abstractCommunicating information about our affective states is an important aspect of utterance meaning. Affective meanings can be expressed either explicitly or in an implicit way, for example by using particular linguistic structures likeCreative Total Reduplication(CTR), the intentional and immediate repetition of a word (“It’s alittle littlecat”). We claim that, in addition to its explicit meaning (‘very little’), CTR conveys an affective meaning reflecting the speaker’s evaluation of the world as good or bad, pleasant or unpleasant (“It’s acute littlecat”). The experiment reported here used a verification task with judgments of consistency. It aimed at verifying two hypotheses: first, the presence of CTR generates valued affective inferences; second, affective inferences are generated faster with CTR than with thesimplex(i.e., non-reduplicated) form. Results strongly confirm the first hypothesis and disconfirm the second.

This article is a theoretical, audiovisual, and personal exploration of being a trans and non-binary person and the challenges this position produces at the moment of entering the outside world. Getting ready to enter public space is a seemingly mundane everyday task. However, in the context of a world that continuously fails or refuses to recognize trans and non-binary people, the literal act of stepping outside can mean to move from a figurative state of self-determination to one of imposition. We produced a short film project called Step Out to delve into issues of vulnerability and recognition that surface throughout experiences of crossing the threshold into public space. It explores the acts performed as preparation to face the world, and invokes the emotions this can conquer in trans and non-binary people. Breathing is the leading metaphor in the film, indicating existence and resistance simultaneously. The article concludes with a discussion of affective states and considers them, along with failed recognition, through the lens of Lauren Berlant’s concept of “cruel optimism.”

Bibliography and reviews. Until now, Russian literature has been extremely poor in original works devoted to the issues of medical and sanitary services for gas poisoned persons. Most of the available books and brochures (X lopin, Blinchikov, etc.) reflected mainly the experience of the World War and were somewhat outdated, since in the years following the war, the issues of gas poisoning were subjected to careful experimental study in all countries, and many sides cases were presented from completely new perspectives. The same is the case with translated literature, among which you can count only a few brochures devoted to the issues of pathology and the clinic of gas poisoning.

The Function of Linguistic Structures in Shaping Adonis's Vision of the World: The Siege as an Applied Model We chose the poet Adonis for a reason: he is a problematic poet, critic and thinker, who came out of the "heart of heritage" and from among the mainstays of modernity. It is not possible to study all of his work in one project. Therefore, his book The Siege, as he calls it, appears as a landmark in which he intensifies many forms of structures: the lexicon, syntactic, morphological, grammatical and symbolical structures, which all seem to interconnect amongst each other. We have overlooked the musical structure for it seems a bit not connected to our study. We have studied the question of interpretation and understanding through the constitutive relations of the semantic structures, and the cultural structure has been looked at in each of these structures, in which Adonis appeared as a critic of heritage and a historian of modernity and of new language. Indeed Adonis showed a unique proficiency in language skills: letters, vocabulary and beautiful patterns. He was also very skillful in their investment, and he harnessed all the diverging forms in the ways he sees the world emanating from the heritage and its infusion into the present and its problems. We have also been aware of the ways in which Adonis employed metaphor and symbol to revolutionize the fossilized stereotype, for the deep-rooted metaphor has its own distinguished and effective way of achieving its project.

Background: The Covid-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc throughout the world, with 150 million cases to date and over 3 million lives claimed worldwide. Aim: To explored the difference in levels of SaO2 of COVID-19 positive patients with and without COPD. Study design: Experimental Study. Methodology: From May2020 to 2021 patients admitted at Aziz Bhatti Shaheed hospital were included in this studies. COVID-19 was confirmed by RT-PCR.COPD was confirmed by using GOLD standard of diagnostic criteria. SaO2 was measured by using pulse oximeter and confirmed by blood samples measurement of SaO2. Statistical analysis: SPSS version 22 was used for data analysis. Paired sample t test was performed to evaluate the hypoxia levels between three pairs among the time distribution of 1st, 3rd, and 6th, day. Results: Levels of SaO2 were statistically significant between COVID-19 positive patients and COVID-19 positive patients with COPD. We calculated the levels of SaO2 at day1, 3rd, and 6th day and results were significant to show that COPD might be having some protective effect against hypoxia and that might be due to use of medications or adaptation of pulmonary cells. Conclusion: It was concluded that levels of SaO2 was significantly reduced in COVID-19 patients without COPD in comparison to patients without COPD. Keywords: COVID-19, COPD and SaO2.

The World-Relatedness of Affectivity: Heidegger and Richir

" My investigation reveals that Heidegger’s account of affectivity – though his programmatical determination included an ontical dimension or otherwise lived, personal experiences – is overshadowed by a dense ontology that cannot enable real phenomenal experience. This is why he could not account for other affective states such as emotions, feel-ings and the role of the body in affectivity. Besides, in that account we are lost when we seek to answer the question of whether moods are “one” or “many”. My aim is to point out how these deficiencies in Heidegger’s account of mood could be overcome in Richir’s account of affectivity, where indeterminate background feelings (affections) could give rise to a deter-minate and occurent emotion (affects). The advantage of this move is a rich ontic account of affectivity where not only the body but also sense/meaning of affective episodes play a robust role in an encounter of world events. If Richir reproached Heidegger for existential solipsism, one could now reproach the former for existentiell/phenomenal solipsism. In the end I suggest that these two core but opposite aspects of affectivity (the ontological and the ontic) belong to the same reality: Dasein is not just in the world (ontology), but also the world is in Dasein (ontic/phenomenological). Keywords: mood, affection, affect, Heidegger’s ontology, Richir’s Leib and sense. "

There are many valuable wooden buildings in the world, because timber has been used all over the world as a building material for a long time. However, there is an issue that timber deteriorates due to various factors. Therefore, in order to preserve these valuable wooden buildings, it is necessary to appropriately repair or reinforce treatment. One of the treatments is the resin filling method. In this method, filling the resin in order to restore the strength into an internal cavity caused by deterioration. It has become clear that it is possible to recover the strength using this method, however, we are still conducting construction based on the rule of thumb. Therefore, authors examined the resin characteristics in order to inject the resin in stable manner and ensure strength recovery. Authors focused on deteriorated timber due to termites, because Japan has a very high amount of such type of timber. Authors reports the following four aspects of the characteristics of resin filling into timber. 1. The Area velocity is determined by the injection pressure, width of the gap, and viscosity of the resin. 2. The resin spreads concentrically in the gap of wood, but there is no regularity in the random gap like deteriorated timber due to termites. 3. Authors proposed a new coefficient for the application, of a theoretical formula to deteriorated timber due to termites. 4. Authors proposed a flowchart of resin filling method to perform stable construction.
