The Place of Mediation in Language Competence Certification – The Non-Formal Context of Language Learning and Teaching (Based on the Greek KPG Exam)

The aim of this paper is to reflect on the role of mediation activities in the process of certifying language-user competence in the context of the non-formal process of certifying language proficiency. First, the definitions of the mediation process and that of the mediator in relation to different research areas are analysed. Then, the role of mediation in the process of foreign language education is considered, with particular reference to the statements contained in the supplementary volume to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, whose authors operationalise the concept of mediation in the context of foreign language learning and teaching. The paper then analyses the mediation tasks included in a certification exam designed for adults, namely the Greek Kratiko Pistopiitiko Glosomathias exam. The analysis of these tasks aims to answer the question as to what extent and with which techniques mediation skills can be tested.

Manuscript Treasures from Najaf in Carl Brockelmann’s Geschichte der arabischen Litteratur

Abstract In the 1890s, Carl Brockelmann (d. 1956) embarked on a mission to compile single-handedly a bibliography of the entire extant Muslim literary tradition in the Arabic language. Though the task proved impossible to accomplish in full, the supplement volumes (published in 1937, 1938, and 1942) and the second edition (published in 1943 and 1949) that eventually replaced the original Geschichte der arabischen Litteratur (GAL) remain an indispensable tool for Arabists and Islamicists today, especially for the mid-fifth/eleventh century and later. Little is known about how Brockelmann went about his work in the decades between the publication of the original GAL and the late 1930s and 1940s, when he was preparing the supplements and the second edition. Access to the relevant primary and secondary material proved challenging and variable over the course of Brockelmann’s career. The difficulties he encountered in consulting the relevant materials were partly alleviated by the support he received from colleagues, especially Hellmut Ritter (d. 1971), who was based in Istanbul and had access to the rich manuscript holdings of the local libraries. However, the importance of Ritter’s contributions to Brockelmann’s work goes beyond these manuscripts. For example, Ritter provided Brockelmann with two documents concerning the manuscript treasures of Najaf: a letter he had received in March 1936 from a young scholar in Najaf, ʿ⁠Alī al-Khāqānī (d. 1400/1979 or 1980), in which the latter described a selection of locally held manuscripts, and a handwritten catalogue by one Najafābādī. Eventually Brockelmann also had access to the first two volumes of Āghā Buzurg al-Ṭihrānī’s (d. 1389/1970) al-Dharīʿ⁠a ilā taṣānīf al-Shīʿ⁠a, his third important source for the manuscripts of Najaf. The present study analyses Brockelmann’s usage of these three sources.

Second-order computational homogenisation enhanced with non-uniform body forces for non-linear cellular materials and metamaterials

Although “classical” multi-scale methods can capture the behaviour of cellular, including lattice, materials, when considering lattices or metamaterial local instabilities, corresponding to a change of the micro-structure morphology, classical computational homogenisation methods fail. On the one hand, first order computational homogenisation, which considers a classical continuum at the macro-scale cannot capture localisation bands inherent to cell buckling propagation. On the other hand, second-order computational homogenisation, which considers a higher order continuum at the macro-scale, introduces a size effect with respect to the Representative Volume Element (RVE) size, which is problematic when the RVE has to consider several cells to recover periodicity during local instability. In this paper we reformulate in a finite-strain setting the second-order computational homogenisation using the idea of equivalent homogenised volume. From this equivalence, arises at the micro-scale a non-uniform body force that acts as a supplementary volume term over the RVE. In the presented method, this non-uniform body-force term arises from the equivalence of energy, i.e. the Hill–Mandel condition, between the micro- and macroscopic volumes and depends mainly on the relation between the micro-scale and macro-scale deformation gradient. We show by considering elastic and elasto-plastic metamaterials and cellular materials that this approach reduces the RVE size dependency on the homogenised response.

How COVID-19 Impacted Community Health Coalition Functioning and Strategies Used to Adapt

Background/Objective: Community health coalitions are important resources for positively impacting health. Recent research analyzed how COVID-19 affected health coalition operations. This literature review examined both gray and peer reviewed literature to investigate the effect.
 Methods: A manual search of the Association for Clinical and Translational Science’s (ACTS) – Journal of Clinical and Translational Science (JCTS) 2022 Abstract Supplemental Volume 6 – Issue – s1 and the American Public Health Association’s (APHA) 2021 Poster Session – PS1042.0 School Health & Wellness: Promoting School Health through Innovative Programs and Partnerships was performed. Additionally, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), PubMed, and OVID databases were searched for relevant articles. In total, 3393 articles were provided by the search strategy and 114 remained after removal of the duplicates, title, and abstract screening. After full-text examination, 52 were included for analysis.
 Results: Of the 52 articles analyzed, 19 discussed pausing in-person coalition activities, 7 discussed member commitment or enthusiasm, 6 indicated decreased funding, 4 indicated a change in meeting frequency, and 1 indicated decreased attendance. Additionally, 42 articles mentioned incorporating technologies to communicate virtually. The three most common virtual communication methods were phone [voice call] (22), email (19), and unspecified (18). Twenty-three articles indicated new or existing health coalition partnerships were leveraged to rapidly establish trust with communities.
 Conclusions: Incorporating virtual communication technologies was commonly used to avoid communication disruptions during the pandemic, but the variable impacts should be considered in future public health crises. Furthermore, the study determined a viable option to rapidly establish trust with new communities may be leveraging existing−or creating new−partnerships with organizations that have long-standing ties with target communities.
 Impact and Implications: This paper serves as a resource for possible strategies that health coalitions can incorporate into their operations to potentially improve resilience in public health crises until additional research is conducted.

Effects of cysteine addition to low-fishmeal diets on the growth, anti-oxidative stress, intestine immunity, and Streptococcus agalactiae resistance in juvenile golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus).

As the precursor of taurine, cysteine serves physiological functions, such as anti-oxidative stress and immune improvement. Investigation of cysteine and its derivatives has made positive progress in avian and mammalian species, yet the study and application of cysteine in aquatic animals are relatively rare. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of supplementing a low-fishmeal diet with various levels of cysteine on the growth, antioxidant capacity, intestine immunity, and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae of the juvenile golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus). According to our study, exogenous supplementation with 0.6-1.2% cysteine greatly increased the final body weight (FBW) and specific growth rate (SGR) of golden pompano compared to the control group. Under the present conditions, the optimum dietary cysteine supplementation level for golden pompano was 0.91% based on the polynomial regression analysis of SGR. Meanwhile, we found that the Nrf2/Keap1/HO-1 signaling pathway was notably upregulated with the increase of exogenous cysteine, which increased antioxidant enzyme activity in serum and gene expression in the intestine and reduced the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the serum of golden pompano. In addition, morphological analysis of the midgut demonstrated that exogenous cysteine improved muscle thickness and villi length, which suggested that the physical barrier of the intestine was greatly strengthened by cysteine. Moreover, cysteine increased the diversity and relative abundance of the intestinal flora of golden pompano. Cysteine suppressed intestinal NF-κB/IKK/IκB signaling and pro-inflammatory cytokine mRNA levels. Conversely, intestinal anti-inflammatory cytokine gene expression and serum immune parameters were upregulated with the supplementary volume of cysteine and improved intestine immunity. Further, exogenous cysteine supplementation greatly reduced the mortality rate of golden pompano challenged with S. agalactiae. In general, our findings provide more valuable information and new insights into the rational use of cysteine in the culture of healthy aquatic animals.

Architecture and Settlement Dynamics in Central Germany from the Late Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age

The wealth of settlement evidence has supposed a decisive difference between prehistoric archaeology of the Mediterranean compared to that of Central Europe. This situation has changed substantially during recent years due to large scale rescue excavations carried out in central and eastern Germany. Individual houses as well as large settlement complexes have been systematically recorded and can now be dated to the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age. The catalogue of all ground plans discovered up to 2019 in the federal states of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia has recently been published as a supplementary volume of the proceedings of the conference ‘Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age Settlement Archaeology’, held in Halle (Saale) in October 2018. Based on the geographical distribution, shape, size, orientation, and dating of the more than 240 building ground plans, the present study examines the architecture and settlement development of the Corded Ware and Bell Beaker communities, as well as of the Únětice complex, between the rivers Saale and Elbe. This analysis offers new insight into the way of life of the first full metalworking societies of central Germany from the 3rd and first half of the 2nd millennium bce, which so far have mainly been approached through their outstanding, but numerically limited, funerary remains and hoards.

Experimental study on airfoil flow separation control via an air-supplement plasma synthetic jet

An air-supplement plasma synthetic jet (PSJ) actuator increases the air supplemental volume in the recovery stage and improves the jet energy by attaching a check valve to the chamber of a conventional actuator. To explore the flow control effect and mechanism of the air-supplement actuator, via particle image velocimetry experiments in a low-speed wind tunnel, the flow field and boundary layer characteristics of a two-dimensional airfoil surface under different actuation states were compared for different attack angles and jet orifices. The experimental results show that, compared with the conventional actuation state, the jet energy of the air-supplement PSJ is higher and the indirect mixing effect of the counter-vortex sequence produced by the jet-mainstream interaction is stronger. Furthermore, the boundary layer mixing effect is better, which can further suppress flow separation and improve the critical flow separation attack angle. Moreover, increasing the jet momentum coefficient can enhance the flow control effect. The findings of this study could provide guidance for the flow control application of air-supplement PSJs.

P-202 Improvement of in vitro implantation competence in human trophoblastic spheroids and mouse blastocysts by extracellular vesicles from human follicular fluid

Abstract Study question How do extracellular vesicles (EVs) from human follicular fluid (hFF) affect the implantation process? Summary answer The EVs from hFF support the migration of mouse blastocysts and improve the mRNA expression of implantation process in human trophoblastic spheroids and mouse blastocysts. What is known already The EVs in hFF contains proteins, mRNAs, and microRNAs (miRs) that can mediate intercellular communication. Some miRs were found to be enriched in EVs of hFF. It has been demonstrated that EVs play different and important roles in the reproductive process such as oocyte maturation, embryo development and implantation. However, the effects of EVs in hFF on the trophoblast migration of in vitro implantation competence remain unclear. We found and analyzed the enriched miRs in EVs of hFF and investigated the effects of EVs on the implantation competence using in vitro outgrowth models using human trophoblastic spheroids and mouse blastocysts. Study design, size, duration Mouse 2-cell embryos were collected and then further in vitro cultured up to blastocyst stage. We prepared spheroids with trophoblastic cells, JAr mixed JEG-3 cells (JmJ) of 1:1 ratio. For outgrowth assay, the culture dishes with fibronectin-coated were made 2 hrs before transferring trophoblastic spheroids and mouse blastocysts. After 72 hrs of outgrowth assay, the migration areas of trophoblasts were measured, and qRT-PCR and Western blot were analyzed. Participants/materials, setting, methods After collecting the hFF samples in IVF clinic, immediately the EVs were isolated using the conventional ultracentrifugation (UC) method, and stored at -80 °C. Amounts of specific miRNAs were analyzed to confirm the specific miRNA of EVs compared to hFF by qRT-PCR. Protein concentrations were determined and adjusted for supplementation volume. Main results and the role of chance The EVs from hFF were prepared by UC, and the size range of EVs were 20∼300 nm (average 136.9±5.6 nm; n = 10) in nanoparticle tracking analyzer. And the EVs were examined via transmission electron microscopy and Western blotting to the exosomal markers CD63, CD81, and TSG101. We conformed miRNAs that enriched in EVs from hFF such as miR10b, miR503, and miR654. In outgrowth assay with human trophoblastic spheroids, the migration areas did not show a difference between control and supplementation of EVs groups. However, the expressions of adhesion molecules ( ITGαV, β3 and β5 ) were increased in supplementation of 2.5 μg/mL EVs compared to control group. In mouse blastocysts, supplementation of EVs significantly increased the trophoblast migration areas than those of control group without EVs. Also the expression patterns of Oct4, Lif, PLGF5 were higher in supplementation of EVs compared to control group. Taken together, EVs from hFF could support the migration of human trophoblastic spheroids and mouse blastocysts in vitro. Limitations, reasons for caution Characterization of EVs from hFF was not fully evaluated in various proteins, hormones and nucleic acids. The effects of EVs in hFF on implantation process should be evaluated in primary trophoblastic cells and in vivo mouse model of embryo transfer. Wider implications of the findings This study demonstrated that the EVs of hFF could improve the implantation and migration of trophoblasts in vitro. These findings suggest that the EVs of hFF could apply to increase the implantation and the pregnancy rate in human IVF-ET program. Trial registration number not applicable

Scenario optimization of water supplement and outflow management in Yilong Lake based on the EFDC model

Abstract To address the problem of poor hydrodynamic conditions in Yilong Lake and to meet the water quality standards, the EFDC model was applied to propose an optimization plan for water supplement and outflow management of Yilong Lake. The model explores the impact of wind forcing, water supplement from external watersheds, outflow management and setting up an enclosure in the lake on the hydrodynamics in Yilong Lake. The results show that (1) the overall velocity of the water body of Yilong Lake is relatively slow, 90% of the area is lower than 0.01 m s−1, the central and eastern areas are faster and the western is slower. During the dry period and the wet periods of the year, improves the flow velocity of the water body in 90% of the area is increased by 80% compared to no wind velocity; (2) the increase in the amount of water supplement is significant for the improvement of the hydrodynamic conditions of water body; the water supplement volume at the two water supplement points of Mafangwan is conducive to improving the hydrodynamic conditions. If the total water supplement volume is increased by 10 million cubic meters per year which corresponds to water supplement volume increases at the Pubu and the Mafangwan by 33 and 35%, respectively, then water area with flow velocity greater than 0.007 m can be increased to 70%; (3) based on the demand for water quality, the water level management curves for different seasons are designed. It should be dominated by the eastern outflow, during the spring, coordinated by the southern and eastern outflows during the summer, and should be dominated by the southern outflow during the autumn and winter period.

Minimum effective volume of local anesthetic in peribulbar block: does it differ with the eyeball axial length?

BackgroundPeribulbar Anesthesia (PBA) is a relatively safe method for cataract surgery. The anesthetic volume should be adjusted according to the axial eyeball length. Thus, using Minimum Effective Volume (MEV) of local anesthetic helps avoiding unnecessary volumes, preventing increases in intra-ocular pressure, and producing satisfactory conditions for cataract surgery. This study aims to determine the MEV90 of local anesthetics in relation to eye globe axial length in peribulbar blocks for cataract surgery. MethodsPatients scheduled for cataract extraction under local anesthesia were divided according to their axial eyeball length; Group 1 included those with axial length from 22 to 24 mm, Group 2 included patients with axial length from 24.1 to 26 mm. The initial volume used was 7 mL of a solution of bupivacaine 0.5% (3 mL) + lidocaine 2% (3 mL) + hyaluronidase 150 IU (1 mL). The subsequent volumes were dependent on the response of the previous patient, by using a Bias Coin Design (BCD) and Up and Down Method (UDM) for MEV-90 determination. ResultsThe study was concluded with 119 patients. Sixteen patients needed supplemental volume of local anesthetic in Group 1 and thirteen in Group 2. The MEV90 for Group 1 was approximately 5.82 mL (95% CI 5.6 to 5.87 mL) and 5.45 mL for Group 2 (95% CI 5.38 to 5.91 mL). No major complications were noted. There was a negative correlation between the effective volume of LA and eye globe axial length in both groups (p = 0.001). ConclusionThe MEV90 of local anesthetics for peribulbar block show a strong and inverse correlation with eye globe axial length. This may help achieving an effective block with minimum complications.

From Blue Book to White Book: The Hutchins Commission and Llewellyn White’s The American Radio

This article explores the publication and reception of The American Radio (1947), one of the five supplementary volumes of the Hutchins Commission (the Commission on the Freedom of the Press), written by staff researcher Llewellyn White. It explores the background of the Hutchins Commission and the contexts for its far-reaching recommendations for the restructuring of US broadcasting. It also documents the contemporary response to The American Radio, and considers the extent to which it offered an alternative pathway for American media ecology that in the event was not taken.

Bilateral Tip Add-On Grafts: Concept, Applications and Complications in East Asian Rhinoplasty.

A solid tip support plays the fundamental role in augmentation rhinoplasty for East Asians. However, the soft tissue envelope is sometimes limited; the bilateral alae and mucosae cannot be transposed to consolidate the full course of the strut. A graft thatserves for the ultimate purpose of elongating the valid length of the strutis therefore necessary. Forty-one female patients, ranging in age from 19 to 35 years (average 26.5 years), received augmentation rhinoplasty surgery that was supplemented by the applications of the bilateral accessory add-on tip grafts. The tip projection was established by columellar strut or septal extension grafts. These crescent-shaped grafts acted like a bridge between the alae and the strut, which aim to provide supplementary volume and surface area to help reduce tension and further define the width and shape of the nasal tip. Patients' own evaluations on the overall improvements of the nose rendered high satisfaction rate. During the follow-up, six cases presented deviated columella and asymmetrical nostrils; three cases had deformed dorsal profile due to graft warping or resorption at 12 to 18-month period postoperatively, and were corrected during revision surgeries. No other major complications were encountered. These accessory tip add-on grafts are intrinsically applicable for East Asians rhinoplasty surgeries. Instead of being utilized as a routine graft for normal circumstances, this pair of accessory tips is an expedient measure to solve a difficult situation. This graft will be particularly necessary in managing a severely short nose with interior soft tissue insufficiency. This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
