Introduction. The article deals with the use of nominal plurality markers in modern Khalkha and Buryat. Nominal plurality markers are used optionally in the Mongolic languages. However, in Buryat they are used more often than in Khalkha. Goals. In order to find out how much the figures differ at the moment (and then make some relevant conclusions), the author has collected two small corpora of newspaper articles on politics, economy, culture, and sports published in the Buryat online newspaper Buryad Unen and Mongolian web-based edition Unuudur written from April to August of 2020 — in the period preceding the start of this research, as it was critical for the author to have the utmost up-to-date materials. Materials. The Mongolian mini-corpus comprises 10 032 words, and the Buryat mini-corpus consists of 10 261 words. Newspaper articles have been chosen as study material because publicistic writings absorb language novelties faster and in greater amount than fiction or scholarly works, thus better reflecting the present-day state of the language. The field data could be a more reliable source of material but field work is currently hindered because of the epidemic situation. The author decided not to use the online corpora, which are way bigger than the manually collected ones (and this is certainly their great advantage) because it was necessary to compare texts similar in subject and volume, and written approximately at the same period of time. It is not always technically feasible to restrict the field of search in the online corpora, which makes it difficult to compare the obtained results for the two languages. Results. The collected data shows that in the Mongolian newspaper articles the plurality markers are used about 3,5 times as frequently as in the Buryat ones. Along with it, Middle Mongolian plurality markers are known to have been used about four times as frequently as in Modern Mongolian. In the conclusion the author poses questions for further study which arose after obtaining the quantitative data.

Abstract Introduction Reducing the global prevalence of severe, avoidable medication-related harm (MRH) by 50% by the end of 2022 is the WHO’s third global patient safety challenge [1]. MRH is reported frequently in the academic literature, with increasing age being a key risk factor. The WHO have highlighted the need to improve public health literacy and knowledge about medications. Little is known about the frequency and nature of Irish newspaper reports about MRH. This study sought to address this gap and to examine reporting during the calendar years 2019 and 2009. Methods In this mixed-methods study, LexisNexis® [2], an online newspaper archive database, was searched for newspaper articles reporting on MRH, published in the Republic of Ireland during the calendar years 2019 and 2009. The search strategy focussed on “medication” AND “harm” AND “patient”. Quantitative data extraction aimed to describe the frequency (by count of articles) of reporting of MRH and the nature by describing the publishing newspaper titles and the reported details of: drug class(es), demographics (age or life stage, gender) of those experiencing harm and the severity of harm. Qualitatively, a systematic content analysis, using inductive coding is ongoing and will be reported separately. Research ethics committee approval for this study is not required because this is an analysis of material in the public domain. Results In total, 7098 newspaper articles were identified through database searching for 2019 (n=3217) and 2009 (n=3881). To date, 54% (3867: n=3217, 45% 2019, n=650, 9% 2009) of these were screened, of which 63 newspaper articles (n=44 2019, n=19 2009) were included and quantitative data were extracted. Within these 63 articles, 71 cases of individual people experiencing MRH were reported (52 in 2019 and 19 in 2009). The newspapers most commonly reporting MRH were Irish Daily Mail (31/63: 27 in 2019 and 4 in 2009) and Irish Times (17/63:9 in 2019 and 8 in 2009). Drug classes most frequently reported as causing MRH were central nervous system drugs (antiepileptics n=10, opioid analgesics n=5, antidepressants n=9, and anxiolytics n=1), cancer chemotherapy (23 cases) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (n=3). MRH was reported as being fatal (13 /71:8 in 2019 and 5 in 2009) and non-fatal (58/71), with seven cases (5 in 2019 and 2 in 2009) of permanent harm. Among the 71 individual cases of MRH, the majority were adults aged 18–64 years (n=36), children (n=7), older adults (n=8), foetus (n=3) and newborn (n=1), while the remainder did not report the person’s age. Conclusion MRH is frequently reported to the public through Irish newspapers. The study is limited by focus on newsprint media with the exclusion of other forms of digital or social media and restriction to two calendar years in a single country, which likely stifles the generalisability of findings to other contexts. Future work could explore this issue across a wider range of media platforms and examine changes in reporting over time. The study findings may support an agenda to improve the general public's exposure to information and knowledge of MRH and medication safety. References 1.

In March of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak forced people to lock themselves inside their homes and begin the process of transitioning from face-to-face activities at work, schools and universities to a 100 % virtual method. Even when Communication Technologies (ICT) and online platforms have seen growth over the past two decades, including various virtual libraries developed by database publishers or web-based training programs that appear to shorten the learning curve (Lee, Hong y Nian, 2002), many people were unprepared for this transition and all of them are now dedicated to entering the new reality. In this order of ideas, the activities that have traditionally required the assistance of the staff have had to adapt with the use of new tools, which meet daily needs. A clear example is the field work collection tasks. In this group, there are different types such as surveys, photographs, reviews or on-site inspections. The current work presents the use of tools for collecting, validating, analysing and presenting data remotely and in real time. All of them based on the ArcGIS Online platform.

"This article tries to understand what type of film is approved by the Nicolae Ceauşescu regime and how it is promoted, through various propaganda channels. In this sense, we choose to discuss the film made by the artistic couple Manole Marcus - Titus Popovici, The Power and The Truth (1972), and we resort to a content analysis to understand the way it was made. We are also interested in the echoes of the film in the press of the time and how with the help of newspaper articles the authorities inoculate the idea that this film is the most important cinematographic achievement of the moment, a benchmark for political productions to be made from that point on.

This chapter introduces background on emergence of national campaigns to cultivate domestic competitiveness in contrast to China’s previous role as the “world’s workshop.” It reveals the divergent ways in which localities responded to and carried out policies. The chapter accounts for such variation by breaking down the assumption of a coherent and single-level state that is inherent in the state-centric approach, while at the same time disaggregating the influence of foreign capital assumed by the FDI-driven perspective. By examining the interaction of foreign capital and local states, the chapter discusses how globalization influences the rise of investment-seeking states, the bureaucratic coalitions in city policy making, the effectiveness of policies for local firms, and the varieties of local capitalism. It also discusses the logic of the research design, the major sites of field work, and the sources of qualitative and quantitative data that the book draws on.

Experimental Researches

There is no necessity at the present time to emphasise the fundamental importance of respiration in the life of the plant, since it has been realised for a very long time that this process continues in every actively living cell. Although it is recognised that respiration in its widest sense is to be regarded as a release of energy which is in part utilised in other plant processes, yet the respiratory function is in fact not at all clearly understood, and its mechanism, in spite of plausible theories, remains to a great extent obscure. This obscurity can only be cleared away by the accumulation of quantitative data bearing on the respiratory process. Although a considerable amount of work has been published embodying the results of experimental researches on respiration, only a small proportion of these, when subjected to critical examination, are sufficiently exact to be of real value. The primary object of the researches to be recorded in this series of papers is therefore the accumulation of quantitative data concerning the respiratory function. At the moment the schemes of Neuberg, Meyerhof and Blackman afford a satisfactory and, on the whole, adequate working hypothesis of the stages of the respiratory process. They rest, however, on a slender basis of experimental evidence albeit of a very satisfactory kind, and a great deal of work is needed either firmly to establish them or to indicate where, and in what respects, they require modification and amplification.

Background: Despite the significant role of nurses in end-of-life care, their attitudes towards euthanasia are under-represented both in the current literature and the controversial debate that is ongoing in several countries. Research questions: What are the attitudes towards euthanasia among Finnish nurses? Which characteristics are associated with those attitudes? Research design: Cross-sectional web-based survey. Participants and research context: A total of 1003 nurses recruited via the members’ bulletin of the Finnish Nurses Association and social media. Ethical considerations: Ethical approval was obtained from the Committee on Research Ethics of the university to which the authors were affiliated. Findings: The majority (74.3%) of the participants would accept euthanasia as part of Finnish healthcare, and 61.8% considered that Finland would benefit from a law permitting euthanasia. Most of the nurses (89.9%) thought that a person must have the right to decide on his or her own death; 77.4% of them considered it likely that they would themselves make a request for euthanasia in certain situations. Discussion: The value of self-determination and the ability to choose the moment and manner of one’s death are emphasized in the nurses’ attitudes towards euthanasia. Conclusion: A continuous dialogue about euthanasia and nurses’ shared values is crucial due to the conflict between nurses’ attitudes and current ethical guidelines on nursing.

AbstractFor the majority of eriophyoid species, host ranges have been established purely on the basis of collection records, usually without quantitative data. The aim of this study was to: (1) quantitatively examine published literature to explore whether relevant analyses of field-collected quantitative data were used to assess host specificity of herbivores; (2) propose a protocol for data analysis that could be applied to plant-feeding mites; (3) analyse host specificity of the grass-feeding Aceria species as a case study. Field data were collected in Central and Northern Europe over a period of 11 years, and included 73 grass species. For the eight Aceria species found, infestation parameters and host specificity indexes were assessed. Accumulation curves were calculated to study how the sampling effort influenced estimates of host specificity indexes. A literature analysis showed that among the studies that declared an aim of estimating the host range only 56% of them applied any quantitative analysis or informed on estimation reliability. The analysis of field-collected data and its interpretation showed the most complete and reliable conclusions about the host specificity of Aceria species when all indices were considered and, if available, other information about the mite’s ecology and biology. It was shown that estimates of host specificity could be strongly affected by sampling effort, and that several hundreds of samples should be collected for measuring the host specificity of grass-infesting mites, at least. Recommendations regarding host specificity estimation on the basis of field data are given.

AbstractThis study assesses the feasibility of electric three-wheelers as moto-taxis in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania from a socioeconomic and technical point of view. The analysis is based on three pillars: (i) the acceptance of users (the moto-taxi drivers) for adoption, (ii) the vehicle specifications incl. battery type and size, and (iii) the role of the charging infrastructure. Findings are based on data from empirical field-work; methods used are qualitative and quantitative data analysis and modelling. Main findings include that moto-taxi drivers, who we see as most important adopters, are open towards electric mobility. They request however that vehicles should have similar driving characteristics than their current fuel-vehicles. As the market is very price sensitive, keeping the vehicle cost is of high importance. A high potential to lower these costs is seen by offering opportunity charging spots around the city. If such an infrastructure is being implemented the combination with suitable, cost competitive vehicles makes the transformation of the vehicle market towards electrification possible.
