Abstract:
In order to assess the unique reading processes in Arabic, given its unique orthographic nature of natural inherent variations of inter-letter spacing, the current study examined the extent and influence of connectedness disparity during single word recognition using the optimal viewing position (OVP) paradigm. The initial word viewing position was systematically manipulated by shifting words horizontally relative to an imposed initial viewing position. However, unlike previous research, partially connected/unconnected three-, four- and five-letter Arabic words were displayed in the left and right visual hemifields at all possible locations of letter fixation. It was found that OVP effects occurred during the processing of isolated Arabic words. No OVP was found in three-letter words; for four- and five-letter words, the OVP effect appeared as a U-shaped curve with a minimum towards the second and third letters. Thus, the OVP effects generalize across structurally different alphabetic scripts. Furthermore, a perceptual superiority was found for words with right-positioned unconnected sub-units as compared to left positioned unconnected sub-units because of the differential sensitivity of the hemispheres to the gestalt form of letters. Such findings support the established view that the LH specializes in word recognition for alphabetic languages.

Abstract:
A letter-reading task (Experiments 1) and a word-reading task of regular words (Experiments 2) and of visually distorted words (Experiments 3) were used to examine the reciprocal interaction between phonological encoding strategies and visual factors, such as the global word shape, local letters shape, and inter-letter spacing. Our participants comprised Arabic readers familiar with different letter and word forms (connected vs. unconnected: without inter-letter spaces vs. with inter-letter spaces). In addition, this study is the first instance of the word length effect being studied in an Arabic context using different word lengths (3 vs. 5 letters). The average reading times for Arabic words are affected by the word connectivity, since the average reading time is shorter for connected than unconnected words of all word lengths (3 and 5 letters) reflecting the activation of lexical route, which processes letters in letter strings in parallel. As well, the average reading times for Arabic words are affected by the word length, since the average reading time is shorter for 3-letter words than 5-letter words reflecting the activation of non-lexical route, which processes letters in letter strings sequentially. Length effect is the signature of the non-lexical route due to its seriality caused by assembled phonology.

Abstract:
Abstract In order to assess the unique reading processes in Arabic, given its unique orthographic nature of natural inherent variations of inter letter spacing, the current study examined the extent and influence of connectedness disparity during single word recognition using the optimal viewing position (OVP) paradigm (three-, four- and five-letter stimuli presented at a normal reading size, at all possible locations). The initial word viewing position was systematically manipulated by shifting words horizontally relative to an imposed initial viewing position. Variations in recognition and processing time were measured as a function of initial viewing position. Fully connected/unconnected Arabic words were used. It was found that OVP effects occurred during the processing of isolated Arabic words. In Arabic, the OVP may be in the center of the word. No OVP was found in three-letter words; for four- and five-letter words, the OVP effect appeared as a U-shaped curve with a minimum towards the second and third letters. Thus, the OVP effects generalize across structurally different alphabetic scripts.

Abstract:
THIS ARTICLE is about the pronunciation of intervocalic x in English. I started thinking about it when I realized that in French (a language I am having to improve in, as I now live in France) the x in exercice is pronounced ‘gz’, whereas in the English equivalent it is ‘ks’. In fact, in all French words beginning ‘ex + vowel’ the x is voiced (‘gz’). There are other similar contrasts with English – exécuter, exigence, exosphère. While it might be instructive to compare the pronunciation of intervocalic x among several, or many, connected, or unconnected, languages, that sounds like a long work and I think it is possible to make some sense sticking only to English, with just an occasional glance elsewhere.

Abstract:
Fluent language comprehension requires people to rapidly activate and integrate context-appropriate word meanings. This process is challenging for meanings of ambiguous words that are comparatively lower in frequency (e.g., the “bird” meaning of “crane”). Priming experiments have shown that recent experience makes such subordinate (less frequent) word meanings more readily available at the next encounter. These experiments used lists of unconnected sentences in which each ambiguity was disambiguated locally by neighbouring words. In natural language, however, disambiguation may occur via more distant contextual cues, embedded in longer, connected communicative contexts. In the present experiment, participants (N = 51) listened to 3-sentence narratives that ended in an ambiguous prime. Cues to disambiguation were relatively distant from the prime; the first sentence of each narrative established a situational context congruent with the subordinate meaning of the prime, but the remainder of the narrative did not provide disambiguating information. Following a short delay, primed subordinate meanings were more readily available (compared with an unprimed control), as assessed by responses in a word association task related to the primed meaning. This work confirms that listeners reliably disambiguate spoken ambiguous words on the basis of cues from wider narrative contexts, and that they retain information about the outcome of these disambiguation processes to inform subsequent encounters of the same word form.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the system-based analysis of the definition and measurement of the professional position of the individual cadet of a departmental university. A basis is a set of elements that is characterized by completeness, orderliness, and measurability. The «set of elements» has the following «substrate characteristics» such as «relation», «mapping» and «transformation», which define the first level of «immersion» in the concept of «basis». In turn, at thesecond level of «immersion» in the concept of «basis», corresponding to three factors («completeness», «orderliness», «measurability»), there are corresponding triple characteristics that determine the third level of «immersion»: 1) «full» is «factorness», «multiply connected» and «integrity»; 2) «the order» is «symmetry», «dichotomy» and «adenomasness»; 3) «measurable» is a «measure», «projection» and «rating». At all three levels of «integration» into the concept of «basis» there is a single generalized dichotomy «external – internal», which in our article is projected on a separate personal dichotomy «social-individual». «Multi-connectivity» means the existence of many dichotomous factors for which there is no single dichotomy, i.e. there is no «node» with a single factor dichotomy (reminiscent of Kettell's factor strategy, consisting of 16 different factor dichotomies in his typology of personality qualities, where there is no single dichotomy). «Unconnectedness» means the existence of a set of factors for which there is a single dichotomy, i.e. there is a «node» with a single factor dichotomy. In the «dimension», the following triples are obtained: 1) measure the representation (image, word, number), 2) projection of data conversion (image to word, image number words number). The last conversion (words to numbers) will be used in this article, and it is, by the way, more common in measurement diagnostic practice. 3) the assessment of the level of measurement of information (low, medium, high) will be used in this article and, by the way, it is also more common in measuring diagnostic practice. In our article, «completeness» is defined by a factorial multi-connected integral set of types. «Orderliness» is defined by a symmetric-dichotomous unconnected factorial verbal structure of a set of types (a single dichotomous multi-factorial verbal structure of types or «verbal basis»). The «measurability»of types is associated with a single dichotomous verbal-numerical evaluation metric scale or with a «numerical basis». «Measurability» makes it possible to create dichotomous basic multifactorial methods based on a dichotomous symmetric verbal-numerical scale evaluation of types.

Abstract:
The article investigates the issue of books functioning in Dostoevsky’s works not only as texts analyzed alongside the writer’s own works, but as physical objects that play roles apparently unconnected with their contexts. The purpose of the research is to use the ambivalent image of books as both objects and texts to demonstrate that all elements in Dostoevsky’s poetics, including marginal ones, stem from the fundamental principles of his poetics. The research is novel in that it focuses on a little-investigated issue of books functioning as physical objects independent of their contents playing roles that appear incompatible with their traditional purpose serving as vessels or even as covers for other objects. This research optics refocuses attention on people connected with books, and our findings show that the same elements of a text can play different roles, and exploring even a single element in Dostoevsky’s works reveals key elements in major aspects of Dostoevsky’s poetics, such as his epistemology, anthropology and theology, and his ideas of the false (self-deification) and true (kenotic self-emptying) goals of human existence.

Abstract:
The research reflection regarding the 20th‑century compositional output is often limited to one movement only. This is connected with the multitude of approaches taken by composers in that period of music history. From the 21st-century perspective, however, it is already possible to take a step back from the dividing line, formulated in the subject literature, and treat the entire stylistic‑ aesthetic formations holistically so as to illustrate the universality of base motives propelling the representatives of seemingly unconnected movements. The article discusses the issue of polyphony present in the works of Polish composers of the 2nd half of the 20th century. The research material in question is, however, so plentiful that it calls for focusing on selected problems of multi‑ voice music. What seems to be the most important issue is discovering the significance of applying polyphonic techniques by representatives of the so‑called “second modernism” and postmodernism. The first chapter presents the typology. The second one makes an attempt to answer the question regarding the importance of using the researched resources. The last chapter provides, in turn, a research reflection putting polyphonic techniques in a broader perspective, which aims to give an answer to the question of the role of the idea of polyphony in ever‑changing music. Adopting the three points of view allows to observe inapparent coincidences of motives behind the behavioural patterns of the 2nd modernism representatives and the distinctiveness of the solutions applied by postmodern composers. At the same time, the research reflection reveals the inferiority of polyphony‑related elements towards more extensive measures aimed to facilitate breaking the static character of sonoristic structures and streams, or carrying out the deconstruction process.

Full text
Abstract:
ABSTRACT Chile employs subsidies to reduce the bill paid by lower-income households for piped water and sanitation. Previous research has concluded that this system has a lower Gini coefficient (0.29) than expected, meaning it is not appropriately targeted to low-income households. This paper takes a new approach to assessing the subsidy system, taking advantage of Chile’s 2016 adoption of a new means-test instrument in the welfare system. We refine the analysis by (1) discarding data arising from rural unconnected households, on the theory that they cannot feasibly be connected to piped water systems and thus cannot use the subsidy; (2) recognizing Chile’s use of an equivalence scale to adjust household incomes for household size and relative disadvantage, and (3) adjusting the analysis to reflect the different tariff levels across the country. With these adjustments, the Gini coefficient of benefits increases to 0.47, meaning that the Chilean subsidy program is in fact meeting its goal of targeting assistance to those who need it. In other words, previous research has underestimated the targeting progressivity of the Chilean subsidy scheme. We also use the Shapley value to apportion the improvement from 2015 to 2022 among the various changes introduced in the analysis.

"abilities monitor much more information than central conceptual abilities can pro-cess; and second, central abilities always have plenty of unfinished business. The key problem for efficient short-term information processing is thus to achieve an optimal allocation of central processing resources. Resources have to be allocated to the processing of information which is likely to bring about the greatest con-tribution to the mind’s general cognitive goals at the smallest processing cost. Some information is old: it is already present in the individual’s representa-tion of the world. Unless it is needed for the performance of a particular cogni-tive task, and is easier to access from the environment than from memory, such information is not worth processing at all. Other information is not only new but entirely unconnected with anything in the individual’s representation of the world. It can only be added to this representation as isolated bits and pieces, and this usually means too much processing cost for too little benefit. Still other informa-tion is new but connected with old information. When these interconnected new and old items of information are used together as premises in an inference pro-cess, further new information can be derived: information which could not have been inferred without this combination of old and new premises. When the pro-cessing of new information gives rise to such a multiplication effect, we call it relevant. The greater the multiplication effect, the greater the relevance. Consider an example. Mary and Peter are sitting on a park bench. He leans back, which alters her view. By leaning back, he modifies her cognitive environ-ment; he reveals to her certain phenomena, which she may look at or not, and describe to herself in different ways. Why should she pay attention to one phe-nomenon rather than another, or describe it to herself in one way rather than another? In other words, why should she mentally process any of the assumptions which have become manifest or more manifest to her as a result of the change in her environment? Our answer is that she should process those assumptions that are most relevant to her at the time. Imagine, for instance, that as a result of Peter’s leaning back she can see, among other things, three people: an ice-cream vendor who she had noticed before when she sat down on the bench, an ordinary stroller who she has never seen before, and her acquaintance William, who is coming towards them and is a dread-ful bore. Many assumptions about each of these characters are more or less man-ifest to her. She may already have considered the implications of the presence of the ice-cream vendor when she first noticed him; if so, it would be a waste of processing resources to pay further attention to him now. The presence of the unknown stroller is new information to her, but little or nothing follows from it; so there again, what she can perceive and infer about him is not likely to be of much relevance to her. By contrast, from the fact that William is coming her way, she can draw many conclusions from which many more conclusions will fol-low. This, then, is the one truly relevant change in her cognitive environment; this is the particular phenomenon she should pay attention to. She should do so, that is, if she is aiming at cognitive efficiency. Our claim is that all human beings automatically aim at the most efficient information processing possible. This is so whether they are conscious of it or not;." In Pragmatics and Discourse. Routledge, 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9780203994597-25.
