and strategies while playing and learning a game. Participants were also asked about the importance of help systems in games and whether they contribute in the learning process. As results, we observed that help is in fact important, that the ideal kind of help depends on the type of game, and that help must not compromise the gameplay or the fun.
