We compared deidentified EMS and hospital-level variations in OHCA performance and outcomes in Ohio.</p>\n<p><strong>Methods:</strong> We analyzed adult OHCA data from the 2019 Ohio Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (Ohio CARES). We limited the analysis to EMS agencies and receiving hospitals with ≥10 OHCA episodes. The primary outcomes were return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital discharge. We compared OHCA outcomes between EMS agencies using linear mixed models, with EMS agency as a random effect and adjusting for Utstein variables. We repeated the analysis by receiving hospital. We compared EMS agency population demographics, response times, and resuscitation characteristics of the top 10% of agencies against remaining agencies using chi-squared tests. </p>\n<p><strong>Results:</strong> We included 2,841 OHCA among 44 EMS agencies in our analysis. The ROSC varied three-fold; mean 27.9%, range 15.8%-51.0%. Among 40 hospitals, survival varied two-fold; mean 12.9%, range 8.1%-19.0%. Top-performing EMS agencies included both medium- and large-sized agencies that tended to treat younger patients (59 vs 62 years, P&lt;0.01) in public areas (15.7% vs 12.3%, P&lt;0.01). There were no differences in bystander-witnessed arrest, bystander cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), or EMS response time. However, top-performing EMS agencies used less mechanical CPR (61.7% vs 76.0%, P&lt;0.01) and were more successful in advanced airway placement (89.6% vs 74.8% P&lt;0.01). </p>\n<p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The ROSC and survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest varied across EMS agencies and hospitals in Ohio. Top-performing EMS agencies exhibited unique demographic characteristics, used less mechanical CPR, and were more successful in airway placement.

Marginalized populations, particularly those in urban areas, are disproportionately impacted. The emergency department (ED) holds potential as a vital outreach hub, given its diverse patient population and extensive service coverage. In this study we explore the feasibility of implementing an ED-based FI screening and referral program at an urban, academic teaching hospital. We aimed to assess the prevalence of FI among ED patients and evaluate the feasibility of a three- and six-week follow-up to assess patients’ FI and related barriers to resource referral utilization.</p>\n<p><strong>Methods:</strong> This single-center, observational study was conducted at an urban, academic ED from 2018-2024. Initial FI screening was performed using a validated two-question survey adapted from the Hunger Vital Sign screening tool. Participants who screened positive were enrolled and completed the 10-item US Department of Agriculture Adult Food Security survey, received a food assistance guide, and were followed up at three- and six-week intervals to assess changes in FI status.</p>\n<p><strong>Results:</strong> Among 6,339 participants, 1,069 (16.9%) experienced FI, with the highest rates among Black non-Hispanic (24.7%) and Spanish-speaking participants (28.7%).

We propose a novel educational paradigm using simulation to train EPs on the use of TEE in cardiac arrest.</p>\n<p><strong>Methods:</strong> A total of 63 EPs at a single-center academic teaching hospital participated in a 90-minute simulation-based education session to summarize the use of TEE in cardiac resuscitation and practice related procedural skills. The session consisted of a simulated cardiac arrest scenario using both transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and TEE and hands-on practice on a high-fidelity TEE task trainer. Participants filled out anonymous surveys before and after the training session, which evaluated their subjective attitudes toward TEE, knowledge of its role in cardiac arrest, and perceived efficacy of the curriculum in introducing the modality.</p>\n<p><strong>Results:</strong> Survey results indicated fewer perceived barriers to performing TEE in resuscitation after completion of the course, with statistically significant decreases in the following: not understanding image acquisition (85.5% pre vs 27.4% post; P&lt;0.001), interpretation (66.1% pre vs 25.8% post; P&lt;0.001), indications (29.0% pre vs 0.0% post; P&lt;0.001), contraindications (35.5% pre vs. 3.2% post; P&lt;0.001), and the potential benefit for the patient (24.2% pre vs 3.2% post; P &lt;0.001).

We thoroughly investigate posets defined by adjacency in rectangulations of both kinds, and unify and simplify known bijections between rectangulations and permutation classes. This yields a uniform treatment of mappings between permutations and rectangulations that unifies the results from earlier contributions, and emphasizes parallels and differences between the weak and the strong cases. Then, we consider guillotine rectangulations, and prove that they can be characterized -- under all known mappings between permutations and rectangulations -- by avoidance of two mesh patterns that correspond to windmills in rectangulations.

A Laguerre digraph is a digraph in which each vertex has in- and out-degrees \\(0\\) or \\(1\\). In this paper, we interpret the Foata-Zeilberger bijection in terms of Laguerre digraphs, which enables us to count cycles in permutations.

However, patterns of elevational distributions and their underlying explanatory environmental variables have not been well studied in amphibians. We explore elevational patterns of species richness in amphibians and evaluate seven environmental models that may explain such patterns. We also test how the spatial scale of elevational bands affects the perceived patterns and the power of the explanatory variables. We utilize records from the most comprehensive amphibian database of Mexico. Gradients were selected across five Mexican mountain ranges, for both coastal and continental slopes, according to four criteria that allowed for standardization. Species richness-elevation relationships were classified into five patterns as described in the literature. Generalized linear models were applied to test six models, which include temperature, precipitation, water-energy dynamics, topographic heterogeneity (TH), their interaction and area. Species richness and environmental factors for each model and each gradient were calculated at four spatial scales of elevational bands (100, 200, 300, and 500 m).\n \nA total of 20 gradients were evaluated, for which all five patterns of species richness reported in literature were observed at least once. The pattern of mid-peak richness was the most commonly observed, followed by a decreasing pattern of richness with elevation. The water-energy dynamic was the best model at smaller spatial scales, while temperature, TH and area, became increasingly important in explaining richness patterns as the spatial scale increased.\n \nThe elevational distribution of species richness in amphibians showed similar tendencies as in literature. This study demonstrated a larger variation in the power of explanatory variables between mountain ranges than between spatial scales.

The result is a dataset of 718 records from 29 countries across Africa, South America, North America, Asia, and the Pacific Islands, reported from the early 20th century to the present. This occurrence dataset is now included in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), hosted by the “Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación Productiva” under the publisher “Instituto de Ciencias Biológicas y Biomédicas del Sur (INBIOSUR)”.</p>","language":"eng","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

They used the Australian literacy constructs, the frames – subjective, structural, cultural, and postmodern, and the conceptual framework – artwork, artist, world, and audience, to inform their thinking. The students used visual literacy differently to (a) read/decoded/interpreted visual statements, (b) wrote/encoded/created visual statements, in, following the art teacher’s graphic and written prompts (Avgerinou &amp; Pettersson, 2011). Three students (c) thought visually and deliberately planned artwork to speak to an audience, using visual process diaries (VPDs) and artists’ statements that combined images and texts. The study concluded (1) Teaching visual literacy skills is essential. (2) Visual literacy skills take time to develop. (3) Visual literacy skills involve metacognition. (4) Conveying visual messages through artforms is best accomplished with developed skills in the medium or artform. (5) Visual literacy skills benefit from students’ research, analysis, and interpretation of artworks to increase critical understanding. Visual literacy is culturally situated. (6) Visual literacy skills involve an awareness of audiences and a need to communicate ideas. (7) The conceptual framework, rather than the frames, provided a point of dialogue and focus within VPDs, artwork, and writing.","language":"en","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Visual Literacy, Art Education, New South Wales"}],"section":"Teaching and Learning through the Arts","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6sz7m4k3","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Judith","middle_name":"Ann","last_name":"Briggs","name_suffix":"","institution":"Other","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2021-08-24T16:12:01-04:00","date_accepted":"2021-08-24T16:12:01-04:00","date_published":"2025-03-08T18:11:18-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cla_jlta/article/48277/galley/36338/download/"}]},{"pk":31046,"title":"Square-Diamond Illusion in Bottlenose Dolphin","subtitle":null,"abstract":"<p>Animals do not see the external world as it is. Different animals process information in different ways, even when looking at the same object. A visual illusion is a psychological phenomenon by which the eye perceives something as different from what it is. We tested whether a bottlenose dolphin produces the square-diamond illusion to see if it experiences the illusion in the same way as humans. In Experiment 1, two figures (square and diamond) of different sizes were presented in the training session and the subject had to choose the “smaller” figure. In the test session, 22 pairs of squares and diamonds of different areas were presented to see which the subject would choose. When the area difference is large, the percentage of correct responses is high, but when the area difference is small, the percentage of correct responses varies between pairs. When these results were then sorted into “small squares vs. large diamonds” and “small diamonds vs. large squares”, the percentages were significantly high in all pairs in the “small squares vs. large diamonds” group, whereas in the “small diamonds vs. large squares” group, the percentage of correct responses decreased as the difference between the areas of the two figures also decreased. In other words, this result suggests that the illusion may have come into play. Experiment 2 was a square-diamond illusion perception task. Two pairs of squares and diamonds of equal area (225 cm2 and 400 cm2, respectively) were presented and the subject’s choice was then tested. The results showed that the subject chose the square significantly more often than the diamond in both pairs. The square appeared smaller, and the diamond appeared larger to the subject, even though the fact that they had the same area (i.e., it was demonstrated that the square-diamond illusion had occurred), and this study showed that dolphins share the same visual characteristics as humans. </p>","language":"eng","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Though many distinct Native American communities have disappeared, vestiges of their languages still exist in the usual and expected places—place names and historical documents. The few remaining languages continue to resist colonial domination and projected extinction by the end of the twenty-first century. Despite centuries of linguistic colonialism and trajectories toward “language death,” contemporary Native American language advocates are engaged in innovative revitalization and reclamation programs that repurpose historical documents to promote unexpected forms of “language life” and new forms of linguistic sovereignty. This essay traces shifts in language ideologies from colonial linguistic imperialism and the extinction of Native American languages to Native American linguistic repatriation, the promise of language life, and emerging forms of linguistic sovereignty. Key developments between language experts and Native American language advocates are identified as they offer insights into the unexpected domains of Native American language life. </p>","language":"eng","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial  4.0","short_name":"CC BY-NC 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

I utilize the concept of chronotope and fine-grained linguistic analysis to discuss the ways that Tlingit oratory constructs Tlingit space-time to promote community healing and decolonization. Through the discourse analysis, I show that Dalton collapses the time and space between the past and now, constructing worlds where the ancestors are in the same space as the living. To create a chronotope where the ancestors are present, Dalton uses linguistic tools such as demonstratives and focus marker spatiotemporal deixis to create proximity between the audience to the past. She also uses semiotic relations through clan motifs and objects, representing the past and used in the present to populate these worlds. Through these chronotopic worlds, Dalton reveals Tlingit understandings of time-space.

Here I focus specifically on how particular memes are strategically constructed and distributed through social media as transferable and transmutable markers of identity capable of establishing and distilling an insider group membership among culturally competent interlocutors while simultaneously establishing outsider status to those for whom the texts remain opaque or meaningless. While memes are often used to establish social and ideological alignments, the textual composites I consider here are constructed from semiotic resources which are relevant to, and indexical of, Native North American identities. I compare memes and other texts that are representative examples of how identity work is conducted through tactics of intersubjectivity within electronic spaces. I submit that these compound texts represent sites of resistance to hegemonic discourses by cultivating groups of belonging within a visible public realm. Because prevailing discourses that insist on the disappearance of Indigenous peoples from sites of colonial interest endure, these Indigenous created counternarratives, constructed within highly modern social spaces, are a powerful means for reclaiming authorship of representation and interrupting the established discourse of failure and disappearance. I show that, despite a dominant discourse that insists on the impossibility of a modern indigeneity, the creation of Indigenous memes for social media is actually part of ongoing collaborative projects of resistance—irrefutable evidence of ever-emergent modern Native American identities.</p>","language":"eng","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial  4.0","short_name":"CC BY-NC 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

I offer this term as a proposal and an approach toward change within and across disciplinary fields that investigate linguistic form and practice. It addresses the call to “decolonize” the academy while also recognizing the limits of decolonization in settler colonial contexts. Linguistic representations are not in and of themselves pejorative or “racist/racializing” or “colonizing.” Their interpretive framings by audiences and publics—as part of socioculturally, ideologically inflected processes of differentiation and acts of discrimination—result in acts of recognition that may, can, and do perpetuate already-entrenched stances and biases that result in “semiotic marginalization,” the enfigurement and ranking of certain language users as subordinate to other language users (and languages). This is not unfamiliar, but upending these institutionalized and culturally grounded interpretations is difficult. To exemplify relanguaging as a process for addressing semiotic marginalization, I reconsider previous fieldwork in three parts: language documentation, language revitalization, and language in media. I show that relanguaging happens whether or not we recognize it in the moment through the nonconforming voices, perspectives, and linguistic forms that are often the “noise” in a dataset.

However, no formal national recommendations exist for medical student education about EMS. When looking for institution-level resources to assist in writing the educational objectives and curricular content for an EMS elective for medical students, limited examples are available for guidance. We designed, implemented, and evaluated a two-week EMS elective for final-year medical students. A pragmatic description of how to create an EMS elective is detailed. </p>\n<p><strong>Methods:</strong> The EMS elective involves an introductory session, an operational orientation, and six ambulance shifts. Self-directed activities and checklists encourage interdisciplinary learning between calls. Additionally, students deliver a case presentation including an example for improved interdisciplinary communication. Before and after the elective, a voluntary anonymous survey is distributed, in addition to a formal standard course evaluation. </p>\n<p><strong>Results:</strong> From 2017–2022, 37 students participated in the elective. Thirty-four (92%) submitted the pre-elective survey, and 21 (57%) submitted the post-elective survey.

The ED faces multifaceted demand and supply challenges, which implicate resource allocation and patient flow. In this study we aimed to identify factors associated with hospital admissions among ED patients in a Singapore tertiary-care hospital.</p>\n<p>Methods: Using a retrospective cohort study of all eligible visits to a Singapore ED between  January 1–December 31, 2019, we conducted a multivariable, mixed-effect logistic regression model to study the factors associated with hospital admissions. The model accounted for patients’ demographics; triage category; arrival mode; referral source; time of ED visit; discharge diagnosis; and ED occupancy levels. </p>\n<p>Results: In 2019, there were 141,719 visits to the ED, with 42,238 (30%) of these visits resulting in hospital admissions. Factors associated with increased odds of hospital admissions included increasing age, being male, ethnicity (Malay vs Chinese), higher patient acuity, non-self-referred patients (vs self-referred), patient being conveyed by ambulances (vs walk-in), and category of disease. Our model demonstrated that the highest odds of inpatient admissions were attributed to the patient’s acuity (highest vs lowest acuity: odds ratio [OR] 326, 95% confidence interval [CI] 292-363), followed by patients’ age (70 and above vs 30 and below: OR 13.8, 95% CI 12.8-14.8). The ORs for all other factors with significantly increased odds of admissions were modest, ranging from 1.12-4.18. Although the ED occupancy levels at the hour of the patient’s disposition decision, the hour of the ED visit, and the month of the ED visit were significantly associated with hospital admissions, changes in the probabilities of hospital admissions across the possible range of values of these factors were marginal.</p>\n<p>Conclusion: Our study revealed several factors significantly associated with hospital admissions, with patient acuity and age as the most important factors.

In this study we aimed to evaluate displacement of the aortic root (DAR) as a method for calculating ejection fraction (EF) in patients with undifferentiated dyspnea presenting to the emergency department (ED). The primary objective was to compare EF values obtained through DAR with the modiﬁed Simpson method, which is considered the criterion reference, within an Indian academic ED.</p>\n<p><strong>Methods:</strong> We conducted a prospective, cross-sectional study spanning two years (December 2019–December 2021). The study enrolled 110 consecutive ED patients ≥18 years of age, presenting with undifferentiated dyspnea and normal sinus rhythm. Ultrasound-trained investigators measured DAR using M-mode ultrasonography. Experienced echocardiographers, blinded to DAR, determined EF using the modiﬁed Simpson method. Statistical analyses included the Shapiro-Wilk test, McNemar test, and the receiver operating characteristic curve.</p>\n<p><strong>Results:</strong> The mean DAR measurement was 0.781 centimeters, with an average calculated EF of 54.4%. The EF calculated using DAR did not differ signiﬁcantly from EF calculated using the modiﬁed Simpson method. Comparative analysis revealed DAR’s superior sensitivity (86.21%) compared to mitral annular plane systolic excursion (48.28%) and end-point septal separation (45.45%). The DAR method exhibited high accuracy (area under the curve = 0.958) with a cut-off value 0.706 (sensitivity 88.7%, speciﬁcity 93.1%).</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Evaluating displacement of the aortic root to calculate ejection fraction in undifferentiated dyspnea demonstrated high accuracy, sensitivity, and agreement with the modiﬁed Simpson method, which is considered the criterion reference. Its simplicity and non-invasiveness makes it a valuable initial screening tool in emergency settings, with the potential to reshape cardiac assessment approaches and optimize patient care pathways in the ED. </p>","language":"eng","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

A prior study a decade ago revealed that 14% of life-threatening injuries presenting to EDs were sports related, with this percentage being higher in the pediatric population. However, with changes in sports participation and regulatory changes over the past decade, it is unclear whether the proportion of life-threatening sports-related injuries has changed. </p>\n<p><strong>Methods:</strong> We conducted a cross-sectional study using the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS), consisting of patients from years 2009–2018. Life-threatening injuries were defined as International Classification of Diseases 9 and 10 codes for skull fracture, cervical spine fractures, intracranial hemorrhage, traumatic pneumothorax/hemothorax, liver lacerations, spleen lacerations, traumatic aortic aneurysm or rupture, gastric/duodenal rupture, heat stroke, and commotio cordis. Injuries were classified as sports related based on external cause of injury codes. We examined the relationship between demographic variables and sports-related injuries using Pearson chi-square analysis. </p>\n<p><strong>Results: </strong>From the years 2009–2018 there were 256,564 observed ED visits. Of these, 646 were for life-threatening injuries, representing a national estimate of 3,456,166 patients over the 10-year period. Thirteen percent were sports related. Of the life-threatening injuries, 77.5% were injuries to the head and neck, and 9.1% of these were sports related. The proportion of life-threatening injuries due to sports and recreation was higher among pediatric patients than adult patients (30.4% vs 9.9%, P&lt;0.001). The proportion of sports-related life-threatening injuries to the head and neck was also higher among pediatric patients than adult patients (23.3% vs 6.4%, P&lt;0.001)  </p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>A substantial proportion of life-threatening injuries occur during sports and recreation, especially among pediatric patients. Compared to a similar study a decade ago, there is a similar proportion of life-threatening injuries that are sports related, however; there does seem to be a decrease in the proportion of life-threatening sports-related injuries to the head and neck.

We find a consistent preference for attaching a noun phrase to a preceding verb over attaching it as the subject of a yet-unmentioned verb, in accord with thematic assignment maximization and in line with previous observations. In contrast, when two possible verbs were available before the noun phrase, no consistent attachment preference was observed. This points to a prominent role for thematic assignment in ambiguity resolution. In addition, transitivity bias was found to affect processing choices in the latter case, but not in the former.

A rapid change saw 46% of EM programs with one or more unﬁlled positions after the 2023 Match. Much has been discussed about potential causes, and characteristics of unﬁlled programs have been investigated. We surveyed recent applicants to EM to further understand what continues to draw them to EM and what concerns deter them from choosing a career in EM.</p>\n<p><strong>Methods:</strong> A cross-sectional, mixed methods survey was distributed in the summer of 2023 to a convenience sample of respondents via the listservs of national EM resident and student organizations as well as clerkship directors in EM. We did not calculate response rate due to listserv convenience sampling. A total of 213 responses were received, representing 7.7% of the total number of EM applicants (2,765) in 2023. Applicants were asked to rank from 1 to 5 their experiences with EM and the characteristics of the specialty that were important in their career decision. We calculated means and 95% conﬁdence intervals for quantitative results. We performed qualitative analysis of free-text responses to identify themes.</p>\n<p><strong>Results: </strong>Positive factors for applicants were interactions with EM faculty (4.29 on 1–5 scale) and residents (4.42) as well as clinical experiences in third-year (4.53) and fourth-year clerkships (4.62). Applicants continue to be drawn to EM by the variety of pathology encountered (4.66), ﬂexible lifestyle (4.63), and high-acuity patient care (4.43). Most applicants (68.5%) experienced advisement away from EM. Of those who received negative advisement, non-emergency physicians were the most common source (73.3%). Factors negatively inﬂuencing a career choice in EM were corporate inﬂuence (2.51), ED crowding (2.52), burnout (2.59), presence of advanced practice practitioners (APP) in EM (2.63), and workforce concerns (2.85).

This makes academicians study the reasons for poor recycling culture and behaviour in Pakistan. The objective of this study is to analyse the factors impacting consumer recycling behaviour in urban households. This study integrates the extended TPB model with the Diffusion of innovation theory to investigate the influence of attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, environmental concern, and packaging attributes on consumer recycling intention. Additionally, it also seeks to check the moderating role of convenience and consumer innovativeness between recycling intention and recycling behaviour. The hypothetico-deductive approach was used to test the conceptualized hypotheses based on TPB and DOI theory. Non-probability convenience sampling method was used and data was collected via internet-administered questionnaire from 639 participants comprising of university students in Karachi. The data has been analysed using Smart PLS version 4. Path analysis and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) have been further used to analyse the direct and moderating relationship between the variables. The results of this study confirmed a strong influence of the determinants of the extended TPB model on consumer recycle intention. Consumer innovativeness was found to have a positive significant impact on the relationship between recycling intention and behaviour, while convenience was found to insignificantly moderate the relationship between recycling intention and behaviour. The research findings can be used by the government in making policies relating to waste collection and creating awareness campaigns highlighting the advantages of recycling and sustainable consumption behaviour, with same can be applied to educational institutions for curriculum designing. Moreover, marketers can enhance recycling behaviour through innovative sustainable packaging and proper recycling mechanisms. Certain initiatives on a public and private level relating to environmental awareness can greatly enhance the frequency of household recycling waste.</p>","language":null,"license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

The algorithm had acceptable sensitivity (0.69, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.66-0.72), specificity (0.91, CI 0.89-0.92), positive predictive value (0.75, CI 0.72-0.78) and negative predictive value (0.88, CI 0.86-0.89). The positive likelihood ratio (7.39, CI 6.35-8.42 ) was adequate, and the negative likelihood ratio (0.34, CI 0.30-0.37) was informative. The AUC of 0.74 (CI 0.72-0.77) suggests that the algorithm had acceptable accuracy. </p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Findings suggest that an electronic health record-based algorithm informed by the ADA guidelines is a valid tool for identifying patients presenting to the ED who are eligible for HbA1c testing and may be unaware of having prediabetes or diabetes. The ease of workflow integration and high yield of potentially undiagnosed diabetes and prediabetes makes the BPA algorithm an appealing method for diabetes screening within the ED. </p>","language":"eng","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

During and after disasters, libraries continued to offer regular services, with Wi-Fi access and computer stations being the most commonly provided. While the Stafford Act designates libraries as essential services and allows for relocation funding through the Federal Emergency Management Agency, only 36% of respondents were aware of this legislation. To fully leverage available support, libraries must enhance their preparedness prior to such events. Slightly over half of respondents (51%) indicated their libraries had an emergency preparedness plan. Among those with plans, most had a traditional emergency response plan (82%), while fewer had a continuity of operations plan (13%), and only one library had a community resilience plan.

Geniculation, the abrupt change in convexity/inflation of the valve disc, occurs in many inoceramids and has been recognized for decades. But despite extensive inoceramid research, it remains a relatively under-documented phenomenon. To understand the phylogenetic relationships within this cosmopolitan bivalve family, it is necessary to recognize the range of intraspecies variation. “\nInoceramus\n”\n nebrascensis\n is known to geniculate, but its morphological variability has not been effectively documented. This study identifies five morphotypes of \n“I.” nebrascensis\n from a single locality of the Late Campanian Pierre Shale in South Dakota. The most common form is non-geniculated (Type I). The four geniculated forms include: marked positive geniculation (Type II); slight positive geniculation followed promptly by marked negative geniculation (Type III); marked positive geniculation generating a conspicuous neck, followed by marked negative geniculation (Type IV); extreme positive geniculation with a “butterflied” configuration of the pre-adult shell (Type V).

In Bantu languages in particular, linguistic analysis has often put the emphasis on meaning, both inherent and evaluative (e.g., diminutive). However, recent quantitative studies have argued that both meaning and morphophonology – the ubiquitous nominal prefixes – serve as cues to class in Bantu, with their robustness and specific aspects potentially differing across individual languages. Here, we conducted an experimental study aimed at establishing whether speakers of Kîîtharaka (Bantu, E54) are sensitive to both semantics and morphophonology when classifying novel Kîîtharaka nouns. We used two wug-task-style experiments to establish whether particular aspects of meaning or form (here, nominal prefixes) would influence participants’ production of agreement on nominal dependents. Results showed that speakers are sensitive to two inherent features, Human and Fruit, and evaluative features like Augmentative, Pejorative and Diminutive. On the other hand, they are robustly sensitive to all morphophonological features tested when classifying novel nouns. Our results suggest that semantic features are generally less productive than morphophonology in the Kîîtharaka nominal classification system.</p>","language":"eng","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Here, we investigated the possibility of parallel gradedness of linguistic predictions in a simple reading task, using a new measure—<em>imbalance</em>—that captures the probabilistic difference between multiple sentence completions. We focus on prenominal gender-marked articles in German to obtain prediction-specific effects. Native speakers of German read predictable or unpredictable gender-marked nouns that were preceded by prediction-consistent or -inconsistent prenominal articles. Sentence frames either biased expectations more strongly toward the most likely continuation of the sentence, or balanced expectations between the first and second most likely continuation. The results showed reading facilitation for gender-marked articles when sentences were more biased but slowing when sentences were more balanced, irrespective of article predictability. We conclude that readers issue multiple prenominal predictions and weigh them according to their likelihood, providing evidence for parallel gradedness of prenominal predictions.
