Linguistic Legal Concept Extraction in Portuguese
Authors: Cid Alessandra  , Rademaker Alexandre  , Cuconato Bruno  , de Paiva Valeria
Published: February 2025

This work investigates legal concepts and their expression in Portuguese, concentrating on the “Order of Attorneys of Brazil” Bar exam. Using a corpus formed by a collection of multiple-choice questions, three norms related to the Ethics part of the OAB exam, language resources (Princeton WordNet and OpenWordNet-PT) and tools (AntConc and Freeling), we began to investigate the concepts and words missing from our repertory of concepts and words in Portuguese, the knowledge base OpenWordNet-PT. We add these concepts and words to OpenWordNet-PT and hence obtain a representation of these texts that is mostly “contained” in the lexical knowledge base.
Is Blockchain Hashing an Effective Method for Electronic Governance?
Authors: Konashevych Oleksii  , Poblet Marta
Published: February 2025

Governments across the world are testing different uses of the blockchain for the delivery of their public services. Blockchain hashing–or the insertion of data in the blockchain–is one of the potential applications of the blockchain in this space. With this method, users can apply special scripts to add their data to blockchain transactions, ensuring both immutability and publicity. Blockchain hashing also secures the integrity of the original data stored on central governmental databases. The paper starts by analysing possible scenarios of hashing on the blockchain and assesses in which cases it may work and in which it is less likely to add value to a public administration. Second, the paper also compares this method with traditional digital signatures using PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) and discusses standardisation in each domain. Third, it also addresses issues related with concepts such as “distributed ledger technology” and “permissioned blockchains.” Finally, it raises the question of whether blockchain hashing is an effective solution for electronic governance, and concludes that its value is controversial, even if it is improved by PKI and other security measures. In this regard, we claim that governments need first to identify pain points in governance, and then consider the trade-offs of the blockchain as a potential solution versus other alternatives.
On Observing Contracts: Deontic Contracts Meet Smart Contracts
Authors: Azzopardi Shaun  , Pace Gordon J.  , Schapachnik Fernando
Published: February 2025

Smart contracts have been proposed as executable implementations enforcing real-life contracts. Unfortunately, the semantic gap between these allows for the smart contract to diverge from its intended deontic behaviour. In this paper we show how a deontic contract can be used for real-time monitoring of smart contracts specifically and request-based interactive systems in general, allowing for the identification of any violations. The deontic logic of actions we present takes into account the possibility of action failure (which we can observe in smart contracts), allowing us to consider novel monitorable semantics for deontic norms. For example, taking a rights-based view of permissions allows us to detect the violation of a permission when a permitted action is not allowed to succeed. A case study is presented showing this approach in action for Ethereum smart contracts.

Authors: Rashid Ali  , Peng Yunfeng  , Rooh Ul Amin  , Muhammad Irshad
Published: February 2025

Image Denoising method is developed according to the characteristics of energy distribution of noise and wavelet transform. In the first step, through wavelet transform with higher scale, noisy image is decomposed, further in the second step, the square margin of White Gaussian Noise (WGN) or Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and threshold in high frequency coefficient of wavelet transform with dissimilar scale are shown separately. The coefficients are compared with different values of threshold. At the end, after taking inverse wavelet transform for all coefficient, reconstructed image has been achieved. Experimental results show that the noise is removed from image efficiently and the maximum image information is kept saved.

Authors: Li Jian
Published: February 2025

New rural financial institutions play an important role in promoting rural economic development and improving rural financial services, and become an important force in rural financial supply. Although there are conflicts of interests between new rural financial institutions and traditional rural financial institutions in terms of customer resources and business operation, there are broad space for cooperation in the fields of capital, information and technology. Rural financial products have certain characteristics of public products, so in the game of rural financial institutions, the behavior of participants has a strong positive externality. Since the contribution of rural financial institutions can also yield lower returns, such behavior can lead to the mutiny of all participants, which is a “social dilemma of public goods”. Our study introduces a kind of effective fair mechanism, through the establishment of a new type of rural financial institutions and the traditional cooperative game model of rural financial institutions, explore the strategy choice between both sides, and from the decrease of the cost of cooperation, create a revenue increment, coordinate earnings ratio in different Angle is put forward, such as promote long-term and stable cooperation strategy recommendations.

Fast Model Repository as Memory for Web Applications
Authors: Kozlovičs Sergejs
Published: February 2025

We address the task of migrating standalone model-based applications to the web, where we face the need to synchronize models between the client and the server. Because of synchronization overhead and limited server memory that has to be shared among all connected users, there is the risk that the model storage could become a bottle-neck. We propose a model repository that uses an efficient encoding of the model that resembles its Kolmogorov complexity and is suitable for direct sending over the network (with almost no serialization overhead). All traverse and query operations can also be implemented efficiently by introducing just 3 automatic indexes. By utilizing the OS paging mechanism, we are able to hold 10,000 and more repositories on a single server.

Authors: Khamare Yuvraj , Marble Chris
Published: February 2025

In this rapidly urbanizing world, landscape plants serve as a convenient pathway for individuals to engage with nature. Due to Florida's subtropical climate, a vast array of diverse plant species is commonly used in home landscapes. However, it is important to note that many landscape plants can be toxic if consumed, posing risks to small children, pets, and even livestock such as cattle, horses, or sheep. These plant species can still be utilized in the landscape, but it is important to understand which species are toxic to prevent accidental exposure, particularly in environments where small children or pets could inadvertently come into contact with them. This EDIS publication informs home gardeners, pest management professionals, and other plant enthusiasts of some of the most common plants in home landscapes in Florida, focusing particularly on poisonous species that could potentially cause harm if ingested.

Measurement of User Satisfaction of ELSIMIL Application in Stunting Prevention in Indonesia using EUCS Method
Authors: Zacky M. , Saputra Eki
Published: February 2025

Stunting is a long-term nutritional problem diagnosed in children under two years old and characterized by shorter height difference compared to children of the same age. A public health concern, stunting increases a child's risk of illness and death and stunts their ability to thrive intellectually and physically. The government has given primary responsibility for preventing stunting to the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN). One of BKKBN's efforts is to develop the ELSIMIL application, which is a media application for screening, mentoring and preventing stunting. However, during the implementation of the use of the ELSIMIL application, there are many problems faced by the family assistance team and prospective brides, one of which is the lack of knowledge of prospective brides in running the ELSIMIL application, for example: during the registration of bride and groom data, there are still many errors in inputting data so that the results issued in the form of an ELSIMIL certificate do not match the condition of the prospective bride and groom. This study uses the End-User Computing Satisfaction (EUCS) method to assess user satisfaction in running the ELSIMIL application. This study shows that the content variable has a significant influence on user satisfaction compared to other variables such as accuracy, format, ease of use, and timeliness. The more relevant and quality information is presented, the more satisfied users will be. However, simultaneously all variables affect user satisfaction. The implications of these findings can provide valuable guidance for digital platform developers and related parties in designing more targeted and effective interventions, as well as facilitating desired behavioral changes in society.

In this Industry 4.0 era, digitalization has become more common since it penetrates every industry and consequently brings drastic changes to firms, and there is no exception in the finance and accounting industry for implementing digitalization. Therefore, this study aims to explore the factors that impact the degree of digitalization in KPMG Malaysia. The survey was carried out by questionnaire distribution, which involved 408 respondents in order to collect the data. The SPSS software was used for data analysis. The regression analysis reveals that strategic corporate management, personal involvement, and employee circumstances significantly positively influence KPMG Malaysia's degree of digitalization, with personal involvement having the strongest impact. Technology and regulation, however, do not significantly affect digitalization. While this factor poses challenges, it does not substantially hinder digitalization. The model explains 47.5% of the variance in digitalization, highlighting the importance of leadership commitment, employee engagement, and personal involvement in driving digital transformation. These findings suggest that KPMG Malaysia should prioritize fostering personal involvement and strategic management while addressing employee needs to enhance digitalization efforts, even as regulatory and technological challenges remain manageable

Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Gumeniuk Roman
Published: February 2025

The relevance of the article is predetermined by the importance of assessing the financial security of the business entity in the process of investment activity and the absence of a unified theoretical and methodological approach among scientists and practitioners regarding the rational implementation of such an assessment. The aim of the article is to compare and analyze existing modern methodologies for assessing the level of financial security of business entities, to identify gaps in the positions of scientists, to identify further areas of scientific research to eliminate existing shortcomings and to develop a rational, scientifically sound methodology for assessing financial security in the system of attracting foreign investors, which would take into account both quantitative indicators and qualitative characteristics. It was emphasized that in order to estimate qualitative characteristics of financial security of the business entity, the implementation of the following legal and economic instruments shall be evaluated: shareholders agreements, convertible loans, liquidation preferences, warranties and indemnities, non-disclosure agreements, non-solicitation agreements, non-compete agreements etc. Development of the new methodology of assessing the level of financial security in the system of attracting foreign investment, which considers not only typical for financier’s quantitative indicators (liquidity and solvency indicators, profitability indicators, property indicators, financial stability indicators etc.), but also all above mentioned legal and economic instruments, shall be the object of further scientific researches. The methods of analysis and comparison were applied in the article in order to characterize and generalize the approaches of scientists to assessing the financial security of the business entity in the scientific doctrine of the XXI century. The method of synthesis was used to determine further areas of scientific research, according to the results of which existing methodologies would be supplemented, united and acquired the highest practical value.
ANTI-CRISIS MANAGEMENT OF ENTERPRISES
Authors:   Private Higher Educational Institution "European University", Paley Dmytro
Published: February 2025

Anti-crisis management of enterprises plays a crucial role in ensuring their stability and survival in the conditions of economic and political difficulties caused by the war and instability in Ukraine in 2024. This management covers a wide range of measures aimed at preventing crisis phenomena or minimizing their negative consequences. The article examines the main internal and external factors influencing crisis situations, such as financial instability, reduced demand for products, disruption of supply chains and increased competition. The key strategies of anti-crisis management are restructuring, cost optimization, diversification of activities and risk management. Restructuring of enterprises is aimed at changes in their organizational, financial or production structures, in order to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Cost optimization allows you to focus on priority areas and reduce excessive costs. Diversification of activities minimizes risks by reducing dependence on one market or product, and risk management helps to identify potential threats in a timely manner and make appropriate decisions. An important role in anti-crisis management is played by the implementation of modern information technologies, such as artificial intelligence, which allows to increase the effectiveness of crisis forecasting, automate management processes and optimize the use of resources. The study emphasizes that effective anti-crisis management requires a systemic approach, which includes early diagnosis of crisis phenomena, forecasting their consequences, financial stabilization and monitoring of results. In 2024, given the consequences of the war, Ukrainian enterprises actively applied such approaches aimed at restoring stability and ensuring sustainable development. The use of the latest technologies, innovative solutions and long-term strategies became the basis for overcoming the crisis. This allowed many organizations not only to maintain competitiveness, but also to reach new heights in their activities, despite difficult conditions. Thus, anti-crisis management remains a key tool for ensuring the financial viability of enterprises and forming their resilience to crisis phenomena, creating the basis for their long-term success.
ІГРОВИЙ ФОРМАТ ВИВЧЕННЯ ІНОЗЕМНОЇ МОВИ ЯК ЕФЕКТИВНИЙ ЗАСІБ РОЗВИТКУ КОМУНІКАТИВНИХ НАВИЧОК
Authors: Rybalka Natalia , Mykhalchenko Kateryna
Published: February 2025

У статті аналізується використання ігрових вправ як ефективного засобу вивчення іноземних мов і розвитку комунікативних навичок загалом. Гра – це завжди емоції, а там, де емоції, проявлення активності й уяви, працює мислення, виявляються особливо повно та несподівано здібності людини. Ігри можуть використовуватися як активна форма навчання іноземної мови, тому що це досить цікава й ефективна форма організації навчальної діяльності, адже ігри підходять для будь-якого ступеня навчання з їх адаптацією для кожної вікової групи й поточного рівня знань. Крім того, використання різноманітних ігор створює сприятливу психологічну атмосферу, що є одним із важливих факторів, адже ігри бувають не тільки індивідуальні, а й командні. Будучи складним і водночас захопливим заняттям, гра вимагає величезної концентрації уваги, тренує пам’ять і розвиває мовлення. Навіть найпасивніші та найслабше підготовлені студенти залучаються до гри, а це позитивно позначається на їхній успішності. Соціальна ізоляція, викликана нещодавньою пандемією та воєнними діями, а також обмеження на масові заходи, перехід до дистанційних форм роботи й навчання дуже впливають на міжособистісну комунікацію, тому причина настільки підвищеного нині інтересу до різноманітних ігор – відхід від традиційних форм і методів навчання, а також ефективний засіб, щоб відновити й розвивати комунікаційні навички. Таким чином, установлено, що ігровий формат вивчення іноземних мов – це не тільки особливо організоване заняття, що потребує напруження емоційних і розумових сил, аналог вправи, у якій забезпечується багаторазове повторення, закріплення та засвоєння необхідного матеріалу, а й вільна діяльність, що дає можливість вибору, самовираження, самовизначення й саморозвитку для всіх її учасників. Отже, використання ігрових форм робить навчальний процес більш змістовним і якіснішим, тому викладачам необхідно постійно шукати нові підходи у викладанні іноземної мови, знаходити такі методи навчання, які б активізували розумову діяльність учнів, дали б змогу зробити навчальний процес якісним, ефективним і водночас привабливим і цікавим.
СПОСОБИ ТА ПРИЙОМИ ПЕРЕКЛАДУ ФІЛЬМОНІМІВ
Authors: Rіabokin Nataliіa
Published: February 2025

Стаття присвячена вивченню способів і прийомів перекладу фільмонімів – специфічних назв фільмів і телепрограм. Назва фільму виконує функцію маркування твору і є важливим елементом його бренду, який здатен привернути увагу аудиторії, відображаючи атмосферу, жанр та основні мотиви кінокартини. Визначено, що фільмоніми – це категорія слів, яка охоплює рекламну функцію та функцію впливу, але відрізняється лаконічною структурою й містить риси, властиві назвам як самостійним мовним одиницям. У статті розглянуто основні методи перекладу, такі як літеральний переклад, культурна адаптація, калькування, транскрипція, вільний переклад, описовий переклад тощо, що застосовуються для передачі назв фільмів з однієї мови іншою. Окрему увагу приділено впливу культурних і мовних аспектів на вибір методу перекладу, а також проблемам, що виникають під час перекладу фільмонімів, пов’язаним зі збереженням оригінальної значущості, привабливості й локалізації в умовах різних контекстів. З’ясовано, що правильний переклад фільмоніма не лише відображає мовні особливості, а й сприяє збереженню рекламно та культурної привабливості фільму для цільової аудиторії. Наводяться приклади використання різних методів перекладу в практиці, що демонструють переваги й обмеження кожного підходу. Зроблено висновки щодо оптимальних способів перекладу фільмонімів для забезпечення точності й естетичної привабливості в межах цільової аудиторії. Установлено, що прямий переклад є найбільш лаконічним і зрозумілим, однак він не завжди передає повний сенс, особливо коли йдеться про культурні або соціальні контексти. Непрямий переклад, у свою чергу, дає змогу адаптувати фільмоніми до специфіки української мови та культури, але може втрачати частину оригінального змісту. Описовий переклад дає можливість зберегти контекст і надає додаткову інформацію, яка допомагає краще розуміти сюжет.
ДИСКУРС МІСТИЧНОГО В ЗБІРЦІ ОПОВІДАНЬ Н. ВІВЧАРИКА «ТЕ, ЩО СЕРЕД НАС»
Authors: Kravchenko Yulia
Published: February 2025

У статті розкрито особливості взаємодії містичного дискурсу з елементами інших дискурсів (мілітарного, екологічного, морально-етичного) у сучасній українській малій прозі. Зосереджено увагу на маркерах містичного в оповіданнях (саспенс, традиційні локації, філософсько-релігійні практики) і поєднанні містичних елементів з іншими жанровими утвореннями. Установлено, що зазначеній збірці притаманній еклектизм, тобто поєднання різнорідних, часто навіть суперечливих елементів, що є характерною рисою постмодернізму. Проаналізовано такі елементи поетики: містичні характеристики локацій, використання негативно забарвленої лексики на позначення негативних переживань персонажів задля навіювання читачеві особливого містичного стану, розмиття меж між матеріальним світом і світом духовним за допомогою оніричних мотивів і мотивів видінь; предметний вимір, котрий набуває містичної конотації; ефект саспенсу, який досягається шляхом акценту на природних умовах, дивних подіях, візуальних і звукових образах, страху персонажів. З’ясовано, що за допомогою містичних образів і мотивів автор засуджує соціальні й морально-етичні проблеми сьогодення, у деяких оповіданнях переосмислює традиційні для української літератури містичні образи. Визначено жанрово-стильову своєрідність містичних оповідань, а також характерні риси (містичність предметного виміру, розмиття меж між реальним і надреальним, розуміння містики в первісному значенні релігійно-філософського вчення, залучення традиційних локацій), які дають змогу класифікувати її як збірку містичних оповідань.
ЛЕКСИЧНІ ЗАПОЗИЧЕННЯ КИТАЙСЬКОГО ПОХОДЖЕННЯ В КОРЕЙСЬКІЙ МОВІ: СТРУКТУРА Й ФУНКЦІЇ
Authors: Petrovska Oleksandra , Andrianov Dmytro
Published: February 2025

Корейська мова з її багатою історичною спадщиною є унікальним прикладом мовної системи, що поєднує автохтонну лексику й запозичення, зокрема, китайського походження. Створення хангилю в 1446 році не виключило використання китайських ієрогліфів (ханча), які залишили значний слід у корейській лексиці. Сьогодні в корейській мові співіснують три основні типи лексики: слова рідною мовою (고유어), слова китайського походження (한자어) і запозичення з інших мов (외래어). Згідно з даними стандартного словника корейської мови (표준국어대사전), частка слів китайського походження становить понад 57%, значно переважаючи автохтонну лексику. Попри аргументи лінгвістів-пуристів, що реальна частка китайської лексики може бути нижчою, її вплив на корейську мову залишається значним. Слова китайського походження переважно належать до абстрактних і концептуальних понять, часто використовуються в науковій, технічній та офіційній термінології, додаючи формальності й точності мовленню. Важливим аспектом є поява китайсько-корейської сублексики, яка забезпечує багатство синонімічних варіантів. Наприклад, такі слова, як 빨갛다 (червоний, автохтонне) і 붉다 (червоний, китайського походження), співіснують і збагачують мовну систему. Через широке значення слів автохтонного походження вони часто мають декілька китайських відповідників, як у випадку слова 생각 (думка/ідея), що має такі аналоги: 고안, 창안 (думка) і 착상, 발상 (ідея). Особливий інтерес викликають китайські ієрогліфи, створені в Кореї, які не мають аналогів у китайській мові (наприклад, 媤 – сім’я чоловіка, 畓 – рисове поле). Ці лексеми демонструють унікальність мовної еволюції, що відображає як вплив китайської культури, так і творчість корейського народу. Дослідження китайської лексики в корейській мові дає змогу краще зрозуміти її функціональну роль у мовній системі, вплив на розвиток сучасної корейської мови та значення для передачі абстрактних понять. Структурна різноманітність і функціональність запозичень китайського походження роблять їх невід’ємною частиною мовної культури Кореї.

The study explores research methods applied to the internationalization of small and medium-sized enterprises in Central and Eastern European countries. Based on the analysis of 39 studies from 2014–2024, it identifies the most commonly used methods for collecting primary and secondary data and the most frequent approaches to their quantitative and qualitative analysis. The findings highlight the predominance of primary data collection methods, particularly structured questionnaires, computer-assisted telephone or web interview (CATI/CAWI), and semi-structured interviews. It emphasizes the role of the Likert scale in measuring internationalization-related factors and establishes it as a primary method used in questionnaires by researchers in the region. Statistical analysis methods, including logistic and linear regression, ANOVA, t-test and correlational analysis dominate empirical studies, with a focus on statistical association rather than causality due to the nature of the field research. The research also reveals a significant geographical bias toward EU member states, with a particular emphasis on Poland, while countries outside the European Union, such as Ukraine, Moldova, and the Balkans, remain underrepresented. This imbalance calls for further empirical studies to bridge the gap in knowledge on small and medium-sized enterprise internationalization both beyond the market of the European Union and in the emerging markets. The study underscores the necessity of expanding statistical data availability to improve secondary data-based research, with the leading role of the national statistical offices. The case study method emerges as a crucial tool for hypothesis formation in exploratory research, highlighting its importance for developing a theoretical foundation for future empirical studies. The findings emphasize the need for a more comprehensive, regionally inclusive approach to studying internationalization processes and advocate for methodological advancements tailored to the specific economic and institutional conditions of Central and Eastern European countries.

El presente artículo se enfoca en el desempeño de la pequeña empresa comercializadora en México. El propósito de la investigación es analizar la asociación que tienen las variables relacionadas con la efectividad financiera (crecimiento en ventas, activos tangibles, tamaño, rentabilidad, riesgo de negocio y control accionario) en la estructura óptima de capital y el impacto que ejerce en el nivel de apalancamiento. Se trata de un caso de estudio elaborado mediante un método cuantitativo, con un diseño transversal y de alcance correlacional y explicativo. El planteamiento se fundamenta en la falta de estudios que evidencien la efectividad financiera de la estructura óptima de capital de las pequeñas y medianas organizaciones en nuestro país, particularmente del sector comercio. La relevancia de este trabajo es contar con resultados significativos, confiables y actuales que permitan predecir escenarios futuros para que estas empresas puedan tomar mejores decisiones financieras. Se establecieron siete supuestos para probar cuyos resultados permitieron identificar que las variables que tuvieron una mayor relación e incidencia para lograr un nivel de apalancamiento más efectivo en la empresa comercializadora fueron la rentabilidad con un impacto del 91% y el control accionario con un nivel de influencia del 77%.

This study aims to understand tourists’ willingness to pay a price premium for a local green hotel certification and is one of only a few in the literature for small-island tourism destinations in emerging economies with their unique and pressing sustainability challenges. In a survey of 535 tourists visiting Gili Trawangan, Indonesia, facing numerous waste management and coral reef conservation issues, the willingness to pay extra for sustainable hotel services was elicited. There were five discrete pricing levels across the surveys that ranged from $0.75 USD to $7.50 USD extra per night. We examined the relationship of the respondents’ payment choice to their socio-demographic attributes and attitudes regarding environmental issues such as climate change. The main findings and practical implications of the study are: (1) to demonstrate the broad willingness to pay for sustainable hotel services. Findings indicate at all price levels (between $0.75 USD and $7.50 USD), more than 50% of tourists are willing to pay. (2) To estimate a lower bound mean willingness to pay per night for a local green hotel certificate of $1.55 USD and 1.34€ EUR, and (3) To identify individual attributes that influence willingness to pay. Findings indicate environmental knowledge and preferences play a role. These results can be used generally to incorporate evidence-based practices into the development of a green hotel marketing strategy and to help define the target market for small-scale green hotel certification. Additionally, we propose a finance strategy for funding local and sustainable initiatives that support the hotel industry and the island’s infrastructure through the premiums collected from the ’Gili Green Award’ certificate.
Belowground communities in lowlands are less stable to climate extremes across seasons

Ecological responses to climate extremes vary drastically in different spatiotemporal contexts. For instance, the seasonal timing could be a major factor influencing community responses, but its importance is likely to vary at different spatial settings, such as high or low elevation. Here, we investigate how soil communities at high- and low-elevation sites respond to extreme heat events at different seasons (spring, summer and autumn). We simulated one-week heat events based on site-specific climatic history in several laboratory experiments using 360 field-collected soil cores, and measured the resistance and recovery of two major groups of soil biota: Collembola and fungi. We found that Collembola communities from low elevations showed the lowest resistance to extreme heat in spring and summer, with full recovery only observed in spring soils. However, species-specific analysis using joint species distribution models showed that cold-adapted taxa from lower elevations could not recover completely after extreme heat, suggesting range contractions due to climate extremes. Although fungal communities generally remained stable, pathogens increased and saprotrophs declined following extreme heat. Network analysis revealed that the connectance of negative associations between Collembola and fungi increased in response to extreme heat events, indicating that deleterious fungal species constrained the recovery of certain collembolan species. We provide experimental evidence for how heat events can restructure and destabilize ecological communities depending on spatiotemporal contexts like elevation and seasonal timing.

This study examines the interplay between linguistic theories and their application in literary and translation studies. Employing a qualitative methodology, the research analyzes existing studies through coding and thematic analysis, classifying them based on the degree of integration observed among linguistics, literary, and translation. The results indicate a more pronounced influence of linguistic frameworks within translation studies than literary studies. This disparity can be attributed to the intrinsic link between translation and linguistic principles, necessitating translators' engagement with grammar, syntax, semantics, context, and morphology. This suggests that the practical application of linguistic theories is more readily apparent in translation, where linguistic structures are actively manipulated and adapted. Further research is warranted to explore the potential impact of linguistic perspectives on diverse fields beyond literature and translation, such as management and medicine. This could involve investigating how linguistic analysis can inform communication strategies, cross-cultural understanding, and the interpretation of complex texts within these domains. Such interdisciplinary investigations could reveal valuable insights into the pervasive influence of language across various fields of study.

Philodendron ornamental plants have a unique and varied aesthetic beauty, making them sought after in the landscaping and decoration industry. However, accurate classification of the various Philodendron species is challenging due to their morphological similarities and complex variations. In this research, an approach using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) is introduced to classify Philodendron ornamental plants based on the image of their leaves. This method aims to automatically identify Philodendron species through the use of artificial neural networks trained on leaf images. A CNN architecture was developed which includes a convolution layer and a max-pooling layer to extract features from the input image hierarchically. Also applied are data augmentation techniques to increase the variety of training samples and reduce overfitting. Experimental results show that the proposed CNN method is able to classify Philodendron ornamental plants with good accuracy, reaching 95,00% on the test dataset. This research contributes to the development of an automatic system for identifying Philodendron ornamental plants, which can be used in planting, plant care and plant identification applications.
