The article analyzes theoretical works that raise the problem of analyzing the use of the subjunctive mood in subordinate relatives in Spanish based on the concept of «reality». This topic is relevant and widely discussed among Spanish researchers. Earlier, the author has already attempted to study a different concept – the concept of «statement». This concept, based on the hidden semantics of the whole sentence, is applicable to the analysis of subordinate object sentences. The aim of the study is to determine the features of the subjunctive mood use in subordinate relative sentences in the Spanish language, based on the semantic features of the concepts of «statement» and «reality». This article attempts to implement the concept of «statement» in the analysis of subordinate relative clauses. The author concludes that this concept is not always applicable to the analysis of this type of subordinate clauses. However, we cannot completely exclude it from the analysis. The concept of «reality», which is in its own way a consequence of the concept of «statement», helps to explain the modal alternation in subordinate relative clauses. The subjunctive mood indicates the abstractness of the antecedent or the speaker's doubts about the existence of the antecedent in reality. The indicative mood, on the contrary, indicates the reality of the object or the speaker's belief in its existence. The materials of this study raise questions related to the application of concepts within other types of subordinate clauses and in other closely related languages (French).

Approach To Teaching

This chapter lays the foundation for an authentic integrated approach to learning. Music technology is a key component in most approaches that integrate STEM with Music. The connecting of multiple content areas through the arts, or music, can be used to increase teacher collaboration. The key areas of arts integration, STEM, STEAM, and how these can effectively and authentically exist together in the classroom to increase student engagement and connections to the content areas and concepts, are defined through a research-based and pragmatic approach. By incorporating the fundamental definitions and understandings posited by this chapter into one’s teaching students will be given opportunities to connect STEM concepts to the artistic processes.

Aim:To review the literature relating to diabetic vitrectomy, providing an update on topics where new information is available.Method:Reference to articles in peer-reviewed journals, the minutes of international academic meetings and authoritative textbooks.Results:We discuss aspects of management that will assist the vitreoretinal surgeon in evidence-based decision-making, including indications and timing of surgery, the use of pharmacological adjuvants, the influence of lens status, choice of vitrectomy gauge and the use of tamponades.Conclusions:Improvements in safety and outcome from diabetic vitrectomy have led a trend towards earlier surgery. A growing body of evidence supports the role of vitrectomy in diabetic macular oedema in the presence of traction. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) may aid surgery, but the risk of progression of tractional retinal detachment should be considered. The evidence for the efficacy of other adjuvants is discussed. We examine the role of cataract surgery in diabetic vitrectomy, discuss the use of tamponades and recommend a pragmatic approach when selecting a vitrectomy gauge.

Abstract This paper examines the effects that codeswitching (CS) has on mood selection in restrictive relative clauses in the Spanish of heritage speakers (HSs). Spanish HS participants completed an online acceptability judgment task in which they rated monolingual (i.e., unilingual) and codeswitched sentences containing verbs in indicative and subjunctive mood in restrictive relative clauses manipulated for specificity of the antecedent. The results indicated an association of the subjunctive with non-specificity in monolingual sentences that was lost in the codeswitched sentences, although this effect was modulated by proficiency. These results are discussed in terms of the use of default forms in CS.
