A felvidéki soltészfalvakról
No full textThe aim of the author in this essay is to analize some terms: more Scultetorum, sub iure Saxonum, iuxta consuetudinem Scepus. She comes to the conclusion that these words usually indicated those „hospes"-\awy which originally were brought into the Hugarian Kingdom by German „hospites" and were completed with Hungarian characteristics. These terms were also used as the name of the elements of the „hospes"-law
Formative synonymia of adjectives in dialects – selected interpretative issue.
No full textAutor prezentuje wybrane problemy analizy odprzymiotnikowych derywatów, które wchodzą w relacje synonimii słowotwórczej. Na przykładzie występujących w gwarach Polski centralnej przymiotników ekspresywnych oraz oznaczających intensyfikację cechy lub jej osłabienie omawia trudności związane z interpretacją znaczenia derywatów oraz funkcji formantów, które je tworzą. Przymiotniki oznaczające wysoki stopień natężenia danej cechy tworzą szeregi synonimów bliskoznacznych, których formanty, pełnią różną funkcję – ekspresywną (np. -uchny, -uśki, -utki, -usi, -usieńki) oraz wzmacniającą i wyolbrzymiającą nazywaną cechę (np. -chny, -achny, -alachny, -aśny, -aśki). Szczególną uwagę zwraca się na kontekst, który odgrywa podstawową rolę w prawidłowym odczytaniu znaczenia przymiotników o znaczeniu cechy niepełnej. Jest on podstawowym narzędziem selekcji materiału, w którym te same formanty (np. -awy, przy-, przy-/-awy) tworzą derywaty wskazujące na osłabienie cechy podstawowej oraz jej nadmiar.The author presents selected issues of an analysis of adjectival derivatives which are parts of formative synonymia. She discusses difficulties with the interpretation of the meaning of derivatives and the function of the formants that create them. The analysis is based on expressive adjectives that indicate intensification and weakening of a feature. These adjectives occur in the dialects of central Poland. The adjectives indicating a high degree of intensity of a given feature result in a number of synonyms whose formants fulfil different functions: expressive (e.g. -uchny, -uśki, -utki, -usi, -usieńki), strengthening and exaggerating (e.g. -chny, -achny, -alachny, -aśny, -aśki). Special attention has been paid to the context that plays a primary role in the understanding of adjectives of an incomplete feature. It is a major tool of selecting the material in which the same formants (e.g. -awy, przy-, przy-/-awy) create derivatives indicating the weakening or excess of the primary feature
Effect of original water content in acrylic resin on processing shrinkage
No full textPurpose: The aim of this study was to determine the original water content of a supplied acrylic resin powder and a monomer and of dry heat-processed acrylic bars. The effect of the original water content of acrylic resin on processing shrinkage was also investigated. Materials and Methods: Ten bar specimens were fabricated using dried and as-supplied (control) acrylic resins. The resins were polymerized and cooled, then weighed and measured to determine the amount of shrinkage. The initial water content of the specimens was determined by thorough drying, and results were compared with the Student t test. Results: The initial water content and processing shrinkage of the dried acrylic resin bars were both significantly lower (P < .0001) than those of the as-supplied acrylic resin bars. Conclusion: The processing shrinkage of acrylic resin made from dried constituents was significantly less than that of resin made from products as supplied by the manufacturer. However, it is not known if this change is of clinical significance
Review of anaesthetic management for cataract surgery in transplant recipients
No full text\ua9 The Author(s) 2020. The prevalence of transplantation is on the increase worldwide. Corneal transplantation is the most common form of human donor transplantation. Transplantation of other organs and bone marrow is established treatment for various end-organ failure and many haematological conditions, respectively. Success and survival of these patients have increased with advances in immunosuppression. Unfortunately, these patients are susceptible to cataract formation as a consequence of immunosuppressive therapy and accelerated progression of several diseases. Topical anaesthesia and regional ophthalmic blocks are ideal for cataract surgery in cooperative adults. General anaesthesia may be required in children, for extremely anxious or claustrophobic adults and for complex surgery such as simultaneous cataract and corneal transplantation. The perioperative anaesthetic management of cataract surgery in a transplant recipient is no different to a standard technique in a healthy adult, but additional challenges are posed by the underlying pathology necessitating transplantation, function of the transplanted organ, physiological and pharmacological problems of allograft denervation, side-effects of immunosuppression, risk of infection and potential for rejection. This narrative review summarises optimal anaesthetic management in transplant recipients undergoing cataract surgery
Misalignment Between Perceptual Boundaries and Weight Categories Reflects a New Normal for Body Size Perception
No full text© 2021, The Author(s). Combatting the current global epidemic of obesity requires that people have a realistic understanding of what a healthy body size looks like. This is a particular issue in different population sub-groups, where there may be increased susceptibility to obesity-related diseases. Prior research has been unable to systematically assess body size judgement due to a lack of attention to gender and race; our study aimed to identify the contribution of these factors. Using a data-driven multi-variate decision tree approach, we varied the gender and race of image stimuli used, and included the same diversity among participants. We adopted a condition-rich categorization visual task and presented participants with 120 unique body images. We show that gender and weight categories of the stimuli affect accuracy of body size perception. The decision pattern reveals biases for male bodies, in which participants showed an increasing number of errors from leaner to bigger bodies, particularly under-estimation errors. Participants consistently mis-categorized overweight male bodies as normal weight, while accurately categorizing normal weight. Overweight male bodies are now perceived as part of an expanded normal: the perceptual boundary of normal weight has become wider than the recognized BMI category. For female bodies, another intriguing pattern emerged, in which participants consistently mis-categorized underweight bodies as normal, whilst still accurately categorizing normal female bodies. Underweight female bodies are now in an expanded normal, in opposite direction to that of males. Furthermore, an impact of race type and gender of participants was also observed. Our results demonstrate that perceptual weight categorization is multi-dimensional, such that categorization decisions can be driven by ultiple factors.University of Tennessee Health Science Centre; Brunel University London

No full textComparison between Accelerometer and Gyroscope in Predicting Level-Ground Running Kinematics by Treadmill Running Kinematics Using a Single Wearable Sensor
No full textWearable sensors facilitate running kinematics analysis of joint kinematics in real running environments. The use of a few sensors or, ideally, a single inertial measurement unit (IMU) is preferable for accurate gait analysis. This study aimed to use a convolutional neural network (CNN) to predict level-ground running kinematics (measured by four IMUs on the lower extremities) by using treadmill running kinematics training data measured using a single IMU on the anteromedial side of the right tibia and to compare the performance of level-ground running kinematics predictions between raw accelerometer and gyroscope data. The CNN model performed regression for intraparticipant and interparticipant scenarios and predicted running kinematics. Ten recreational runners were recruited. Accelerometer and gyroscope data were collected. Intraparticipant and interparticipant R2 values of actual and predicted running kinematics ranged from 0.85 to 0.96 and from 0.7 to 0.92, respectively. Normalized root mean squared error values of actual and predicted running kinematics ranged from 3.6% to 10.8% and from 7.4% to 10.8% in intraparticipant and interparticipant tests, respectively. Kinematics predictions in the sagittal plane were found to be better for the knee joint than for the hip joint, and predictions using the gyroscope as the regressor were demonstrated to be significantly better than those using the accelerometer as the regressor.published_or_final_versio
