Full textAbstract:
Kõik loomulikud kohanimed on sünnihetkel nime andva väikse kogukonna jaoks motiveeritud. Artiklis on tutvustatud nimeandmispõhimõtteid – millised on kohanimede tekkemotiivide kõige tavalisemad võimalused. Kohanimedes esinevate loomanimetuste puhul saab ilmekalt näidata, kuidas nime leksikaalse koostise mõistmine üksinda ei aita veel mõista, millisest situatsioonist on kohanimi alguse saanud või miks ühel konkreetsel kohal on just seda loomanimetust sisaldav nimi. Sissejuhatavalt peatutakse kohanimede leksikaalsemantilisel ja tekkesemantilisel läbipaistvusel. Nimeandmispõhimõtteid on artiklis klassifitseeritud loomanimetuste leksikaalse kategooriaga kõige paremini kokku sobival moel: 1) sündmus; 2) looma tüüpiline esinemine kohas; 3) nimes väljenduv metafoor; 4) tüüpilise esinemise või metafoori alusel tekkinud liitsõna; 5) kohaga on seotud inimene, kelle nimi pärineb loomanimetusest; 6) olemasoleva kohanime varieerimine. Artiklis on juttu ka otsesest ja kaudsest nimeandmisest. Otsesel nimeandmisel luuakse nime ja koha vahele otsene tähendussuhe. Kaudsel nimeandmisel saab koht nime tekkivate assotsiatsioonide põhjal, mis esinevad selgelt piiritlemata kompleksina.Animal and bird names in place names and emergent naming principles. All naturally formed place names are motivated by the small naming community at the moment of their birth. The article introduces some principles of naming, offering an insight into the most common motives and patterns of place name formation. Animal names occurring in place names exemplify how understanding a name’s lexical content is not enough to understand which situation has motivated this particular place name, nor why a certain place has a name containing that particular animal name. In the introduction, the lexical-semantic and syntactic-semantic transparency of place names are discussed. The naming principles in the article have been classified to most closely fit the lexical categories of the animal names. Those naming principles are: 1) event; 2) animal’s typical occurrence at the place; 3) metaphor expressed in the name; 4) compound word based on typical occurrence or metaphor; 5) person whose name comes from an animal name and who has some connection to the place; 6) variation of the existing place name. The article also discusses direct and indirect naming. When a name is given directly, a direct semantic link is created between the name and the place. In the case of indirect naming, the naming is based on associations occurring as a clearly undefined complex.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding crystallization behaviors is of utmost importance for developing robust amorphous pharmaceutical solids. Herein, the crystal growth behaviors of amorphous anti-inflammatory drug nimesulide (NIME) are systemically investigated in the glassy and supercooled liquid state as a function of temperature. A sudden over-tenfold increase is observed in the bulk crystal growth of NIME on cooling below its glass transition temperature (T g). This fast growth behavior is known as a glass-to-crystal (GC) mode and has been reported in some molecular glasses. Fast surface crystal growth of NIME can persist up to T g + 57°C with a weak jump in its growth rates at 30–40°C. In addition, surface crystal growth and GC growth of NIME exhibit an almost identical temperature dependence, supporting the view that GC growth is indeed a surface-facilitated process. Moreover, the bubble-induced fast crystal growth of NIME is observed in the interior of its supercooled liquid with approximately the same growth kinetics as surface crystal growth. These findings are relevant for a full understanding of the surface-related crystallization behaviors and physical stability of amorphous pharmaceutical formulations.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Nearly two decades after its inception as a workshop at the Association for Computing Machinery Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) exists as an established international conference significantly distinct from its precursor. Although this origin story is often noted, the implications of NIME's history as emerging from a field predominantly dealing with human–computer interaction (HCI) have rarely been discussed. In this paper we highlight many of the recent—and some not so recent—challenges that have been brought upon the NIME community as it attempts to maintain and expand its identity as a platform for multidisciplinary research into HCI, interface design, and electronic and computer music. We discuss the relationship between the market demands of the neoliberal university—which have underpinned academia's drive for innovation—and the quantification and economization of research performance that have facilitated certain disciplinary and social frictions to emerge within NIME-related research and practice. Drawing on work that engages with feminist theory and cultural studies, we suggest that critical reflection and, moreover, mediation is necessary to address burgeoning concerns that have been raised within the NIME discourse in relation to methodological approaches, “equity, diversity, and inclusion,” “accessibility,” and the fostering of “rigorous” interdisciplinary research.

Full textAbstract:
This article advocates for a dialogue about research traditions and paradigms within the community around New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME). Although the research community collectively values interdisciplinarity, the author argues that we have not done enough to acknowledge and account for the inevitable epistemological differences that emerge with disciplinary diversity. Over time, NIME has seen a rise in the proportion of technical reporting and a concomitant decline in practice-based research, which historically played a more central role. Exploration and explication of the values, assumptions, and expectations that circumscribe legitimacy in practice-based research are needed in order to maintain and advocate for its relevance.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundCytosine arabinoside (CA) and prednisolone are drugs commonly used together in the management of canine non-infectious meningoencephalitis (NIME). The aim of this study was to report the haematological findings before and after CA and prednisolone treatment and identify any adverse haematological events in this clinical setting, following the veterinary cooperative oncology group established common terminology criteria for recording adverse events following administration of chemotherapy or biological antineoplastic therapy.ResultsWhile 48 patients with a presumptive diagnosis of NIME had pretreatment haematology results, only 12 patients met the inclusion criteria of also having post-treatment haematology results available for review after being treated with prednisolone and CA at a standard dose (200 mg/m2) in a single referral hospital in the UK. Forty-nine post-treatment haematology results were available for these 12 patients.ConclusionsFour adverse haematological events were identified in four patients. None of these events were convincingly attributable to CA administration.

Full textAbstract:
Recent years have witnessed the appearance of many new digital musical instruments (DMIs) and other interfaces for musical expression (NIME). This paper highlights a well-established music educational background theory that we believe may help DMI developers and users better understand DMIs in the context of music cognition and education. From an epistemological perspective, we present the paradigm of enactive music cognition related to improvisation in the context of the skills and needs of 21st century music learners. We hope this can lead to a deeper insertion of DMIs into music education, as well as to new DMIs to be ideated, prototyped and developed within these concepts and theories in mind. We specifically address the theory generally known as the 4E model of cognition (embodied, embedded, extended and enactive) within DMIs. The concept of autopoiesis is also described. Finally, we present some concrete cases of DMIs and NIMEs, and we describe how the experience of musical improvisation with them may be seen through the prism of such theories.

Full textAbstract:
The practice of gestural electronic music performance provides a valid context for artistic or practice-based investigations in the field of ’NIME.’ To this end, the material and conceptual conditions for the development of performance pieces using gestural actions need to be explored. The use of digital musical instruments and concepts for the expressive performance with digital sounds leads to questions of perception—by the musician and by the audience—of movements and actions, the body, the instruments, and of their affordances. When considering this performance mode as a topic for investigation, it becomes evident that in order to be based on practice, research in this field needs a definition and differentiation that helps to identify the specific perspectives that are only made possible through application in an actual artistic practice.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Norwegian politicians have proposed the use of an independent medical evaluation (IME) as a possible solution for reducing long-term sick leave. The use of an IME implies that a new doctor interferes in the relationship between sick-listed workers and their general practitioner (GP). The aim of the current study was to explore experiences of IME doctors from an ongoing randomized controlled trial (the NIME trial evaluating the effect of IME in Norway). Methods: Two focus group interviews were conducted with eight of the nine IME doctors employed in the NIME trial. The discussions were audio-taped and transcribed. Systematic text condensation was used for analysis. Results: The participants reported that the IME provides important second opinions, which they felt empowered the sick-listed workers and provided new insights into their condition. Beneficial IME working conditions and enhanced insight into different sick leave measures were crucial to this perceived usefulness. Some of the participants expressed disappointment with GPs acting as passive conductors and struggled to provide feedback politely. Some adjustments were proposed as necessary for the IME to be implemented nationwide. Conclusions: The participants seemed to have gained a different stakeholder identity by sometimes seeing GPs, their peers, as obstacles to return to work and welcomed the use of IME on a regular basis.

Full textAbstract:
Clearance of apoptotic cells by phagocytic neighbors is crucial for normal development of multicellular organisms. However, how phagocytes discriminate between healthy and dying cells remains poorly understood. We focus on glial phagocytosis of apoptotic neurons during development of theDrosophilacentral nervous system. We identified phosphatidylserine (PS) as a ligand on apoptotic cells for the phagocytic receptor Six Microns Under (SIMU) and report that PS alone is not sufficient for engulfment. Our data reveal that, additionally to PS exposure, caspase activity is required for clearance of apoptotic cells by phagocytes. Here we demonstrate that SIMU recognizes and binds PS on apoptotic cells through its N-terminal EMILIN (EMI), Nimrod 1 (NIM1), and NIM2 repeats, whereas the C-terminal NIM3 and NIM4 repeats control SIMU affinity to PS. Based on the structure-function analysis of SIMU, we discovered a novel mechanism of internal inhibition responsible for differential affinities of SIMU to its ligand which might prevent elimination of living cells exposing PS on their surfaces.

ObjectivesThe study was designed to examine the sufficiency of general practitioners’ (GPs) follow-up of patients on sick leave, assessed by independent medical evaluators.DesignCross-sectional studySettingPrimary health care in the Western part of Norway. The study reuses data from a randomised controlled trial—the Norwegian independent medical evaluation trial (NIME trial).ParticipantsThe intervention group in the NIME trial: Sick-listed workers having undergone an independent medical evaluation by an experienced GP at 6 months of unremitting sick leave (n=937; 57% women). In the current study, the participants were distributed into six exposure groups defined by gender and main sick leave diagnoses (women/musculoskeletal, men/musculoskeletal, women/mental, men/mental, women/all other diagnoses and men/all other diagnoses).Outcome measureThe independent medical evaluators assessment (yes/no) of the sufficiency of the regular GPs follow-up of their sick-listed patients.ResultsEstimates from generalised linear models demonstrate a robust association between men with mental sick leave diagnoses and insufficient follow-up by their regular GP first 6 months of sick leave (adjusted relative risk (RR)=1.8, 95% CI=1.15–1.68). Compared with the reference group, women with musculoskeletal sick leave diagnoses, this was the only significant finding. Men with musculoskeletal diagnoses (adjusted RR=1.4, 95% CI=0.92–2.09); men with other diagnoses (adjusted RR=1.0, 95% CI=0.58–1.73); women with mental diagnoses (adjusted RR=1.2, 95% CI=0.75–1.77) and women with other diagnoses (adjusted RR=1.3, 95% CI=0.58–1.73).ConclusionsAssessment by an independent medical evaluator showed that men with mental sick leave diagnoses may be at risk of insufficient follow-up by their GP. Efforts should be made to clarify unmet needs to initiate relevant actions in healthcare and work life. Avoiding marginalisation in work life is of the utmost importance.Trial registration numberNCT02524392.

Artikkelissamme selvitämme Helsinkiä tarkoittavien slanginimien, Hesan ja Stadin, käyttöä uudentyyppisen aineiston ja menetelmän avulla. Aiemmissa näitä nimiä koskevissa tutkimuksissa lähtökohta on ollut kvalitatiivinen, mutta tässä tutkimuksessa lähdemme liikkeelle laajasta digitaalisesta aineistosta ja tilastollisista menetelmistä. Tutkimuksemme on uusi avaus nimistöntutkimuksessa, ja nimitämme sitä korpusavusteiseksi nimistöntutkimukseksi, lyhyemmin korpusonomastiikaksi.
Aineistonamme on laaja Suomi24-keskustelufoorumista muodostettu ja Kielipankista saatava Suomi24-korpus, josta olemme hakeneet Hesa- ja Stadi-nimet. Tutkimus toteutetaan korpusavusteisena diskurssintutkimuksena. Molemmat nimet esiintyvät aineistossa yli 45 000 kertaa. Analyysimme alkaa tilastollisesta kollokaatioanalyysista, minkä jälkeen kummankin nimen kollokaateista on valittu tarkasteltavaksi 200 merkitsevintä kollokaattia. Kollokaatit on ryhmitelty merkityksensä perusteella luokkiin, jotka muodostavat näiden sanojen kontekstista fraseologisin perustein havaittavan diskurssiprosodian.
Hesa- ja Stadi-nimet jakavat yhteisiä diskursseja, mutta niillä on myös omia diskurssejaan. Hesaa käytetään, kun Helsinkiä katsotaan ulkopuolelta ja se on esimerkiksi muuttamisen tai matkustamisen kohde; lisäksi Hesasta jatketaan matkaa muualle, mikä näkyy monina kaupunkia merkitsevinä kollokaatteina. Erilaisista paikoista ja kaupungeista sekä liikkumisesta ja matkustamisesta keskustelu onkin Hesan yhteydessä tavallista.
Stadi-nimi kuvastaa puolestaan syntyperäistä ja aitoa helsinkiläistä identiteettiä, mikä tukee aiempia havaintoja nimen käytöstä. Stadia käytetäänkin juuri silloin, kun puhutaan "meistä stadilaista" ja katsotaan kaupunkia ikään kuin sisältäpäin. ”Stadilaisuutta” korostetaan myös slangisanojen käytöllä Stadi-nimen yhteydessä, ja toisinaan muulta tulleista käytetyt nimitykset ovat melko affektiivisia.
Menetelmämme nostaa esiin uutena piirteenä erityisesti sen, että matkustaminen ja liikkuminen on erityisesti Hesaan liittyvien diskurssien läpileikkaava teema. Myös Stadiin liittyy liikkuminen, mutta näkökulma on selvästi erilainen: liikkuminen tapahtuu pikemmin Stadissa kuin sitä kohti tai sieltä pois. Aiempaa tutkimusta tukevat havainnot, jotka liittyvät aidon helsinkiläisen identiteettiin korostamiseen Stadi-nimellä.

Kirjutises esitletakse Eesti perekonnanimede tüüpi, kus nime lõpuosiseks on -mees. Perekonnanimede panekul 1822–1835 on nimesid lõpuga -mees (-mes) pandud rohkem kui 140 mõisas. Paljud neist on hääbunud, samas on seda tüüpi perekonnanimesid pandud/võetud ka XX sajandil: 1921–1922 Petserimaal ja Narvatagusel ning 1935–1940 nimede eestistamisel. Kirjutises on ära toodud kõik 63 mees-lõpulist perekonnanime, mis esinesid rahvastikuregistris aastal 2017, nimekandjate hulk sel aastal, nimede päritolu ja tekkekoht, enamasti mõisa täpsusega. Nenditakse, et nimetüüp lõpuga -mees on laen saksa keelest (tõlgitud on saksa perekonnanimede formant -mann ’mees, inimene’), ehkki vastavaid eeskujuks olevaid liitsõnu esineb ka eesti keeles (näiteks aumees, jahimees, kälimees, maamees, põllumees, sannamees, talumees, nimepanemise ajal arvatavasti juba ka laenuline kaupmees). Saksa keelest on enamasti siiski laenatud nii perekonnanimede struktuuritüüp kui ka sageli nimeosade leksika (mugand, laen või otsetõlge eesti keelde). Vaid iga kümnenda nime puhul võiks väita, et aluseks on eestikeelne liitsõna. Huvitaval kombel järgib mees-lõpuline perekonnanimetüüp levikuala, mis on kindlaks tehtud paljude murdenähtuste puhul.
Abstract. Marja Kallasmaa and Fred Puss: A borrowed name type: surnames ending with ‑mees ‘man’. In the Population Register in 2017, there were 63 surnames ending with -mees ‘man’. The article presents the etymology of all these names. The Estonian surname type ending -mees has mostly been borrowed from German surnames with the name formant -mann. Estonian peasants received their surnames in the 19th century (about 31,000 surnames in 1822–1835, of those around 100 ending with -mees). Among those, there were around 5,020 occasions of surnames (around 2,000 different names) ending with -man(n), mostly in North Estonia. In 1935–1940, the peak of the Estonianization of surnames took place and 22 names ending with -mees were added. 1. Most of surnames ending with -mees are translation loans as Jõemees (Bachmann), Majamees (Hausmann), Metsmees (Waldmann), Mäemees (Bergmann), Nõmmemees (Heidemann), etc. In one surname, a partial translation of the first part has been found: Piirimees (Altegrenzmann). 2. Surnames with adapted first part: Valdmees (Waldmann), Kunstimees (Kunstmann). 3. There are different first parts of surnames in the islands of Hiiumaa and Saaremaa: in Hiiumaa, the first parts are toponyms, in Saaremaa, mostly adjectives. 4. Some surnames present the dialectal form versus standard language form: Mõtsmees and Metsmees (dialectal mõts, standard mets ‘forest’), Tepomees and Teppomees (standard male name Tepo, in the coastal dialect Teppo, same in the old spelling), Sannamees (standard saunamees ‘smallholder’). The surname written in 1835 – Maelzemees – has given three different present-day spellings: Mäeltsemees, Mältsamees and Määltsemees. 5.

Full textAbstract:
Higher education institutes in Japan are making serious efforts to introduce the use of information and communications technology (ICT), or e-learning, into their teaching programmes. Three types of educational reform in relation to e-learning are in evidence nationally and internationally: interactive satellite communications; the Internet and video-conferencing systems; and one-way satellite broadcasts. The Virtual University Forum of Japan's National Institute of Multimedia Education (NIME) has identified key requirements for the adoption of such techniques, based on findings from a series of symposia. The Japanese government is promoting strategies for educational reform through e-learning: the IT Basic Law, the e-Japan Strategy Statements I and II, the e-Japan Priority Policy Programme, and the e-Japan 2002 programme are examples of its efforts. Finally, the Science Council of Japan has emphasized the challenges facing those who work in higher education institutions in connection with the future development and application of e-learning. The paper reviews these various statements and initiatives and sets out key actions that need to be taken by individual academics, academic institutions, business and government.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTRecurrence of amebic liver abscess (ALA), once considered unusual, is increasingly being reported, despite proper management. Realizing the endemicity of ALA in the study setup, this 2-year follow-up study was conducted to investigate the recurrent cases and study the associated factors. A total of 101 confirmed cases of ALA were followed up for a period of 2 years. Recurrent cases were studied for associated bacterial flora, presence of resistance genes (nim), level of matrix metalloproteinase 3 and MMP-9, and genotypes of Entamoeba histolytica and statistically compared with the nonrecurrent cases as controls. Recurrence rates of 8.9% (nine patients) were detected. The presence of Prevotella along with an increased level of MMP-9 in abscess fluid and large size of abscesses (11 × 10.8 cm) was found to be significantly associated with recurrence in ALA. Among the nine cases, the presence of nimE gene was detected in two (22.2%) patients. The genotyping of E. histolytica strains showed that in seven (77.7%) cases, the genotype of E. histolytica was the same in the primary and recurrent samples. This study reports a high rate of recurrence in the cases of ALA, hinting toward the gradual development of clinical resistance toward the commonly used drug. The presence of nim gene and Prevotella in abscess fluid along with increased MMP-9 levels and large abscess size could be important predictors of recurrent ALA.

The article deals with the under-researched topic about the role and significance of the Torgut tulku linage of Andzhatan Lamas in the history of Buddhism among the Oirats (Kalmyks). It also deals with the history of their relations with the authorities of Tibet and the Qing Empire. The source is the inscription found on the stele to the 19th Andzhatan Lama Lobsang Danbi Nime (1918–1985). It is written in Oirat and Chinese and comprises the data about his predecessors, the most famous and authoritative lamas of this linage (i. e. Lobsang Gelek and Lobsang Tenzin). The data found about these lamas in Russian archival documents as well as Chinese and Kalmyk (Torgut) sources are scarce and contradictory. The article aims to systematize the information about the individual incarnations of the Andzhatan Lama and confirm their authenticity where possibly. The authors confine their research to the topics as follows: a) Louzan, the son of the Kalmyk Taishi Kho-Urluk, and Lobsang Gelek, the first Anjja (Andzhatan) Lama; b) the role of Lobsang Tenzin, the Seventh embodiment of Andzhatan Lama in the exodus of Kalmyks and their settlement in the territory of the former Dzungaria in 1771; c) features and history of this embodiment line, its significance in the development of religious and political links between the Qing and the Oirats.

Full textAbstract:
Sucking insects are the most common pests and could affect a wide range of cultural and wild plants. They possess a big reproductive potential and under favourable climatic conditions can cause considerable damages on agricultural crops. Some of the sucking insects show resistance to chemical pesticides, which additionally makes their control difficult. To investigate the effect of natural pesticides on the population of some sucking insects in a two year`s field experiment was conducted in the region of the village Kliment on five years`s old organic rose plantation. The following products have been included in the investigation: Limocide® (60 g/L orange oil) NeemAzal® T/S (Nime-substance – 2.5 %) and 4 % bee glue solution. The field experiments were arranged according to the block method in four replications and plot size of 18 м2 (21 plants per variant). The population density of sucking insects varied depending on the climate conditions. The product Limocide® and the 4% bee glue solution managed to control the invasion of the two-spotted spider mite Macrosiphum rosae L. and proved their effectiveness against Thrips tabaci as well. The product that contain as azadirachtin as an active substance showed an unsatisfactory percentage of effectiveness against the target insects. The 4% bee glue solution has a great potential, and its mechanism of action needs to be further investigated. Keywords: biological control, sucking insects, roses

Full textAbstract:
Artikkeli käsittelee unkarilaisia henkilönnimiä, nimifraaseja ja nimenvalintaa sekä etunimiin kytkeytyviä merkityksiä ja kokoaa niitä käsittelevää kirjallisuutta. Käsittely on osittain kontrastiivista: unkarilaista käytäntöä verrataan suomalaiseen sellaisissa kohdissa, joissa se helpottaa suomalaista lukijaa. Artikkelin näkökulma on alussa yhteiskunnallinen ja sosio-onomastinen ja tarkastelussa ovat unkarilaiset nimifraasit sekä niiden eri osat. Myöhemmin tarkastelun keskiöön rajautuvat etunimet ja näkökulma muuttuu enemmän semanttiseksi.
Unkarilainen nimifraasi koostuu usein monista eri osista, ja etu- ja sukunimen lisäksi siinä voi olla erilaisia nimentäydennyksiä, jotka kertovat nimenkantajan kansalaisuudesta, siviilisäädystä, perheensisäisestä sukupolvesta tai koulutustaustasta. Unkarilaisten nimifraasien käyttö yleensä ja erityisesti unkarilaisten naisten nimifraasien käyttö muunkielisessä, esimerkiksi suomenkielisessä, kontekstissa saattaa toisinaan aiheuttaa ongelmia. Naisen nimifraasi saattaa koostua pelkästään aviomiehen etu- ja sukunimestä sekä johtimesta -né ’vaimo’, jolloin nimeä toisenkielisessä kontekstissa käyttävän on ratkaistava, missä muodossa hän nimeä käyttää.
Unkarissa – kuten Suomessakin – nimenvalintaan vaikuttavat yhteiskunnalliset normit ja sosiaaliset konventiot. Uusien nimien antamista säädellään Unkarissa jokseenkin tiukasti. Jos lapselle halutaan antaa nimi, joka ei vielä ole hyväksyttyjen etunimien listalla, nimen antamista pitää erikseen anoa. Unkarissa on tyypillistä, että virallisen etunimen sijaan jokapäiväisessä kielenkäytössä käytetään erilaisia lisänimiä. Tällaisten lisänimien käyttö on hyvin vakiintunutta ja vaihtelee muun muassa nimenkantajan iän mukaan.
Normit ja konventiot eivät kuitenkaan ole ainoa nimenvalintaan vaikuttava seikka, vaan nimenantoon vaikuttavat myös etunimiin kytkeytyvät erilaiset merkitykset. Siksi artikkelissa pohditaan myös kysymystä siitä, onko nimellä ylipäänsä merkitystä, sekä tarkastellaan etunimiin yhdistyviä merkityksiä ja konnotaatioita.

Tradicionalno Priče djeda Nike smatraju se dijelom dječje književnosti premda nije provedeno temeljito propitivanje razloga za takav stav. Usto se i prve dvije objavljene verzije Priča djeda Nike toliko razlikuju da je ona objavljena u Pučkim novinama za trećinu duža od one otisnute 1880. kao knjiga u nakladi Mučnjaka i Senftlebena. Priče djeda Nike postavit će se u kontekst hrvatske dječje književnosti i nastojati locirati njihovo mjesto u povijesti hrvatske dječje književnosti. Ne samo da je došlo do ozbiljnog razilaženja u verzijama Priča djeda Nike objavljenim u periodici i monografiji već će se tragom nekih svjedočenja suvremenika utvrditi kako je i sam Kozarac bio spreman dio svojih djela u rukopisu namijeniti dječjoj čitateljskoj publici.

Aiemmissa tutkimuksissa on havaittu, että nimien muistaminen on selvästi vaikeampaa kuin muiden sanojen. Vähälle huomiolle on kuitenkin jäänyt nimien muistettavuus eli se, millaiset nimet muistetaan hyvin tai huonosti. Tässä artikkelissa nimien muistettavuutta tarkastellaan empiirisen koeaineiston avulla. Suomalaisessa verkkopeliyhteisö Aapelissa sijaitsevan Minigolf-nimisen pelin 33 harrastajaa osallistui kahteen kokeeseen, joissa testattiin, kuinka hyvin he muistavat pelissä esiintyvien ratojen nimiä. Koetulosten kvalitatiivisen analyysin perusteella erottui useita muuttujia, jotka vaikuttavat nimien muistettavuuteen. Niistä tarkempaan kvantitatiiviseen analyysiin valittiin viisi: nimeämisperuste, ns. ratasarjaan kuuluminen, nimen kieli, nimen pituus sekä radan pelillinen tärkeys ja kiinnostavuus. Analyysi osoittaa, että kaikilla näillä muuttujilla on tilastollisesti merkitsevä vaikutus nimen muistamiseen. Muistettavuus syntyy siis usean eri tekijän summana.

nime (Japanese animation) which currently become popular in the community has resulted in the emergence of various anime products, such as action figures, posters, comics, and even animated films. One of the most popular anime is One Piece, and its rabid fans are known as anime otaku. This anime otaku phenomenon not only occurs in Japan, but also throughout the world, including Indonesia. This article deals with newcomers who are interested in popular anime, and call themselves otaku, labeled as impromptu otaku by anime otaku.
Using a qualitative approach, this research was conducted through social media Instagram and TikTok. The research informants were ten students, who came from public and private universities in the city of Makassar. They consist of six men and four women, whose age range between 19 and 25 years. Data was collected using in-depth interview and observation techniques.
One Piece is one of the anime that has a high rating and is the most popular anime of all time. For impromptu otaku, this is considered as “the king of anime", so that fanaticism towards anime is only focused on the One Piece anime, even though there are many other anime that also have high ratings. While anime otaku are not just fans of one anime. In the process of choosing anime One Piece, a person goes through three stages, namely selection, interpretation, and reaction stages. One of the aspects that makes One Piece as an interesting anime for otaku is how One Piece is able to raise spirits through motivational words uttered by certain characters in the One Piece anime. The identity of impromptu otaku is shown through their involvement in various activities, showing that they are fans of One Piece anime, namely following One Piece developments on the internet and social media, collecting One Piece-themed merchandise, and joining the fan community. This indicates that impromptu otaku realizes their "class" when compared to anime otaku. Thus, by participating in related activities they hope to be aligned as anime otaku.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Anaerobic Gram-negative bacteria (AGNB) play a significant role as both pathogens and essential members of the human microbiota. Despite their clinical importance, there remains limited understanding regarding their antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns. This knowledge gap poses challenges in effectively managing AGNB-associated infections, as empirical treatment approaches may not adequately address the evolving resistance landscape. To bridge this research gap, we conducted a comprehensive study aimed at exploring the role of human AGNB as a reservoir of AMR. This can provide valuable insights for the prevention and management of anaerobic infections. Methods: We studied the prevalence of AMR and AMR determinants conferring resistance to metronidazole (nimE), imipenem (cfiA), piperacillin–tazobactam (cepA), cefoxitin (cfxA), clindamycin (ermF), chloramphenicol (cat) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as cfiAIS and IS1186 associated with the cfiA and nim gene expression. These parameters were studied in Bacteroides spp., Fusobacterium spp., Prevotella spp., Veillonella spp., Sutterella spp., and other clinical AGNB. Results: Resistance to metronidazole, clindamycin, imipenem, piperacillin–tazobactam, cefoxitin and chloramphenicol was 29%, 33.5%, 0.5%, 27.5%, 26.5% and 0%, respectively. The presence of resistance genes, viz., nim, ermF, cfiA, cepA, cfxA, was detected in 24%, 33.5%, 10%, 9.5%, 21.5% isolates, respectively. None of the tested isolates showed the presence of a cat gene and MGEs, viz., cfiAIS and IS1186. The highest resistance to all antimicrobial agents was exhibited by Bacteroides spp. The association between resistant phenotypes and genotypes was complete in clindamycin, as all clindamycin-resistant isolates showed the presence of ermF gene, and none of the susceptible strains harbored this gene; similarly, all isolates were chloramphenicol-susceptible and also lacked the cat gene, whereas the association was low among imipenem and piperacillin–tazobactam. Metronidazole and imipenem resistance was seen to be dependent on insertion sequences for the expression of AMR genes. A constrained co-existence of cepA and cfiA gene in B. fragilis species was seen. Based on the absence and presence of the cfiA gene, we divided B. fragilis into two categories, Division I (72.6%) and Division II (27.3%), respectively. Conclusion: AGNB acts as a reservoir of specific AMR genes, which may pose a threat to other anaerobes due to functional compatibility and acquisition of these genes. Thus, AST-complying standard guidelines must be performed periodically to monitor the local and institutional susceptibility trends, and rational therapeutic strategies must be adopted to direct empirical management.

Full textAbstract:
Toluene is extensively used in many industrial products, which needs to be effectively detected by sensitive gas sensors even at low-ppm-level concentrations. Here, NiFe2O4 nano-octahedrons were calcinated from NiFe-bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOFs) octahedrons synthesized by a facile refluxing method. The co-existence of p-Phthalic acid (PTA) and 3,3-diaminobenzidine (DAB) promotes the formation of smooth NiFe-bimetallic MOFs octahedrons. After subsequent thermal treatment, a big weight loss (about 85%) transformed NiFe2O4 nanoparticles (30 nm) into NiFe2O4 porous nano-octahedrons with hollow interiors. The NiFe2O4 nano-octahedron based sensor exhibited excellent gas sensing properties for toluene with a nice stability, fast response, and recovery time (25 s/40 s to 100 ppm toluene), and a lower detection limitation (1 ppm) at 260 °C. The excellent toluene-sensing properties can not only be derived from the hollow interiors combined with porous nano-octahedrons to favor the diffusion of gas molecules, but also from the efficient catalytic activity of NiFe2O4 nanoparticles.

Full textAbstract:
Two types of possessor encoding are distinguished in Forest Enets, the nominative and the oblique. Elicited data show that the oblique possessor is a part of the noun phrase headed by the possessee, whereas the nominative possessor shows the properties both of a detached topicalized constituent and of an external possessor. The main focus of the study is on the use of these strategies in texts. I examine their distribution in terms of the syntactic function and semantic class of the possessee and the predicate type. The nominative possessor encoding is shown to be strongly associated with constructions that describe 1) various types of possessive relations (predicating possession, stating the possessor’s age and name) and 2) the state of the possessor’s body part. Oblique possessors typically serve as referential anchors and are less determined by constructional semantics, in particular they are more common when the possessee is agentive and animate.
Kokkuvõte. Maria Ovsjannikova: Metsaeenetsi keele obliikvakäändelised ja nimetavakäändelised nominaalsed omajad. Metsaeenetsi keeles eristatakse kaht tüüpi omajakodeeringut: nimetavakäändeline ja obliikvakäändeline. Küsitlemise teel kogutud andmed näitavad, et obliikvakäändeline omaja on osa noomenifraasist, milles omatav esineb põhisõnana, samas kui nimetavakäändelisel omajal on nii eraldatud topikaliseeritud moodustaja kui ka välise omaja tunnused. Selle töö eesmärk on uurida nende omajastrateegiate kasutamist tekstis. Uurin nende distributsiooni omatava süntaktiliste funktsioonide ja semantilise klassi ning predikaadi tüübi mõttes. Nimetavakäändeline omajakodeering näib olevat tugevalt seotud konstruktsioonidega, mis kirjeldavad 1) erinevat tüüpi omajasuhteid (omamise väljendamine predikaadi kaudu, omaja vanuse ja nime väljendamine) ja 2) omaja kehaosade olukorda. Obliikvakäändelised omajad toimivad tüüpiliselt referentsiaalsete ankrutena ja ei ole konstruktsioonisemantika poolt nii määratletud, täpsemalt on nad sagedasemad siis, kui omatav on agentiivne ja elus.
Аннотация. Мария Овсянникова: Косвенное и номинативное кодирование именного посессора в лесном диалекте энецкого языка. В лесном диалекте энецкого языка выделяются два способа кодирования посессора: косвенная форма и форма номинатива. Данные элицитации показывают, что посессор в косвенной форме является частью именной группы обладаемого, в то время как номинативный посессор обладает сходством как с вынесенным топиком, так и с внешним посессором. Основное внимание уделяется употреблению двух способов кодирования в текстах. Рассматривается их распределение в зависимости от синтаксической позиции и семантического класса обладаемого, а также от типа предиката. Номинативное кодирование связано прежде всего с конструкциями, которые описывают 1) различные посессивные отношения (такими как собственно предикативная посессивная конструкция и конструкции, называющие возраст и имя посессора), а также 2) состояние части тела посессора. Посессор в косвенной форме обычно служит «референциальным якорем» и менее избирателен к типу конструкции, в частности такое кодирование чаще встречается при агентивном одушевленном обладаемом.

Full textAbstract:
Long-lasting and intense contacts between Finnic and Baltic tribes resulted in the linguistic and material intertwining of the cultures of these two groups, which belong to two different language families. This article concentrates on some interesting connections between both cultures, while attempting to explain and illustrate language contacts using the archaeological record. First, some semantically connected groups of Baltic loanwords in Proto-Finnic will be analysed in order to establish their time and place of borrowing. Next, the Late Bronze Age contacts will be shown to have been the most intensive. The borrowing of the Finnic name Kalev/Kaleva from Baltic kalvis/kalējs ‘smith’, which first was argued in my earlier paper written in Estonian (Lang 2012), is among the evidence for the intensity of these contacts. This is followed by a discussion of bronze work and the casting of bronze rings by these smiths or kalevs, and ends with an examination of the use of these rings as offerings and for taxation.Kokkuvõte. Valter Lang: Läänemeresoome–balti kontaktid arheoloogiliste ja keeleliste andmete alusel. Algläänemeresoome ja idapoolsete balti hõimude pikaaegsed ja tihedad kontaktid tõid kaasa nende kahe eri keelkonda kuuluva rühma materiaalse ja vaimse kultuuri (sh keele) läbipõimumise. Artikkel keskendub mõningatele huvipakkuvatele seostele mõlema rühma kultuuris, püüdes keelekontakte selgitada ja näitlikustada arheoloogilise andmestikuga. Kõigepealt käsitletakse mõnda balti laensõnade semantiliselt seotud rühma algläänemeresoome keeles eesmärgiga teha kindlaks nende laenamise aeg ja koht. Seejärel iseloomustatakse lähemalt kõige intensiivsemaid, nooremal pronksiajal aset leidnud kontakte, analüüsides sealhulgas võimalust tuletada läänemeresoome Kalev/Kaleva nime balti sõnast kalvis/kalējs tähendusega ‘sepp’, mida autor esmakordselt põhjendas ühes oma varasemas eestikeelses artiklis (Lang 2012). See teema viib lõpuks välja pronksi ja eriti pronksvõrude valmistamiseni nendesamade seppade või kalevite poolt ning nende võrude kasutamiseni ohverdamisel ja maksustamisel.Märksõnad: arheoloogia ja keel, läänemeresoome-balti kontaktid, pronksiaeg, pronksvõrud pronksi varuna ja ohverdus- ning maksuvahendinaKubbõvõttõks.

Artikkel käsitleb läänemeresoome ajaloolisi isikunimesid, mille lõpus on nimeformant (sufiks) -mas või -mäs (ühine tähistus -mAs) Antakse ülevaade, milliseid mAs-nimesid ja ka muid mVs-nimesid on allikatest leitud. Püstitatakse hüpotees, et kirjapiltidega -mes ja -meß esindatud isikunimed ei sisalda järelosisena sõna mees, nagu mitmed uurijad varem on väitnud. Analüüsitakse mVs-lõpuliste isikunimede võimalikku hääldust keskalamsaksa ortograafia ja tekstinäidete taustal. Käsitletakse mAs-sufiksi võimalikku päritolu ja jälgi läänemeresoome keeltes. Vaatluse all on ka mAs-isikunimede tüübi mõju järgnenud kristlikele laennimedele ja seosed tänapäeva eesnimedega. Eesti kohanimede vanades dokumendikujudes esinevat lõppu -mas või -mes on samuti vaadeldud. Selle tüübiga seoses pakutakse välja selged isikunimejuhtumid Ihamaru ja Viimsi, analüüsitakse jätkuvalt lahtise etümoloogiaga nime Teilma ja juhitakse tähelepanu mõnedele teistelegi tänapäeval ma-lõpulistele nimedele.
Abstract. Evar Saar: Finnic personal names with the suffix -mAs. This article addresses Finnic pre-Christian personal names which ended with the suffix -mas or -mäs (joint marking -mAs). An overview of which mAs-names and also mVs-names have been found in the sources is provided. A hypothesis is formulated that personal names represented by spellings -mes and -meß do not contain the word mees ‘man’ as the second component, as many researchers have claimed. Such spellings have been found in the names of Estonians and Livonians from medieval Livonia. The possible pronunciation of personal names ending in mVs are analysed in the context of Middle Low German orthography and text samples. Written mes-endings in personal names link, on the one hand, with the phenomenon that in preserving the Finnic vowel harmony, the letter -e was the main presentation of the Finnic sound -ä. This enables such interpretations as, for example, Melemes (*Meelemäs). At the same time, vowel harmony was disappearing in medieval North Estonian language which means that -ä in successive syllables was still replaced with a. Another and more important tendency characterising spellings with Middle Low German background is the perception of most vowels in successive syllables in a reduced form and writing them by e. Finnic suffix mAs has been interpreted on the example of Ihama and Ihamas by Päivi Rintala. Rintala considers the short suffix mA primary, which has especially functioned as individualising the object. mAs personal names are alive in modern Estonian in a Christian first name Toomas with an accidentally similar end structure and in a new first name Urmas created by Julius Mägiste. First name Armas ( Estonian meaning ‘lovely’) that is widespread in Finland and the historical Ihamas recommended by Mägiste have not become popular in Estonia.

Full textAbstract:
This article describes the design and implementation of the management of aggression care plans (MOACAP) in a secure service for people with learning disability and severe challenging behaviour. The MOACAP is a five‐part document, which has sections for descriptions of challenging behaviour, escalation patterns of the behaviour, non‐physical interventions, physical interventions and post‐incident briefing.Preliminary evaluations suggest that use of MOACAP leads to a reduction in aggressive incidents in the service. The approach should also be relevant to other forensic, mental health and challenging behaviour services and brain injury units. The MOACAP may also be relevant to services that will be affected by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Institute for Mental Health in England (NIMHE) guidelines on the short‐term management of disturbed (violent) behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
Pneumonija iz opće populacije je još uvijek uzrok značajnog morbiditeta i mortaliteta, usprkos učinkovitoj antimikrobnoj terapiji. Smatra se da je neuspjeh u liječenju, barem djelomično, uzrokovan pretjeranim upalnim odgovorom na infekciju. Kortikosteroidi su se do sada pokazali djelotvornima u smirivanju upale i poboljšanju ishoda liječenja nekoliko infektivnih bolesti. Stoga su, također, provedene brojne studije na temelju kojih je ispitivan utjecaj kortikosteroida na ishod liječenja bolesnika s pneumonijom iz opće populacije. Iako je većina studija pokazala pozitivan efekt u smislu bržeg postizanja kliničke stabilnosti, skraćenja vremena hospitalizacije ili antimikrobne terapije, u većini njih nije pronađena razlika u smrtnosti. Iako se u novim smjernicama iz 2019. godine za liječenje pneumonije (IDSA i NICE) ne preporučuje rutinsko davanje kortikosteroida, pojedini ih stručnjaci ipak preporučuju kao opciju u liječenju isključivo teške pneumonije, uz napomenu kako je potrebno istražiti koje će skupine bolesnika imati najviše koristi od kortikosteroida te optimalnu dozu i trajanje liječenja.
