A Study of English Reading Modality Recognition and Practice Based on Intelligent Sensor Networks

Intelligent sensor networks are a current hot topic in the field of communication and are widely used in subject education, quality education, and home security monitoring. In today’s world of increasingly diverse services and growing information needs, wireless communication systems require more information to better understand and analyse the observed objects. In this context, this paper presents a study on the identification and practice of English reading modality based on intelligent sensor networks. The paper divides English reading modality into two parts: semantic modality and situational modality, and its system consists of three main modules: English reading article data collection, English article data semantic analysis, and English reading article situational picture feedback module. Finally, a practical study is carried out on the basis of this application, and it is concluded that the development and future prospects of this application are considerable.

Research on the Application of Blackboard Writing Images in College English Writing Teaching Aided by “POA” Theory

English is the most widely used language in the world as an official language and the most widely used language in the world as a second language. Writing ability is one of the five basic skills of English learners. Writing a beautiful English article has high requirements on the learners’ thinking, vocabulary, grammar, organization, and appropriateness. Research shows that for most English learners, English writing is the most difficult, and learners generally have problems in writing, such as incoherent expression, poor logic, single structure, and lack of interest. In addition, the domestic English writing teaching mode still has the problem of “ignoring the output and focusing on the input”, which leads to poor teaching effect and the students’ writing level cannot be effectively improved. In response to the above problems, this paper proposes to design a college English writing teaching plan based on the output-oriented approach (POA), focusing on the three core teaching links of driving, facilitating, and evaluating. Analytical research is conducted. Experiments show that the effectiveness of blackboard writing image teaching and English writing teaching under the theory of “production-oriented approach” has been significantly improved.

English Long Sentence Segmentation and Translation Optimization of Professional Literature Based on Hierarchical Network of Concepts

The structure of English long sentences is generally complicated, with complicated logical levels, many parallel elements, many modifiers and conjunctions, and long post attributives. Moreover, pronouns in English long sentences often need to be judged according to the context. Complex English long sentences are very common in English and even run through the whole English article. The analysis results of these complex long sentences will seriously affect the quality and readability of machine translation. In this paper, HNC (hierarchical network of concepts) method is improved to realize the segmentation of long sentences, so as to simplify sentence patterns. According to the characteristics of professional literature, this paper puts forward a translation optimization method of professional literature combining HNC with statistics, which greatly improves the recognition efficiency of unknown words by extracting professional terms. The results show that the word segmentation method based on HNC and statistics proposed in this paper has achieved a good word segmentation effect in the open test environment, with an accuracy rate of 93.38% and a recall rate of 94.51%. The conclusion shows that our method can make full use of the knowledge of the source tree database, thereby improving the accuracy of the syntactic model on the target tree database.

English Article Style Recognition and Matching by Using Web Semantics

With the explosion of internet information, people feel helpless and difficult to choose in the face of massive information. However, the traditional method to organize a huge set of original documents is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also not ideal. The automatic text classification can liberate users from the tedious document processing work, recognize and distinguish different document contents more conveniently, make a large number of complicated documents institutionalized and systematized, and greatly improve the utilization rate of information. This paper adopts termed-based model to extract the features in web semantics to represent document. The extracted web semantics features are used to learn a reduced support vector machine. The experimental results show that the proposed method can correctly identify most of the writing styles.

Examines Iran-China Trade Relations: COVID-19 Challenges, Sanctions, and Positive Potentials

Article in English. In the field of international relations, governments use different tools to advance their national goals and interests, some of which are tangible and some of which are immaterial. In a way, these tools mainly indirectly affect the important interests of rival governments and cause them to change their behavior. At a time when the use of force in international relations has diminished or at least governments are more cautious in relying on this tool, the impact on sensitive areas has taken another form, which is a manifestation of sanctions. Sanctions imposed on Iran in recent years over its nuclear program have affected Iran's relations with other countries and thus its interests. Following the sanctions, Iran lost ties with many countries, especially European countries, and thus accelerated Iran's growing relations with China, especially in the fields of economy and trade. Therefore, in this paper, we investigated the positive capacity for cooperation between Iran and China and suggest seven effective criteria based on the objectives of this study.

Where Have All the Articles Gone? The Use of Zero Articles in Marmora and Lake, Ontario

In May 2019, the authors conducted sociolinguistic interviews with 39 White residents of Marmora and Lake, Ontario, a place founded predominately by British settlers, with a mixed farming/mining economy up until the late twentieth century. The data are rich in well-known dialect features, including preterit come, zero relative pronouns, and, most strikingly, zero articles. Praat analyses confirm that these zero articles are not simply due to phonetic reduction, and analysis of the zero variants exposes several trends. Among the oldest members of the population, the incidence of zero articles is relatively frequent, especially among men, a typical pattern for dialect obsolescence. In addition to phonetic conditioning, consistent with definite article reduction at earlier times, the data also show a strong effect of information status, consistent with patterns for the zero definite article in York, England. Older individuals use zero articles across more contexts compared to younger ones, suggesting systemic adjustments in an evolving grammatical system. The authors argue that the use of the zero articles in Marmora reflects an earlier stage in the history of both the definite and indefinite articles in English. They also consider cultural changes and psychological impacts from personal commentaries to highlight the importance of social context. This research demonstrates that rural Ontario offers key insight into the earlier stages and current state of dialects in North America.

Non-Normative Tenses in English RA Abstracts

Normative verb tenses in the English research article (RA) abstract constitute the present in the rhetorical moves of Introduction, Purpose, and Conclusion and the past in Method and Product. However, non-normative tenses may at times appear. This paper looked at non-normative tenses in English RA abstracts. Based on a preliminary analysis of 20 RA applied linguistics abstracts, the study develops how non-normative tenses work in the genre of RA abstracts. Findings discuss writers’ intentions lying in each non-normative tense in each rhetorical move: the present perfect in the Introduction Move, the past in Purpose, the present in Method, the present in Product, and auxiliaries in Conclusion.

Alcohol abuse in trans and sexual minority women

IntroductionSexual orientation is known to have some influence in alcohol consumption patterns and outcomes. Sexual minority women (SMW) are more likely to develop binge drinking and alcohol use disorder than heterossexual women. Because women tend to be more secretive with their drinking and hesitant to get help, and alcohol is particularly harmful to the female body, SMW pose particular challenges.ObjectivesReview the latest research on alcoholism in SMW, focusing on various specificities of this population.MethodsLiterature review in the PubMed database, using the MESH terms “alcohol use disorder”, “women”, “female”, “trans woman”, “adult”. Free full text, publication in the last 5 years, English or Portuguese and article typology filters were applied. Following primary hits, secondary references were checked and a total of 10 articles were included. Results were grouped in epidemiological, etiological, therapeutical and prognostic specificities.ResultsData indicate that lesbian and bisexual women, compared to heterosexuals, are twice as likely to engage in binge drinking. AUD prevalence and patterns of alcohol use are especially higher among younger SMW. The influence of sexual orientation on alcohol use and related outcomes seems to be greater among women than men. Regarding etiology, internalized stigma, minority stress, victimization experiences, social norms and policies are the main culprits Even though SMW are more likely to report and ask hor help, many do not receive adequate treatment. SMW show an incresed risk of developing other complications, such as physical injuries, sexual assault, liver or cardiac disease.ConclusionsSexual minority women are particularly vulnerable to alcohol-related harms. Interventions especially directed to SMW need to be developed.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Stance Expressions in Introduction of English Research Articles written by Cambodian Authors

Stance Expression indicates feelings, certainty or uncertainty, and interests of the authors. As the increasing needs of the readers on significant findings from the introduction section of Research Articles, a study on Stance Expression of introduction section in the English research articles written by Cambodian authors has been conducted to employ crucial aims of the study: (1) examine stance expression types and the categories of each type; (2) compare the similarities and differences of stance expression types used in the introduction section of English RAs written by Cambodian authors published in local and international journals. Thirty research articles written by Cambodian authors published in local and international journals were used in this study. To fulfill these research objectives, the mixed-method research design was utilized in this study. All the four stance features, such as Hedges, Boosters, Attitude Markers, and Self-expression, proposed by Hyland (2005) were used as a Lexical analysis framework model in this study. The results revealed that four stance expression types were found in this study. The hedge was the most frequently employed among the other types of stances. There is a significantly different in terms of the frequencies of hedge used within both RA journals, but there is no for booster, attitude marker, and self-mention. Local Cambodian authors should follow the international authors as models in applying stance in their RAs. A comparison study of the stance expression and engagement between Cambodian and international authors in the introduction should be expanded more different articles from available journals.Keywords: English research article, introduction section, stance expression, local journals, international journals

Fifty years of change to prevocalic definite article allomorphy in Australian English

The English definite article has two major allomorphs: prevocalic /ðiː/ and preconsonantal /ðə/. Recent studies have shown changes to definite article allomorphy in some English varieties. Younger speakers, particularly from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, often use /ðə/ prevocalically rather than /ðiː/. The prevocalic definite article (PVDA) /ðiː/ facilitates management of vowel hiatus because it supports the emergence of [j] in preventing vowel adjacency (e.g. the ash [ðiːjœʃ]). An alternative strategy for separating adjacent vowels is glottalisation or glottal stop ([ðiːʔœʃ]). Few studies have explored the relationship between the vowel in the PVDA and hiatus management during the process of change. We report a diachronic analysis of Australian English (AusE) PVDA and associated hiatus management across a 50-year period (∼1960s to ∼2010s) and a synchronic analysis of present-day speakers from mainstream (MS) and non-mainstream (non-MS) (diverse) backgrounds using two read-sentence contexts. The aim is to provide insight into the process of change and factors that may influence its progression. Speech data from adolescents recorded in 1959/1960 were compared with recordings from Mainstream AusE-speaking (MS) young people recorded in the 2010s. Results showed significantly greater incidence of schwa in the PVDA and hiatus-breaking glottalisation in the modern data, particularly amongst females. The synchronic analysis comparing present-day MS and non-MS speakers showed increased use of glottalisation in females and non-MS speakers. Additionally, acoustic analysis showed more schwa-like productions in the PVDA by non-MS speakers. Of key importance in both analyses is that glottalisation was more prevalent than schwa, possibly indicating glottalisation triggered the change.

The potential role of saffron (Crocus Sativus L.) and its components in oxidative stress in diabetes mellitus: A systematic review.

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most important life-threatening metabolic diseases of the 21st century. The use of complementary and alternative medicine in diabetic patients seems to be increasing. Saffron, a valuable herbal medicine, has several pharmacological properties such as anti-oxidant effect, which can play important role in ameliorating the complications of diabetes. The aim of this study was to systematically review the therapeutic effects of saffron and its bioactive components on oxidative stress in diabetes mellitus. In this systematic review, databases such as PubMed, SCOPUS, Embase, ProQuest, and Web of Sciences were searched from the beginning to December 2021. All eligible invitro, animal, and human studies that examined the effect of saffron on oxidative stress indices in diabetes were prepared in the form of a full article in English. In the end, only 31of the 389 articles met the criteria for analysis. Of the 31 articles, 4 were in-vitro studies, 25 were animal studies, and 2 were clinical trials studies. Saffron supplementation may activate insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ), which can improve hyperglycemia and insulin transduction signal in adipose tissue, and regulate glucose metabolism, leading to an increased nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), HO-1 expression, amelioration of mitochondrial function, and an increased levels of antioxidant enzymes. Most studies have shown that saffron supplementation significantly enhanced the production and activity of antioxidant enzymes and decreased oxidative stress indices in diabetes mellitus. However, human pharmacokinetic and more accurate clinical trial studies are needed to determine dose ranges and the exact mechanisms of action of saffron and its active components in diabetes.

Quality Change: Norm or Exception? Measurement, Analysis and Detection of Quality Change in Wikipedia

Wikipedia has been turned into an immensely popular crowd-sourced encyclopedia for information dissemination on numerous versatile topics in the form of subscription free content. It allows anyone to contribute so that the articles remain comprehensive and updated. For enrichment of content without compromising standards, the Wikipedia community enumerates a detailed set of guidelines, which should be followed. Based on these, articles are categorized into several quality classes by the Wikipedia editors with increasing adherence to guidelines. This quality assessment task by editors is laborious as well as demands platform expertise. As a first objective, in this paper, we study evolution of a Wikipedia article with respect to such quality scales. Our results show novel non-intuitive patterns emerging from this exploration. As a second objective we attempt to develop an automated data driven approach for the detection of the early signals influencing the quality change of articles. We posit this as a change point detection problem whereby we represent an article as a time series of consecutive revisions and encode every revision by a set of intuitive features. Finally, various change point detection algorithms are used to efficiently and accurately detect the future change points. We also perform various ablation studies to understand which group of features are most effective in identifying the change points. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that rigorously explores English Wikipedia article quality life cycle from the perspective of quality indicators and provides a novel unsupervised page level approach to detect quality switch, which can help in automatic content monitoring in Wikipedia thus contributing significantly to the CSCW community.

Efficacy of hydrotherapy, spa therapy, and balneotherapy for psoriasis and atopic dermatitis: a systematic review.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis are chronic inflammatory diseases that have significant skin complications. The purpose of this systematic study was to evaluate the evidence obtained from human studies on the effects of hydrotherapy, spa therapy, and balneotherapy in psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. The present systematic review was conducted according to the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statements. Also, for this study databases such as Embase, PubMed, Scopus ProQuest, and sciences direct database were searched from the beginning to April 2021. All human studies that examined the effect of balneotherapy, spa therapy, and hydrotherapy on psoriasis and atopic dermatitis were published in the form of a full article in English. In the end, only 22 of the 424 articles met the criteria for analysis. Most studies have shown that balneotherapy, spa therapy, and hydrotherapy may reduce the effects of the disease by reducing inflammation and improving living conditions. In addition, the results of the Downs and Black score show that seven studies received very good scores, three studies received good scores, nine studies received fair scores, and three studies received poor scores. The results of studies also showed that hydrotherapy leads to an improvement in the PASI score index. Nevertheless, more clinical trials are needed to determine the mechanism of action of hydrotherapy on these diseases.

Biomechanical Characteristics of the Typically Developing Toddler Gait: A Narrative Review

Simple SummaryThis narrative review clarified the gait biomechanics of typically developing toddlers and revealed the changes of gait characteristics at different age stages till independent walking. The remarkable gait characteristics and developmental nature of toddlers indicate that the gait pattern of the junior independent walkers differs from the senior and experienced cohort. Gait patterns are associated with neuromuscular maturation. Changes in gait biomechanics are age-dependent. Therefore, it is necessary for pediatric clinicians to understand the characteristics and stages of normal or abnormal development. Developmental neuromotor control suggests that early identification and intervention may expedite treatment and optimize outcomes.Independent ambulation is one of the most important motor skills in typically developing toddlers. Gait analysis is a key evaluation method in basic and clinical research. A narrative review on the literature of toddler gait development was conducted following inclusion criteria, explicitly including the factors of English article, age range, no external intervention during the experimental process of studies involved, the non-symptomatic toddler, and no pathological gait. Studies about toddlers’ morphological, physiological, and biomechanical aspects at this developmental stage were identified. Remarkable gait characteristics and specific development rules of toddlers at different ages were reported. Changes in gait biomechanics are age and walking experience-dependent. Gait patterns are related to the maturation of the neuro and musculoskeletal systems. This review thus provides critical and theoretical information and the nature of toddler walking development for clinicians and other scientific researchers. Future studies may systematically recruit subjects with more explicit criteria with larger samples for longitudinal studies. A particular design could be conducted to analyze empirically before practical application. Additionally, the influence of external interventions on the development of toddler gait may need consideration for gait development in the toddler cohort.
