Aspects of the behaviour of parts-of-speech in Italian texts
No full textThe present article is a continuation of the analysis performed in Tuzzi, Popescu, Altmann (2010). Here the parts-of-speech have been scrutinized. Their rank-frequency distributions have been characterized using the Repeat rate, the Entropy and Ord’s criterion. The ranking of POS with individual Italian presidents has been used to characterize the homogeneity individually and as a whole of 63 texts using Kendall’s concordance coefficient. There is high concordance. The last aspect is the computation of distances between identical parts-of-speech which yield a very unique picture represented by the Zipf-Alekseev function
Disturbance of cerebral function in people exposed to drinking water contaminated with aluminium sulphate: retrospective study of the Camelford water incident
No full textObjective: To establish whether people exposed to drinking water contaminated with 20 tonnes of aluminium sulphate in the Camelford area of Cornwall in the south west of England in July 1988 had suffered organic brain damage as opposed to psychological trauma only.
Design: Retrospective study of affected people.
Participants: 55 affected people and 15 siblings nearest in age to one of the group but who had not been exposed to the contaminated water were studied.
Main outcome measures: Various clinical and psychological tests to determine medical condition and anxiety levels in affected people. Assessment of premorbid IQ (pFSIQ) with the national adult reading test, a computerised battery of psychomotor testing, and measurement of the difference in latencies between the flash and pattern visual evoked potentials in all participants.
Results: The mean (SE) pFSIQ was above average at 114.4 (1.1). The most sensitive of the psychomotor tests for organic brain disease was the symbol digit coding (SDC) test (normal score 100, abnormal less than 85). Participants performed less well on this test (54.5 (6.0)) than expected from their pFSIQ (Pless than 0.0001) and a little less poorly on the averaged less discriminating tests within the battery (86.1 (2.5), Pless than 0.0001). In a comparison with the 15 sibling pairs (affected people's age 41.0 (3.3) years vsibling age of 42.7 (3.1) years (P=0.36) the exposed people had similar pFSIQ (114.7 (2.1)) to their siblings (116.3 (2.1), (P=0.59) but performed badly on the symbol digit coding test (51.8 (16.6)) v(87.5 (4.9) for siblings, P=0.03). The flash-pattern differences in exposed people were greater than in 42 unrelated control subjects of similar age (27.33 (1.64) ms v18.57 (1.47) ms, P=0.0002). The 15 unexposed siblings had significantly better flash-pattern differences than their affected siblings (13.4 (2.4) ms v29.6 (2.9) ms, P=0.0002). No effect of anxiety could be shown on these measurements from the analysis of the anxiety scores of exposed people.
Conclusion: People who were exposed to the contaminated water at Camelford suffered considerable damage to cerebral function, which was not related to anxiety. Follow up studies would be required to determine the longer term prognosis for affected individuals
Purity, taboo and food in antiquity: theoretical and methodological issues
No full textThe essays analyize similarities and differences between Lev 11 and Deut 14 in their respective contexts. Utilizing the theoretical perspective provided by Dan Sperber, the essay fleshes out the significance of the diachronic and synchronic difference with regard to the genesis of the prohibitions as well as their reception in Judais
