AbstractIn an experiment with 114 children aged 9–12 years, we compared the ability to establish local and global coherence of narrative texts between auditory and audiovisual (auditory text and pictures) presentation. The participants listened to a series of short narrative texts, in each of which a protagonist pursued a goal. Following each text, we collected the response time to a query word that was either associated with a near or a distant causal antecedent of the final sentence. Analysis of these response times indicated that audiovisual presentation has advantages over auditory presentation for accessing information relevant for establishing both local and global coherence, but there are indications that this effect may be slightly more pronounced for global coherence.

Due to a production error, the last words of the conclusion were lost. The final sentence of the conclusion should read ‘When combined with adequate tuition and patient education, their use may help improve the management of asthma.’

James questions the validity of the very tentative statement made in the final sentence of our paper. Our claim concerned the proportion of twins in Britain in the 1990s that might have arisen through subfertility treatment and was linked to the s uggestion that the natural twinning rate might still be in decline. If this were true, we, like James, would regard that prospect with concern.

Principle 20 is concerned with the jurisdiction of international and internationalized criminal tribunals regarding the prosecution of war crimes and other atrocities. The word ‘impunity’, defined at the beginning of the United Nations Updated Set of Principles, implies punishment or some similar sanction. It inexorably directs us towards judicial activity of criminal courts or the lack of it. The first sentence of Principle 20 is addressed to the national justice system, while the second sentence focuses on the international and internationalized criminal tribunals and their relationship to national courts. The final sentence of Principle 20 requires States to ‘fully satisfy their legal obligations’ with respect to international and internationalized criminal tribunals. This chapter first provides a contextual and historical background on Principle 20 before discussing its theoretical framework and how it has been observed in practice.

Inguinal hernia repair using mesh is one of the most frequently performed operations in general surgery. The mesh can be placed using an open technique or by laparoscopic approach. Many studies have highlighted the merits and risks of laparoscopic approach for the repair of inguinal hernia, the final sentence still remains to be written as majority of trials are too small to show clear benefits of one technique over another. To compare laparoscopic mesh repair with open method in management of inguinal hernia. Asian Journal of Medical Science, Volume-5(3) 2014: 11-14 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajms.v5i3.9301

MR. J. A. Lee by his commentary (Journal,22, 267) rightly suggests that instead of saying in my par. 1 (Journal,21, 504), as I did after quoting Mr. Carr and Sq. Leader Scott, R.A.F. (Journal,20, 406, sec. 2, par. 1) my words ‘—and from this deducing velocity and position of the vehicle,’ I could better have simply continued their words, ‘From this acceleration we can then, by successive mathematical integrations, deduce first velocity and secondly the displacement of the vehicle.’ Furthermore, it was superfluous and careless of me to add my quite worthless opinion as to soundness and virtue of expression on their part, but I comfort myself, and I hope also Mr. Lee, with the knowledge that there is no evidence that my opinions have ever previously had any effect whether for good or ill. To the extent, if any, that I can understand Mr. Lee's learned commentary, I believe I quite agree with him and am especially grateful for the clear definition given in his final sentence. If, however, an answer has been given to the question I raised as to the connection of Schuler's 1923 paper with inertial navigation, I am not presently aware of this.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of persons with aphasia (PWA) to resolve different types of ambiguous words (homophones, metaphors, and metonyms) in discourse contexts. Method Six PWA and 10 controls listened to short discourses that biased either the dominant (more frequent) or subordinate (less frequent) version of an ambiguous word as well as nonsense (filler) discourses. Participants then indicated whether or not the final sentence, which contained the ambiguity, made sense in the discourse. Data for both accuracy and reaction time were collected. Results There was no significant Group × Word Type × Frequency interaction in the reaction time data. In the accuracy analysis, there was a significant Group × Frequency × Word Type interaction, which appeared to be driven by the PWA's relative accuracy with subordinate homophones and relative inaccuracy with subordinate metaphors. Conclusions These results suggest that PWA were able to use discourse contexts to resolve subordinate versions of literal ambiguous words but have difficulty resolving metaphoric ambiguous words. Further investigations should be done to clarify how much context PWA require to successfully resolve lexical ambiguities.

Correction for ‘DNA barcodes for biosecurity: invasive species identification’ by K. F. Armstrong and S. L. Ball (Phil. Trans. R. Soc. B 360 , 1813–1823. (doi: 10.1098/rstb.2005.1713 )). On page 1819, the final sentence of the paragraph ending four lines from the bottom of the right-hand column was incorrect, and should read as follows: For example, it was possible to place specimens previously identified as ‘ B. dorsalis complex’ with reasonable bootstrap support and minimal sequence divergence (see figure 2 in the Electronic Appendix) to a likely species, B. caryeae .
