Automatic morphological parsing of Old Irish verbs using finite-state transducers
No full textThe topic of this paper constitutes the main part of a recently finished Ph.D. project carried out by the author which investigates how computational methods can be employed to map cognate verb forms in Early Irish (ca. 7th–12th centuries A.D.) and Modern Irish (ca. 1200 onwards). This paper discusses the development of a finite-state morphological transducer using foma (Hulden, 2009) for the Old Irish language (ca. 7th–9th centuries A.D.), focusing on verbs. Two main challenges are discussed. First, different practices of word segmentation have significant repercussions for the encoding of dependencies both on and beyond the word level. A second challenge is complex verb stem formation and considerable stem allomorphy. This has been tackled by operating with “monolithic stem” entries for each verb lemma, i.e., synchronic, invariable hard-coded stems, representing a semi-surface-level base form
A medicine for the Archduchess of Innsbruck
No full textBy Sietske Fransen, with Saskia Klerk. Two months ago Saskia Klerk discussed a recipe for the breaking of a bladder stone. It seems that the author of manuscript BPL3603 included this recipe into his collection because of the wonderful curative properties it proved to possess according to the eyewitness accounts documented in the text. On pages 117 and 118 of the same manuscript we find an ‘Excellent recipe against all ailments and diseases that have their origin in corrupt blood and bad humo..

Automatic morphological analysis and interlinking of historical Irish cognate verb forms
No full textThe main aim of the author’s research project is to use computational approaches
to gain more insight into the historical development of Irish verbs. One of the objectives is to investigate how a link between the electronic Dictionary of the Irish
language (eDIL),1 covering the period c. 700–c. 1700, but focussing on Early Irish
(7th–12th centuries), and the nascent Foclóir Stairiúil na Gaeilge ‘The Historical
Dictionary of Irish’,
2 covering the period 1600–2000, could be implemented. Such
a link will be hugely beneficial for scholars operating at the intersection of the medieval and modern period (see Table 1), who currently lack a comprehensive lexical resource for the “intermediate” early modern period.This paper stems from research carried out during a
Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship (GOIPG/2017/1808) funded by
the Irish Research Council. The author would also like to acknowledge the
anonymous reviewer for helpful feedback and the editors for seeing this publication through.Peer reviewe

Evidence-based framework for the development of young athletes in a national sports context
No full textThe development of young athletes continues to be a key concern for sports organizations, coaches and policy makers. In Sweden, the public debate on the balance between early talent promotion programs and more inclusive, long-term athlete development models has recently intensified. This discussion reflects the general global tensions within youth sport systems between high performance ambitions and the goal of lifelong sport, as well as other societal goals related to sport. Taking the Swedish context as a starting point, this perspective article explores the challenges and opportunities in integrating early talent promotion with sustainable athlete development frameworks. While the Swedish case provides the empirical context, the findings and recommendations presented are intended to inform broader international and national debates. We argue that evidence-based youth sport systems can support both elite performance and broader participation goals simultaneously. We propose a nuanced, evidence-based approach that recognizes the complexity of youth athlete development and the importance of aligning scientific evidence with local cultural and organizational contexts. The focus is on creating sport environments that support athlete well-being, intrinsic motivation and diverse opportunities for participation. Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all solution, this article highlights principles to help national federations and clubs design systems that promote both elite performance and broad participation. Ultimately, sustainable athlete development requires contextual governance, continuous evaluation and a commitment to promoting both performance goals and the wider benefits of sport.Copyright (c) 2025 Tommy Lundberg, John Lind, Joseph Baker, Erik Lundqvist, Alex Lascu, Kathryn Johnston, Jean Côté, Job Fransen, Andreas Ivarsson.

Predictors of Chronic Dizziness in Acute Unilateral Vestibulopathy: A Longitudinal Prospective Cohort Study
No full textObjectiveChronic dizziness after acute unilateral vestibulopathy (AUVP) causes significant social and economic burdens. This study aims to identify predictors of chronic dizziness. Study DesignProspective, longitudinal cohort study. SettingENT departments from secondary and tertiary hospitals. MethodsParticipants meeting the Barany Society's diagnostic criteria for AUVP were included. Evaluations occurred within 0 to 21 days (T1), and at 4 (T2) and 10 weeks (T3) postonset. The primary outcome measure was the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) at 6 months, with a score >30 indicating chronic dizziness. Five clusters of predictors were assessed at T1-3: central vestibular compensation, visual dependence, movement exposure, psychological factors, and balance performance. Separate linear regression models for T1, T2, and T3 were constructed to explain the variability in the 6-month DHI score. Receiver operating characteristics analyses were conducted to predict chronic dizziness. ResultsFrom June 2021 to January 2024, 103 participants (55.2 +/- 16.6 years old, 49 women) were included. The regression models explained the variability in the 6-month DHI score by 33.0% at T1, 47.6% at T2, and 64.0% at T3 (P < .001), including psychological factors (T1, T2, T3), visual dependence (T2, T3), and static balance performance (T3). Cutoff values for the Vestibular Activities Avoidance Instrument (23/54), Visual Vertigo Analog Scale (33.5/100), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety (7.5/21) at 10 weeks postonset predicted chronic dizziness. ConclusionHigher psychological burden, increased visual dependence, and poorer static balance performance were associated with chronic dizziness. Cutoff values were determined to identify individuals with AUVP at risk for chronic dizziness.The authors would like to thank the participants of the study and the Jessa Hospital (Hasselt, Belgium), and Rehabilitation Center Sint‐Lievenspoort (Ghent, Belgium) for their help in the recruitment and their guidance throughout our research project
