LEXICAL CONVERGENCE AND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In this study we want to investigate the role of lexical repetitions (ie &quot;inter-speaker &quot; repetitions) in conversation between second language learners and target language speakers. our interest mainly focuses on how lexical repetitions can potentially be part of the language acquisition process. For example, we want to find out whether language learners use lexical repetitions more than native language speakers in similar types of conversation and if target language speakers use more lexical repetitions when talking to language learners than to other native speakers. We also want to compare the amount of lexical repetitions produced by language learners with two different native languages and different cultural background (Finnish and Latin-American Spanish speaking) and by native speakers talking to these language learners. In addition to this, we want to see what possible functions of lexical repetitions are found in spoken interaction learner- target language speaker (TLS). The study is, thus, concerned with: a) thefrequency of lexical repetitions produced by the language learner and the target language speaker b) the possible/probable functions of learner and TLS repetitions in context C) the possible relation between the function and frequency of lexical repetitions and the language acquisition process. 2. Background 2.1. Convergence The fact that the linguistic expressions of most speakers in most types of spoken interaction show a good deal of similarity has been attested in several
3D LiDAR and Photogrammetry Scans of a Stilt House in Tai O Village - 2022 - Case 069817

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

This data includes a point cloud file from a combined photogrammetric and LiDAR scan of a stilt house in Tai O Village. The house is designated "Case 069817" in the research project record. Researchers collected the scan using a single, approximately 10 minute walk-through of the house with the Leica-brand BLK2Go model 3D environment scanner. The scan describes the interior and partial exterior of a stilt house in high detail and color. The scan has been decimated to a voxel size of 5 mm to reduce file size. The data provides clear enough rendering of the physical conditions of the house to allow interpretation of the scan into description of the house's construction, contents, and spatial use. The data is available under embargo of one year to protect the personal information of residents of the house, provided for purposes of digital conservation of the building, and for interpretation of the house's physical conditions and interior contents through further research. More detailed information on the dataset, including the date the scan was conducted, the location of the house, and related interview and survey datasets are available upon reviewed request.
Fuel Consumption and Emission Reduction of a Small Two-Stroke Engine Through Air-Assisted Fuel Injection and Delayed-Charging

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">The classical small two-stroke engine is mechanically simple with a high power-to-weight ratio. But direct fuel losses are high and therefore induce a high fuel consumption and an unacceptable pollution level. We have developed a simple device (named Delayed-Charging) which is able to largely reduce fuel losses by almost separating the scavenging and fuel-charging functions and, consequently, retaining the major part of delivered fuel in the cylinder. Recent improvements, by use of an air-assisted injection combined with an air curtain to deviate the fuel spray trajectory throughout the cylinder, lead to a further reduction of hydrocarbon emission level from 4% (FIDHC methane equivalent) in a standard carbureted engine down to a 1% level associated to a fuel consumption reduction within a larger speed range in our newly modified 50 cc engine.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">To better understand the behavior of the fuel flow, a local instantaneous fuel-concentration measurement in the exhaust duct by a continuous Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) process (with a Argon Laser beam) is associated to the continuous mean measurement of HC emission, giving information on the fuel transport and utilization throughout the engine.</div>
Why Unidimensional Pain Measurement Prevails in the Pediatric Acute Pain Context and What Multidimensional Self-Report Methods Can Offer

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Although pain is widely recognized to be a multidimensional experience and defined as such, unidimensional pain measurement focusing on pain intensity prevails in the pediatric acute pain context. Unidimensional assessments fail to provide a comprehensive picture of a child’s pain experience and commonly do little to shape clinical interventions. The current review paper overviews the theoretical and empirical literature supporting the multidimensional nature of pediatric acute pain. Literature reporting concordance data for children’s self-reported sensory, affective and evaluative pain scores in the acute pain context has been reviewed and supports the distinct nature of these dimensions. Multidimensional acute pain measurement holds particular promise for identifying predictive markers of chronicity and may provide the basis for tailoring clinical management. The current paper has described key reasons contributing to the widespread use of unidimensional, rather than multidimensional, acute pediatric pain assessment protocols. Implications for clinical practice, education and future research are considered.
Abstract 53: Body Mass Index Is A Predictor Of Mortality And Adverse Cardiorespiratory Outcomes In Patients Hospitalized For SARS-COV-2 Infection

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the association of body mass index (BMI) with in-hospital mortality and cardiorespiratory outcomes in patients admitted with COVID-19 infection. Methods: This data was collected from an academic tertiary referral center in upstate New York. Retrospective cohort analysis was conducted on patients admitted with COVID-19 infection (n=194). BMI was calculated and patients were stratified into two categories: ‘healthy’ (BMI=18.5-24.5) and ‘overweight’ (BMI>25). Cardiorespiratory outcomes were classified as in-hospital mortality, need for vasopressors, mechanical ventilation, and hemodialysis. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed to evaluate for left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, right ventricular (RV) systolic function and RV dilation. Cardiovascular (CV) risk factors such as history of COPD, Diabetes, HTN, CAD and cigarette smoking were analyzed. LDH, troponin, CRP and ferritin levels were also noted. Results: Out of 194 patients, 68% were overweight with a mean BMI of 29.8 +/- 9.5 kg/m2 and a mean age of 66 +/- 16, 75% of females and 63% of males were overweight. Mortality rate was 31% in overweight patients compared to 17% in healthy subset (p<0.04). The rate of need for mechanical ventilation was higher in overweight group as well (34% vs. 17%, p<0.02). There was no significant difference between the cohorts in terms of vasopressor and hemodialysis requirement (p=0.09 and 0.2 respectively). RV systolic function was depressed in 21% of overweight cohort vs. 8% of healthy patients (p<0.02) while RV dilatation was seen in 15% of overweight patients compared with 5% of healthy patients (p<0.03). There was no significant difference in LV ejection fraction between the groups. LDH was more frequently elevated in overweight cohort with a mean level of 346 +/- 185 IU/L (p<0.01). No significant difference in rest of the laboratory analysis or CV risk factors were found. Conclusion: Elevated BMI (>25) is associated with a statistically significant increase in in-hospital mortality, need for mechanical ventilation, right ventricular abnormalities, and LDH levels in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 infection.
Goodpasture's Syndrome Associated with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A 73-year-old woman who had a history of primary biliary cirrhosis developed rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and pulmonary-renal syndrome. She was found to have anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA). She also had weak anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibody. She was treated with methylprednisolone pulse therapy, but died of respiratory failure. On postmortem examination, both lungs showed diffuse hemorrhage and the immunofluorescence study of the kidney revealed linear immunoglobulin G (IgG) deposition along the glomerular basement membrane.
Constrictive pericarditis.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Etiology of constrictive pericarditis is diversified. In recent years the role of viral and iatrogenic factors (X-ray therapy, cardiac surgery) has increased. Clinical manifestations, including subjective complaints, resemble those in congestive heart failure although the mechanism of hemodynamic disorders is different--namely impairment of ventricular filling and diastolic performance. One encounters major difficulties while differentiating constrictive pericarditis from restrictive cardiomyopathy. In some patients conservative treatment is effective, in a majority of them surgical operation, pericardiectomy is the treatment of choice.
Sucrose Synthetase in the Latex ofHevea brasiliensisMuell. Arg

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Sucrose synthetase (EC 2.4.1.13) was found in the latex of the rubber tree but the activity of sucrose phosphate synthetase (EC 2.4.1.14) was not detected. The enzyme was purified and some properties have been investigated. Examination of the kinetics of sucrose synthesis revealed K<inf>m</inf> of 0.56 mM for uridine diphosphoglucose and 3.85 mM for fructose. Mg2&plus; and cyanide activated sucrose synthesis but reduced the cleavage reaction. Increased pH had the same effect, the synthetic activity being higher than the activity of sucrose breakdown within the physiological levels of latex pH. In the latex of regularly tapped trees, the total enzyme activity in the direction of synthesis was about 10&percnt; or less of the total invertase activity at pH 7.0. Because of the strong limitation of invertase under natural conditions, the proportion of actual synthetase activity is, however, much higher and evidence is presented that in the latex of regularly tapped trees this activity significantly reduces carbohydrate breakdown. Some indications have been obtained that this involvement of sucrose synthetase is weakened by application of Ethrel to the bark. A reduction of its synthetic activity, accompanied by an acceleration of sucrose utilization in latex cytoplasm and by an increase of latex yield, could be observed before the treatment-induced rise of pH enhancing inver.
Mobile health teleconsultation and telemedicine in operating outpatient departments during COVID-19 pandemic at a hospital in Eastern Nepal

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

A BSTRACT Background: Telemedicine provides a means to deliver healthcare across distances, enhancing efficiency and accessibility, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted its importance by reducing the risk of virus transmission while maintaining healthcare delivery. This study evaluates the telemedicine program implemented at B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS), Nepal, which provided specialist services to remote districts via teleconsultation during the 2020 lockdown. The objectives were to identify the number of patients, the major complaints, and the follow-up departments during teleconsultation. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on teleconsultation data from March 1 to August 31, 2020, across various outpatient departments at BPKIHS. Data from 10,901 patients were reviewed, with variables including age, gender, residence, and consultation medium. Descriptive statistics were calculated using SPSS (version 22). Results: Most of the patients (55.46%) were female, and the majority (30.84%) aged 21–30 years. Most consultations were from the Sunsari district (54.8%) and Koshi state (88.9%). Voice calls were the primary medium (39.62%), followed by WhatsApp video calls (30.08%). Obstetrics and gynecology had the highest consultation rate (16.15%), followed by dermatology (14.4%) and psychiatry (10.37%). Nearly half of the patients (45.0%) had follow-up consultations, primarily for dermatological issues (17.85%). Conclusion: The findings underscore telemedicine’s role in facilitating healthcare access, particularly for women and residents of remote areas, by reducing travel and exposure risks. This study highlights the need for further integration of telehealth technologies to enhance healthcare delivery, suggesting that teleconsultation can efficiently meet healthcare demands in resource-limited settings during and beyond pandemics.
Oscillation Criteria for a Certain Class of Cantilever Beam Equations with Nonlinear Damping Term

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

The main aim of this paper is to establish some new oscillation criteria for a certain class of cantilever beam equations with the clamped-free end boundary conditions. We will establish the sufficient conditions for the oscillation by using the generalized Riccati technique. Our main tool of this paper is to generalize the Philo’s criteria with three variables in the oscillation results. Our approach is using Jenson's inequality to reduce the problem to ordinary differential inequality and satisfy the clamped-free end boundary condition. A solution of u is oscillatory if it has arbitrary large number of zeros, otherwise it is nonoscillatory. Some illustrative examples are given to explain our effectiveness of new results. Analytical methods are now used together with the cantilever beam methods and constitute a significant component in modern vibration analysis.These solutions provide accurate answers if the experiments include real-world problems, are too expensive, or cannot be solved analytically. Beams with a permanent support at one end and no support at the other are called cantilever (or clamped-free) beams. Engineers and architects usually have to build structures that wear the structure and limit radiated noise and substantial displacement amplitudes by designing structures that react minimally to applied loading.
Management accounting and organisational change: an institutional perspective

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose – The paper aims at understanding the potential role of management accounting during a public hospital organisational change within a developing country in transition, Egypt. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is based on in‐depth interviews, an analysis of documents, and direct observations. It uses a framework informed by institutional theory together with Giddens' (1990) notion of ‘elements of system contradiction’ to analyse the empirical findings. The paper draws on both DiMaggio and Powell's (1983) notion of coercive, mimic and normative isomorphic mechanisms to link a changing hospital to the changes in the wider social and institutional context wherein public hospitals operate, while exploring the interlinkages between these changes and the hospital's processes of accounting change and institutionalisation (Burns and Scapens, 2000); and Giddens' (1990) notion of ‘elements of system contradiction’ in order to evaluate the role of management accounting. Findings – The paper concludes that both the institutional change and reform around management accounting together with the changes in accounting systems are entrepreneurial processes in order to trigger a public hospital to change. Research limitations/implications – Although the empirical findings suggest resistance to management accounting change within the case study, a full investigation and explanation of such a resistance is an area of future research. Originality/value – In contrast to the technical role of accounting, the paper shows how management accounting is acted upon to disrupt the hospital's micro institutions and routines, challenge physicians' professional and bureaucratic power and therefore engendering the public hospital to change.

RATIONALIZING THE TECHNICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF SEA BUCKTHORN REFINING EQUIPMENT

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Conforming the severe continental weather, wild sea buckthorn clasps in a 14-thousand-hectare area around the river basin, the valley of Mongolia. Moreover, sea buckthorn was planted in 3900 hectares of field, 1.701.278 kg of sea buckthorn was harvested as of 2018. People tend to spend more time and man force refining the sea buckthorn from the waste matter. Thus, the authors set the goal to invent the refining equipment for sea buckthorn and rationalize the parameters f the equipment. For instance, the equipment refines 3.5kg of fruit, blast speed is 10 m/sec, and winnowing fluctuation is 80 min-1. Also, we defined the optimal value and made mathematical modeling of the refinement degree of the sea buckthorn.
Fluid dynamics of axial piston seal

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate, theoretically and experimentally, the sealing performance of the axial piston seal on a larger diameter (100 mm in diameter) axial piston and reveal the sealing mechanism of the axial piston. Design/methodology/approach Based on the characteristics of the clearance flow between the seal and the piston, reasonable boundary conditions for Navier‐Stokes' equations are determined and the equations are modified, so that the final equations can describe the real flow state of the clearance flow. Findings Through combining the final equations with finite element method, the pressure distributions within the clearance field for the sealing part during the reciprocating motion of the piston and the leakage rate with the pressure are obtained. The deflections of the sealing part which affect sealing performance have been given. Originality/value Theoretical and experimental results show the internal relationship between the seal and the piston, also help to develop some newer piston pumps and improve on the seals of present high‐pressure piston pumps.
The Active Control of Altitude over Differing Texture

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Earlier passive judgment studies showed that detection of loss in altitude was more accurate over texture consisting of stripes parallel to the direction of flight, than over texture consisting of perpendicular stripes or a combination of both, i.e., a square pattern. The current experiment required the participants to actively control and maintain a constant altitude over similar texture in the presence of a pseudorandom windgust. Results corresponded to those of the earlier judgment study with altitude being better controlled when flight took place over parallel texture, than over perpendicular or square texture. Theoretical and applied implications of these findings are discussed.

Calcium channels and control of cytosolic calcium in rat and bovine zona glomerulosa cells

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Rat and bovine adrenal zona glomerulosa (ZG) cells possess a low-threshold, voltage-dependent Ca2+ current that was characterized using whole cell voltage clamp techniques. Activation of this current is observed at membrane potentials above -80 mV with maximal peak Ca2+ current elicited near -30 mV. Inactivation of the Ca2+ current was half-maximal between -74 and -58 mV, depending on the external Ca2+ concentration and was nearly complete at -40 mV. The voltage dependency of the current indicates that a calcium current could be sustained at membrane potentials between -80 and -40 mV and thereby elevates cytosolic calcium (Cai) levels. Under basal conditions, Cai is stable in single rat ZG cells, whereas more than half of the bovine ZG cells produce repeated Cai transients. These Cai transients, which are blocked by removal of external Ca2+ or addition of Ni2+, are likely due to repetitive electrical activity in bovine ZG cells. Cai responses can be elicited by small increases in external K+ concentration (5-10 mM) in both rat and bovine ZG cells, indicating the opening of low-threshold Ca2+ channels. However, these Cai changes remain robust at high external K+ concentrations (20-40 mM). In experiments combining Cai measurements and whole cell voltage clamp, a steep dependence of Cai on membrane potential was revealed beginning at depolarizing voltages near a holding membrane potential of -80 mV. A maximal increase in Cai occurred near -30 mV (equivalent to an external K+ concentration of 40 mM), a membrane voltage at which sustained current through low-threshold Ca2+ channels should be negligible. These data raise the possibility of additional voltage-dependent pathways for Ca2+ influx.
