Deverbal nominals in Kiswahili: Underspecification morphology and the lexicon
No full textThis study provides an explicit account of the lexical entries and rules required to generate five common types of Kiswahili nouns based on verbal roots and stems, as illustrated by the data below, all derived from -kata 'cut'. (UNFORMATTED TABLE OR EQUATION FOLLOWS)\vbox{\halign{#\hfil&&\enspace#\hfil\cr&a.&Action Nominals in -{\it o}:&{\it mkato/mikato\/}&`cut(s)'\cr&b.&Transitive Verbals in -{\it a}:&{\it mkata/wakata}&`cutter(s)'\cr&c.&Relic Agentives in -{\it i}:&{\it mkati/wakati}&`cutter(s)'\cr&d.&Productive Agentives in -{\it aji}:&{\it mkataji/wakataji}&`cutter(s)'\cr&e.&Patient Nominals in -{\it e}:&{\it mkate/mikate}&`lump(s), loaf/loaves'\cr}}(TABLE/EQUATION ENDS)Underspecification Theory as developed by Archangeli & Pulleyblank (1986) is adopted to aid in this descriptive task. A rigorous analysis of the Kiswahili phoneme set is provided in this framework, with underspecified and fully specified representations of all phonemes as well as explicit default and complement rules. A detailed account of various types of prefix allomorphy is included, both for inherent nouns and for derived nominals.The apparent simplicity of the data above is deceptive, even disregarding the account provided of the stem and suffix allomorphy associated with the Relic Agentives. Issues confronted in the description include semantic drift, blocking, percolation, questions of derivational source, and archaic roots. A particular focus of the study is to streamline the lexical entries by avoiding the explicit specification of redundant features of all kinds.An innovation in the research is the application of the principles of Underspecification Theory beyond the phonology to capture redundancies in and among the morphological, semantic, and syntactic features and representations. To develop and illustrate this approach, a set of four binary morphological features is proposed to capture the Kiswahili noun-class system. A further innovation is the use of Lexical Cross-References (LXRefs) which capture generalizations relating to morphological complexes while allowing redundant information to be filled in automatically.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:59:06Z (GMT).

Religijos tema XX a. anglų metafizinėje poezijoje (naujosios apokalipsės poezija 1939–1941 m.)
No full textThe paper analyzes the transformation of the themes, poetics and stylistics of metaphysical poetry in the works of H. Treece, J. F. Hendry, N. Moore, T. Scott et al. associated with the Apocalyptic Movement in British literature. The material for the analysis is taken from their second anthology, “The White Horseman”, published in 1941. The poetry of the New Apocalypse is considered in comparison with the works of British and continental metaphysical poets of the 17th, 19th and 20th centuries (R. Crashaw, F. de Quevedo, G. M. Hopkins, et al). The main focus is on the theme of religion. The paper explains the new configuration of traditional key themes (Religion, Death and Time, Love) in the works of the 20th century poets, and shows new details in their interpretation of the relations between God and man. The research concentrates on the development of certain motifs such as ‘the death of God’ (a motif known since Victorian times), and demonstrates several new accents brought to traditional issues within the theme of religion (e.g. the desolation of human being). The paper also considers the new developments in the field of traditional poetics and stylistics of metaphysical poetry. The author analyzes the use of gospel paraphrases, polysemantic words and expressions, examples or word- play, etc. in the religious poetry of the Apocalyptic Movement

Análise da tradução de primeiras estórias de Guimarães Rosa: o efeito estético
No full textEsta tese analisa a tradução de Primeiras Estórias, de Guimarães Rosa, para a língua inglesa e tem como foco principal o efeito estético de seu projeto literário. Após breve panorama sobre a obra do autor, bem como acerca dos Estudos da Tradução, a base teórica do trabalho é construída a partir de CAMPOS (1963), que explica sobre a transformação de informação estética em semântica, sobre o conceito de máquina da tradução, de transcriação e das consequências das escolhas dos tradutores e em LLOYD (2014) e o conceito de multidimensionalidade, que ratifica a importância da análise de elementos culturais na tradução. A análise da obra será feita a partir da comparação de trechos do livro em língua portuguesa e de traduções de três autores em língua inglesa: The Third Bank of the River and Other Stories, produzida em 1968 por Barbara Shelby, a única que traduz toda a coletânea; The Jaguar, feita por David Treece em 2001, que contém seis narrativas de Primeiras Estórias e ainda outras três do livro Estas Estórias, também de Guimarães Rosa, lançado postumamente; e ainda a primeira tradução produzida a partir de Primeiras Estórias pelas mãos de William Grossman em 1967 para uma coletânea de autores brasileiros intitulada Modern Brazilian Short Stories. A análise é feita considerando a postura dos tradutores quando expostos aos fenômenos textuais mais representativos do projeto estético rosiano, tais como o uso de neologismos, dinamizações, oralidade e outros experimentalismos linguísticos.Abstract: This thesis analyzes the translation of Primeiras Estórias, by Guimarães Rosa, to the English Language and it has as focus the aesthetic effect of his literary project. After a brief panorama about the author?s work, as well as concerning the Translation Studies, the theoretical foundation of this work is based on CAMPOS (1963), who explains about the change of aesthetic information into semantic, about the concept of translation machine, of transcriation and the consequences of translator?s choices and LLOYD (2014) and the concept of multidimensionality, which certifies the importance of the analysis of cultural elements on translation. The work?s analysis will be made through the comparison of excerpts from the book in Portuguese language and the translations of three authors in English language: The Third Bank of the River and Other Stories, produced in 1968 by Barbara Shelby, the only one which translates the whole collection; The Jaguar, made by David Treece in 2001, that contains six narratives of Primeiras Estórias and three others from the book Estas Estórias, also by Guimarães Rosa, posthumously released; and also the first translation produced from Primeiras Estórias by the hands of William Grossman in 1967 to a collection of Brazilian authors entitled Modern Brazilian Short Stories. The analysis is made considering the translator?s position when exposed to the most representative textual phenomena of the rosian aesthetic project, such as the use of neologisms, dynamizations, orality and other linguistic experimentalisms
Treatment Allocation and Survival in Patients Diagnosed with Nonmetastatic Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer: An Analysis of a National Patient Cohort in England
No full textBACKGROUND: UK Bladder cancer survival remains low. Nonmetastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is potentially curable. It is unclear how many patients receive nonradical treatment owing to advanced age, comorbidities, or alternative factors. OBJECTIVE: To describe treatments and assess survival by disease stage and sex for all newly diagnosed nonmetastatic MIBC in England in 2016, and to observe associations between comorbidities and treatments. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: All new nonmetastatic MIBC diagnoses in England in 2016 were identified retrospectively using National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service, Radiotherapy Datasets, Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy, and Hospital Episode Statistics databases. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Age, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and treatments were ascertained, and 1-yr survival was estimated using Pohar-Perme and Kaplan-Meier methods. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Nonmetastatic MIBC diagnoses were registered for 2519 patients (median age 76 yr). Radical cystectomy was performed in 24%, 37% of whom received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Radical radiotherapy was performed in 29%, 48% of whom received NAC. NAC alongside radical treatment was associated with higher 1-yr overall survival (OS)-91% (88-93%) with NAC and 83% (80-85%) without (p = 0.05). Nonradical treatments occurred for 47%, with corresponding lower OS. Females with stage II and III disease had significantly lower net survival (NS). Radically treated patients had lower CCIs. CONCLUSIONS: This analysis provides an overview of all nonmetastatic MIBC diagnosed in England in 2016. Just over half of the patients received curative-intent treatment. Of them, only 43% received NAC. One-year OS was disparate, correlating with treatment intensity. Those receiving NAC and radical therapy demonstrated highest OS. Female patients had significantly inferior NS. The data highlight a prescient unmet research need to understand the patient demographic and reasons behind treatment allocation, to address the poor survival observed in those treated nonradically, and the low NAC utilisation. The significantly aged population requires specific future focus. PATIENT SUMMARY: We looked at all patients in England in 2016 who were diagnosed with bladder cancer invading the bladder muscle. Many patients were elderly, and the most intensive treatments aiming for cure were frequently not used. Survival in women was found to be considerably worse, as was survival for less intensively treated patients.Published version, accepted version (12 month embargo)Supports Open Acces

No full textA cry for kelp: Evidence for polyphenolic inhibition of Oxford Nanopore sequencing of brown algae
No full text\ua9 2024 The Author(s). Journal of Phycology published by Wiley Periodicals LLC on behalf of Phycological Society of America.Genomic resources have yielded unprecedented insights into ecological and evolutionary processes, not to mention their importance in economic and conservation management of specific organisms. However, the field of macroalgal genomics is hampered by difficulties in the isolation of suitable DNA. Even when DNA that appears high quality by standard metrics has been isolated, such samples may not perform well during the sequencing process. We here have compared Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing results for three species of macroalgae to those of nonmacroalgal species and determined that when using macroalgal samples, sequencing activity declined rapidly, resulting in reduced sequencing yield. Chemical analysis of macroalgal DNA that would be considered suitable for sequencing revealed that DNA derived from dried macroalgae was enriched for polyphenol–DNA adducts (DNA with large polyphenols chemically attached to it), which may have led to sequencing inhibition. Of note, we observed the strongest evidence of sequencing inhibition and reduced sequence output when using samples dried using silica gel—suggesting that such storage approaches may not be appropriate for samples destined for Oxford Nanopore sequencing. Our findings have wide-ranging implications for the generation of genomic resources from macroalgae and suggest a need to develop new storage methods that are more amenable to Oxford Nanopore sequencing or to use fresh flash-frozen tissue wherever possible for genome sequencing
