Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly entering modern medical practice. Many routine clinical tasks, from imaging and automated diagnostics to robotic surgery, cannot be imagined without the use of AI. Neural networks show impressive results when analyzing a large amount of data obtained from standard automated perimetry, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus photography. Currently, both in Russia and abroad mathematical algorithms are being developed that allow detection of glaucoma based on certain signs. This article analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of employing artificial intelligence in ophthalmological practice, discusses the need for careful selection of the criteria and their influence on the accuracy of calculators, considers the specifics of using mathematical analysis in suspected glaucoma, as well as in an already established diagnosis. The article also provides clinical examples of the use of glaucoma risk calculator in the routine practice of an ophthalmologist.

PURPOSE. To identify clinical and epidemiological features of the course of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in patients with a verified family history of the disease.

METHODS. The study protocol included data from 103 people (103 eyes), among them 37 (35.9%) men and 66 (64.1%) women. Group 1 (44 people, 44 eyes) included patients with sporadic glaucoma. Group 2 consisted of patients with a hereditary form of the disease (41 people, 41 eyes). Healthy individuals (18 people, 18 eyes) comprised the control group. Mean age of all patients at the time of final examination was 60.6 (56.0; 66.3) years. In all cases, the diagnosis was established in accordance with the system of differential diagnosis of diseases. Examination was always carried out in person and included routine and specialized study methods (static automated perimetry, optical coherence tomography, examination of the thickness of the cornea in the central optical zone).

RESULTS. The mean age of patients with a family history at the time of POAG diagnosis was 59.8 (53.9; 63.1) years, in patients with sporadic glaucoma — 63.85 (58.5; 67.9) years. Therefore, POAG in the group with a family history was diagnosed 4.05 years earlier. No significant differences in the structural and functional characteristics of the visual analyzer were established. A greater number of patients with the sporadic form of the disease undergo glaucoma surgery (47.7% and 34.1%, respectively) in comparable disease duration.

CONCLUSION. In people with a family history of glaucoma, preventive screening should be carried out at an earlier age than the average in the population.

Quem tem que deslocar-se fora de seu país de origem, ainda de maneira forçosa como acontece no caso dos refugiados, passa por diversos processos adaptativos e um dos mais importantes consiste no aprendizado da língua do país de acolhida para romper o silenciamento imposto pelo exilio e alcançar umas competências comunicacionais básicas para se desenvolver e interagir socialmente quando o idioma difere da língua materna. Por outra parte, muitos escritores e pessoas que tem na palavra seu epicentro de ação têm sofrido os malefícios da tradução alheia as sutilezas da linguagem e ao desconhecimento do substrato cultural de origem. O presente artigo convida a refletir respeito às implicações de quem perde sua língua maternal e tem que reaprender uma nova para desenvolver-se em uma nova sociedade e traz à tona alguns das considerações mais relevantes na filologia no que concerne à tradução e sua distância de interpretação. Ao final, também se acolhe e abraça desde a língua em respeito pela diversidade e a interculturalidade.
Second Language Acquisition and Some of its Aspects
Authors:   Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Stalyanova Nadezhda , Krejcova Elena ,   Masaryk University
Published: May 2023

The goal of our study is to present the issues of second language acquisition. It is an interdisciplinary scientific field that tries to point out the processes that accompany the learning of each additional language (after the first, mother tongue). Special attention is devoted to the role of the first language in relation to second language acquisition, and we juxtapose various perspectives – from accepting the statement that first language influence on the second one is minimal, to the concept of first language influence on the second one in the form of linguistic transfer, which is also the reason for occurrence of a number of errors in the acquisition process. The influence of the first language on the acquisition and afterwards on the use of the second language can be positive, negative, or even zero. Positive influence is manifested by the fact that the practical and theoretical knowledge from the mother tongue, the language habits and skills facilitate the process of acquisition and usage of the next language as a communication tool. Negative influence is manifested at all language levels though the so-called negative transfer or interference – these are the errors occurring as a result of the influence of the first language on the second, and having the characteristics of the first.

Authors:   South-West University “Neofit Rilski”, Sakareva Ivanka
Published: May 2023

This study investigates the impact of stress on twenty interpreters during simultaneous interpreting with objectively measurable parameters recorded using Alive Clinical Version physiological monitoring software, using a Somatic Vision 8-channel GP8 Amp biofeedback system. The purpose of the article is to describe the model developed to functionally investigate stress in interpreters by recording skin conductance levels during simultaneous translation from English into Bulgarian and how stress levels correlate with interpreters English proficiency levels and how stress affects language production during translation. The purpose of testing and implementing this model is to develop individualized protocols to reduce interpreters’ stress. The target group includes 20 undergraduate and postgraduate students studying at the Faculty of Philology of the South-West University of whom 11 are women and 9 are men with at the age of 21 to 37. The study design included measurement of skin-galvanic conductance variability (which is an objective measure of stress level), during rest 1 (start, about 2 min), simultaneous translation (up to 5 min), rest 2 (finish, about 2 min).
Ammianus Marcellinus and the Western Armenian Consonantism
Authors:   Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Goliyski Petar
Published: May 2023

If not the most essential, but at least the most noticeable difference between the two forms of the modern Armenian language – the Eastern and the Western – is the difference in the pronunciation of a large part of the consonants. In initial position and within the word, the voiceless consonants of Eastern Armenian language have voiced pronunciation in Western Armenian and the voiced consonants of the Eastern Armenian, especially the explosive ones, have voiceless pronunciation in Western Armenian. The devoicing has been already found in Old Armenian texts from the 10th – 11th centuries, but a similar case has been discovered much earlier – in the 7th century, in a text of the so-called ‘Anonymous interpreter’ (Armenian: Անանուն մեկնիչ), a commentator of ‘The Art of Grammar’ of Dionysius Thrax (170 – 90 BC), whose work had been translated into Old Armenian in the 5th century AD. In the commentaries of the Anonymous Interpreter there is an alternating use of the forms bazuk ~ pazuk ~ p'azuk (‘hand, arm’), which suggests that the devoicing of the explosive consonants in the Armenian language was a very old phenomenon. An even earlier and neglected example of devoicing of the explosive consonants in the Old Armenian language (Grabar) could be found in the Roman History of Ammianus Marcellinus, a Latin speaking author who worked in the second half of the 4th century. Writing about the events of 368 – 369 AD, Ammianus mentions an Armenian eunuch named Cylaces, which name was a Greco-Latin form of the Syriac-Armenian personal name Glak, but in its Western Armenian pronunciation, Klak. This example not only lowers the timeline of this typical Western Armenian phonetic phenomenon by as much as three centuries, but also supports the existing hypothesis that the devoicing of the explosive consonants in the Armenian language already existed in the preliterate period, that is, before 405 AD.

Contemporary society is characterized by swift advances in science and technologies which leads to major changes in people’s lives. The significant evolution of science, mathematics, technologies, and engineering over the recent decades has got obvious consequences for people and society as a whole. One of the educational models in most countries aims at teaching through the use of certain interconnections between natural sciences, mathematics, technologies, and engineering in primary, secondary, and highest education. In recent years this model has got an effect on the process of education in the Republic of Bulgaria and has an important role in applying innovative pedagogy practices, forming 21stcentury skills in children, and facilitating their creative activities. The purpose of its application in kindergarten and primary school is to create conditions for the children of preschool and primary school age to actively participate in the process of education in mathematics. Within the frame of this vision, it is important that the process of teaching mathematics engages them not only with solving mathematical tasks thus developing students’ thinking but also in the process of their reasoning to form problem-solving skills and to help the students to realize the applicability of mathematics. The article systematized theoretical concepts related to aspects of integrity in education and presents a methodology system of work with some elements from geometry in the course of mathematics in pre-school and primary school education.

Authors:   Trakia University, Georgieva Diyana
Published: May 2023

In recent years, the scientific ambition for in-depth study of the nature of sign language have stimulated intensive research in the Bulgarian educational space, which led to a radical change in views on its status as a full-fledged language, equal in complexity and capabilities with a spoken language. Nevertheless, in the Bulgarian literary fund there are almost no publications related to research discussing the problem of students’ education in BGSL in terms of variables that have an influence on its study. Among the complex network of factors determining the mastery of SL as a second sign system (L2), motivation is a key factor. The current study is dedicated to its effect. It includes the participation of 80 hearing students learning the basics of BGSL as a second language. The results showed a statistically significant influence of the motivational factor on the formation of gesture-sign students’ competence in BGSL as E2.

Islamic Guidance on Resolving Marital Discord : A Critical Analysis
Authors: Sabbir Sabbir Hasan
Published: May 2023

Humans are social beings. Society does not develop without family ties. Islam has given special importance to the formation of a family-centred society. According to Islam, the purpose of marriage is not only to fulfil biological needs; rather, marriage is a sacred relationship with mutual responsibility, respect, love, and sincerity. Marriage contributes to the creation of a family between a man and a woman. Similarly, in married life, love creates affection between each other and binds the bond of dignified living and peaceful harmony. Husband and wife complement each other in family life. Both husband and wife come from two different families to form a family. As life goes on, both of them have some misunderstandings. Small mistakes lead to big mistakes. If these mistakes are not corrected, marital discord begins. Due to marital discord, the abode of happiness called family once turned into hell. This conflict goes to a serious level and sometimes becomes life-threatening. Islam urges the maintenance of marital relations until the end of life, and to that end, it prescribes patience, tolerance, and responsible behavior. In this research, the causes that are responsible for marital discord have been revealed, and an attempt has been made to determine what the husband and wife should do by searching for a clear solution in the light of Islamic Shari'ah.

Published: May 2023

Teenagers are the millennial generation who have a fundamental role in the industrial revolution 4.0 era. Based on the 2019 infographic data regarding profiles of social media users in Indonesia, it has known that social media users are dominated by residents, with an age range of 18-34 years. This age range is a person's productive age, or the phase of adolescence and early adulthood. Then, the following questions arise, what is the condition of the youth in Ponorogo Regency? Do they understand this critical role? What are they doing in their digital lives? Are they following the spirit of the industrial revolution 4.0? Based on the results of the data analysis, it shows that the contributions of adolescents, both conceptually and contextually, were formed based on adolescents' understanding of the industrial revolution 4.0. Conceptually, the comprehension of adolescents in Ponorogo Regency about the 4.0 industrial revolution is still limited to an understanding of the opportunities and challenges they face. They do not fully understand the concept of the 4.0 era. This understanding will shape the extent of contextual contributions of youth in the 4.0 era. The role of youth in Ponorogo Regency is still low, only reaching 34.5%. However, their contributions are quite diverse, starting from the fields of business, education, and social activities. Cognitively, the contribution of adolescents, both conceptually and contextually, is formed through a cognitive process that includes remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. From this process, the youth of Ponorogo Regency is still at the applying stage, namely how teenagers use a procedure to solve a problem that is happening or in doing a given task.

Authors: Adila Rachmad , Wibowo Padmono
Published: May 2023

Lack of understanding of the function of human resource management that affects correctional officers' performance at the Class IIB Detention Center, Demak. Therefore, research is needed to determine the inhibiting factors and strategies for improving officers' performance. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach. The research was carried out at the Class IIB Detention Center, Demak. Primary data were collected through interviews and observations with the Informants of the Head of Class IIB Detention Center Demak, the Head of the Detention Center Security Unit, the Head of the Detention Service Sub-Section and the Head of the Management Sub-Section. In comparison, secondary data collects the literature on HRM and employee performance. Data analysis uses the Miles and Huberman model, where the data and information obtained will be processed through data reduction, data presentation, and data analysis. The results showed that the factors for the lack of understanding of the HRM function were lack of training and compensation, lack of supporting facilities, increased workload, and decreased motivation and soft skills of correctional officers. Several management process concepts include PDCE (Plan, Do, Check, Evaluate) and PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Action). However, the POAC concept is more widely used and applied because it is more suitable for each management level. Therefore, to improve the performance of correctional officers, a unique strategy is needed to be called POAC (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling).

Authors: Fery Hidayat Yogi
Published: May 2023

Islamic Daʻwah refers to the activities of teaching Islamic Sharia and preaching to people to believe in God. Da'wah contains two main elements: Amar Ma'ruf (teaching people to do good) and Nahi Munkar (preventing humans from performing wrongdoings). A preacher will face various risks in teaching the people about Amar Ma'ruf Nahi Munkar. Therefore, this study was performed to explain the construction of daʻwah to Umma al-daʻwah by Rasulullah Saw, as mentioned in the content of hadiths in Kutub al-sittah concerning Daʻwah to Umma al-daʻwah. This descriptive qualitative study regarded data from hadith texts. The data were first reduced and analyzed to obtain broad conclusions. Then, data were grouped, categorized, and analyzed by using content analysis method. The hadith texts describe Mohammad Prophet's Daʻwah as promoting monotheism, being gentle, polite, and avoiding wrongdoing; making things easier instead of complicating them; providing good news instead of fear-mongering messages; working collaboratively and avoiding disagreements; and gradually teaching the Sharia.

Authors: Ahmad Muntazir , Batool Saima
Published: May 2023

The present research is about the Postcolonial study of Ray Bradbury's short story "Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed." Further, this research explores the issue of identity in the short story presented by the author. In the modern world, with the increase in immigrant numbers and the constitution of countries with different cultural diversities, identity issues arise. The researchers discuss the issue of identity in the postcolonial world and how the theorists viewed and presented their ideas about constructing identity in immigrants from these countries who suffered from facing the Diasporas and the dilemma of the difficulty of growing their identity. Furthermore, the paper investigates postcolonial novelists, especially in the novel "Dark They Were and Golden-Eyed ."As postcolonial theorists considered the issue of identity as one of its essential discussions, novelists also exposed the conditions of identity crises that emerged in the postcolonial period. Therefore, the method undertakes to apply postcolonial theories to the above novel, Dark They Were and Golden-Eyed. Different aspects and elements of Post Colonialism have been described in the research to explore the Post Colonialism presented in the novel, like ambivalence, racism, otherness, and hybridity.

Published: May 2023

Objective: This paper investigates a range of optimization approaches for advanced composite structural items made of polymers with inclusion of specially formulated glass fibers (GFs) (either continuous linear strands or mesh matrix). Methods: Ridged polymer test panels were tested for flexural strength using variable loads (ASTM D790 standard). Tested variables included: (a) thickness and amount of GF dispersed within polymer matrix, (b) addition and placement of open mesh woven element on open flat surfaces of polymer panel, and (c) addition and selective placement of tension setters on ridges. Results: Optimal amounts of additives, design and compositions were determined for strength and impact resistance of polymer composites. Tension setters were found to be best embedded in laterally extending rib elements of composite structure, preferably as end-portions of rib elements. Open mesh woven element should be placed strategically within polymeric body to provide impact strength where needed the most. Conclusion: These optimized composite structural designs showed higher strength (up to 331% of the base polymer), higher impact resistance (up to 551% of the base), with additional benefit of reduced weight by 15-21%, as compared to conventional polymer panels.

Published: May 2023

Climate Change is a serious risk to crops as it harnesses the survival of plants and is a major cause for drought stress in many areas of the world including Pakistan. Most of the cultivated area in Pakistan is vulnerable to drought conditions brought about by climate change, leading to fewer productive harvests.   Wheat is Pakistan's major staple food crop, but it needs to be enhanced and developed to be more tolerant to drought conditions. We all know that future water crisis would affect us in many ways, and we need plant, which can cope up with water deficiency, otherwise it will be leading grains type of country in near future. To investigate the drought tolerance in wheat, we cultivated fifteen wheat genotypes in a dry and arid region of Layyah under water stress. The plants were irrigated at the initial stages and left them to grow outdoors without irrigation for six weeks. The study's objective was to evaluate these mutants' performance under drought stress. Data were collected for yield and yield-related traits, including plant height, number of tillers, number of spikes, spike length, number of spikelets per spike, grains per spike (each with a part), and grain yield. Underwater, stress conditions, there were significant differences in all the parameters.  In the experiment, genotypes Barani-83 and Subhani-21 were drought-tolerant and significantly increased parameters such as the number of grains per spike and grain yield. These parameters can be used as selection criteria for breeding programs of drought-tolerant varieties.
EVALUATION OF COTTON GENOTYPES SEEDLINGS FOR DROUGHT STRESS TOLERANCE
Authors: KHAN MF , MANZOOR T
Published: May 2023

The present studies clearly indicated that expressivity of some of the genes was changed due to the simulated drought conditions. The root increases in length in response to drought thus utilizes more photosynthates changing the sink and ultimately reducing the shoot growth. The shift due to drought indicated that the growth and morphological development of root system are under genetic control but may be modified by environmental influences. To screen out drought tolerant and drought susceptible genotypes on the basis of morphological seedling traits such as root characters and root / shoot length ratio. After screening, three drought tolerant genotypes namely BH-124,149-F and DPL-26 and three drought susceptible genotypes i.e. CIM-446, FH-945 and VH-28 were identified which may be used in further hybridization programme to develop drought tolerance varieties and hybrids.

A principios del año 2006, fue tomando forma la idea de que la Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua tuviera una revista arbitrada e indexada de calidad. Como estrategia inicial, se realizaron visitas a diversas Universidades del país, que tenían experiencia en la publicación de una revista periódica, caracterizada por un sistema de estricto arbitraje o revisión por pares, llamado también peer review o reference system. Como resultado de una serie de  reuniones  de trabajo, con los editores y grupos  de árbitros de las publicaciones académicas seleccionadas, se elaboró y presentó el proyecto para la creación de una revista multidisciplinaria y se eligió como nombre TECNOCIENCIA Chihuahua.

Obesity is a significant global health concern; the prevalence continues to rise in developing and developed countries. According to World Health Organization (WHO) data, 39% of the world population over the age of 18 is overweight, including 13% being obese. Numerous studies have identified an association between obesity and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including heart failure (HF). Obesity is additionally related to an increase in the occurrence of cardiovascular (CV) disorders, including hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM), dyslipidemias, and sleep apnea syndrome. This review investigates the various mechanisms and pathogenesis of obesity-related HF and the obesity paradox phenomena, aiming to shed light on futuristic directive approaches in treating HF-related obesity.

Many Agroforestry programmes, started during 1970s in various countries, suffered on account of ignoring the socio-economic structure of farm households in the design of these programmes. The empirical studies on behaviour of households on on-farm tree cultivation are now gaining importance in deign socially acceptable Agroforestry programmes to encourage Agroforestry uptake. The study has been carried out in Jaintia hills district of Meghalaya which is located in Indian Eastern Himalayas. The data have been collected on a pre-structured schedule in personal interviews with the head of the households. Amongst social factors family literacy, government employment, size of agricultural holding, religion and mobility of head of household showed significant influence on on-farm tree cultivation. Cropping intensity, size of agricultural holding, annual agricultural income, on-farm income, total household income and area under paddy cultivation were the economic aspects of arm households which influenced cultivation of trees on the farms. The study implies need to consider socio-economic factors to encourage the level of on-farm tree cultivation and design socially acceptable Agroforestry programmes.

In this paper, a new fuzzy integral transform is introduced and called “fuzzy Mohand transform” which is based on a mathematical formula of the classical Mohand transform. The fuzzy technique that is well-established from fuzzy Laplace transform, agrees with the neutrosophic logic. In fact, in mathematical field, neutrosophic logic, which is based on the idea of indeterminacy, is introduced as a generalization of fuzzy logic. In Neutrosophic logic, there are three values, grade of membership of Truth values (T), Indeterminate values (I) and False values (F). To demonstrate this mixed technique, a realistic example about heating system is discussed as an illustrative example for solving an ordinary differential equation of first order using fuzzy Mohand transform with neutrosophic numbers as an initial condition.

Better classroom evaluation may have positive effects on students' learning, according to research and practice from the past ten years. United Arab Emirates (UAE) values the assessment of procedures used in teaching, as an integral part in the evaluation of their effectiveness. Through evaluation, the results realized, help in measuring the effectiveness of curricula and methods used in teaching. This, therefore, affects stakeholders in education, the teachers, and most importantly, the students. This study aims at cross-examining students’ performance in mathematics, especially at the high school level, in the UAE. Also, this evaluation has a multi-criteria so the concept of multi-criteria decision-making is used in this paper. But this process has vague and uncertain information, so the neutrosophic theory is used to solve this problem. The neutrosophic sets integrated with the MCDM methodology. The neutrosophic AHP method is used to compute the weights of criteria and evaluate the classroom.
Particle-Hole Ansatz in the Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard Model
Authors:   Department of Physics and Physical Oceanography University of North Carolina Wilmington, Wilmington, Alexanian Alexanian
Published: May 2023

A recurrence relation ansatz between annihilation operators applied to the hopping interaction term of the Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard model (JCHM) reduces the JCHM to that of the ordinary Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM), albeit, with a boson energy depending on the hopping strength. This allows us to calculate the phase diagram for the Mott-to-superfluid phase transition and the critical hopping strength as a function of the detuning.

Published: May 2023

At the beginning of XXI century cardiovascular diseases continue to be the most significant problem for modern medicine as the field of theoretical scientific
knowledge, practical medicine, social, economic and domestic political spheres of activity in most countries of the world, and against the background of the
outbreak of modern pandemics they have taken on the outlines of serious challenges to humanity, its viability.
Particular attention is drawn to the fact that the population of the whole world feels the consequences of cardiovascular diseases expressed in the steady
disability of the adult population, demographic decline, low life expectancy and high mortality rates.
As analyzed in the article, these facts have become a serious basis for finding the ways to combat cardiovascular diseases on a global scale coordinating the
actions and efforts of different countries in a single common task.
In the work the author focuses the main attention on how important it is to convey the message to the international community that the problem of
cardiovascular diseases is not only a strictly medical one and that it is beyond the power of healthcare organizations to solve it alone, even having mobilized
all their capabilities.
The purpose of the research:To create a general picture of cardiovascular pathology in the modern world as a global social problem in order to find ways to
correct the activities of national and international health organizations, as well as non-medical organizations to combat heart pathologies.

Objective: To assess the knowledge of the Saudi population on peptic ulcer diseases (PUD) and their risk factors. To evaluate their awareness and practices of the preventive methods used in daily practic-es.
Methods: This was an online cross-sectional survey that included residents of all five regions of Saudi Arabia regardless of nationality. The survey was distributed in both the Arabic and English languages to approach more individuals from different backgrounds.
Results: There were 784 participants, of which 6.1% non-Saudis and 93.9% were Saudis. 63.5 % of participants selected “H. Pylori” as a risk factor that may lead to PUD. Among other risk factors, 39.2% selected smoking and 37.5% selected NSAIDs. There was a statistically significant correlation (p=0.03) between a question about knowing what H. pylori are and the respondents' level of education, with 77.3% of respondents with a high school diploma answering "No" and 63% of respondents with a postgraduate degree answering "Yes". Only 32.8% of the participants knew about H. Pylori, when hands are not washed after using the restroom or before eating or preparing food, pylori can spread. 56% of respondents were unaware that NSAIDs should be taken with or after a meal. In addition, on-ly 50% of smokers were aware that smoking contributed to the pathogenesis of PUD.
Conclusion: This research revealed that very little is known about H. Pylori and how it spreads, as well as the adverse effects of NSAIDs and the precautions that must be taken to avoid them. This demon-strates the need for public education about these risk factors and the diseases they may cause, as well as the significance of physician-patient discussions to ensure patients have the necessary knowledge prior to starting NSAID therapy.
