Historical linguistic sources of Kurdish date back just a few hundred years, thus it is not possiInvestigation of the regional variation in Kurmanji, especially its varieties spoken in Turkey, has been almost entirely neglected in the existing literature on Kurdish. In addition to earlier isolated examinations of Kurmanji dialects (cf. MacKenzie, 1961; Ritter, 1971, 1976; Blau, 1975; Jastrow, 1977), native-speaker researchers have recently provided a substantial amount of dialect material across the Kurmanji-speech zone. However, a methodologically-informed evaluation of these observations into a dialect classification is yet to be undertaken. This article aims at providing an initial classification of Kurmanji-internal variation into major regional dialects, based on lexical, phonological and morphosyntactic data collected from five localities in Southeastern Turkey.Cihêrengiya zimanî ya navxweyî di kurmanciyê de: tesnîfeke seretayî ya zaravayan  Di nav xebatên li ser zimanê kurdî de, heta niha, vekolîna cudatiyên devok û zaravayên kurmanciyê, bi taybetî ewên di nav sînorên Tirkiyeyê de, hema bi temamî hatiye piştguhkirin.

Individuals often struggle with tasks that involve uncertainty. Uncertainty visualizations are a type of cognitive aid that provides uncertainty information to help people with performing these tasks. However, the literature has shown that uncertainty visualizations differ in the extent they improve individuals’ task performance. We hypothesize that differences in the tasks can account for some of this variability. In this study, we aimed to create an initial classification of task types based on studies on uncertainty visualizations by reviewing a diverse set of recent research involving uncertainty visualizations. We classified the experimental tasks found in these papers into four groups: uncertainty assessment, forecasting, decision making, and metacognition. Then, we reviewed the result of the experiments in terms of the similarities and differences in the use of uncertainty visualizations within and between tasks. This classification serves as a starting point for further research into the effective design of visualizations of uncertainty.

Initial Classification

Background: Myocardial injury is a common manifestation in patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and the correlation with adverse outcomes has been demonstrated; therefore, adequate monitoring of myocardial injury markers is very important. Case Summary: A patient with COVID-19 was hospitalized in our hospital with an initial classification of intermediate risk for myocardial injury, after serial measurements of myocardial injury markers, risk was readjusted to high, as shown later by electrocardiographic abnormalities. The patient underwent emergency diagnostic coronary angiography and successful angioplasty. The patient was discharged to home. Discussion: Myocardial injury risk-stratification is essential in patients with COVID-19, since it is essential in the recognition of patients who are susceptible to cardiovascular complications.

Semantic Typology

In this article I explore how typological approaches can be used to construct novel classification schemes for Arabic dialects, taking the example of definiteness as a case study. Definiteness in Arabic has traditionally been envisioned as an essentially binary system, wherein definite substantives are marked with a reflex of the article al- and indefinite ones are not. Recent work has complicated this model, framing definiteness instead as a continuum along which speakers can locate referents using a broader range of morphological and syntactic strategies, including not only the article al-, but also reflexes of the demonstrative series and a diverse set of ‘indefinite-specific’ articles found throughout the spoken dialects. I argue that it is possible to describe these strategies with even more precision by modeling them within cross-linguistic frameworks for semantic typology, among them a model known as the ‘Reference Hierarchy,’ which I adopt here. This modeling process allows for classification of dialects not by the presence of shared forms, but rather by parallel typological configurations, even if the forms within them are disparate.

Mammary Adenocarcinomas

A preliminary classification of 130 canine mammary adenocarcinomas, 76 solid carcinomas, and nine spindle cell carcinomas, together with several subtypes, was constructed from pooled, selected (metastasized) material. Each tumour in this series was classified by subjective assessment of its quantitatively predominant histological picture. Many adenocarcinomas and solid carcinomas of simple type were infiltrative, and lymphatic permeation was often found. The complex types of adenocarcinomas and of solid carcinomas were expansive, and lymphatic permeation was rare. Some metastasized adenocarcinomas were well differentiated. The clinical signs, distribution of metastases and some preliminary data on the times of survival of dogs with various types of carcinomas are discussed.
