Ethnography in sociolinguistic studies of youth language

In Lithuanian sociolinguistics ethnography is a new method; there are no comprehensive ethnographic studies. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the reader to ethnography and to show why it is important to include ethnography in linguistic studies and how this method can enrich the analysis of linguistic material. When applying the ethnographic method it is not only possible to provide a picture of the distribution of linguistic variables in the community, but also to discover the social meaning which is associated with those variables. What is unique about ethnography is that it allows the scientist to discover social meanings instead of presupposing them and to examine the construction and organization of the social meaning of linguistic variables. Even though ethnographic studies are often treated as case studies, the results of a well-constructed ethnographic study are reliable and replicable, for instance, the ethnographically discovered social categories and social meanings, associated with them, can be tested in a different community with a help of match-guise technique.&#x0D; Following the sociolinguistic wave theory, I explain how and why ethnography has been employed in sociolinguistic studies. The studies in the first sociolinguistic wave applied survey and quantitative methods to examine the relation between linguistic variation and the traditional social categories – class, age, sex, and ethnicity. However, the quantitative methods were not sufficient enough in explaining which social mechanisms caused linguistic variation. Studies in the second wave employed ethnography in order to find the relation between linguistic variation and locally determined social categories. Studies in the third wave departed from the dialect-based approach of the first two waves, employed stylistic practice approach and examined any linguistic material that is socially meaningful in the community.&#x0D; I also discuss the main aspects of ethnographic method: participant observation, fieldnotes, ethnographic interview and other types of interviews. I come in with advice for researchers who plan to use ethnography in their research. The examples of ethnographic studies that I’m using in my paper are mostly taken from studies of youth language. Nevertheless, the paper can also be useful to any researcher who is willing to conduct an ethnographic sociolinguistic study.

Research on Static Characteristics of Deep/Shallow Pockets Hybrid Bearing under Laminar and Turbulent Mixed Regimes

For high speed hybrid journal bearing with deep/shallow pockets, film thickness and film Reynolds number vary considerably in different position. Laminar flow and turbulent flow exist simultaneously in the bearing film. This paper establishes the laminar and turbulent mixed film control equations and the pressure boundary conditions together with the restrictor flow equation for a deep/shallow pockets journal hybrid bearing compensated by interior restrictor. The static characteristics such as attitude angle, load carrying capacity, friction power loss and flow volume rate are given by solving the equations with Finite Element Method. By comparing the laminar, turbulent and mixed flow results, it can be seen that the coefficients are proximity under journal speed 5000 rpm (only part of deep pockets is turbulent flow). But the characteristics coefficients of three flow models contrast evidently under journal speed 50000 rpm (deep and shallow pockets are turbulent flow, part of bearing land is laminar flow). Laminar and turbulence mixed flow lubrication theory is more accurate to high speed hybrid bearing with deep/shallow pockets.

Effect of pMDI or HDI Content in UMF Resin on Bonding High Moisture Content Veneers

The effect of polymeric diphenyl methane-4,4-diisocyanate (pMDI) or 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) in the UMF resin was discussed for improvement of the dry and wet shear strengths of plywood manufactured from high moisture content veneers. The curing behavior of UMF resin by pMDI or HDI content was examined by DSC and TGA, and its adhesion performance was evaluated by dry and wet shear strength tests of plywood. With the increase of pMDI content in the UMF resin, the curing temperature, reaction enthalpy (<TEX>${\Delta}H$</TEX>), and thermal stability consistently increased. With the increase of HDI content in the UMF resin, however, the curing temperature and reaction enthalpy (<TEX>${\Delta}H$</TEX>) decreased consistently and the thermal stability slightly increased in the range of 200 to <TEX>$400^{\circ}C$</TEX> but decreased beyond <TEX>$400^{\circ}C$</TEX>. Also, the dry tensile shear strength increased up to the pMDI content of 5% and then decreased with its further addition but the wet tensile shear strength showed slight tendency to increase with the increase of pMDI content in the UMF resin. As the HDI content increased, however, the dry and wet tensile shear strengths of plywood consistently increased.

The spending of public money in no-fee schools in the Sekhukhune district of Limpopo province

The purpose of this research was to investigate how no-fee schools spend public money.It investigated what the schools spend the money and how they do it. The research investigated how decisions of spending are taken by all the stakeholders at the schools. The research wanted to find out whether the public money in no-fee schools was wisely spent or not. The literature review found that education funding has been at the centre of political reforms since 1994 to address equality and equity. The introduction of no-fee schools was an attempt to increase accesstowards quality public education through provision of more resources. The research found evidence of non-compliance by schools in certain areas on how schools should use funds as provided by SASA. It was found that schools do not spend the public money according to the prescript guidelines. There was evidence of fruitless and unwise spending. The research found that the powers that were given to schools SGBs through SASA were sometimes usurped by school principals asa result of the void created by the SGBs. It was revealed that some schoolsissue fraudulent cheques. Despite the no fee policy, schools still charge certain compulsory fees. The research revealed that certain functionaries directly involved in the use of school money still lack proper financial training, knowledge and skills. Despite the allocation of resources through the no-fee schools policy to schools, there were findings of inefficient and fruitless spending. Some of the sampled no-fee schools showed non-compliance with the guidelines in regard to correct spending and accountability. The different roles and responsibilities of each component of the SGB need to be clarified. Officials need to assist in this regard. There is a need for continuous training by education officials of SGBs on the utilization of school money. There is a need for improved monitoring and supervision as money cannot be utilized without proper monitoring and supervision. Despite the reports that are given to stakeholders there are still complaints from parents that need to be fully addressed by SGBs. Copyright

Metastability from the large deviations point of view: A $Γ$-expansion of the level two large deviations rate functional of non-reversible finite-state Markov chains

Consider a sequence of continuous-time Markov chains $(X^{(n)}_t:t\ge 0)$ evolving on a fixed finite state space $V$. Let $I_n$ be the level two large deviations rate functional for $X^{(n)}_t$, as $t\to\infty$. Under a hypothesis on the jump rates, we prove that $I_n$ can be written as $I_n = I^{(0)} \,+\, \sum_{1\le p\le q} (1/θ^{(p)}_n) \, I^{(p)}$ for some rate functionals $I^{(p)}$. The weights $θ^{(p)}_n$ correspond to the time-scales at which the sequence of Markov chains $X^{(n)}_t$ exhibit a metastable behavior, and the zero level sets of the rate functionals $I^{(p)}$ identify the metastable states.

[Dilemma: to test or not to test for Lyme borreliosis in general practice].

There is no such thing as a perfect diagnostic test and the value of a test depends on the situation in which the test is being used. Here, we discuss two options for dealing with the diagnostic process for Lyme borreliosis in general practice. One option is to manage, treat or refer according to clinical signs and symptoms, in accordance with Dutch practice guidelines. The other option is to use laboratory tests to guide further patient management (treatment or referral). The choice depends on currently unknown factors, such as the pre-test probability of Lyme disease in patients presenting to general practitioners. Furthermore, clarity is required about how to proceed after a positive or negative test result. The consequences of a false test result will depend on the patient's status, possible alternative diagnoses and treatment options. Both physician and patient should be aware of the shortcomings of diagnostic tests.

An optimal algorithm for geodesic mutual visibility on hexagonal grids

For a set of robots (or agents) moving in a graph, two properties are highly desirable: confidentiality (i.e., a message between two agents must not pass through any intermediate agent) and efficiency (i.e., messages are delivered through shortest paths). These properties can be obtained if the \textsc{Geodesic Mutual Visibility} (GMV, for short) problem is solved: oblivious robots move along the edges of the graph, without collisions, to occupy some vertices that guarantee they become pairwise geodesic mutually visible. This means there is a shortest path (i.e., a ``geodesic'') between each pair of robots along which no other robots reside. In this work, we optimally solve GMV on finite hexagonal grids $G_k$. This, in turn, requires first solving a graph combinatorial problem, i.e. determining the maximum number of mutually visible vertices in $G_k$.

Effects of domperidone on gallbladder emptying in normal persons

AIMS To investigate the effects of domperidone(Dom)on gallbladder (GB)emptying in normal persons. METHODS The effects of Dom on GB emptying in 18 normal subjects were studied by ultrasonography according to randomized,double- blind and self-controlled protocol. RESULTS GB emptying was slow after oral Dom.GB ejection fraction (GBEF)was significantly decreased at postprandial 30 min after oral 20 mg Dom(P0.05),and the decrease was more significant 60 min after the meal(P0.01)o A marked difference was found between 10 mg Dom and 20 mg Dom on GBEF after the meal.No significant dif- ference was found between 10 mg Dom and without Dom(P0.05) although 10 mg Dom made GBEF decreased.The speed of GB empty- ing was slower,and the maximum GBEF was significantly less in 20 mg Dom than in 10 mg Dom and no Dora after the meal(P0.01). CONCLUSIONS The present study shows that 20 mg Dom has a signifi- cantly inhibiting effect on GB emptying through inhibiting GB con- traction or relaxation of Oddi sphincter,which provides an evidence for reasonable usage of Dom.

Bone Disease in the Common Marmoset

The common marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus) is a New World primate that is used in biomedical research due to its small size and relative ease of handling compared with larger primates. Although bone disease in common marmosets is well recognized, there are very few detailed descriptions in the literature that cover the range of lesions seen in these animals. For all animals used to model human disease, it is important to be aware of background lesions that may affect the interpretation of study findings. This retrospective study details bone diseases encountered in marmoset breeding colonies at 2 different institutions. Affected marmosets at Johns Hopkins University had lesions compatible with diagnoses of rickets, fibrous osteodystrophy and osteopenia. Affected marmosets at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center exhibited severe lesions of osteoclastic bone resorption and remodeling that had an unusual distribution and were not easily categorized into a known disease entity. The purpose of this report is to document these naturally occurring skeletal lesions of common marmosets and suggest an approach to evaluating skeletal disease in prospective studies of these animals that will allow the most accurate diagnoses.

Does Double Dose of Recombinant Human Chorionic Gonadotropin for Final Follicular Maturation in In vitro Fertilization Cycles Improve Oocyte Quality: A Prospective Randomized Study

Context: In in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, the recommended dose of recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (r-hCG), for triggering final follicular maturation is 250 μg, although there is some disagreement. Aims: The aim of our study was to assess the effect on the number of mature oocytes retrieved after triggering ovulation in IVF cycles using 250 μg or 500 μg of r-hCG. Settings and Design: Prospective, single-center, randomized study. Subjects and Methods: 100 women undergoing IVF with embryo transfer. The primary outcome measure was the total number of oocytes retrieved per follicle, number of mature oocytes, and number of embryos generated. The secondary outcomes included clinical and biochemical pregnancy rates and incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Results: Mean number of oocytes retrieved (6.5 ± 4.0 vs. 6.4 ± 3.9, P = 0.3) and mean number of mature oocytes (4.0 ± 2.3 vs. 3.2 ± 2.3, P = 0.09) were similar in the two groups; however, mean number of oocytes retrieved per follicle was found to be higher with 500 μg r-hCG (67.4 ± 23.9 vs. 77.5 ± 23.3, P = 0.04). In the subgroup of poor responder women, there was a significant increase in the number of mature oocytes retrieved with double dose of r-hCG (2.2 ± 1.8 vs. 3.7 ± 1.9, P = 0.06), leading to improvement in fertilization and clinical pregnancy rates. Conclusions: Double dose of r-hCG for final follicular maturation in IVF cycles resulted in improvement in mean number of oocytes per follicle but did not result in improved pregnancy rates in the women. In the subset of poor responders, 500 μg r-hCG seems to be more advantageous than the lower dose, although larger randomized trials are needed to generalize this strategy.

Trends in sport participation at South African universities

Higher education institutions provide students with a relatively well-resourced and specialised environment for recreation and high performance sport participation. The relatively short duration of an athletic career contributes to role conflict of being a student and athlete with parallel sets of influences towards professional socialisation. The student-athlete as a unique population and their organisational management is faced with many issues, including the issue of inclusion, ethnic diversity, gender disenfranchisement and risk behaviours. The participation figures of sixteen universities obtained through two questionnaires, six interviews and nineteen focus groups reveal high success rates in league competitions, ranging between 62.1 per cent and 86.6 per cent for finishing in the first three positions. With an adaptation to the exact figure of 7 552, an estimated 10 000 students participated in league competitions in 2008. Three clusters based on number of participants emerged. Overall league participants represented a gender bias of 5 857 males (58.5%), 3 343 females (41.5%), and 606 athletes playing in mixed teams. The sports of the six universities with the highest numbers include rugby (n=1 270), hockey (n=1 248), cricket (n=748), football (n=537), netball (n=420), athletics (n=388), basketball (n=168), tennis (n=126) and volleyball (n=120). Issues of inclusion and gender equality should be addressed, as the majority of sports uphold the ethos of masculinity. Other social issues that warranted research and action include sporadic binge drinking, risk behaviour and role-conflict of being a student and athlete often experiencing contradictory and unreasonable expectations.
