The present work was undertaken to study the effects of feeding diets mixed with Fusarium sporotrichioides culture with 4 mg T-2 toxin/kg of diet, from 0 to 28 days of age and studied various haemato-biochemical parameters and sequential pathological changes on 14th, 21st and 28th day of experiment. Experimental group birds showed a significant decrease in total erythrocyte count, haematocrit values and leukocyte count at all stages. Significant increase in ALP, AST, ALT, BUN and creatinine and insignificant decrease in the total protein and albumin concentration were observed. Gross pathological changes observed as anemic carcasses, enlarged liver, kidneys and generalized atrophy of lymphoid organs. Histologically, extensive degenerative changes of hepatocytes, bile duct hyperplasia, degenerative changes in kidney sections, depletion of lymphocytes in different lymphoid tissues and glandular necrosis with MNC infiltration of muscles of glandular organ was uniformly observed. These changes are of more or less similar but of increased severity with the duration of experiment.
Genetic discrimination of Muzaffarnagri and Munjal sheep of northwestern semi arid zone of India based on microsatellite markers and morphological traits
Authors: YADAV DINESH KUMAR , ARORA REENA
Published: December 2023

Muzaffarnagri and Munjal are both mutton-type and highly course-wooled sheep of north-western-semi arid zone of India. Muzaffarnagri is a descript sheep breed while Munjal is not recognized as a breed at the national level. The present study examines the genetic differentiation based on microsatellite markers and morphometric traits using multivariate analysis. A total of 194 Munjal and 294 Muzaffarnagri sheep were described for 7 body measurements for morphometric characterization. The study included animals aged between 2- to 8-teeth, raised under field conditions in semi-arid environment. The univariate analysis revealed that Munjal sheep were larger and heavier than Muzaffarnagri sheep. The sexual dimorphism (m/f) was 1.13 (Munjal) and 1.11 (Muzaffarnagri). Munjal males were 37% heavier than females, whereas Muzaffarnagri males were 27% heavier than females. The coefficient of variation of all traits ranged from 4.14 to 33.67%. Flock and age effects established high heterogeneity among females of different flocks in both breeds/populations, whereas in males these effects showed homogeneity between flocks in Muzaffarnagri sheep and heterogeneity in Munjal sheep. Step-wise discriminant analysis revealed that paunch girth followed by tail length was more discriminating for the 2 sheep breeds/populations. The Mahalanobis distance (3.65, female; 4.56, male) between 2 sheep breeds was high and significant. Nearest Neighbour Discriminant Analysis showed that 86.31% of Muzaffarnagri females and 90.48% of Munjal males were classified into their source population. Microsatellite markers data showed high level of allelic richness (>6.0) and genetic diversity (>0.7) for both breeds/populations. Bayesian cluster analysis also indicated distinct clusters with average membership coefficient of 0.974 and 0.972 for Muzaffarnagri and Munjal sheep respectively. The results based on morphological and microsatellite data revealed that these sheep belong to genetically distinct groups. The findings emerged on genetic and phenotypic analyses would serve as important inputs for designing conservation and improvement strategy for these sheep breeds/populations.
Implementation Of Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision Making To Design An Expert System For Prediction Of Digestive Diseases At Dogs
Authors: Tisna Kusuma Irene , Kusnadi Adhi , Adline Twince Tobing Fenina
Published: December 2023

A dog is a kind of animal that is often looked after at home. Except for being known as a human's friend, a dog is also able to be trained to do many things. The age of the dog depends on the type of race. If it's fed well, exercises, and visits the doctor regularly, a dog can live longer. Dogs are very sensitive to certain diseases; one of them is intestinal disease. An expert system of a dog's digestion is built for the dog's lover so that they know exactly what's disease, which relies on the appearance of the symptoms. The symptoms of the different intestinal diseases look almost similar. For this reason, we need an appropriate method to get a precise result. Fuzzy multiple-criteria decision-making can help make the right decision that has some consideration points. This method is also equipped with optimal ultimate selections, which leads to a very precise result. The goal of this application is to know the right kind of disease and its therapy. This study has been validated by matching the results of the application with the doctor's diagnosis. The compatibility level is 80%.

The field of research in which this study falls is that of “sociocultural pragmatics”, which focuses on the influence of external factors (social and cultural) on the formulation and interpretation of linguistic forms. We opted for the speech act of apology, given the role that expressive speech acts have in the dynamics of interpersonal relationships. The need to investigate the speech act of the apology is given by its role in restoring the imbalance that can occur in human interaction, the apology being the means that can determine the “saving” of interactions and relationships between interlocutors. The corpus of the research is extracted from several textbooks of RFL as the pragmatic trend has been very successful in teaching foreign languages, the notion of speech act being present in the textbooks, and the communicative approach representing a sine qua non condition for learning a language foreign. The theoretical approach is based on the theory of speech acts of the American philosophers Austin and Searle and the verbal interaction studies of the French linguist Kerbrat-Orecchioni.
E-LEARNING SAU REIFICAREA ÎNVĂȚĂRII
Authors: Petrea Constantin
Published: December 2023

Starting from the social transformations and directions, we accept, volens nolens, that technology has long sat down at the teacher’s desk. We have also grown accustomed that its teaching strategy has nothing to do with the former classical teaching style anymore, no matter how modern it has become with its new teaching methods. So, regardless of its practical form (TV lesson, distance learning through different platforms), learning takes more and more practical and pragmatic shapes. It tends not to represent a complex formation which generates intellectual, cultural, moral abilities anymore, but a kit of competences, seemingly independent from the fundamental human values. Traditionally, learning takes place thanks to human interaction. Presently it seems to lose its constitutive elements and to proclaim bombastically the supremacy of the digital world that asks to be reified, trusted by heart; a surrogate with a trademark status. Will learning represent an intellectual effort, an effort of originality, competence and consequently of value, or will it sit comfortably in an „effort” of searching, juxtaposition and conformation to the immediate imperatives? In other words: brainly or library, seminar/debate/maieutics or chat GBT?

Religious education is an important dimension of education that contributes to a child's development. Through religious education the child has the opportunity to know God. To facilitate the process of knowing God, the subject of religion has been introduced in schools. This subject is part of the common core curriculum and one hour a week is allocated to it. Religious education is carried out at school in every class, but in kindergarten things are different. At pre-school level, the study of the elements of religious education is carried out differently, depending on the teacher. Some teachers do not emphasise religious education at all, others do so by introducing elements of religious education into other activities. Another part of the teachers carry out extra-curricular activities for the implementation of religious education, while other teachers carry out religious education electives. Therefore, teachers' involvement in the delivery of religious education at pre-school level is carried out in different ways. The level of teacher involvement is very important for the successful delivery of religious education at pre-school level. The question that led to the research, which used a questionnaire as the main instrument, was how much teachers are involved in the religious education of pre-school children. The research found that teachers are differently involved in children's religious education and that the positive results in this respect are influenced by the way they act

During preschool education, children assimilate important acquisitions of communication with themselves and others using role play. Studies show that promoting communication and social skills in children at early ages can be achieved naturally through play in kindergarten. In this way, role-play becomes both a daily practice of communication for the child and an efficient teaching instrument in exploring all dimensions of child development in a holistic way. The literature also mentions some important functions of kindergarten games, such as the information function, the adaptation function, the formative function, the socialisation function and the psychological function.

Published: December 2023

Objective: To analyze the pattern of infant development in indigenous culture according to previous studies. Methods: 42 articles were found and 12 were included in this study. Results: It can be concluded that developmental delay is more related to difficulty in accessing basic health services. Discussion: Language is present around 9-10 months, with children, at 11-12 months of age, trying to understand words and, at 16 months, waiting to produce words. In tribes in Peru and India, crawling was frequent at 12 months and communicative exchange at 8 to 13 months. In teaching and learning, 9- to 10-month-old children from diverse traditional cultural backgrounds learn by imitation, the most common housework actions. Conclusion: In order for there to be a cohesive identification with developmental delay, in addition to prenatal care and child care, parents should be educated about developmental milestones and associate them with Traditional Medicine.

Published: December 2023

Palliative care requires intervention in the care of patients in the initial, advanced or terminal stages of the disease, promoting comfort or control of signs and symptoms. According to this literature review, for patients in palliative care when there are signs of dyspnea leading to hypoxemia, the use of oxygen therapy may be indicated to correct the hypoxemic condition. The objective of this work is to understand the use of oxygen therapy in patients undergoing palliative care for advanced disease. The methodology used was a literature review research and the articles used were searched in the database: Pubmed, Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS) and Google Scholar. According to the studies carried out, it was observed that the critically ill patient who is under palliative care, the improper use of oxygen supplementation can result in serious and harmful effects on health. Dyspnea is one of the most frequent symptoms presented by individuals with terminal illnesses or at the end of life. For this reason, the correct use of oxygen therapy in terminally ill patients can be a good reversal of dyspnea, providing better comfort and increasing the individual's quality of life.

Published: December 2023

This study attempted a comprehensive analysis of the expansion strategy and obstacles of the modern private security industry. The private security industry has grown by overcoming the limitations of public security services and meeting individual and private needs, and to this end, it has been analyzed that it has been expanded through various strategies, including providing customized security services to individual and private areas, utilizing technology-oriented security services, and organically integrating manpower and machines to provide safety and status information.
However, the modern private security industry is facing a number of obstacles. Examples of these factors were self-accidents and crimes, lack of marketing, problems related to the manpower-oriented industrial structure, and the acidity of non-integrated organizations. These factors were found to undermine the perception and trust of private security services.
Accordingly, it was suggested that in order to strengthen the private security industry, ethics education, marketing strategies, improvement of manpower education and evaluation, and efforts to strengthen organizational centralization and cooperation should be needed.

MINDSET DE CRESCIMENTO PARA UMA VIDA MAIS FELIZ
Authors: Gustavo Lopes da Silva Carlos , Martins Geisse , Silva Ferreira Hugo , Braz Leite Parreiras Araujo Priscila
Published: December 2023

O presente trabalho teve como metodologia a revisão bibliográfica com uma abordagem qualitativa para responder questões sobre mindset de crescimento, inteligência emocional, crenças limitantes e felicidade. Mindset é a atitude mental ou modelo mental com que as pessoas enxergam a vida, a maneira como pensam e consequentemente a maneira com que agem em determinadas situações. O mindset configura e organiza os pensamentos e dá um padrão na condução dos eventos pessoais. Indivíduos com o mindset de crescimento acreditam que as habilidades podem ser desenvolvidas por meio de esforço, orientação e boas estratégias. Procuram desenvolver sua cognição por meio do aprendizado e do desafio, enxergando o fracasso não como falta de inteligência e competência, mas como um estímulo para o crescimento e ampliação de suas habilidades. Crenças limitantes são opiniões e pensamentos que as pessoas aceitam como verdades absolutas e impedem seu crescimento profissional e pessoal, fazendo com que um sonho ou um objetivo seja esquecido, desacreditando na possibilidade de alcançá-lo. A inteligência emocional aborda os aspectos do manejo emocional mais amplo, considerando o contexto em que o indivíduo identifica, percebe, usa e regula as suas emoções e as de outras pessoas. Felicidade é o equilíbrio entre o desenvolvimento da inteligência emocional, do mindset de crescimento e da fé inabalável na busca pelos objetivos. Felicidade não é a ausência de problemas, é saber resolvê-los com inteligência e alegria de viver.

Published: December 2023

As decisões dos seres humanos sempre sofreram influência em algum grau ou sentido. Sejam por necessidade física ou emocional, por amigos, filhas, esposas, contexto cultural, geográfico ou econômico. Desde a época do neandertal, que mudava de regiões, influenciado por conflitos ou mudanças climáticas. Decisões que parecem terem sido tomadas sem uma aparente persuasão, eventualmente existe algum tipo de associação mental onde se resgata opiniões, imagens e indicações de quem nem se lembra mais. Nos tempos atuais, o ser humano continua influenciando e sendo influenciado e passa a contar com o grande catalisador que se chama mídia digital. Este paper busca entender o contexto atual e participação da mídia digital na influência do comportamento do consumidor, especialmente no que tange a ascensão de novas empresas de tecnologia. Para isso, se utiliza de pesquisa e revisão bibliográfica para apoiar as ideias aqui colocadas. Por fim, este estudo permitiu compreender novas formas de influência da mídia digital no comportamento do consumidor e como empresas a utilizam para se adaptarem ao novo tempo tecnológico.

Authors: Gustavo Lopes da Silva Carlos , Martins Geisse , Silva Ferreira Hugo , José Pereira Lima Fábio
Published: December 2023

Em um ambiente político, social, econômico e tecnológico em contínuas alterações, a necessidade de inovação se tornou uma pedra angular para garantir a vantagem competitiva e a perenidade das organizações, independente de seus fins, lucrativos ou não, social, privado ou público. Nesse contexto, a capacidade de inovar não é mais uma escolha, mas uma exigência vital. A inovação possibilita que as organizações se antecipem às demandas da sociedade e do mercado, criem diferenciação em um ambiente cada vez mais saturado. Ao abraçar a inovação, as organizações podem identificar novas oportunidades de atuação, desenvolver produtos ou serviços únicos e aprimorar seus processos internos para alcançar níveis mais elevados de eficiência, permitindo se adaptarem de maneira ágil e permanecerem relevantes, mesmo diante de desafios inesperados. A busca constante pela inovação não apenas impulsiona o crescimento, mas também solidifica a posição das organizações em seu nicho de atuação. A inovação, quando incorporada à cultura organizacional, não é apenas uma estratégia momentânea, mas uma mentalidade que permeia todas as facetas da organização, estimulando o pensamento criativo e as práticas adaptativas. Neste cenário, o presente artigo, que se caracteriza como uma pesquisa bibliográfica, tem como objetivo, a partir de trabalhos publicados, construir uma compreensão de como a inovação ocorre, bem como a criação de uma cultura de inovação e práticas que a suporte.

Authors: Almufareh Maram Fahaad , Tehsin Samabia , Humayun Mamoona , Kausar Sumaira
Published: December 2023

Intellectual disability (ID) poses formidable challenges to individuals in acquiring knowledge and performing daily activities. This condition often stems from a variety of factors, such as congenital birth defects, genetic conditions, or acquired injuries, profoundly impacting crucial aspects like speech, mobility, social understanding, and adaptive skills. To address these challenges effectively, early intervention and specialized education play pivotal roles in providing children with intellectual disabilities the necessary support for their development. In this context, Artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a highly promising tool capable of facilitating effective communication for individuals with intellectual disabilities. AI technology offers personalized communication support, aids in early diagnosis, and provides configurable therapies tailored to the needs of those with intellectual disabilities. Moreover, AI’s contributions extend to enhancing the overall well-being of these individuals, empowering them to achieve greater independence and improved quality of life. Various treatment and support services, such as early intervention programs, special education, and vocational programs, play vital roles in fostering the growth and fulfillment of those with intellectual disabilities, enabling them to thrive in the society. The integration of AI technologies holds tremendous potential to further augment the lives of individuals with disabilities. AI-based applications, including real-time captioning, sign language translation, robotic assistance, virtual reality, and brain–computer interfaces, are transformative tools that promote inclusivity and independence for individuals with intellectual disabilities, paving the way toward a more accessible and empowering future.

EDUCAÇÃO ESCOLAR E DESENVOLVIMENTO DO PENSAMENTO POR CONCEITOS: CONTRIBUIÇÕES DA PSICOLOGIA HISTÓRICO-CULTURAL E DA PEDAGOGIA HISTÓRICO-CRÍTICA
Authors: Anjos Ricardo Eleutério dos
Published: December 2023

This article conducts an analysis of the relationship between school education and the development of thinking through concepts, based on the contributions of the historical-cultural psychology and the historical-critical pedagogy. The text is part of a theoretical-conceptual research that seeks to understand the relationship between psychology and education, based on the theoretical-methodological approach of historical-dialectical materialism. To present the results, three axes of analysis were selected: human psyche from the perspective of the historical-cultural psychology and the role of conceptual thinking in its development process; the concept as an activity of thought; and the role of school education in the process of conceptual development. The text highlights that the concept is an activity composed of a series of thought processes that reach their formative peak from adolescence onwards. However, it emphasizes that this process does not occur naturally, requiring that systematized content such as science, art, and philosophy is internalized by students to enable the development of this new form of thinking.
Agostinho e a fundamentação bíblica da intolerância religiosa:
Authors: Loque Flavio Fontenelle
Published: December 2023

A intolerância religiosa possui uma longa história. Na tradição cristã, a mais célebre justificativa do uso da força pelo poder temporal para promover a unidade da igreja foi elaborada por Agostinho (354-430) em alguns de seus tratados, cartas e sermões compostos ao longo da controvérsia donatista. Concentrando-se nas cartas relativas à coerção dos donatistas, especialmente na Carta a Vicente e na Carta a Bonifácio, o presente artigo pretende examinar a justificativa agostiniana do uso da força pelo poder temporal para promover a unidade da igreja com o intuito de explicar seu recurso às Escrituras. De maneira mais específica, almeja-se (i) identificar as principais passagens bíblicas que a embasam e (ii) demonstrar como elas se relacionam à concepção agostiniana (ii.a) da coerção e (ii.b) da relação entre poder temporal e igreja. A título de completude e clareza, pretende-se ainda (iii) propor uma breve história do donatismo e (iv) apresentar um quadro sinóptico, em apêndice, de todos os escritos agostinianos na controvérsia. Como de praxe na pesquisa em história da filosofia, a metodologia utilizada é a revisão bibliográfica.
Farghānī on the Muhammadan Reality
Authors: Chittick William C.
Published: December 2023

Perhaps the closest parallel to the Johannine Logos in Islam is found in the notion of the “Muhammadan Reality” (al-ḥaqīqat al-muḥammadiyya). The term was probably first used by Ibn ʿArabī (d. 1240), but the earliest detailed explanation of what it implies was provided by Saʿīd ibn Aḥmad Farghānī (d. 1300), an outstanding student of Ibn ʿArabī’s foremost propagator, Ṣadr al-Dīn Qûnawī.  Farghānī wrote a dense, two-volume commentary on Ibn al-Fāriḍ’s famous 760-verse qasida, Naẓm al-sulûk.  Deeply rooted in Islamic metaphysics, theology, and spiritual psychology, the commentary explains how the poet is describing Muhammad’s eternal archetype in God as both the means whereby God creates the universe and the ultimate returning place of all things.
Pastor versus Pajé:
Authors: Rodrigues Donizete
Published: December 2023

Apoiado em teorias antropológicas e sociológicas, categorias conceituais e densa etnografia, e numa perspectiva comparativa e intercultural, o objetivo principal do artigo é discutir o processo de mudança religiosa que está em curso na Terra Indígena Sororó (Suruí-Aikewara), no Pará. Com a introdução do protestantismo pentecostal, e utilizando a sua cosmologia animista anterior, a maioria das aldeias, em fase de conversão evangélica, incorpora, ressignifica e cria novas expressões do sagrado. De uma disputa real e simbólica, entre o Pastor e o Pajé, surgiu a categoria êmica de 'índio-crente' e um tipo ideal, no sentido weberiano, que estamos denominando de ‘pentecostalismo indígena'. Com uma lógica comparativa e complementar, discute-se também a etnografia feita com a pajé cunhã-karaí, da etnia Kaingang, em Santa Catarina. Nesses dois contextos indígenas, não ocorre uma ruptura com as cosmologias originais, mas sim uma lógica de correspondência, coabitação de contrários, estratégias de acumulação de diferenciadas lógicas de pensamento, de categorias simbólicas e práticas religiosas. Mesmo constituindo-se como paradigmas distintos, os dois modelos – xamanismo-indígena e cristianismo-pentecostal - estão imbricados numa teia de relações mágico-religiosas, materializadas num evidente hibridismo religioso, numa nova religiosidade sincrética e, na lógica lévi-straussiana, com eficácia de cura, real e/ou simbólica.
Leben im Übergang
Authors: Benke Christoph
Published: December 2023

Der Mensch ist ein "Brückenwesen" (Klaus Hemmerle). Übergänge bestimmen das Leben, nicht weniger in globalen, gesellschaftlichen und kirchlichen Zusammenhängen. Spiritualität soll Übergänge bestehen und in die Lebensgestalt integrieren helfen. Christliche Spiritualität bietet dafür einen Deuteschlüssel: Pascha – als der rettende Durchbruch und Übergang, vorgezeichnet im Weg des Gottesvolkes Israel und im Weg Jesu. Das Pascha ist nicht ort-los. Die Orte, Räume und Stationen dieses Weges sind die entscheidenden Stationen der Heilsgeschichte für alle Glaubenden wie für die Kirche. Der vorliegende biblische-systematische Entwurf verortet das Pascha-Mysterium in den Themen christlicher Spiritualität, wodurch sich neue Glaubens-Räume eröffnen. Der spirituellen Standort-Bestimmung dienen zusätzlich der Verweis auf exemplarische Biographien sowie Anregungen für die geistliche Praxis.

According to Fuertes-Olivera and Tarp (2020), lexicography is being currently shaped by three related tendencies: (a) the increasing use of disruptive technologies; (b) the necessity of finding new business models that can finance new lexicographic projects; and (c) the existence of growing competition from other information sources, e.g. Google. These trends have a particular influence on specialized dictionaries, defined here as tools that cover areas outside general cultural knowledge and its corresponding Language for General Purpose (LGP). This article adopts the view that lexicographers can deal with the abovementioned tendencies by preparing structured collec­tions of lexicographic data with details that can be easily converted into information and stored in DWSs that allow multiple combinations and possible retrievals. This option is suitable for the tenden­cies, as it uses adequate technologies, e.g. ways of profiling or individualizing searches, defends a new business model based on the creation of lexicographic data that can feed many dif­ferent tools, e.g. Write Assistant (Fuertes-Olivera and Tarp 2020), and offers better and more precise information than that of Google and other information tools.

Semantiese betrekkinge en woordeboekstrukture in 'n Afrikaanse tesourus
Authors: van der Merwe Michele F.
Published: December 2023

Semantic Relations and Dictionary Structures in an Afrikaans The­saurus. In a thesaurus, the structure of the vocabulary and the particular relationships between the lexical items in that vocabulary are foregrounded. A vocabulary shows a specific structure within which the different lexical items are connected to each other based on especially their meanings. The topic of this research is the lexicographic presentation of different semantic relations between lexical items in the different editions of the Groot Tesourus van Afrikaans and the Pharos Tesourus van Afrikaans. In a comparative study between the two editions, the following research question is asked: What changes and differences, if any, can be observed regarding the presenta­tion of semantic relations between the two editions? Semantic relations between lexical items (among others synonymy, hyponymy and oppositeness) and their presentation in both the­saurus editions are highlighted. The lexicographic handling of semantic relations is discussed against the background lexicography theory regarding dictionary structures and e-lexicography. Recommen­dations regarding a more user-oriented handling of semantic relations are made, also in relation to an electronic thesaurus. Keywords: thesaurus, synonym, opposite, hyponym, meronym, semantic relations, dictionary structure, contextual guidance, user directed, electronic thesaurus
Ways out of the Dictionary: Hyperlinks to Other Sources in German and African Online Dictionaries
Authors: Klosa-Kückelhaus Annette
Published: December 2023

This study examines a number of German and African online dictionaries to see how they make use of the possibility of linking to external sources (e.g. other dictionaries, encyclopae­dias, or even corpus data). The article investigates which hyperlinks occur at which places in the word articles and how these are presented to the dictionary users. This is done against the back­ground of metalexicographic considerations on the planning of outer features and the mediostruc­ture in online dictionaries as well as different categorizations of hyperlinks in online reference works. The results show that retro-digitized dictionaries make virtually no use of hyperlinks to external sources. Genuine online dictionaries, on the other hand, do, but often in a form that needs improvement, since, for example, explanations of dictionary-external links are not always found in the user guide and their design is different even within a dictionary. Keywords: online dictionaries, retro-digitized dictionaries, mediostruc­ture, hyperlinks, African languages, German

This study investigates the effectiveness of a remediation learning strategy in improving the performance of Ordinary level secondary school students in physics. A total of sixty-seven students from G.S Mushongi in Kirehe District participated in the research. The study used a Physics Achievement Test to collect data, with students undergoing pre-tests and post-tests. The collected data underwent comprehensive analysis, employing descriptive and inferential statistics, presented using Microsoft Excel and SPSS version 21.0 software. The results revealed a highly statistically significant improvement (p < .001) in the mean performance of Ordinary level students (senior one, senior two, senior three), irrespective of gender. However, a noticeable gender disparity emerged among senior two students, with male students exhibiting a statistically significant advantage (p < .05, η = .059) over their female counterparts. No statistically significant difference (p > .05) was observed among male and female students in senior one and three after implementing remediation-based learning. To conclude, this research underscores the importance of targeted remediation learning strategies in enhancing academic performance, emphasizing the necessity for integrating different learner-centered approaches to address specific challenges students face in learning difficult physics concepts.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a developmental disorder characterized by a group of movement and posture problems that occur as a result of a lesion in the immature brain and affect the development of the brain. Our study aimed to examine and compare the functional level, trunk control, and respiratory functions in children with cerebral palsy (CP). There were a total of 61 children with CP, 51% female, and 49% male, with a mean age of 11.21±3.02 years. Demographic and disease-related information were evaluated with ‘sociodemographic data form,’ functional levels with the ‘Gross Motor Function Classification System, trunk control with the ‘Trunk Control Measurement Scale’ (TCMS), and respiratory functions with ‘the respiratory function test’ using a spirometer. The functional levels of children with CP, 54% were Level 1, 26% were Level 2 and 20% were Level 3. In intergroup analysis, the mean trunk control of the children with Level 1 and 2 were statistically significantly higher than the children in Level 3 (p
