Abstract

General extenders are phrases like 'or something', 'and everything', 'and things (like that)', 'and stuff (like that)', and 'and so on'. Although they are an everyday feature of spoken language, are crucial in successful interpersonal communication, and have multiple functions in discourse, they have so far gone virtually unnoticed in linguistics. This pioneering work provides a comprehensive description of this new linguistic category. It offers new insights into ongoing changes in contemporary English, the effect of grammaticalization, novel uses as associative plural markers and indicators of intertextuality, and the metapragmatic role of extenders in interaction. The forms and functions of general extenders are presented clearly and accessibly, enabling students to understand a number of different frameworks of analysis in discourse-pragmatic studies. From an applied perspective, the book presents a description of translation equivalents, an analysis of second language variation, and practical exercises for teaching second language learners of English.

Abstract

Doelstelling: Mijn masterproef gaat over de moeilijke leesbaarheid van Engelstalige bijsluiters. Een onderzoek uitgevoerd door de Nederlandse Consumentenbond in samenwerking met de Universiteit van Utrecht toonde aan dat bijsluiters nog altijd ondermaats scoren qua kwaliteit. Aan de begrijpelijkheid van de bijsluiters kan nog veel verbeterd worden omdat een groot deel van de patiënten zich misnoegd voelen na het lezen van een bijsluiter. Een onderzoek uitgevoerd door Dr. Veronique Hoste et al. toonde aan dat het gebruik van medische terminologie in bijsluiters het grootste struikelblok vormt. Daarom bevindt mijn masterproef zich binnen het kader van het ABOP-project, dat als doel heeft op vaste basis meer leesbare bijsluiters te produceren. Mijn masterproef bestaat uit een experimentele studie waar verschillende moeilijke termen uit tien bijsluiters worden geëxtraheerd en volgens gecontroleerd of die vervangen kunnen worden door een populaire term of beschrijving. Middelen of methode: Eerst werd een literatuurstudie uitgevoerd over het ontstaan van bijsluiters en hun meest voorkomende problemen zoals de medische terminologie, gezondheidsanalfabetisme en de dokter-patiënt relatie. Ten tweede, werd een studie uitgevoerd a.d.h.v. een verzameld corpus. Dit corpus bestond uit tien bijsluiters over medicijnen die gebruikt worden als behandeling bij de ziekte van Crohn. Deze ziekte werd gekozen om het onderzoeksdomein af te bakenen. De tien bijsluiters bestonden uit: Entocort, Humira, Imuran, Medrol, Methotrexate, Pentasa, Prednisolone, Purinethol, Remicade, Salazopyrin, Sulphasalazine. Vervolgens volgde de annotatie van de bijsluiters. Deze annotatie gebeurde a.d.h.v. een linguistisch computergrogramma, Callisto genoemd. Met dit programma kon elk moeilijk verstaanbaar woord een welbepaald label krijgen. Uiteindelijk werden daarna de resultaten besproken. Resultaten: Globaal gezien, toonde deze studie aan dat nog steeds zeer veel bijsluiters moeilijke woorden bevatten. De meest voorkomende problemen waren dat er nog veel te veel wettenschappelijke termen aanwezig waren in de bijsluiters, en dat de meeste ambigue termen meestal niet duidelijk waren of gemakkelijk verward konden worden met andere gelijkaardige woorden. Een ander probleem was het gebruik van wettenschappelijke afkortingen, wiens betekenis wel verklaard werden naar nooit uitgelegd en daardoor de bijsluiter moeilijker maakten voor de patiënten. De ambigue afkortingen aan de andere kant werden bijna nooit verklaard, laat staan uitgelegd. Vervolgens was er nog het probleem dat als non-native van het Engels er altijd de tendens heerste om terug te vallen op de moedertaal, het Nederlands, wat het annoteren vaak bemoeilijkte en zo af en toe inconsistenties met zich meebracht.

Abstract

Long before China promulgated the official One Belt One Road initiatives, vast networks of cross-border exchanges already existed across Asia and Eurasia. The dynamics of such trade and resource flows have largely been outside state control, and are pushed to the realm of the shadow economy. The official initiative is a state-driven attempt to enhance the orderly flow of resources across countries along the Belt and Road, hence extending the reach of the states to the shadow economies. This volume offers a bottom-up view of the transborder informal exchanges across Asia and Eurasia, and analyses its clash and mesh with the state-orchestrated Belt and Road cooperation. By undertaking a comparative study of country cases along the new silk roads, the book underlines the intended and unintended consequences of such competing routes of connectivity on the socio-economic conditions of local communities.

Abstract

Mass Spectrometry Data Analysis in Proteomics is an in-depth guide to the theory and practice of analyzing raw mass spectrometry (MS) data in proteomics. As MS is a high throughput technique, proteomic researchers must attend carefully to the associated field of data analysis, and this volume outlines available bioinformatics programs, algorithms, and databases available for MS data analysis. General guidelines for data analysis using search engines such as Mascot, Xtandem, and VEMS are provided, with specific attention to identifying poor quality data and optimizing search parameters. Several different types of MS data are discussed, followed by a description of optimal methods for conversion of raw data into peak lists for input to search engines. Choosing the most accurate and complete databases is emphasized, and a report of available sequence databases is included. Methods for assembling expressed sequence tags (ESTs) into assembled nonredundant databases are provided, along with protocols for further processing the sequences into a format suitable for MS data. Mass Spectrometry Data Analysis in Proteomics describes publicly available applications whenever possible.

Abstract

Advancements in high-throughput “Omics” techniques have revolutionized plant molecular biology research. Proteomics offers one of the best options for the functional analysis of translated regions of the genome, generating a wealth of detailed information regarding the intrinsic mechanisms of plant stress responses. Various proteomic approaches are being exploited extensively for elucidating master regulator proteins which play key roles in stress perception and signaling, and these approaches largely involve gel-based and gel-free techniques, including both label-based and label-free protein quantification. Furthermore, post-translational modifications, subcellular localization, and protein–protein interactions provide deeper insight into protein molecular function. Their diverse applications contribute to the revelation of new insights into plant molecular responses to various biotic and abiotic stressors.

Abstract

A plethora of new actors has in recent years entered China's environmental arena. In Western countries, the linkages and diffusion processes between such actors often drive environmental movements. Through a study of Chinese anti-incineration contention, *Chinese Environmental Contention: Linking Up against Waste Incineration* investigates how the different contentious actors in China's green sphere link up, and what this means for environmental contention. It addresses questions such as: What lies behind the notable increase of environmental protests in China? And what are the potentials for the emergence of an environmental movement? The book shows that a complex network of ties has emerged in China's environmental realm under Hu Jintao. Affected communities across the country have connected with each other and with national-level environmentalists, experts and lawyers. Such networked contention fosters both local campaigns and national-level policy advocacy. Beyond China, the detailed case studies shed light on the dynamics behind the diffusion of contention under restrictive political conditions.

Abstract

Integrative omics of plants in response to stress conditions play more crucial roles in the post-genomic era. High-quality genomic data provide more deeper understanding of how plants to survive under environmental stresses. This book is focused on concluding the recent progress in the Protein and Proteome Atlas in plants under different stresses. It covers various aspects of plant protein ranging from agricultural proteomics, structure and function of proteins, and approaches for protein identification and quantification.
