Digital social networks have become an essential source of information because celebrities use them to share their opinions, ideas, thoughts, and feelings. This makes digital social networks one of the preferred means for celebrities to promote themselves and attract new followers. This paper proposes a model of feature selection for the classification of celebrities profiles based on their use of a digital social network Twitter. The model includes the analysis of lexical, syntactic, symbolic, participation, and complementary information features of the posts of celebrities to estimate, based on these, their demographic and influence characteristics. The classification with these new features has an F1-score of 0.65 in Fame, 0.88 in Gender, 0.37 in Birth year, and 0.57 in Occupation. With these new features, the average accuracy improve up to 0.14 more. As a result, extracted features from linguistic cues improved the performance of predictive models of Fame and Gender and facilitate explanations of the model results. Particularly, the use of the third person singular was highly predictive in the model of Fame.

While fact-checking has received much attention as a potential tool to combat fake news, whether and how fact-checking information lessens intentions to share fake news on social media remains underexplored. Two experiments uncovered a theoretical mechanism underlying the effect of fact-checking on sharing intentions, and identified an important contextual cue (i.e., social media metrics) that interacts with fact-checking effects. Exposure to fake news with fact-checking information (vs. fake news without fact-checking information) yielded more negative evaluations of the news and a greater belief that others are more influenced by the news than oneself (third-person perception [TPP]). Increased TPP, in turn, led to weaker intentions to share fake news on social media. Fact-checking information also nullified the effect of social media metrics on sharing intentions; without fact-checking information, higher (vs. lower) social media metrics induced greater intentions to share the news. However, when fact-checking debunked the news, such an effect disappeared.

La situación de inestabilidad social y sanitaria advenida por la enfermedad COVID-19 ha supuesto la inclusión obligada de contenidos informativos sobre esta cuestión de salud y sus consecuencias en la prensa. Este trabajo se aproxima a una investigación que desea dar a conocer la codificación lingüística de los titulares de noticias publicados en el principal periódico digital de la ciudad de Ávila (España) ⸻Ávilared⸻, por el escaso número de trabajos que estudian los titulares de prensa en papel (Zorrilla, 1996; Nadal Palazón, 2012), que son menos aún sobre los que hay en soporte digital. En este sentido, avanzamos con una descripción de las particularidades formales de los titulares digitales, ya que esta “nueva prensa es tan joven que no tiene ni teoría, ni historia, ni manual actualizado de sus innovaciones” (Fogel y Patiño, 2007, p .7). El análisis, basado en un corpus de 90 titulares publicados durante todo el período de estado de alarma en España, atiende a siete elementos formales; a saber, la bimembración, la estructura nominal, el empleo de expresiones numéricas, la impersonalización, el inicio con verbo, la aparición del condicional “de rumor” y la omisión de cualquier categoría gramatical. Se demuestra la divergencia de algunos planteamientos resultantes de análisis de titulares de prensa en papel.

In Islam, the Qur’ān is viewed as the word of Allah. The Qur’an is not narrative nor is there a chronicler. Rather, Allah speaks in the first or third person. The Qur’ān consists generally of short...

One of the most original and significant texts to have come out of Europe in the past generation is Dimitris Lyacos’ poetictrilogy, Poena Damni. I call it “poetic” because there is no word that quite describes a work that moves alternately betweenpoetry, prose, and drama, and that turns each like a prism in a quest for meaning that yields no final stability but only a“further horizon of pain” (The First Death, Section X).As the above suggests, the text offers us a shifting series of scenes and perspectives, somewhere between a journey and atravail. There is an implicit narrative voice, but no narrative, that shifts abruptly from first to third person, a thread ofconsciousness that weaves in and out of dream and waking, fantasy and vision, confronting us at every turn with that whichboth forces and repels our sight. You know there is a narrative, because something in the voice compels you to continue; yousimply do not know what is being told. You are simply within the framework of a temporality in its most radical sense.Dimitris Lyacos was born in Athens in 1966, and studied law and philosophy. It was conceived back to front, with its“last” part, The First Death, written and published first, and the other segments proceeding backwards toward an origin thatinstates the original wound of the poem’s birth. Lyacos has revised it extensively over the course of some thirty years,retracting an earlier version of what is now With the People From the Bridge that was originally published as Nyctivoe andheavily revising the text called Z213: EXIT. The suggestion, I think, is clear: the poem remains open, a circularity thatdeflects all progression, an ourobouros that never meets its own tail.

The article analyzes one of the early poems of D. S. Merezhkovsky, which refers to the so-called landscape lyrics. Sustained consistently in the third person and drawing a very realistic picture of nature before a thunderstorm, this poem becomes a kind of «landscape of the soul» of the lyrical hero from the very beginning. This is created primarily with the help of lexical-semantic means, in particular, the polysemy of most words in the text. At the same time, the parallelism «nature – a human being», traditional for Russian poetry, receives a peculiar embodiment here. Based on the analysis of the dictionary of the poem, the author determines the main images and motives, identifies the style-forming dominants of the text, and characterizes the features of the functioning of units of the lexical-semantic level.

Company management and supervision of company affairs are not separate in joint stock companies, and the Board of Directors is responsible for both duties. However, especially in large-scale companies, the execution of management activities by the Board might prove difficult due to the variety and extent of business. In such a case, the Board of Directors can be authorized to transfer management partially or fully to one or more than one board member or to a third person in accordance with an internal directive to be issued according to a provision to be added in the articles of association. However, in all circumstances, the Board of Directors is liable to monitor that the conduct of the company activities conforms to the laws, the articles of association, internal directives and written instructions of the Board of Directors. Turkish Commercial Code stipulates that top supervision of the management staff, and in particular whether they act according to the laws, the articles of association, the company regulations and the written instructions of the Board of Directors is among the inalienable functions and powers of the Board of Directors (375/1-e).

This study aims to test the third-person effect (TPE) in the perception of Internet privacy risks. Support was found for a TPE model suggesting that users report greater perceived Internet privacy risks on others than on themselves, based on a sample ( N = 613) from Amazon MTurk. In particular, the differential perception of Internet privacy risks between self and others increased people’s willingness to recommend protective measures to others but decreased their willingness to adopt protective measures themselves. Moreover, social distance, perceived Internet privacy knowledge, negative online privacy experiences, and Internet use activities emerged as significant predictors of TPE perceptions about Internet privacy risks. Study findings indicated that third-person perception is one of the major barriers inhibiting the adoption of privacy protection measures. The antecedents of TPE perceptions detected here provide valuable implications about how to enable Internet users to protect their privacy security.

We propose that feature bundles in syntactic computations coactivate subset vocabulary items in content-based access. Thus, in French, an inflectional node for the future tense bearing [Number: Plural] activates third-person singular -a underspecified for [Number: Ø] and third- person plural -ont specified for [Number: Plural]. These activations compete in externalization. [Number: Ø/Plural] defines a scale where plural-marked -ont carries more information than -a, allowing scalar inferencing in form selection. Given an activated Plural-marked -ont, -a (3ps.sg) is automatically interpreted as [–Plural] via scalar inferencing and becomes unsuitable for insertion. Thus, -ont (3ps.pl) must be selected when -a (3ps.sg) is eliminated. We tested our model assuming an interaction of cross-domain inferencing with morphological selection, using two experiments. In forced-paced reading and listening tasks, 19 native speaker subjects per task classified picture probes accompanying matching and mismatching subject-verb future tense agreement. Classification times for pictures semantically linked to the verb probed for an interaction between the processing of agreement morphology and the ongoing conceptual processing of the sentence. Classification times were modulated by the type of morphological mismatch. Singular verb form mangera (eat-fut.3ps.sg) in plural contexts slowed down picture classifications, whereas plural verb form mangeront (eat-fut.3ps.pl) in singular contexts did not. This specific interaction between purely formal agreement and conceptual-structure processing is unexplained by superset models of late insertion, or by interface relations, frequency, load of stored information, and phonological cohort activation. It suggests that domain-general principles of inference enrich domain-specific feature-based computations accessing vocabulary items through the coactivation of features.

Communication is the most important aspect of society that people are dependent upon. Today everyone can communicate with the help of their native languages but there is a small part of society who cannot speak and faces a lot of problems in communicating. These people are the one who are suffering from speaking impairment. Such people are also members of this society and have equal right to enjoy their life and communicate with the external environment in an easy and professional manner. In today’s world, technologies have made life easy. Everyday there is a new innovation, and a new device is ready. But there is a certain section of the community who still cannot take benefit of these technologies and gadgets for his or her communication. These people not able to speak and cannot convey their message and society calls them mute. This work will help such people to speak easily without the involvement of any third person or mediator. Mute people do the action ahead of the screen of the device, since this device is going to be user-friendly, an individual can feed action and its meaning into it. Person feeds his own action and gestures alongside its name or title, and therefore, the camera will detect the gesture, then print it on the screen and convert it into audio output. People working during a professional environment can cash in on it.

This is my second translation of a story by the Dominican author Jose Alcantara Almanzar published in Delos, the other one, “Enigma,” having appeared in vol. 34.1. “Enigma” proved challenging because not only are there passages that use both the first person and the third person, but the third person is sometimes the voice of the protagonist describing her husband, and at other times that of an omniscient narrator. The end result is that the narrative voice of the wife, which sometimes speaks very colloquially, at other times is more poetic. It is also worth noting the absence of quotation marks or separate lines for the dialogue in this story. The absence of these conventions contributes to the creation of an atmosphere of alienation.

Background: Transvaginal ultrasound scan (TVS) is a relatively new routine intimate examination in Nigeria carried out only in fertility clinics, specialist radio-diagnostic centres and a few public hospitals. It is a procedure, which many patients find intrusive and may result in anxiety. The gender of the practitioner and the presence of a third person in the room may influence patient's acceptance to undergo the procedure. Centres offering this service do not routinely ask for the patient's opinion, which negates the patient-centred care principle. The aim of this study is to assess women's awareness, acceptance and practice preference of TVS to get their opinion about the preferred gender of sonologist and presence of a third person during the procedure in comparison to other intimate examinations. Materials and Methods: It is a questionnaire-based prospective survey involving women referred for various indications to the radiology department of a Navy Hospital in south-southern Nigeria for 1 month. Results: We recruited 204 women. Although only 20.6% knew about TVS, 98.5% accepted to undergo TVS. Forty-six percent were indifferent about the gender of the sonologist, while 45% and 9% preferred a female and a male, respectively. About 50.3% wanted a third person in the room during the TVS and majority preferred their husbands (44.7%) to a chaperone (35.8%). Conclusion: The awareness of TVS is low, but it enjoys wide acceptance. Patient's preference for practitioner's gender and chaperone use are variable similar to findings from other intimate examinations, so consent should be sought before the procedure.

Pneumonia is an infectious and deadly disease. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), every third person dies due to this disease. It can be cured if detected accurately and on time. Chest X-rays are used to diagnose this disease, but it requires expert radiotherapists and a very time-consuming process. So, it is the need of the hour to develop an automatic system to detect pneumonia that could perform better and produce faster results. However, traditional handcrafted machine learning techniques show low accuracy and are expensive in terms of complexity. Deep convolutional neural networks (D-CNNs) show better performance in this regard and are simple and easy to use as compared to machine learning algorithms. In this paper, a novel algorithm based on AlexNet and SVM is proposed to detect pneumonia. We also compared the results of AlexNet with other D-CNNs to check which one is performing better. Experimental results prove that AlexNet integrated with SVM outperforms all other techniques.

Gaze following is the task of detecting the point of attention of where a third person gaze is staring in a single image. Existing studies have made some modifications to architectures or have additionally learned the gaze angle, and have achieved notable performances. However, when a complex scene is given, the methods generally predict incorrect locations because of the lack of depth information in an RGB image. In this paper, we propose a novel three-stage deep neural networks algorithm to tackle such challenging scenes using a depth map. We achieve state-of-the-art performance on the GazeFollow dataset and examine possibilities for the research of depth information in image interpretation. Moreover, a qualitative comparison shows that our method works stably and accurately for complex scenes similar to those found in real-world photographs.

Background: Microcystic variant of urothelial carcinoma is one of the new variants of urothelial carcinoma that was added to the WHO classification in 2004. Aims: To review the literature on microcystic variant of urothelial carcinoma. Materials and Methods: Various internet search engines were used to document the presentation, diagnosis, management and outcomes of microcystic variant of urothelial carcinoma. Results: (Summary of the Review and Update of the Literature): Microcystic urothelial carcinoma is a rare variant of urothelial carcinoma which was added to the WHO classification in 2004. Microscopic examination of microcystic variant of urothelial carcinoma tends to reveal the ensuing characteristic features: Conspicuous intracellular and intercellular lumina / microcysts encompassed by malignant urothelial or squamous cells. The lumina tend to be empty but they may contain granular eosinophilic debris, mucin, or necrotic cells. The cysts tend to be variable in size and they are either round or oval, up to 2mm; they are lined by urothelium which are either flattened cells or low columnar cells however, they do not contain colonic epithelium or goblet cells. The cysts tend to be infiltrative and they may invade the muscularis propria. Their microscopic pattern mimics cystitis cystica and cystitis glandularis which should be considered as differential diagnoses. Elongated and irregular branching spaces are usually seen. Occasionally they may exhibit neuroendocrine differentiation. Out of about 17 cases of microcystic variant of urothelial carcinoma that had earlier on been reported, only 2 patients had survived. Three more patients were reported from 2017 to 2020 and two of them had survived for 2 years in one case, six months in another case, but definite confirmation of the outcome of the third person as to how long he survived was not available to the author. Because of the rarity of microcystic variant of urothelial carcinoma its biological behaviour is not well known but there is some evidence to suggest that this tumour tends to be of high-grade and high-stage. There is also no consensus opinion on the best option of treatment of the tumour. Conclusions: Microcystic variant of urothelial carcinoma is a rare tumour and to the knowledge of the author less than 25 cases have been reported in the literature. In view of the limited number of reported cases of microcystic variant of urothelial carcinoma in the literature, it would prove difficult at the moment to be dogmatic regarding its prognosis. However, it would appear from the few reported cases of microcystic urothelial carcinoma that on the whole this tumour is a highly aggressive tumour. Urologists, pathologists and oncologists throughout the world should be encouraged to report new cases of microcystic urothelial carcinoma in order to document the biological behaviour such a rare tumour.

IntroductionEfficacy of aliskiren combination therapy with other antihypertensive has been evaluated in the treatment of patients with hypertension in recent systematic reviews. However, most previous reviews only focused on one single health outcome or one setting, none of them made a full summary that assessed the impact of aliskiren combination treatment comprehensively. As such, this umbrella review based on systematic reviews and meta-analyses is aimed to synthesise the evidences on efficacy, safety and tolerability of aliskiren-based therapy for hypertension and related comorbid patients.Methods and analysisA comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI published from inception to August 2020 will be conducted. The selected articles are systematic reviews which evaluated efficacy, safety and tolerability of aliskiren combination therapy. Two reviewers will screen eligible articles, extract data and evaluate quality independently. Any disputes will be resolved by discussion or the arbitration of a third person. The quality of reporting evidence will be assessed using the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews V.2 tool tool. We will take a mixed-methods approach to synthesising the review literatures, reporting summary of findings tables and iteratively mapping the results.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required for the study, as we would only collect data from available published materials. This umbrella review will be also submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication after completion.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42020192131.

Surrogate decision-making refers to authorizing a third person (a proxy) to make decisions about the healthcare treatment provided by a professional to a patient who is unable to express his or her wishes as a result of being, say, a minor, mentally incapacitated, senile, or no longer self-aware. Such a proxy can be a close family member biologically (parents and children), legally (spouses), or affectively (a close family member or friend). The proxy can perform this role informally or when legally designated formally.

Purpose This systemic review summarizes the evidence exploring the determinants of mortality due to snakebite envenomation in Asia. Materials and methods The database PubMed, Web of Science and Science Direct were searched to identify the relevant literatures concerning mortality due to snakebites mortality in Asia. All the articles chosen were critically appraised for its quality using a mixed-method assessment tool by two independent reviewers with discrepancies sorted by a third person. Results A total of 7 studies were included in the final analysis which was 3 cross-sectional studies, 2 case reports, 1 observation prospective study and 1 randomized control trial study. Two studies were conducted in India and two studies in Sri Lanka while one study was conducted in Taiwan, Vietnam and Nepal respectively. The cases of snakebite victims were retrieved from the year of 1987 until 2017. In total, there were 762 cases of snakebite victims recorded, with 61 of those victims succumbed to death. From the final total of 7 studies, 4 of the studies showed snakebites mortality were related to delayed treatment access and 3 studies due to suboptimal care. Conclusion Mortality and morbidity can be reduced if there is a quick access for victims to emergency medical care, rapid transfer time to hospital and receiving immediate optimal medical treatment from trained medical staff once in the hospital or dispensary., Highlights • Snakebite is an important medical emergency and can lead to devastating morbidities and mortality. • Delayed treatment and suboptimal care of snakebite victims are the major healthcare problems especially in Asian countries. • Mortality and morbidity can be reduced if there is a quick access for victims to emergency medical care, rapid transfer time to hospital and receiving immediate optimal medical treatment.

Robot arm manipulation with reinforcement learning is an active research area. Immitation learning from human is one of the most curious till date to researchers. Demonstration video based learning becomes a challenge when the view angle becomes an independent parameter. Using third person view of some similar task and robot’s third person view, many complex actions can be trained using time coherence property of similar features from TCN (Time Contrastive Network). Learning and controlling a manipulator using its dynamics very difficult and time consuming process. So in this paper we are using kinematic model based PID control for model based arm control. Model free control is implemented based on novel Reward based Random Exploration (RRE) algorithm. This model based and model free updates are memorized and uses it to complete the task.

Faculty of Mechanical Engineering University of Technology and Life Sciences J.J Śniadeckich Summary Falls are a significant problem among the elderly. Every third person falls at least once a year. Falls lead to injuries, limiting the mobility of the elderly. As a result of falls, serious fractures occur, which cause hospitalization and are the main cause of death due to accidents. The causes of falls are complex and most often arise from several overlapping factors. Efforts should be made to eliminate external factors in order to minimize the risk of falling among people over 60 years of age. Daily physical activity, individual assessment of risk factors and optimal adaptation of the environment play an important role in preventing falls. The aim of the study was to discuss the problem of falls in the population of geriatric patients. Keywords:falls, the elderly, prevention, causes of falls

Background: Multimorbidity (MM) is one of the major challenges currently facing health systems at the international level and tends to occupy a considerable part of the daily activity of physicians around the world. It is important to think about the medical approach to dealing with patients with multimorbidity in order to maximize the quality of the services provided by national health services, and thus to secure a better quality of life for these patients. Information about the time spent in a medical consultation with a patient with MM criteria is essential to better organize and deliver healthcare. As far as we know, no previous review has summarized the data relating to how having MM affects the length of the average consultation time. Objective: To review all the experimental observational studies that describe the impact of having MM on the average time of a medical consultation. Methods: This systematic review was performed considering the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analysis. The systematic online searches of the Embase and PubMed databases were undertaken, from January 2000 to August 2018. The studies were independently screened by two reviewers to decide which ones met the inclusion criteria. (Kappa=0.84 and Kappa=0.82). Differing opinions were solved by a third person. This systematic review included people with MM criteria as participants (two or more chronic conditions in the same individual). The type of outcome included was explicitly defined - the length of medical appointments with patients with MM criteria. Any strategies aiming to analyse the impact of MM on the average consultation time were considered. The comparator used was the length of time of medical appointment for patients without MM criteria. Experimental and observational studies were included. Results: Of 85 articles identified, only 1 observational study was included. The study shows that there is a clear trend for patients with MM criteria to have longer consultations than patients without MM criteria (p

Ischemic heart disease is one of the leading causes of morbidity and death worldwide. Consequently, myocardial infarctions are often encountered in clinical and forensic autopsies, and diagnosis can be challenging, especially in the absence of an acute coronary occlusion. Precise histopathological identification and timing of myocardial infarction in humans often remains uncertain while it can be of crucial importance, especially in a forensic setting when third person involvement or medical responsibilities are in question. A proper post-mortem diagnosis requires not only up-to-date knowledge of the ischemic coronary and myocardial pathology, but also a correct interpretation of such findings in relation to the clinical scenario of the deceased. For these reasons, it is important for pathologists to be familiar with the different clinically defined types of myocardial infarction and to discriminate myocardial infarction from other forms of myocardial injury. This article reviews present knowledge and post-mortem diagnostic methods, including post-mortem imaging, to reveal the different types of myocardial injury and the clinical-pathological correlations with currently defined types of myocardial infarction.

Eye contact is fundamental for human communication and social interactions; therefore much effort has been made to develop automated eye-contact detection using image recognition techniques. However, existing methods use first-person-videos (FPV) that need participants to equip wearable cameras. In this work, we develop an novel eye contact detection algorithm taken from normal viewpoint (third person video) assuming the scenes of conversations or social interactions. Our system have high affordability since it does not require special hardware or recording setups, moreover, can use pre-recorded videos such as Youtube and home videos. In designing algorithm, we first develop DNN-based one-sided gaze estimation algorithms which output the states whether the one subject looks at another. Afterwards, eye contact is found at the frame when the pair of one-sided gaze happens. To verify the proposed algorithm, we generate third-person eye contact video dataset using publicly available videos from Youtube. As the result, proposed algorithms performed 0.775 in precision and 0.671 in recall, while the existing method performed 0.484 in precision and 0.061 in recall, respectively.

Because the borders between nonfiction and fiction are very permeable, this chapter analyzes as life writing three autobiographical texts that are narrated through the third person and circumvent many of the rhetorical signposts of nonfiction. In all three, literary style is of primary concern. The experimental language and structure of Christy Brown’s Down All the Days and Christopher Nolan’s Under the Eye of the Clock offer possibilities neither writer saw in autobiography as they understood it. Stewart Parker never sought publication of Hopdance, nor even finished the book, and thus the circumstances of its composition, like the volatile subject matter of Brown’s Down All the Days, require a discussion of the ethics of privacy and disclosure in writing about one’s own body and that of another.

A serious disease occurs when the pancreas produce insufficient insulin is called diabetes. A various complications that affected to eyes, heart, and nervous system caused by diabetes. The use of synthetic drugs both oral and injection can cause a serious side effects like hypoglycemia. Based on these reasons, many researchers try to develop an anti-diabetic drugs derived from natural resources.One of the plants which potential to decrease glucose level in diabetic patients is Cinnamon (Cinnamomun zeylanicum). Cinnamon extract is very potent to decreases the glucose level in diabetic conditions. Based on this, the cinnamon extract will formulate in softgel forms. The manufacturing process occurs by encapsulate the extract with gelatin film as a shell material. Gelatin is a chewy shell material. The addition of plasticizer in gelatin is very important because its can affected to flexibility of capsule. The encapsulation process with rotary die method occurs using a special machine. The encapsulation process occurs by create a contract manufacture with third person. To ensure theproduct quality, a various test like organoleptic, weight-content uniformity, and rupture test was conducted.

There is a continuous search for an HIV cure as the success of ART in blocking HIV replication and the role of CD4+ T cells in HIV pathogenesis and immunity do not entirely eradicate HIV. The Berlin patient, who is virus-free, serves as the best model for a ‘sterilizing cure’ and many experts are trying to mimic this approach in other patients. Although failures were reported among Boston and Essen patients, the setbacks have provided valuable lessons to strengthen cure strategies. Following the Berlin patient, two more patients known as London and Düsseldorf patients might be the second and third person to be cured of HIV. In all the cases, the patients underwent chemotherapy regimen due to malignancy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) which required matching donors for CCR5Δ32 mutation – an approach that may not always be feasible. The emergence of newer technologies, such as long-acting slow-effective release ART (LASER ART) and CRISPR/Cas9 could potentially overcome the barriers due to HIV latency and persistency and eliminate the need for CCR5Δ32 mutation donor. Appreciating the failure and success stories learned from these HIV breakthroughs would provide some insight for future HIV eradication and cure strategies.

This article deals with the relationship between verbal narrative and images (iconic narrative) in the illustrated edition of a short story by Mario Benedetti, "Cinco anos de vida," taken from Historias de Paris . It forms a companion piece to an article I published in 2013 on the relationship between (verbal) narration and fiction in this short story, particularly its ending. The theoretical framework of the present article is that of transmedial narratology. From transmedial narratology, I retain five major propositions which are presented in the first section. There is one proposition, however, which I cannot accept. It concerns the necessary presence of a fictional narrator in every fictional verbal narrative. In my 2013 article, I tried to show that the analysis of a fictional third person narrative like "Cinco anos de vida" could completely dispense with the concept of a fictional narrator. What I would like to show here is that this approach does not contradict the other propositions of transmedial narratology, nor an analysis based on these propositions. My position is that there are fictional narratives with and without a fictional narrator, but this opposition does not correspond to an opposition between media, namely between (verbal) language and other media. The two forms of fictional narrative coexist in some media, but not in all. The demonstration also rests on the interview I had with the painter Antonio Segui in his workshop in Arcueil, near Paris, on June 29, 2015.

Placement errors of object clitics (OCL) in French have been documented in 2L1 and L2 but not in L1 acquisition (Granfeldt, 2012; Hamann & Belletti, 2006). In the present study, we investigate whether placement errors of third person singular OCLs may be due to cross-linguistic influence. We exposed bilingual children (successive L1 French/L2 Italian and L1 Italian/L2 French and simultaneous 2L1 Italian/French) to an OCL elicitation task. The results showed significant differences between the 2L1 and L2 groups in comparison with the L1 groups, and between the languages, thus corroborating the findings of previous studies. Production accuracy of OCLs in general was highest in L1, and higher in Italian than in French. However, OCL placement errors were found in 2L1 French and L2 Italian as well as in the L1 French of children who had Italian as L2. These findings suggest that cross-linguistic influence is bidirectional (Foroodi-Nejad & Paradis, 2009; Chenjie Gu, 2010; Nicoladis, 1999). We discuss these results in relation to the proposal that cross-linguistic influence should occur only in one direction, i.e. only in one language, and only under certain conditions (Hulk & Müller, 2000; Müller & Hulk, 2001).

The holy Qur’an is an eloquent speech of Allah Al-Mighty delivered in the most expressive and unambiguous Arabic language. The Islamic Scholars ever since its introduction have been working sincerely on the Arabic Language and this love with Arabic language emanated from their attachement to the creator, so the holy Qur’an has always been the focus of attention and epicenter of many rhetorical discusses like Iltifat, while means interpreting some thing from one perspective and change it to another perspective i.e from first person to second or third person and vice versa. Some of the scholars denied the existence of "Iltifat" from second person to first person in the holy Qur’an. Tewenty-four examples of the mentioned type of "Iltifat" were given from the holy Qur’an proving the fact that this kind of " Iltifa’t" is used in the Holy Qur’an in certain places and in this way the research proves that the holy Qur’an is the most eloquent book of Almighty Allah using different rhetorical discourses like Iltifa’t. Keywords: Iltifat, Qur’an, Sukkaki, Eloquent, Rhetoric

The concept of an unreliable third-person narrator may seem a contradiction in terms. The very act of adopting a third-person stance to tell a story would appear to entail an acceptance of a basic need for truth-telling, a commitment to what Wayne Booth terms the implied author’s “norms of the work.” Nonetheless, in the essay that follows, three of Katherine Mansfield’s short stories – “A Cup of Tea” (1922), “Bliss” (1918) and “Revelations” (1920) – will be examined in order to demonstrate how the strategic suppression of the distinction between the voice of the narrator and that of the central character can lead to a strong sense of unreliability. In order to read such narratives effectively, the reader must reappraise the value of certain other stylistic elements, including the use of directives involved with directly quoted speech, seemingly minor discrepancies between adjacent sentences and, perhaps most importantly, the structure of the fiction itself. We contend that Mansfield’s use of this form of unreliable third-person fiction is her unique contribution to the short story genre.

A mosaic of lyric fragments, ‘First Cake Method’ is a short piece of experimental memoir working within the lyric essay form to explore the complexity of a father/daughter relationship. Shifting between first and third person narrative, from the child narrator to adult, it sketches a story that is both personal and universal, exploring the human need for love and acceptance while hinting at the specifics of this family’s dysfunction. Relating moments of intimacy and distance, at different stages of life, cooking and food is the central motif for an exploration of the narrator’s determination to master the ‘recipe’ for connection. Thus the structure and content of the essay work to embody the complexity of familial relationships. The use of fragmentation and repetition also mimics memory’s tendency to ‘snapshots’, thematic grouping and revision.

Focusing on texts that blend fictional and autobiographical material, this article examines cases in which a character and an overt third-person narrator sound alike, such that instability in mood and inconsistency in voice result. Hypothetically, these phenomena—indeterminate focalization and voice contamination—can be chalked up to the quasi-autobiographical nature of the text and to the author’s presumptive identification with both narrator and character. The phenomena can occur accidentally, but they can also be deployed intentionally for effect in fiction as well as in works that blend autobiography and fiction. Such mood and voice anomalies lead, given the “narrator’s” unstable characterization and heterogeneous discourse, to a closer look at the assumption that such texts have a narrator in addition to an author. In this article, I question classical narratology’s attribution of a narrator to every work of fiction and propose alternatives that acknowledge authors’ textual practices. This study contributes to recent narratological research on focalization, voice, the narrator, and autobiography.

Introduction: Drug abuse is a global phenomenon, affecting almost every country, but its extent and characteristics differ from region to region. India too is caught in this vicious circle of drug abuse, and the numbers of drug addicts are increasing day by day. The bane of drug abuse in Punjab has acquired the proportions of a pestilence that has shaken the entire society in the state. It is observed that in Punjab “drug abuse” is a raging epidemic, especially among the young. Methodology: The present cross-sectional study was conducted on 400 adolescents and young adults (11–35 years) from 15 villages of Jalandhar District. Systematic sampling (probability proportionate to size) was used for the selection of study subjects. A preformed, semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect information on type and frequency of drugs abused and other sociodemographic variables. The statistical evaluation of the data was performed using SPSS software, version 21.0. Results: The prevalence of substance abuse among study group was 65.5% and most common substance abused was alcohol (41.8%), followed by tobacco (21.3%). A high prevalence of heroin abusers was noted among study subjects (20.8%). The prevalence of nonalcohol and nontobacco substance abuse was 34.8%. A significant association of drug abuse was observed with male gender, illiteracy, and age above 30 years. Conclusions: The problem of drug abuse in youth of Punjab is a matter of serious concern as every third person is hooked to drugs other than alcohol and tobacco. The other striking observations were the high prevalence of heroin and intravenous drug abuse.

R K Narayan is one of the celebrated novelists of that era. His novel The Guide won the Sahitya Academy Award. The main objective of the paper is to discuss about the mixing of Indian and western culture. Indian is a country where logic and belief sit side by side. The novel maybe inspired by an incident in Mysore. Here acute drought completely dried up Krishna Raja Sagar. Some religious chanting took place for rain. The novelist combined the enforced sainthood with that incident. The novel has two layer of narrative. The third person narrative starts with Raju when he came out of jail. The first person narrative is Raju's recollection of past life to Velan. The novel The Guide has myth and reality blended in the plot. The life of Raju closely follows the concept of Chaturasham. Rosie who is an educated woman still carries some Indian values and Raju's mother carries traditional Indian rules. The two place village Mongal And town Malgudi shows two India in a single globe. While Malgudi is a commercial town with money sharks, Mongal is a place where ever a poor pays homage to a spiritual man with blind faith. The novelist juxtaposes both the sides into one pattern to portray real India in his novel.

EnglishThe French verb seoir and its equivalent prefix-based antonym messeoir are from a synchronic perspective to the contemporary French word-stock treated as defective verbs, whose frequency of occurrence is rather rare and whose limited range of verb forms results in a paradigmatically incomplete conjugation. The data analysis of 61 verb phrases of seoir in 152 various texts from the Frantext corpus comprising 11,176,247 running words shows the occurrence of 10 non-finite forms, out of which 37.7 % have the form of the third person singular/plural. The outcomes clearly demonstrate that some verb forms are still popular in the language and keep their combining power or valence. In contrast, the lexeme messeoir does not occur at all in the corpus data after the year 2000. Based on the zero occurrence it may be argued that the verb has been gradually moving to the periphery of the contemporary word-stock. francaisLe verbe defectif seoir et son prefixe antonymique messeoir sont, du point de vue synchronique, consideres en tant que defectifs, c’est-a-dire des verbes dont les taux de frequence sont negligeables et dont les paradigmes de conjugaison restent incomplets en francais contemporain. A l’aide de l’analyse de 61 cooccurrences attestees du verbe seoir dans un ensemble de 152 textes au nombre de 11 176 247 mots, le moteur de recherche de la base textuelle Frantext renvoie 10 formes conjuguees du verbe en question, dont 37,7 % sont representees par les troisiemes personnes. Ceci confirme le postulat portant sur la productivite de ce verbe dans le stock lexical du francais, dans la mesure ou il est susceptible de subir des actualisations de leurs configurations actancielles. Par contre, le lexeme messeoir n’est atteste dans aucun des textes posterieurs a l’an 2000 dans le Frantext. A cause de cette abscence d’occurrences, il est possible de considerer ce verbe en voie de disparition du fond actif du lexique francais.

Water services are increasingly subject to global regulation, forming the global water governance. The World Bank's technical advice and the decisions of investment arbitration are prominent examples of such influence. However, because of the distance of their decision-making from the citizens and their institutional settings, they have raised legitimacy concerns. This paper applies the global administrative law framework to examine the roles and effects of participation procedures, namely the Inspection Panel at the World Bank and submissions by a third person ( amicus curiae ) in investment arbitration.

Wearable devices have evolved towards intrinsic human augmentation, unlocking the human skin as an interface for seamless interaction. However, the non-traditional form factor of these on-skin interfaces, as well as the gestural interactions performed on them may raise concerns for public wear. These perceptions will influence whether a new form of technology will eventually be accepted, or rejected by society. Therefore, it is essential for researchers to consider the societal implications of device design. In this paper, we investigate the third person perceptions of a user's interactions with an on-skin touch sensor. Specifically, we examine social perceptions towards the placement of the on-skin interface in different body locations, as well as gestural interactions performed on the device. The study was conducted in the United States and Taiwan to examine cross-cultural attitudes towards device usage. The results of this structured examination offer insight into the design of on-skin interfaces for public use.

Objectives To examine the use of crowdfunding to pay for abortion services for individuals in the United States. Study design Cross-sectional analysis of data abstracted from publicly available campaigns for abortion services on four major crowdfunding sites. Results Among 92 crowdfunding campaigns, the median amount requested was $610 (IQR $500–$1000), the median raised was $0 (IQR $0–$444), and 19 (21%) campaigns successfully reached their fundraising goal. Campaign success did not differ by state abortion policy, but campaigns written in third person or describing maternal/fetal diagnoses raised significantly more money. Conclusions Although individuals use crowdfunding to finance abortion services, the success rate is low.

We explore the problem of intersection classification using monocular on-board passive vision, with the goal of classifying traffic scenes with respect to road topology. We divide the existing approaches into two broad categories according to the type of input data: (a) first person vision (FPV) approaches, which use an egocentric view sequence as the intersection is passed; and (b) third person vision (TPV) approaches, which use a single view immediately before entering the intersection. The FPV and TPV approaches each have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, we aim to combine them into a unified deep learning framework. Experimental results show that the proposed FPV-TPV scheme outperforms previous methods and only requires minimal FPV/TPV measurements.

Poor compliance with therapy is frequently encountered in most of patients with chronic diseases. It increases the risk of morbi-mortality and healthcare costs. Patients on chronic haemodialysis often have poor compliance with treatment. This study aims to assess the level of compliance with treatment in our patients on chronic hemodialysis and to identify the predictive factors of poor compliance with treatment. We conducted a cross-sectional study at the Oujda Hospital in November 2011. The compliance with treatment was measured using a questionnaire: the compliance evaluation test (CET) assessed the compliance with medication treatment and diet. A rate of 85% was retained arbitrarily as a threshold for good compliance with treatment. Patient in a zone of partial adherence had a rate between 57% and 85% while a lower rate (57%) indicated poor compliance with treatment. Different demographic and clinicobiologic parameters were analyzed and predictive factors for good and poor compliance with treatment were identified. Our study involved 101 patients on chronic haemodialysis; the sex ratio was 1.2, the average age of patients was 15.6 years. CET showed that 23.4% of patients had good compliance with treatment, 39.4% partial compliance with treatment and 37.2% poor compliance with treatment. Statistical analysis showed that poor compliance with treatment was associated with a lower socio-economic and intellectual status, with co-morbidities and with long term hemodialysis. Good compliance with treatment was observed in very old patients helped by a third person, taking a reduced number of medications, with a higher intellectual level.

Effective storytelling relies on engagement and interaction. This work develops an automated software platform for telling stories to children and investigates the impact of two design choices on children’s engagement and willingness to interact with the system: story distribution and the use of complex gesture. A storyteller condition compares stories told in a third person, narrator voice with those distributed between a narrator and first-person story characters. Basic gestures are used in all our storytellings, but, in a second factor, some are augmented with gestures that indicate conversational turn changes, references to other characters and prompt children to ask questions. An analysis of eye gaze indicates that children attend more to the story when a distributed storytelling model is used. Gesture prompts appear to encourage children to ask questions, something that children did, but at a relatively low rate. Interestingly, the children most frequently asked “why” questions. Gaze switching happened more quickly when the story characters began to speak than for narrator turns. These results have implications for future agent-based storytelling system research.
