“…The extreme end of the spectrum, once known as Stein-Leventhal syndrome, encompasses the combination of hyperandrogenism (hirsutism, acne, alopecia and elevated serum testosterone concentrations), severe menstrual disturbance (amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea) and obesity (Stein IF and Leventhal ML 1935) [11] . Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrinal disorders among women, affecting 5-10% of women at their reproductive age (Franks, 1995) [12] . The syndrome was first defined in 1935 by Stein and Leventhal based on the observation of a set of symptoms such as amenorrhea, hirsutism and obesity in women whose ovaries were enlarged and contained multiple follicular cysts.…”

Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a common endocrine disorder problem caused by an imbalance of reproductive hormones, characterized by menstrual irregularity and elevated serum androgens, and is often accompanied by insulin resistance among females. The hormonal imbalance enhances problems in the ovaries. The etiology of PCOS is still unknown. Yogic practices are recommended for women with PCOS to maintain a proper hormonal balance. Purpose: To review the levels of effects of yogic practices on testosterone in polycystic ovarian syndrome women. Methods: This study was conducted in a university-affiliated hospital from January 2023 to June 2023. Anthropometric parameters, sex hormone concentrations of the samples were analysed. A systematic review of original studies indexed in PubMed that utilized an exercise intervention in women with PCOS and reported hormone values pre-and post-intervention. Studies in which the effects of the yogic intervention could be determined were included. Results: Fifty PCOS patients were recruited in this study. Yogic practices improve levels of testosterone in polycystic ovarian syndrome in women with PCOS. Studies with yoga are limited but suggest a reduction in levels of testosterone. Conclusions: Recommended yogic practices help to normalize the levels of testosterone in polycystic ovarian syndrome women.

“…This paper examines two types of clitic placement in Slavic: second position (2P) and verb-adjacent cliticization. The placement has been accounted for in a number of ways (see Tomić 1996, Franks 1998, and Bošković 2001 for early crosslinguistic overviews), with various analyses favoring syntactic or phonological motivations for the clitic positions. Following seminal observations made by Stjepanović (1998), and Bošković (2002), it is now standardly assumed that on the syntactic side, 2P clitics are XP elements that target specifiers in the extended verbal projections, whereas verbadjacent clitics adjoin to verbs as heads.…”

Parametrizing second position effects in Slavic

This paper provides an account of the distribution of two types of clitics in South Slavic: second position (2P) and verb-adjacent cliticization. It attributes the variation in the position of clitics to the availability of tense morphology in the respective languages, arguing that verb-adjacent cliticization is possible only when the TP layer is projected. The analysis is proposed as an alternative to Runić’s (2013) account, which links verb-adjacency cliticization to the presence of articles.

“…Typologically, Spanish is a Romance language and Bosnian a Slavic language -more specifically South Slavic (Franks 1995(Franks , 2005(Franks , 2017Lindseth 1997;Godjevac 2000;Progovac 2005, among others). Both languages have a rich morphological verbal agreement system, as the paradigm in table 1 shows.…”

English subjects in the linguistic production of L1 Spanish, L1 Bosnian and L1 Danish speakers: typological similarity and transfer

This study contributes to the analyses of transfer in the case of typologically similar and typologically different language interactions from three different perspectives: L1, modality and time of instruction. To do so the L2 English sentential subjects produced by 26 L1 Spanish, 26 L1 Bosnian and 26 L1 Danish children are analyzed. These L2 English participants are divided into two proficiency groups depending on the time of instruction received (2 or 4 years). Written production data (story-telling) were obtained by means of a wordless picture sequence adapted from the Edmond Narrative Norms Instrument (Schneider et al. 2005) which participants had to narrate. Oral production data were obtained through a semi-guided individual interview which was audio recorded and then transcribed in CHAT (Codes for the Human Analysis of Transcripts) format (CHILDES, MacWhinney 2000). The subjects produced by these participants were classified following three criteria: form (overt vs. null), grammaticality (grammatical vs. ungrammatical) and adequacy (adequate vs. nonadequate). Two formal proposals on sentential subjects are tested against these L2 English data: Holmberg (2005) and Sheehan's (2006) with regards to [+null subject] languages being superset to [-null subject] languages; and Fernández Fuertes & Liceras (2018) and Liceras & Fernández Fuertes' (2019) on the so-called lexical specialization approach that accounts for both directionality and effect of cross-linguistic influence. The results show that typological similarity is a conditioning factor in what regards both core grammatical structures and syntax-pragmatics interface related issues. Time of instruction, however, does not have any effects on these children's L2 English acquisition of sentential subjects. In the case of modality, the written task is proven to be cognitively more demanding. These results offer a new window into the analysis of English L2 subjects in that they not only confirm the vulnerability of interfaces also in the case of under-studied languages, but they also show how Liceras & Fernández Fuertes' proposal applies to L2 acquisition: cross-linguistic influence from the superset language (i.e. Spanish and Bosnian) results in positive transfer. This investigation is part of the research funded by the Castile and León Regional Government and the ERD (European Regional Development Fund) under Grant Ref. vi VA009P17, and by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and ERDF under Grant Ref. PGC2018-097693-B-I00. I am also very grateful to the Department of Investigation, Innovation and Transfer and the English Department at the University of Valladolid for making this financially possible. A space was also provided to me at the University of Granada. I am very grateful to Cristobal Lozano and his ANACOR team for letting me join in. I have, at all times, been treated as any another member. A special thanks goes to Teresa Quesada and Fernando Martin Villena for taking their time to discuss both academic and personal issues and ...
