Classification, headedness and pluralization: Corpus evidence from French compounds

This study examines the relation between headedness and pluralization in French compounds attested in a newspaper corpus. It leans on the classification of compounds proposed by Bisetto and Scalise (2005) that distinguishes between subordinate, attributive or coordinate, and additionally, endocentric or exocentric. However, as to what item constitutes a compound in French, it follows the much more restricted definition of Corbin (1992), inter alia . My result indicates that French compounds exhibit double marking, i.e., both on the head and externally, as to pluralization. In a larger perspective, this result can indicate a tendency towards external pluralization in French

An Adaptable Approach for Successful SIEM Adoption in Companies

In corporations around the world, the topic of cybersecurity and information security is becoming increasingly important as the number of cyberattacks on themselves continues to grow. Nowadays, it is no longer just a matter of protecting against cyberattacks, but rather of detecting such attacks at an early stage and responding accordingly. There is currently no generic methodological approach for the implementation of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems that takes academic aspects into account and can be applied independently of the product or developers of the systems. Applying Hevner's design science research approach, the goal of this paper is to develop a holistic procedure model for implementing respective SIEM systems in corporations. According to the study during the validation phase, the procedure model was verified to be applicable. As desire for future research, the procedure model should be applied in various implementation projects in different enterprises to analyze its applicability and completeness.Comment: Submitted to the AC2023 Conferenc

Psicanálise com crianças: a legitimidade de um campo

Borrowing from J. Laplanche body of thought the concept of enigmatic significant and the genemi seduction theory, this article brings forth matters related to the inclusion of parents in children psychoanalysis. As we know, it is not only the symbolic or imaginary parents who circulates within the psychoanalytic setting, real parents also do so, compelling the analyst to work at the very boundaries between reality and phantasy. From this perspective, we believe the psychoanalysis process produces rearrangements and reditions, which may very well benefitfrom actual parents presence.Este artigo discute as questões relativas à inclusão dos pais na psicanálise com crianças, -tomando do pensamento de Laplanche o conceito de significante enigmático e a teoria da sedução generalizada. Sabemos que não só os pais simbólicos ou imaginários circulam pelo espaço da cuba analítica; também os pais reais aceleram as partículas deste recinto, obrigando-nos a trabalhar na fronteira entre a realidade e o fantasma. Desta perspectiva, pensamos que o processo da cura produz retranscrições e reordenamentos, facilitados às vezes pela presença dos pais

Hepatitis B Virus and B-cell lymphoma: evidence, unmet need, clinical impact, and opportunities

Nearly a billion people worldwide are infected with the hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and about a third of them have chronic infection. HBV is an important cause of morbidity and mortality, including acute and chronic hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Screening and control of primary HBV infection through vaccination represent a major advance in global public health, but large sections of the world population, in both developed and underdeveloped countries, remain unscreened and unvaccinated. In addition to being a global cause of liver disease, an important role of HBV in lymphoma has also emerged. First, the high risk of HBV reactivation in previously infected patients receiving chemo-immunotherapy necessitates the systematic evaluation of HBV serological status in all non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) cases and preemptive antiviral therapy for those who may have chronic or occult HBV infection. Second, HBV has been shown to infect lymphocytes, namely B-cells, and has been associated with a higher risk of developing B-cell lymphoma, most clearly in countries where HBV is endemic. While the risk of HBV reactivation with chemoimmunotherapy in NHL is well known, the role and the impact of HBV as a global lymphoma risk factor and potential oncogenic driver in B-cells are very poorly understood. Here, we review the clinical and scientific evidence supporting an association between HBV and B-cell lymphoma, with a particular focus on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and provide an overview of the estimated impact of HBV infection on the biology and clinical course of DLBCL. We also discuss ways to gain a better insight into the unmet need posed by HBV in lymphoma and whether assessing immune responses to HBV, measuring viral loads, and detecting the presence of HBV-encoded proteins in tumor tissue could be integrated into the molecular and clinical risk stratification of patients with DLBCL

High-pulse energy supercontinuum laser for high-resolution spectroscopic photoacoustic imaging of lipids in the 1650-1850 nm region

We propose a cost-effective high-pulse energy supercontinuum (SC) source based on a telecom range diode laser-based amplifier and a few meters of standard single-mode optical fiber, with a pulse energy density as high as ∼25 nJ/nm in the 1650-1850 nm regime (factor >3 times higher than any SC source ever used in this wavelength range). We demonstrate how such an SC source combined with a tunable filter allows high-resolution spectroscopic photoacoustic imaging and the spectroscopy of lipids in the first overtone transition band of C-H bonds (1650-1850 nm). We show the successful discrimination of two different lipids (cholesterol and lipid in adipose tissue) and the photoacoustic cross-sectional scan of lipid-rich adipose tissue at three different locations. The proposed high-pulse energy SC laser paves a new direction towards compact, broadband and cost-effective source for spectroscopic photoacoustic imaging

Effects of Conflict-related Sexual Violence on Kinship Networks: Case of Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh

With the outset in feminist theory on wartime rape (Brownmiller, 1975) this paper iluminates how kinship networks are affected by conflict-related sexual violence. Following feminist scholars we argue that one way conflict-related sexual violence is intened to damage communities is by destroying their cohesion. An analysis of kinship relations of Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh indicates that members of the community post refuge struggle to protect “the conjugal order” (MacKenzie, 2010) and social norms related to family and marriage. Attempting to avoid the shame and stigmatisation of sexual violence, kinship networks are being reevaluated in order to protect both the family’s honour and the survivors. This is done for example by shunning survivors or making use of corrective measures like child marriage and restrictions on women’s movement. Thus, when women are subjected to conflict-related sexual violence they are victimized twice: first through the experience of sexual violence during conflict, then by stigmatisation post conflict

The Use of Virtual Reality Facilitates Dialectical Behavior Therapy® “Observing Sounds and Visuals” Mindfulness Skills Training Exercises for a Latino Patient with Severe Burns: A Case Study

Sustaining a burn injury increases an individual’s risk of developing psychological problems such as generalized anxiety, negative emotions, depression, acute stress disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder. Despite the growing use of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy® (DBT®) by clinical psychologists, to date, there are no published studies using standard DBT® or DBT® skills learning for severe burn patients. The current study explored the feasibility and clinical potential of using Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) enhanced DBT® mindfulness skills training to reduce negative emotions and increase positive emotions of a patient with severe burn injuries. The participant was a hospitalized (in house) 21-year-old Spanish speaking Latino male patient being treated for a large (>35% TBSA) severe flame burn injury. Methods: The patient looked into a pair of Oculus Rift DK2 virtual reality goggles to perceive the computer-generated virtual reality illusion of floating down a river, with rocks, boulders, trees, mountains, and clouds, while listening to DBT® mindfulness training audios during 4 VR sessions over a 1 month period. Study measures were administered before and after each VR session. Results: As predicted, the patient reported increased positive emotions and decreased negative emotions. The patient also accepted the VR mindfulness treatment technique. He reported the sessions helped him become more comfortable with his emotions and he wanted to keep using mindfulness after returning home. Conclusions: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is an empirically validated treatment approach that has proved effective with non-burn patient populations for treating many of the psychological problems experienced by severe burn patients. The current case study explored for the first time, the use of immersive virtual reality enhanced DBT® mindfulness skills training with a burn patient. The patient reported reductions in negative emotions and increases in positive emotions, after VR DBT® mindfulness skills training. Immersive Virtual Reality is becoming widely available to mainstream consumers, and thus has the potential to make this treatment available to a much wider number of patient populations, including severe burn patients. Additional development, and controlled studies are needed

Primary Care Provider Awareness and Attitudes Regarding Updated BRCA1/2 Screening Recommendations and Genetic Testing

Detection of BRCA1/2 gene mutations opens the door for breast cancer prevention; however, many high-risk individuals are not screened until after their first cancer diagnosis. The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) updated its BRCA1/2 screening recommendations in 2019. This study explores provider awareness of this update and attitudes towards BRCA1/2 genetic testing. A survey was sent to Obstetrics/ Gynecology (Ob/Gyn), Internal Medicine (IM), and Family Medicine (FM) providers at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals (TJUH). 66% of responders felt familiar with BRCA1/2 screening guidelines, and 38% were aware of the 2019 USPSTF update. Ob/Gyn providers were more familiar with BRCA1/2 screening recommendations compared to IM and FM providers (p= 0.003). PCP concerns centered around the potential for negative psychological and financial impact, unnecessary testing, and test result uncertainty. Results highlight the need to increase provider awareness of BRCA1/2 screening measures and guidelines while addressing concerns regarding the impact of genetic testing on patients
