This paper considers the communicative function of final rises in Finnish conversational talk between pairs of teenage girls. Final rises are fairly common, occurring approximately twice a minute, predominantly on declaratives and in narrative sequences. We briefly consider the interplay between voice quality (known to be a marker of transition relevance) and rising intonation in Finnish. We argue that in narrative sequences, rising terminals manage two main interactional tasks: they provide a place for a coparticipant to mark recipiency, and they project more talk by the current speaker. Using a methodology which combines phonetic observation with conversation analysis, we demonstrate participants' orientation to these functions.

Background/objectives: In the UK, significant and rising numbers of children arrive in schools with marked deficits in key skills such as oral language. This rise has been further negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Given this, the foundation phase of primary school education is a necessary environment for targeting language deficits.

Five isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets (Diet 1-Diet 5, with Diet 1 as the control) were formulated to replace 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% of fishmeal with American cockroach residue. Juvenile (initial body weight approximately 74 g) were randomly assigned to these diets for a 10-week feeding trial. The Diet 3 group (40% replacement) showed significantly higher final body weight, weight gain rate, specific growth rate, and protein efficiency ratio compared to other groups.

Article Synopsis
- Interest in organic solar cells (OSCs) is increasing, with device performance linked to the nanomorphology of bulk heterojunctions (BHJs) developed during drying and post-treatment processes.
- This study explores the impact of thermal annealing (TA) on the DRCN5T:PCBM blend using phase field simulations to understand how post-treatment affects BHJ morphology.
- Simulation results reveal that the BHJ's morphological evolution during TA is primarily driven by the dissolution of smaller, unstable DRCN5T crystals and the anisotropic growth of larger crystals.

- The Arctic and Antarctic regions are vital for Earth's climate, containing most of the planet's fresh water and ice, but changes there create uncertainties about climate change impacts like rising sea levels.
- As the Arctic warms significantly faster than the rest of the globe, it leads to unpredictable weather patterns, including colder winters in Eurasia.
- To address these challenges and promote understanding of polar science, a forum with leading Chinese experts has been organized to discuss these urgent issues.
