Action Representations

Recent evidence has shown linkages between actions and segmental elements of speech. For instance, close-front vowels are sound symbolically associated with the precision grip, and front vowels are associated with forward-directed limb movements. The current review article presents a variety of such sound-action effects and proposes that they compose a category of sound symbolism that is based on grounding a conceptual knowledge of a referent in articulatory and manual action representations. In addition, the article proposes that even some widely known sound symbolism phenomena such as the sound-magnitude symbolism can be partially based on similar sensorimotor grounding. It is also discussed that meaning of suprasegmental speech elements in many instances is similarly grounded in body actions. Sound symbolism, prosody, and body gestures might originate from the same embodied mechanisms that enable a vivid and iconic expression of a meaning of a referent to the recipient.

Finite element analysis of hyperelastic components poses severe obstacles owing to features such as large deformation and near-incompressibility. In recent years, outstanding issues have, to a considerable extent, been addressed in the form of the hyperelastic element available in commercial finite element codes. The current review article, which updates and expands a 1990 article in Rubber Reviews, is intended to serve as a brief exposition and selective survey of the recent literature. Published simulations are listed. Rubber constitutive models and the measurement of their parameters are addressed. The underlying incremental variational formulation is sketched for thermomechanical response of compressible, incompressible and near-incompressible elastomers. Coupled thermomechanical effects and broad classes of boundary conditions, such as variable contact, are encompassed. Attention is given to advanced numerical techniques such as arc length methods. Remaining needs are assessed. This review article contains 142 references.

General Meaning

In general meaning, difficulty in breathing or shortness in breathing is termed as ‘Shwasa’. As per Ayurve-da Shwasa Roga is mainly caused by vitiated Vata Dosha and Kapha Dosha. Maha- Urdhva-Chhinna-Tamaka and Kshudra are the types of Shwasa Roga. Shwasakashtata (Breathlessness), Ativege Kasate (Cough), Pinasa (Running nose), Ghurghurukam (Wheezing), Shayane Shwasa Pidita (Worsen in supine position), Asino Labhate Saukhyam (Relaxing in sitting position), Ush-nabhinanditam are the symptoms of Tamaka Shwasa. Raja-Dhuma (Pollens, Smoke/fumes), Megha-Ambu-Shita-Pragvata (Seasonal changes) are triggering factors of the Tamaka Shwasa. In this condition, patient becomes incapable to do his routine work. Incidences of Bronchial Asthma have been raised in recent dec-ades due to increased industrialization and pollution and this miserable condition can be compared with Tamaka Shwasa described in Ayurveda. In current review article an effort has been made to explain the aetiological factors (Nidana) of Shwasa Roga described in Ayurvedic classical texts with applied and mor-den perspective.

Current Review

Resistance to chemotherapy and relapse are major hurdles for the effective treatment of cancer. Major reason for this is a small sub population of cancer stem cells (CSCs) and its microenvironment. CSCs are critical driving force for several types of cancer, such as gastric, colon, breast and many more. Hence, for the complete eradication of cancer, it is necessary to develop therapeutic approaches that can specifically target CSCs. Chemical agents that target different proteins involved in CSC signaling pathways, either as single agent or simultaneously targeting two or more proteins have generated promising pre-clinical and clinical results. In the current review article, we have discussed various targets and cellular pathways that can be explored for the effective and complete eradication of CSCs. Some latest developments in the field of design, synthesis and screening of ligands to target cancer stem cells have been summarized in the current review article.

Current Review

Cyanobacterial polysaccharides have been topic of current research interests for quite some time. Most of the cyanobacteria are observed to secrete a somewhat slimy material which is either loosely bound to or released to the medium. These extracellular polysaccharidic materials are of high molecular weight and consist of either one or different sugar residues. The presence of more than one uronic acids and/or acetylated amino sugars, phosphate, lactate etc. are thought to be one of the main reasons of the structural complexity of these materials. The structural composition and productivity of cyanobacterial polysaccharides are usually changed during different stress exposure including aging. This unique property can play a vital role in the possible biotechnological exploitation in various fields. Though ample data are there, still there is a large gap between the information on hand and the technology needed to meet the demand of the industrial sectors on the other. In the current review article an attempt has been taken to compile the information available about the main features, structural composition, varied roles and to highlight the thrust areas in a detail approach.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijls.v8i4.10891

A biofilm is a group of microorganisms, that causes health problems for the patients with indwelling medical devicesviaattachment of cells to the surface matrix. It increases the resistance of a microorganism for antimicrobial agents and developed the human infection. Current strategies are removed or prevent the microbial colonies from the medical devices, which are attached to the surfaces. This will improve the clinical outcomes in favor of the patients suffering from serious infectious diseases. Moreover, the identification and inhibition of genes, which have the major role in biofilm formation, could be the effective approach for health care systems. In a current review article, we are highlighting the biofilm matrix and molecular mechanism of antimicrobial resistance in bacterial biofilms.

Children's Speech

Purpose Our understanding of test construction has improved since the now-classic review by McCauley and Swisher (1984). The current review article examines the psychometric characteristics of current single-word tests of speech sound production in an attempt to determine whether our tests have improved since then. It also provides a resource that clinicians may use to help them make test selection decisions for their particular client populations. Method Ten tests published since 1990 were reviewed to determine whether they met the 10 criteria set out by McCauley and Swisher (1984), as well as 7 additional criteria. Results All of the tests reviewed met at least 3 of McCauley and Swisher's (1984) original criteria, and 9 of 10 tests met at least 5 of them. Most of the tests met some of the additional criteria as well. Conclusions The state of the art for single-word tests of speech sound production in children appears to have improved in the last 30 years. There remains, however, room for improvement.
