Complement coercion ( →) involves a type clash between an event-selecting verb and an entity-denoting object, triggering a covert event (). Two main factors involved in complement coercion have been investigated: the semantic type of the object (event vs. entity), and the typicality of the covert event ( →). In previous research, reading times have been measured at the object. However, the influence of the typicality of the subject-object combination on processing an aspectual verb such as has not been studied. Using a self-paced reading study, we manipulated semantic type and subject-object typicality, exploiting German word order to measure reading times at the aspectual verb. These variables interacted at the target verb. We conclude that both type and typicality probabilistically guide expectations about upcoming input. These results are compatible with an expectation-based view of complement coercion and language comprehension more generally in which there is rapid interaction between what is typically viewed as linguistic knowledge, and what is typically viewed as domain general knowledge about how the world works.

Introduction: Physical therapy (PT) academic institutions are called upon to strengthen their transformative role in developing more socially responsible graduates. Study objectives were to explore faculty perspectives on educating PT students for social responsibility (SR) and to identify strategies for improvement.
Review Of Literature: Adopting a "curriculum as praxis" orientation for curriculum development supports educating for SR because of its focus on transforming self and the world through recurring critical reflection and action.

Studies show that war leads to an increase in harsh parenting and a decrease in parental warmth, which in turn has a devastating impact on children's development. However, there is insufficient research on the factors that affect parenting in post-conflict regions. In addition, most previous studies on the role of parenting in the context of war rely on self-reports, which are subject to a number of limitations.

Nudging, according to its inventors and defenders, is supposed to provide a non-coercive way of changing human behavior for the better-a freedom-respecting form of "libertarian paternalism." Its original point was to complement coercive modes of influence without any need of justification in liberal frameworks. This article shows, using the example of food-product placement in grocery stores, how this image is deceptive.

Purpose: The movement to develop and implement non-coercive alternatives in the provision of mental health care is gaining momentum globally. To strengthen the basis of potential interventions that will be contextually relevant, and to complement the body of literature which is largely from high-income settings, the current study sought to explore the suggestions of service users and providers in Nigeria on how to reduce the use of coercive measures in mental health settings.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews with 30 mental health professionals and four focus group discussions among 30 service users from two psychiatric hospitals in Nigeria were conducted.
Health Sector Reform in Honduras: Privatization as Institutional Bad Faith.
Med Anthropol

Mujeres en las Artes (MUA), Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
I address the privatization of public health care services in Honduras by focusing on one family's experiences using both private and public health services. I juxtapose their increasing use of private health care services, over public services, against sustained and consistent episodes of health sector reform culminating in protests against decrees that sought to further restructure the Ministry of Health during early 2019. By complementing the concept of "privatization by attrition" with "institutional bad faith," I argue that the increased use of private health care may be understood as privatization by coercion.
