Antifungal effect of Euphorbia prostrata ethyl acetate extract on Microsporum audounii-induced skin dysfunction diseases in male rats
Authors: Familusi Wuraola , Oyedeji Folashade , Musa Jeffrey
Published: January 2025

The search for medicinal plants as viable substitutes for antifungal drug development is crucial due to the increasing threat of multiple drug resistance in global health. However, some of these medicinal plants have become prominent candidates due to reported biological functions such as antimicrobial properties, especially when it comes to treating drug-resistant skin infections with no or little side effects. Therefore, this study was designed to assess the topical application of ethyl acetate fraction of Euphorbia prostrata leaf extract on haematological parameters of rats infected with fungi. Cold maceration was employed to extract Euphorbia prostrata leaves, followed by vacuum liquid chromatography to fractionate the extract into n-hexane, ethyl acetate, chloroform, and methanol fractions. Phytochemicals and antioxidants assays determined the most active fraction, while antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) gauged its efficacy. Cream formulations ranging from 0.05% to 0.4% of ethyl acetate fraction were developed as antifungal agents and tested on rat model. The results indicated that the ethyl acetate fraction's dominance in flavonoid and phenolic content, alongside potent antioxidant activity. Treatment with both standard medication and the plant extract significantly elevated haemoglobin concentrations, with the 0.2% plant extract exhibiting the most pronounced effect. Monocyte counts increased notably in rats treated with varying concentrations of the plant extract, particularly in the 0.2% group. Eosinophil proportions were highest in rats treated with 0.4% ethyl acetate fraction cream, highlighting its efficacy against fungal infections. Overall, the study suggests the potential of Euphorbia prostrata extract in modulating erythropoiesis, immune function, and coagulation, thereby offering a promising avenue for addressing fungal infections and associated haematological disturbances.
Mathematical modelling and virtual design of metamaterials for reducing noise and vibration in built-up structures
Authors: Akaligbo Emmanuel , Oyem Anselm , Babarinsa Olayiwola
Published: January 2025

Noise and vibration pose significant challenges in built-up structures, affecting structural integrity and occupant comfort. Traditional materials often fail to address these issues effectively across all relevant frequencies, particularly in urban and industrial environments. This paper presents a mathematical modeling approach and virtual design framework for developing metamaterials specifically tailored to mitigate noise and vibration in built-up structures. By leveraging finite element analysis, dynamic energy analysis, and optimization algorithms, the study demonstrates how metamaterials can create frequency-specific barriers. Comparative analyses with previous studies, performance metrics, and sensitivity evaluations reveal the robustness and unique contributions of this approach. Validation through simulations and benchmarking confirms the model’s effectiveness, enhancing structural resilience and human comfort in complex environments. Additionally, this study surveys natural metamaterials and the urban environment. The major findings highlight the effectiveness of natural metamaterials (NMs) in ground vibration attenuation, offering diverse applications and proposing a roadmap for developing natural materials for clean and quiet environments
SAVIPS: Uma Infraestrutura Veicular Autônoma em Pequena Escala para ADAS
Authors: Coelho Alexsandro , Silva-Filho Abel G.
Published: January 2025

Traffic accidents are a leading cause of global mor tality, with 1.35 million fatalities and 50 million injuries annually, mainly due to human error, such as recklessness and alcohol use. This paper presents SAVIPS, a small-scale autonomous vehicle infrastructure to test Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), enabling the validation of safety features without the costs and risks of full-scale vehicle testing. The infrastructure integrates speed sensors, cameras, and communication modules for real-time evaluation. Despite limitations in results, such as 14-hour battery life and ±3 degrees lateral control accuracy, they validate component efficiency. Intra-vehicle communication used 0.309% of the CAN bus capacity, and inter-vehicle com munication showed high reliability, with one packet lost per 250 transmitted. These results highlight the potential of scaled models in advancing autonomous technologies and improving road safety.
Farneback Optical Flow Application for Automotive Onboard Vibration Monitoring
Authors: Pezenatto da Silva Leonardo , Pastuch Luiz Fernando Martins
Published: January 2025

This research explores a vision-based vibration monitoring algorithm that may be used to detect and measure vibrations on a vehicle with an onboard camera. To achieve this, we explored Optical Flow algorithms techniques such as Lucas-Kanade, Horn-Schunck and Farneback to analyze pixel motion between frames and relate it to vibrations. For testing and validation, CARLA simulator was used to acquire the front camera image and IMU data in scenarios where the vehicle drives over road bumps and potholes. The visual vibration estimation was compared with the z-axis acceleration data of an IMU and the results shows that it is possible to use optical flow methods to detect vibration on the vehicle.

Exploring the Interplay of Vulnerability and Violence in Institutions through the Case of Refugees’ Labor Market Integration in Germany
Authors: Göttsche Sandra , Rojas-Matas Yaiza
Published: January 2025

This article elaborates on how structural vulnerabilities can emerge in an institutional context. Looking at the structural violence-vulnerability nexus, we argue that there are vulnerant factors that constitute the link between a violent context and the probability of risk related to vulnerability. In particular, we analyze the Jobcenter in Germany and refugees’ path towards labor market integration. We take a closer look at those vulnerant factors that specifically affect refugees’ lives in contrast to non-refugees. Namely, an unclear residency permit perspective, language barriers, a lack of bureaucratic understanding, a lack of certification, a lack of social integration, psychological problems, and subjective opinions of case managers. Finally, we provide policy recommendations on how to reduce refugees’ structural vulnerabilities in this context.
Kettenumwandlungen nach dem Umwandlungsgesetz
Authors: Redler Simon
Published: January 2025

If the law does not regulate a transformation act for the target structure, the solution might be an unregulated combination of several acts. The author first identifies cases of application and motives and then the legal basis of such ‘chain transformations’. On the basis of the knowledge gained, he analyses the permissibility of various chain transformation constellations, which he systematically divides into three case groups: The preciding merger/division, the preciding new formation and the preciding conversion. The work offers practitioners a guide for the preparation and implementation of the numerous potentially conceivable chain transformation constellations. The author is a notary and publishes in the field of company law.
Aristotle, Alexander and Seleucus : virtue and legitimacy of Hellenistic kings
Authors: Kvapil Ondřej
Published: January 2025

This article aims to show an ideological link between the ideas on rulership of the Philosopher Aristotle, king Alexander III. of Macedon and king Seleucus I. of the Seleucid empire. These ideas concern the ideal form of monarchical government, the unique virtue of a ruler, the implications of a ruler's superior qualities and their consequences. The article will seek to provide evidence for such a link by presenting several passages from various relevant sources, such as the philosophical, historical, and biographical works of Aristotle, Arrian, Plutarch and Appian. First, the ideas and thoughts expressed in Aristotle's Politics on virtue and an ideal kingdom shall be analysed; then, their connection with Alexander the Great shall be explored; and finally, their influence extending to Seleucus shall be examined. A focus shall be concentrated on various speeches claimed to be spoken by Alexander and Seleucus, and the similarity between them and their contexts. Some examples of theories possibly contradicting the claim of the article shall be briefly discussed and commented on. Hopefully, this article will shed some light on the notably Ancient Greek origins of Hellenistic absolute monarchy conducive to their proper understanding.
Die antiken Ortsnamen mit griechischer und lateinischer Etymologie im Ebenen Kilikien
Authors: Linko Alla
Published: January 2025

This article is devoted to a historical and philological analysis of the ancient toponymy of the Cilician Plain (Κιλικία πεδιάς) – a region of Asia Minor lying at the junction of Anatolia and Syria. Ancient toponyms of Greek and Latin origin are studied in detail for etymology, morphological structure and lexico-semantic features. Particular attention is paid to the use of toponyms in texts of different times, as well as epigraphic and numismatic sources, recording all surviving attestations, as well as to the problem of identifying the original form of a toponym and its etymologization. The features of the renaming of geographical objects in the Hellenistic-Roman period are considered. The paper contains an attempt to create a general classification of ancient Greek and Latin toponyms of Plain Cilicia according to chronology and to determine the word-formation models of toponyms peculiar to each historical period. The question of the possible attribution of some toponyms to the epoch of the «Sea Peoples» is being considered.
Die erfolgreichen Erbschleicher Gillo und Pacuvius Hister : eine Konjektur zu Iuv. 9,134
Authors: Ullrich Heiko
Published: January 2025

The paradosis of Iuv. 9.134–134a offers the implausible repetition altera maior / spes superest – tu tantum erucis imprime dentem; / gratus eris – tu tantum erucis imprime dentem; hence many editors have deleted one verse or the other; others have proposed a lacuna after spes superest, filled by the doublette. The following note suggests a reconstruction of the verse by proposing a parallel to both 1.37–41 and 12.111–114 by reading uetulis ut Gillo Histerque beatis instead of the first tu tantum erucis imprime dentem: Since the context requires exempla for successful captatores Gillo and Pacuvius Hister (who are introduced in the first and twelfth satire respectively in this context) are the most likely candidates.
Koncept latentní regularity, jeho úvodní teze a uplatnění ve výpočetní analýze hudebního díla
Authors: Haas Petr
Published: January 2025

This paper presents the concept of "latent periodicity" and a method of computational, computer-assisted analysis of musical works based on the concept. The musical work is viewed here through two sets of relatively unrelated paradigms. The first is aesthetics, music theory and philosophy, supported by psychoanalysis as an aiding science. The second is the application of exact methods of computational analysis assisted by computer science. The article is divided into two parts. The first explains the basic theses of the concept and the second is an example of computational analysis performed on a piece for solo flute, Density 21.5 (Edgar Varèse, 1936).
Musical and educational activities of Franz Kučera in Eastern Ukraine from 1890–1911
Authors: Kachmarchyk Volodymyr , Ovchar Oleksandr
Published: January 2025

František Wojciechowicz Kučera is one of the most conspicuous representatives of the Czech music community in Kharkiv in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He played an important role in the professionalization of music education and the formation of chamber-instrumental and orchestral culture of Eastern Ukraine. As a teacher at Kharkiv Music College and a multi-instrumentalist, he confidently presented the bassoon at the city's concert venues. At the same time, his performances as a violist in the string quartet contributed to the intensification of musical and educational activities of the local branch of the then Russian Music Society. The most significant achievement of Franz Kučera in the development of Kharkiv's musical culture was the founding of a summer symphony orchestra in 1898, which for twelve years performed free public concerts for the townspeople. Until recently, the name of F. Kučera remained obscure, and only the perusal of old prints and Kharkiv periodicals of the late 19th to early 20th centuries made it possible to rediscover the lesser-known pages of this Czech artist's creative career within Ukraine.
"... přesto bych se nikdy nerozhodl pro libreto, které by mne přímo nerozpálilo." : spletitá cesta Pavla Haase k libretu Šarlatána
Authors: Pivoda Ondřej
Published: January 2025

Pavel Haas' only opera Šarlatán (The Charlatan), composed in 1934-1937, is the composer's most extensive work and in many ways the culmination of his interwar output. The creation of The Charlatan was preceded by a series of plans and unfinished opera attempts, but these mostly failed in negotiations with the authors of the subjects. These included Stanislav Lom's play Kající Venuše (Penitent Venus), Karel Čapek's Loupežník (The Robber) and Salomon Anski's Dybbuk. In 1932 Haas also negotiated about a libretto for an opera with the poet Vítězslav Nezval. Sometime around this time, probably during the summer months of 1933, Pavel Haas got his hands on a novel by the German writer Josef Winckler, Doctor Eisenbart, which he decided to adapt as an opera. The newly discovered correspondence of Pavel Haas from 1933–1934, addressed to Josef Winckler, helps to reveal the reasons that complicated the negotiations between the artists. Due to the political situation in Hitler's Germany, the negotiations did not reach a final agreement, so Pavel Haas, who himself had adapted the libretto from the novel, had to conceal the name of the author of the novel's subject during the premiere production in Brno in April 1938.

Partial or absolute authority : the head (djed) of the Bosnian Church as an arbiter in determining culpability between Bosnian rulers and nobles in the 14th and 15th centuries
Authors: Dedić Enes
Published: January 2025

In medieval Bosnia, the existence of a unified legal code that defined the legal principles, duties, and obligations of the parties involved in a particular dispute was not recorded. One of the most significant relationships in the history of medieval Bosnia was the relationship between the ruler and the nobility. The rights and obligations of the nobles in relation to the ruler in the medieval Bosnian state were defined through the institution of "faithful service" on one side and "noble faith" on the other. Simply put, as long as the nobles faithfully served the ruler, they were secure and their possessions were protected. This article focuses on instances of treason against the ruler and the judicial body responsible for investigating charges and delivering judgments according to established legal customs. The nobles mentioned in the Bosnian charters played a role in defining the relationship between the ruler and the respective noble, as did members of the hierarchy of the Bosnian Church. The Bosnian Church was a religious institution formed in the territory of Bosnia after the displacement of the Catholic diocese in the mid-13th century and was first mentioned in the 1320s. It was considered a heretical movement by the Roman Church, and its followers were excommunicated. It was accepted by the Bosnian ruling dynasty of Kotromanić and by the majority of noble families. From the perspective of neighboring states, the hierarchy of this church was considered to be the authority characterized by exceptional moral values. The aim of this article is to provide the research results regarding the role of the head (djed) of the Bosnian Church in determining the culpability of Bosnian nobles during the 14th and 15th centuries.
České poválečné deníky Yehudy Bacona
Authors: Sobotková Marie , Fiala Jiří
Published: January 2025

Yehuda Bacon, významný izraelský malíř a grafik, se narodil 28. července 1929 v Ostravě v židovsko-chasidské rodině. Během druhé světové války prošel několika koncentračními tábory, včetně Osvětimi a Gunskirchenu, kde přišel o většinu své rodiny. Po osvobození tábora našel útočiště v ozdravovně na zámku Štiřín v rámci Akce zámky, organizované Přemyslem Pittrem. V roce 1946 emigroval do Palestiny, kde vystudoval na Becalelově akademii umění a designu v Jeruzalémě, kde se později stal profesorem. Jeho deníkové záznamy, psané česky po návratu do Československa, byly přeloženy do angličtiny a vydávány pod názvem Yehuda Bacon: The Cold Shower of a New Life. Tyto deníky zachycují jeho poválečné trauma, filozofické úvahy o umění a náboženství i reflexi hrůz holokaustu. Přestože české vydání Baconových deníků mělo být zařazeno do edičního plánu Moravské zemské knihovny na rok 2021, nepodařilo se získat potřebná autorská práva od izraelského památníku Yad Vashem. Navzdory tomu jsme rádi, že úvod k edici může být publikován na stránkách časopisu Slavica Litteraria.
Kafkův veřejný, soukromý a jazykový impakt : Kafka a pubertální čtenářství
Authors: Pešková Michaela
Published: January 2025

Stať reflektuje několik témat, jež se týkají Kafkova odkazu a fenoménů, které se v zesílené míře objevují v jubilejním roce sta let od Kafkovy smrti. Autorka shrnuje působení hlavních kulturních aktérů organizujících dění kolem Kafky v tomto "kafkovském" roce. Popisuje Kafkův aktuální veřejný impakt ve smyslu prostorovém, zejména tedy vizuální. Věnuje se jeho impaktu soukromému, tedy vlivu, který, podle výpovědí různých umělců, prokázalo Kafkovo dílo na postoje, prožívání a konání jedinců. Dále sleduje Kafkův impakt v češtině, vykládá význam slov "kafkovský" a "kafkárna". V neposlední řadě analyzuje roli Franze Kafky v pubertálním čtenářství, a to v určitém diachronním srovnání. Všímá si také toho, jak se spisovatel stal integrální součástí české národní identity, ale zároveň i komerční značkou. Součástí stati je řada analytických grafů a reprintů autentických materiálů.

Wolność i życie społeczne
Authors: Wojciechowski Michał
Published: January 2025

Pojęcie wolności jest notorycznie trudne. W starożytnej Grecji oznaczało z początku bycie wolnym a nie niewolnikiem, potem wolne uczestnictwo w życiu politycznym wolnego demokratycznego miasta-państwa, potem wolność wewnętrzną. Zakłada to ludzką wolną wolę (liberum arbitrium). Wolność nie może być nadużywana dla usprawiedliwiania zła (stoicy i Nowy Testament). Wolność nie polega tylko na działaniu zgodnie z własną wolą (Arystoteles, Cyceron), lecz raczej na swobodzie dostępu do rozmaitych dóbr (Monteskiusz). Zasady moralne wyznaczają granice wolności. Jednakże hasła wolności i liberalizmu są często fałszywe. Zamiast swobód obywatelskich proponowana jest swoboda seksualna. Socjaliści nazywają siebie liberałami. Wolność jest ograniczana we współczesnych państwach biurokratycznych (wolność edukacji, wolność słowa, wolność dla religii w sferze publicznej, wolność gospodarcza, wpływ obywateli na politykę).
LE RAGIONI LOGICHE DEL PRINCIPIO DI SUSSIDIARIETÀ
Authors: Felice Flavio
Published: January 2025

L’articolo offre una prospettiva epistemologica del principio di sussidiarietà. L’autore analizza il contributo epistemologico di Friedrich von Hayek sulla dispersione della conoscenza, mostrando come tra i principali risultati ottenuti dalla moderna epistemologia delle scienze sociali riconosciamo la consapevolezza che la competizione delle idee, dei desideri, dei progetti produce un ordine rispetto alle incalcolabili circostanze della vita reale che, nella sua complessità, non sarebbe accessibile ad alcuna persona e ad alcuna istituzione. Ne consegue che la questione rilevante relativa alla decisione pubblica non risiede nella discussione se pianificare o meno, bensì se la pianificazione debba essere effettuata da un’autorità centrale oppure debba essere condivisa da una pluralità di individui e “enti concorrenti”. È questo il paradigma della sussidiarietà, che comporta la massima responsabilità personale e un crescente grado di impegno civile delle persone (status publicus), piuttosto che l’ampliamento dell’apparato statale (status rei publicae).

Nivel de dependencia de las transferencias de la Nación en el Occidente y el Oriente del departamento de Antioquia: vigencia 2023
Authors:   Contraloría General de Antioquia, Gutiérrez Valdés Asdrúbal
Published: January 2025

"Colombia, al igual que la mayoría de los países latinoamericanos, enfrentó una crisis social y económica a comienzos de la década de 1980. En muchos casos, esta crisis fue resultado de la centralización del poder, lo que generó demoras en la respuesta a las necesidades de la ciudadanía. En ocasiones, los problemas ni siquiera llegaban a ser atendidos, debido a la distancia entre los territorios y el centro de las decisiones políticas.
Una de las estrategias implementadas para abordar esta situación fue la descentralización política y económica. En el ámbito político, se promovió la elección popular de alcaldes y gobernadores, lo que buscaba acercar el poder de decisión a las comunidades locales. En el plano económico, se perfeccionaron los mecanismos para permitir que el gobierno central transfiriera recursos a las entidades territoriales, tanto para el funcionamiento administrativo como para la ejecución de programas sociales e infraestructura.
El Ministerio de Hacienda y el Departamento Nacional de Planeación (DNP) son las entidades encargadas de evaluar el impacto de las transferencias del gobierno nacional a las entidades territoriales. Este proceso es complejo, pues implica considerar una gran cantidad de variables tanto en términos de ingresos como de egresos. No obstante, a pesar de las dificultades inherentes, la descentralización en Colombia ha demostrado ser un modelo efectivo, no solo para acercar la inversión a las regiones, sino también para transferir la responsabilidad de la elección de los gobernantes a los ciudadanos, así como para fortalecer el control sobre los recursos públicos.
El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar el nivel de dependencia de las transferencias nacionales en dos subregiones del departamento de Antioquia: el Occidente, que agrupa a 19 municipios, y el Oriente, que incluye 21 municipios, de donde se excluyó el municipio de Rionegro del análisis, en primer lugar, por ser un municipio que no es sujeto de control de la CGA y en segundo lugar porque sus características presupuestales y poblacionales superan por mucho a los demás municipios.
Para este propósito, se examinan diversas variables, siendo las más relevantes: (i) la autonomía financiera, entendida como la proporción de los ingresos totales que provienen del recaudo efectivo de los ingresos tributarios, y (ii) la dependencia de las transferencias, que refleja la importancia relativa de las transferencias nacionales dentro de los ingresos totales. A través de estas dos variables, se realiza un análisis comparativo de ambas subregiones, clasificando los municipios según distintas categorías, con el fin de evaluar el grado de profundización de la descentralización.""."

La adopción del Modelo Integrado de Planeación y Gestión en las contralorías a nivel departamental, municipal y distrital en Colombia tiene como propósito consolidar la gestión pública mediante la unificación de políticas relacionadas con el desempeño institucional y los sistemas de control interno. El objetivo principal es identificar los desafíos y facilitadores que influyen en la adopción y efectividad del MIPG, evaluando su impacto en la transparencia y la eficiencia del control fiscal. La investigación se desarrolló bajo un enfoque metodológico mixto. Para la recolección de datos cuantitativos, se aplicó un cuestionario estructurado a los responsables de planeación en las contralorías, mientras que los aspectos cualitativos mediante grupos focales, permitiendo explorar percepciones y experiencias relacionadas con la implementación del modelo. La combinación de estas herramientas permitió obtener una visión amplia sobre la heterogeneidad en los niveles de adopción del MIPG en diferentes contextos regionales. Los resultados indican avances significativos en la adopción de políticas como talento humano, planeación institucional y transparencia, aunque persisten retos en áreas como seguridad digital, gestión del conocimiento e innovación. Se identificaron disparidades en la implementación de políticas debido a limitaciones estructurales y organizativas, lo que resalta la necesidad de estrategias específicas para mejorar su integración. El análisis de los datos sugiere que la consolidación del modelo requiere un mayor alineamiento entre las políticas institucionales y las necesidades locales, fortaleciendo la capacidad administrativa y promoviendo la participación ciudadana.

This article explores the consequences for music of its entry into the machine-age of sound, which involves, among other things, the de-instrumentalization of the ears and the possibility of an analytical listening ushering in the invention of digital tools that allow for a new graphic projection of musical time. Referring to important texts, notably by Bartók and Adorno, on the consequences of analogue sound reproduction for listening habits, musical analysis and even for the concept of writing, it looks at the ways the science of music in general has been and will be transformed by its digitalization, and notably, by a new epoch of musicality.
A bibliometric analysis of digital game-based learning in educational contexts
Authors: Wang Panlong , Yi Han
Published: January 2025

As an emerging topic, digital game-based learning holds great significance as it revolutionizes traditional modes of education by harnessing engagement and enhancing learning outcomes. We bibliometrically analyzed the current studies of digital game-based learning, aiming to explore the key topics and domains of the trend that may inspire further research and innovations.

Dentro de la responsabilidad parental, la tarea de los padres y madres de velar por el interés superior de hijos e hijas se sitúa como una prioridad en cuanto a la asistencia, apoyo y comprensión que deben prestar a niños, niñas y adolescentes (NNA) en su proceso de identidad de género. El objetivo principal radica en establecer propuestas para asegurar el interés superior de NNA en su proceso identitario. Dentro de la metodología aplicada se utilizan métodos teóricos y empíricos, así como, la entrevista como instrumento aplicado a una muestra dirigida de dos padres, donde uno de ellos es profesor de enseñanza primaria, y donde se evidenciaron estereotipos de género y desacuerdos con la educación inclusiva. En respuesta a ello se establecen propuestas basadas en el respeto a los derechos de los NNA en su proceso identitario, siendo relevante desarrollar un trabajo educativo que aperture horizontes a nuevos niveles de aceptación y normalización de identidades de género, con el objetivo de crear un ambiente inclusivo en los centros de enseñanza y lograr el respeto a los derechos de niños, niñas y adolescentes a explorar su identidad sin perjuicios.

This study investigates the principles and applications of generative and cognitive grammar, focusing on their influence on language acquisition, literacy development, and second language learning. Spanning from 2020 to 2024, Databases such as Google Scholar and Crossref were used for the initial search, utilizing tools like Zotero and Publish or Perish. Keywords such as "generative grammar," "cognitive grammar," "applications," and "principles" An initial 1,200 articles were identified across Crossref and Google Scholar were employed. After applying rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria, including the removal of duplicates and non-English articles, 35 articles were selected for in-depth analysis. Key findings highlight the positive impact of generative and cognitive grammar principles on engagement and outcomes in language learning, particularly for young and second language learners. Systematic and explicit instruction in these grammatical frameworks significantly improves syntactic and semantic skills. However, the review underscores the need for more empirical studies to establish standardized methodologies and assess long-term effects. The implications for practice, particularly in curriculum design and educational policy, are significant. Educators should integrate systematic instruction in generative and cognitive grammar into language learning programs, especially for young and second language learners. While grammatical skills are crucial for language development, instructional methods must be standardized to achieve lasting improvements. Additionally, the research indicates that early grammatical processing is a significant predictor of later language proficiency, emphasizing the need for early intervention and consistent instructional methods. Future research should continue exploring the most effective methods for teaching generative and cognitive grammar in diverse linguistic contexts, ensuring that all learners have the opportunity to develop strong language skills. This comprehensive understanding will aid in crafting educational policies and curricula that support robust language development across various learning environments.
