Abstract:

ABSTRACT This paper aims to examine the political and economic consequences of the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus, setting it in the context of a Gramscian interregnum. First, the dismantling of the triangular articulation of the world market that characterized the decade before 2008 is examined. Second, the global protest wave and the electoral shifts observed since 2010 are interpreted as evidence of a crisis of neoliberal hegemony. Together, the economic and hegemonic crises represent the interregnum. Last, it is argued that the fight against the pandemic may lead to the overcoming of neoliberalism.

Abstract:

Richard Waldon’s play Lizzie Leigh can be interpreted as a domestic drama, a temperance play, or a sensational melodrama. In editing the script we asked ourselves which generic frame – the domestic or temperance – enables the sensation narrative to speak to an audience more powerfully today. Since the discourse of temperance is effectively culturally dead, our first editing decision was to delete the opening temperance dialogue and all subsequent references to temperance as such. We open our version of the play in the midst of an action, and all subsequent deletions to the script were made in the service of keeping the core action of the play in the foreground. We strived to capture how the action might speak to our audience within the contexts that we carry with us from our own cultural moment, our heightened awareness of forms of violence against women, and uncertainties about truth claims being the most prominent. Thus, we shortened the long paeans to lost domestic security and happiness, keeping domesticity as a thread but not a preoccupation. In other words, we kept enough of the domestic context to highlight the action with the intention to make the action as legible and as credible as we could.

Abstract:

This article is an imagined dialogue between Weber and Simmel which makes a modest use of some of the resources of theatrical play in order to provide an overall portrait of both thinkers and to bring their thought to bear on our present. The dialogue consists of three acts focused on three central problematics in as many critical moments in Weber and Simmel’s lives: Act I takes place during the preparations for the first conference of the German Sociological Association and thus deals with the constitution of sociology as a socio-cultural science. Act II takes place amid the First World War and its theme is evidently politics. Finally, Act III, where our two characters correspond instead of maintaining a face-to-face dialogue, is situated towards the end of the war and focuses on the attitude to life and indeed to death, as Simmel’s tragic yet admirable death takes place then. A brief introduction explains how we tried to use the possibilities of the dialogical form to expound Weber’s and Simmel’s thought, to compel them to confront their own blind spots and ‘unthoughts’, as well as to explore new ways of teaching the classics and transmitting their thought.

Abstract:

AbstractThis essay offers an intertextual reading of Gen 1-12 and Acts 1-7. Specifically, it considers how three soteriological themes (i.e., creation, sin and its curse, and creation of God's people) play a central role in the narratives of Gen 1-12 and Acts 1-7 and how reading these narratives intertextually can enhance one's appreciation for the evocative power of these themes in Genesis and for their distant echoes in Acts.

Abstract:

The marginal zone is a ring of tissue that gives rise to a characteristic dorsoventral pattern of mesoderm in amphibian embryos. Bmp-4 is thought to play an important role in specifying ventral mesodermal fate. Here we show (1) that different doses of Bmp-4 are sufficient to pattern four distinct mesodermal cell types and to pattern gene expression in the early gastrula marginal zone into three domains, (2) that there is a graded requirement for a Bmp signal in mesodermal patterning, and (3) that Bmp-4 has long-range activity which can become graded in the marginal zone by the antagonizing action of noggin. The results argue that Bmp-4 acts as a morphogen in dorsoventral patterning of mesoderm.

Abstract:

The fish skin acts as a protective shield against environments that are high in infectious agents. A thin layer of mucus which acts as a defence shield against colonization by aquatic parasites, bacteria and fungi which was mediated by peptides and polypeptides, was covered on the external body surface of the fish. In the present study, we had shown the activity of epidermal mucus of tap water, mineral water and saltwater fish exhibit strong antibacterial activity. Here, we have isolated supernatant of a fish Pamphlet (Pomfret), Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and Catfish (Clariasgariepinus) mucus. This Bodily fluid (Fish mucus) activity was correlated with a strong antibacterial activity (minimal inhibitory concentration for the three fishes) against both Gram-ve and Gram +vebacteria. In this study, the mucus isolated shows an inhibiting effect on the selected microorganisms. The antibacterial activity of fish mucus may be due to the presence of antibacterial glycoproteins and able to kill bacteria by forming large pores in the target membrane. Fish mucus is believed to play an important role in the prevention of colonization by parasites, bacteria and fungi and thus acts as a chemical defence barrier. Our results suggest that fish secrete antibacterial which are able to kill bacteria in the target membrane.

Abstract:

Bach and Harnish’s (1979) Speech Act Schema (SAS) breaks down into a series of inferential steps the process involved in understanding an utterance as a particular kind of speech act. At the heart of the SAS lies the notion of illocutionary intention, a special kind of reflexive intention whose fulfilment consists in its recognition. This article re-assesses Bach and Harnish’s Speech Act Schema in two ways. First, I discuss three types of indirect speech acts—acts exchanged between intimates, alerts, and ritual indirectness—arguing that in all three cases, a perlocutionary effect of re-affirming or testing the degree of sharedness between speaker and addressee is also achieved, making all three types of acts overt collateral acts in Bach and Harnish’s terminology. Second, I consider cases when the speaker’s illocutionary intention exists in only a rudimentary form, such as children’s early directives and metaphorical utterances expressing feelings. In such cases, the hearer is called upon to play a more active role, by constructing (rather than recognizing) an understanding based on the linguistic material provided by the speaker. The need to account for this second set of acts challenges the centrality of the speaker’s illocutionary intention as the ultimate arbitrator of communicative outcomes and forces us to accord at least equal weight to the contribution of the hearer. The end result is a novel emphasis on the intersubjective aspects of linguistic communication, which were given less prominence in more traditional models, such as the SAS.

Abstract:

Microtubule plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs) are a diverse group of molecules that regulate microtubule dynamics and interactions of microtubules with other cellular structures. Many +TIPs have affinity for each other but the functional significance of these associations is unclear. Here we investigate the physical and functional interactions among three +TIPs in S. cerevisiae, Stu2, Bik1, and Bim1. Two-hybrid, coimmunoprecipitation, and in vitro binding assays demonstrate that they associate in all pairwise combinations, although the interaction between Stu2 and Bim1 may be indirect. Three-hybrid assays indicate that these proteins compete for binding to each other. Thus, Stu2, Bik1, and Bim1 interact physically but do not appear to be arranged in a single unique complex. We examined the functional interactions among pairs of proteins by comparing cytoplasmic and spindle microtubule dynamics in cells lacking either one or both proteins. On cytoplasmic microtubules, Stu2 and Bim1 act cooperatively to regulate dynamics in G1 but not in preanaphase, whereas Bik1 acts independently from Stu2 and Bim1. On kinetochore microtubules, Bik1 and Bim1 are redundant for regulating dynamics, whereas Stu2 acts independently from Bik1 and Bim1. These results indicate that interactions among +TIPS can play important roles in the regulation of microtubule dynamics.

Full text

Abstract:

Applications of endoscopic technique neurosurgery are becoming increasingly popular as greater evidence of the safety and efficacy of these techniques is reported. Nevertheless, significant technical limitations need to be solved before neuroendoscopy can achieve widespread popularity. One limitation is the surgeon's difficulties in becoming anatomically oriented in a two-dimensional (2-D) environment. The lack of appropriate visual cues to orient oneself in three-dimensional (3-D) space makes relatively simple anatomical regions difficult to navigate. The authors describe an endoscopy system that allows for stereoscopic visualization during minimally invasive procedures and that acts as an adjunct to conventional open craniotomies. Four cases are described in which stereoendoscopy was used as either a primary means of visualization or as an adjunct to the operating microscope in conventional open neurosurgical procedures. The authors believe that stereoendoscopic vision is a significant advance in endoscope technology and will play a large role in the popularization of minimally invasive techniques in neurosurgery.

Abstract:

The Playing Tough and Clean Hockey Program was developed to teach youth hockey players ages 12 and older to play within the rules and enhance their ability to respond positively to their negative emotions (i.e., through emotional toughness). Hockey players were taught cognitive and emotional skills within a 3 R’s routine to decrease aggressive acts. Three youth ice hockey players identified as frequently exhibiting aggressive behaviors participated in 10 sessions. A single-subject design was used to analyze participants’ aggressive behaviors as well as emotional toughness. Results reveal slight improvements in all participants, with the largest reductions in retaliatory and major aggressive acts. Several key implications for practice are provided including the use of routines and managing emotional responses.

Abstract:

This article examines the phenomenon of the pause in A. P. Chekhov’s play “The Seagull.” What does the instruction “pause” mean, and why did Chekhov think it was so important that he wrote the word into the text of the play? In exploration of these questions, this article analyzes the text of “The Seagull,” as well as three stage productions. Such analysis reveals three functions of the pause: 1. Dramatic Function. The pause highlights the characters’ words or attracts the attention of the audience. In other words, the pause gives the characters’ speech additional dramatic significance. 2. Musical Function. The pause controls the dynamic unfolding of the play, thereby controlling the audience’s reaction and, ultimately, the success of the play. 3. Negative Function. The pause acts in a fashion similar to Iuriy Lotman’s “minus-device.” That is, by making a lacuna in the scene the pause adds some meaning that cannot be expressed in words. In this way, the pause serves to highlight the limits of communication, and draw attention to those moments which cannot be captured by language.

Abstract:

Purpose Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems have been shown to increase requesting and protesting among minimally verbal children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there is a lack of research on using AAC to address social communication in ASD. Additionally, most previous research on AAC involves expensive, difficult-to-access technology. Enhanced milieu teaching and joint attention, symbolic play, engagement, and regulation interventions have been combined to successfully improve social communication in ASD. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of introducing a low-technology, picture-based communication board using enhanced milieu teaching with joint attention, symbolic play, engagement, and regulation on social communication. Method An A-B-A-B single-subject design was implemented with a minimally verbal boy with ASD aged 3;4 (years;months). Three baseline sessions were followed by six intervention sessions and then repeated. Outcome measures included frequency of communicative acts, percentage of communication acts using AAC, and percentage of communication acts that were social. Visual analysis in combination with Tau-U effect sizes was used to evaluate the effects of intervention. Results Clear and immediate effects on frequency of communication (Tau-U = 0.97) and adoption of the AAC system (Tau-U = 1.00) were observed. The intervention did not clearly impact social communication (Tau-U = 0.17). Conclusions This study extends previous research indicating that AAC can quickly increase communication frequency to low-technology, accessible systems. The intervention dosage may have been insufficient to affect social communication, and further research should consider whether picture communication boards can positively influence social communication in young children with ASD.

Abstract:

This study takes up the current debate on natural versus elicited data in investigations on speech acts by comparing both types of data in a particular context, that of asking for and giving driving directions. An analysis of route-descriptions offered by male and female direction-givers in both natural and role-play settings revealed only one statistically significant sex-related difference: More male than female participants included mileage estimates in the natural setting but not in the role-play setting. However, when male and female participants’ responses were combined to compare natural with role-play direction-giving, the role-play participants exhibited several significantly different linguistic behaviors in terms of their use of verbal devices (e.g., landmarks, mileage estimates, stoplight estimates) throughout the interactional phases. Direction-givers, when acting in an authentic context that carries real-world consequences, unanimously recognized an indirect request for directions while the direction-givers in the role-play setting generally did not. Additionally, this study revealed that the cognitive behaviors and the conventionalization evident in “natural” direction-giving were lacking in the role-play exchanges. Finally, the role-play participants were generally more aware of their role as research participants than as direction-givers, an awareness that affected their linguistic behaviors.

Abstract:

Pregnancy is characterized by increased plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol. Studies suggest that progesterone acts as an antagonist at mineralocorticoid receptors. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that chronic progesterone, produced by treatment of nonpregnant ewes or during pregnancy, will result in increased plasma ACTH relative to the plasma cortisol concentrations. We studied three groups of ewes: ovariectomized nonpregnant, nonpregnant treated with progesterone, and pregnant ewes. In two series of studies, ewes were adrenalectomized and replaced with 0.35 mg·kg−1·day−1 or 0.5 mg·kg−1·day−1 cortisol. In both studies, aldosterone was infused at 3 μg·kg−1·day−1. In the first study, additional infusions of cortisol over 24 h were used to increase daily replacement doses to 0.5, 1, or 1.5 mg·kg−1·day−1, and intact pregnant and nonpregnant ewes were studied with infusions of cortisol at 0, 0.5, and 1 mg·kg−1·day−1. In adrenalectomized ewes chronically replaced to 0.35 mg·kg−1·day−1 cortisol, plasma ACTH concentrations were decreased significantly in the nonpregnant progesterone-treated ewes compared with the ovariectomized nonpregnant ewes. With 0.5 mg·kg−1·day−1 cortisol, plasma ACTH levels were greater in pregnant ewes than in nonpregnant ewes with or without progesterone. Overall plasma ACTH levels at 0.35 mg·kg−1·day−1 were significantly related to the plasma protein concentration, suggesting that the ACTH levels in the hypocorticoid ewes are most closely related to plasma volume. Across all steroid doses, ACTH was positively related to plasma proteins and progesterone, and negatively related to cortisol. We conclude that increased progesterone does not alter the feedback relation of cortisol to ACTH, but may modulate ACTH indirectly through plasma volume.

Abstract:

Most modern-day forms of Judaism determine a child's genealogical identity through the status of his/her mother. The shift from a patrilineal descent in the pre-exilic narratives of the Hebrew Bible to the matrilineal principle found in rabbinic literature has led to much speculation about its inception. Following the first exile, it is apparent that the status of mothers began to play a significant role in determining the national/ethnic identity of their children. This article explores three pre-Mishnaic texts which may testify to the early development of the matrilineal principle. First, it examines the expulsion narrative in Ezra 9.1–10.4, which recounts the removal of foreign women and their children, thereby apparently linking the status of children with their mothers. Second, it focuses on the Shechemite narrative in Jub. 30.1–26 and considers the incorporation of Molech language in the prohibition against intermarriage. In turn, this article proposes that the association between intermarriage and idolatry may be rooted in the presumption that Dinah's progeny would be Jewish, yet raised as idolaters. Finally, it argues that the author of Luke-Acts portrayed Timothy as Jewish (Acts 16.1–3) in light of his mother's status and thus was required to undergo circumcision.

Abstract:

The composition and social interactions of three family groups of Marmota marmota were observed during a study in the Vanoise National Park (French Alps) from mid-June to late September. Interactions between members of the same group were mainly cohesive, which confirms the social nature of this species. Social interactions between marmots from different family groups were rare and agonistic. The rate of social interactions decreased as the season progressed, probably in relation to a shift in allocation of energy to preparation for hibernation. Some cohesive interactions increased just before immergence, when marmots restricted their activity to the main burrow system. Rates of social interactions differed between groups and between individuals. Fewer agonistic acts, more play-fighting, and persistence of play-fighting late in the active season among immatures suggest the influence of an ontogenetic component. The most agonistic of the studied groups included an adult male that had recently immigrated. He focused most of his agonistic acts on three 2-year-old males, of which two dispersed during the season. Social events characteristic of each group, individual variability, and level of familiarity between group members influence the quality of social interactions and the dispersal of immatures. Social relationships between familiar individuals are amicable and can facilitate the retention of immatures in their natal group as well as their recruitment by emigrant adults.

Abstract:

Abstract The liver X receptors (LXRs), members of the nuclear receptor superfamily, play an important role in controlling lipid homeostasis by activating several genes involved in reverse cholesterol transport. These include members of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) superfamily of transporter proteins ABCA1 and ABCG1, surface constituents of plasma lipoproteins like apolipoprotein E, and cholesterol ester transport protein. They also play an important role in fatty acid metabolism by activating the sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c gene. Here, we identify human LXRα (hLXRα) as an autoinducible gene. Induction in response to LXR ligands is observed in multiple human cell types including macrophages and occurs within 2–4 h. Analysis of the hLXRα promoter revealed three LXR response elements (LXREs); one exhibits strong affinity for both LXRα:RXR and LXRβ:RXR (a type I LXRE), and deletion and mutational studies indicate it plays a critical role in LXR-mediated induction. The other two LXREs are identical to each other, exist within highly conserved Alu repeats, and exhibit selective binding to LXRα:RXR (type II LXREs). In transfections, the type I LXRE acts as a strong mediator of both LXRα and LXRβ activity, whereas the type II LXRE acts as a weaker and selective mediator of LXRα activity. Our data suggest a model in which LXR ligands trigger an autoregulatory loop leading to selective induction of hLXRα gene expression. This would lead to increased hLXRα levels and transcription of its downstream target genes such as ABCA1, providing a simple yet exquisite mechanism for cells to respond to LXR ligands and cholesterol loading.

Abstract:

Este artigo foi realizado pensando na tradução do teatro da autora norte-americana Gertrude Stein (1874-1946), mais especificamente nas traduções de seus textos poéticos, com o objetivo de mostrar a importância de considerar, no processo de tradução, não somente o conteúdo, ou seja, o contexto, mas também a forma e, no caso dos textos steinianos, principalmente, a dicção. Serão apresentadas duas traduções, uma autoral e uma literal, de dois fragmentos: um deles foi extraído da peça A Circular Play, escrita em 1920, e o outro é parte da peça Four Saints in Three Acts, escrita em 1927, ambas publicadas na obra Last Operas and Plays (1949). A tradução autoral de cada fragmento teve como base a teoria da transcriação, de Haroldo de Campos, e também teorias referentes à tradução poética, de Paulo Henriques Britto.

Abstract:

Postmodern play is one of the important characteristics of modern fiction; it often acts as a text-forming element of the literary work. Literary play is manifested within different text levels and literary discourse strategies: the narrative, composition, imagery, diction, narrative temporality and modality, the technique of metanarrative. The present paper features the poetics of play within different text levels and literary discourse strategies in the novel by contemporary Scottish writer Ali Smith "There But For The". At the level of the novel’s narrative, the play manifests itself in the confusion of reality and fantasy, imagination and actual memory in the characters' internal speech. At the level of composition, the author plays with the readers, giving them an opportunity to find some "key" that will connect the four chapters of the novel and the prologue; the characters and connections between them are sometimes also a mystery. Within the literary strategy of temporality, the following play elements are presented: the contrast between serious reasoning about Time and humorous comments and thematically related pieces of poetry; nonlinear narration; description of events which take place in different time periods in a short context. Within the literary strategy of modality, we can trace the author’s play with the reader and the effect of defeated expectancy. The technique of metanarrative also contains elements of the play: the literary and stylistic means used in the novel are explained both in a serious and a joking manner. The diction of the novel is characterized by usage of stylistic devices of different language levels, their function being that of the play: oxymoron, zeugma, chiasm, holophrasis, different types of morphological repetition, and pun. The results of the study suggest that the introduction of elements of a play into the novel at its different levels makes a sharp contrast with the existential themes of the work. Such a contrast greatly enhances the impact of this novel on the reader and requires further study.

Abstract:

A few puzzling features in the text of Figaro have been discussed for a very long time within the vast literature on this opera. Nevertheless there is little in the libretto that Lorenzo Da Ponte based on Beaumarchais's revolutionary play La Folle Journée, ou Le Mariage de Figaro, and in the music that Mozart then provided for it, which is really problematical. After all, almost the entirety of Mozart's long autograph score has come down to us, even though today Acts 1 and 2 are divided geographically from Acts 3 and 4 - the first two acts being in the Deutsche Staatsbibliothek, Berlin (DDR), and the last two (which left the Berlin library in World War II) being at present in the Biblioteka Jagiellońska at Kraków in Poland. (The whole autograph is fortunately accessible today.) It would seem that the only portions that have not come down to us in Mozart's handwriting are a couple of passages for recitative, and some of the supplementary wind parts for the last act's finale; we have these merely in the handwriting of copyists, included inter alia in scores made for early performances, or for sale in Vienna and other cities. Several of these copyists' scores will shortly be discussed here.

Abstract:

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) play essential roles in protein biosynthesis as well as in other cellular processes, often using evolutionarily acquired domains. For possible cooperativity and synergistic effects, nine ARSs assemble into the multi-tRNA synthetase complex (MSC) with three scaffold proteins: aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase complex-interacting multifunctional proteins 1, 2 and 3 (AIMP1, AIMP2 and AIMP3). X-ray crystallographic methods were implemented in order to determine the structure of a ternary subcomplex of the MSC comprising aspartyl-tRNA synthetase (DRS) and two glutathione S-transferase (GST) domains from AIMP2 and glutamyl-prolyl-tRNA synthetase (AIMP2GST and EPRSGST, respectively). While AIMP2GST and EPRSGST interact via conventional GST heterodimerization, DRS strongly interacts with AIMP2GST via hydrogen bonds between the α7–β9 loop of DRS and the β2–α2 loop of AIMP2GST, where Ser156 of AIMP2GST is essential for the assembly. Structural analyses of DRS–AIMP2GST–EPRSGST reveal its pivotal architecture in the MSC and provide valuable insights into the overall assembly and conditionally required disassembly of the MSC.

Abstract:

The Whistleblower and Justice Collaborator play a role in facilitating the disclosure of criminal acts of corruption, because none other than people involved in institutions suspected of corrupt practices and in other words the witness's information is key for disclosure of a case of corruption. The problem in this study is whether the similarities and differences between justice collaborator and whistleblowers in corruption, and how is the legal protection between justice collaborator and whistleblower in criminal acts of corruption. This research uses normative juridical and juridical empirical research methods with qualitative data analysis. The data sources used in this study are primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results showed that whistleblower equations and justice collaborator were in 3 (three) categories, namely vision and mission in uncovering criminal acts of corruption, guarantee of protection in the form of physical, psychological and legal protection, and awards where whistleblowers and justice collaborators cannot be prosecuted criminal and civil and given sentence relief. In addition to these equations, there are also differences between whistleblowers and justice collaborator divided into 4 (four) categories, namely subject, motivation, guarantee of protection, and procedural law. The protection between justice collaborator and whistleblower in corruption namely legal protection in the form of keeping the identity of the witness confidential and then provides security for witnesses in the trial process by providing physical, psychological, and legal protection.

Abstract:

Most cross-linguistic studies of speech acts have dealt mainly with two languages, a native language and a second or foreign language (Carrell and Konneker 1981; Castello 1981; Blum-Kulka 1982; Daikuhura 1986; Eisenstein 1986; Wieland 1989; Chen Rong 1993, 2001; Sifianou 2001; Lee 2004, 2005). Neither have they dealt with an African language as the first language. The present study investigates a multilingual situation where the native speakers of Ciluba, French, and English are compared to the trilingual speakers of the three languages in terms of the realization of the speech acts of apologizing and complaining. It considers the social beliefs of the subjects of the four language groups for the realization of the two speech acts. The study is part of a larger study that was designed to discover the norms of the three languages under investigation and to see how people speaking a second and a foreign language, with different levels of fluency in each, can participate in the activity of the speech communities of the two languages without violating their socio-cultural norms, and what impact, if any, their knowledge of these languages has on each of the languages they speak. Data for the larger study was collected by means of a written questionnaire, role plays, and direct observation. The data and results presented and discussed in this paper come from the written questionnaire administered to the monolingual English and French speakers and trilingual speakers native in Ciluba; and from the same version of the questionnaire administered orally to the monolingual Ciluba speakers. It was found that for the realization of the speech acts of apologizing and complaining, Luba socio-cultural beliefs were different from those of English and French, which are similar. In contrast to French and English, in Ciluba social distance and relative power between the participants play an important role in deciding whether the speech acts can be performed or not. The results also revealed that, despite the difference which exists between Ciluba and the other two languages, i.e., French and English, some subjects from the group of Ciluba monolingual subjects showed some similarities with the groups of French and English monolingual subjects in their responses to some items in the questionnaire. This deviation of some of the native speakers of Ciluba from their social beliefs was hypothesized to be a result of their contact with an urban environment and its mixed culture.

Abstract:

This study investigated the extent to which parental language input to children with hearing loss (HL) prior to cochlear implant (CI) differs from input to children with typical hearing (TH). A 20-min parent–child interaction sample was collected for 13 parent–child dyads in the HL group and 17 dyads in the TH group during free play. Ten minutes were transcribed and were coded for four variables: (a) overall utterances, (b) high-quality utterances, (c) utterances in response to child communicative acts (i.e., overall responses), and (d) high-quality utterances in response to child communicative acts (i.e., high-quality responses). Differences were detected for both quantity and quality of parental language input across the two groups. Early language skills correlated with three out of the four parental variables in both groups. Post hoc analyses suggested that the lower rate of high-quality responses in parents of children with HL could be attributed to lower intelligibility of child communication.
