The phenomenon of polypredicativity in complex syntactic constructions of Chinese and Uzbek languages
Authors:   Teacher of KIUT Samarkand branch, Uzbekistan, Alisherovna Nematova Niginabonu
Published: February 2025

The phenomenon of predicativity has been interpreted in linguistics for many years. However, despite this, the opinions expressed in this area are not general. In most works on grammar, predication is understood as a participle, and therefore it is emphasized that this phenomenon takes place only within a sentence. In recent decades, scientists have been paying increasing attention to polypredicative sentences. The term "polypredicative sentence" has become established both in theoretical works and in teaching practice. A polypredicative construction consists of predicative units that have the formal and semantic organization of a simple sentence, but do not have the main property of a communicative unit - semantic completeness. A complex sentence as a whole has this property, which brings it closer to a simple sentence that functions as a separate utterance. In written speech, a complex sentence, like a simple one, is separated from neighboring sentences by a period or a question or exclamation mark, which signal that it constitutes a separate communicative unit. In oral speech, the communicative completeness of a complex sentence is conveyed by intonation [Beloshapkova, 1991, 811-812]. A polypredicative sentence is a complex sentence that consists of several parts that are similar in form to simple sentences, but form a single whole in meaning, construction and intonation. The structure of a polypredicative sentence is varied. The parts of a polypredicative sentence are connected on the basis of union connections of subordination and composition, therefore polypredicative sentences are divided into complex and compound.

Sociolinguistics comparison of language acquisition between healthy and feral children
Authors:   High-school Teacher at Iftixor Private School, Uzbekistan, Raufovna Zulfiya Nig’monova
Published: February 2025

It is a common fact that sociolinguistics is one of the most interesting branches of linguistics which takes a language as an aspect of a society or even a tool which expresses and showcases the societies’ beliefs, traditions, lifestyle and values. The process of language acquisition is a complex issue which requires several years or even dozens of years of deep research and variety of social experiments. Many linguists take a detailed look at facts and at researches that are done in previous generations and make an attempt to compare and find out what has changed and are there any alterations in habits, language and beliefs of societies. The tool, undoubtedly, is a language that people utilize and change. And this change can be clearly seen between young children who are still in process of language acquisition. This article will explore the comparison of healthy children’s language capabilities and capabilities of feral children who were isolated from the society thus their language learning process changed irretrievably.

Published: February 2025

The significance of images in education has evolved significantly over the centuries, with illustrated books playing a central role in enhancing learning and comprehension. Since the 16th century, the use of images in education has been intrinsically linked to their ability to facilitate understanding and enrich the learning experience. Images, combined with text, function not merely as decorative elements but as a multidimensional learning mechanism that enhances language, thinking, and the emotional development of students. The historical evolution of illustrated books, from their early forms during the Enlightenment to the modern digital era, highlights the enduring and growing importance of images in the educational process. Digital tools, interactive visuals, and contemporary educational applications have elevated images into even more powerful learning tools, enabling students to interact actively with content, fostering their creativity, critical thinking, and deeper understanding. This study focuses on a diachronic analysis of the role of images in education, tracing their use from the 16th century to the digital age. Historical examples and modern tools, such as digital books and interactive learning platforms, are examined to understand the evolution and ongoing importance of images in the educational process. Through a comparative approach to these examples, the study underscores the progression and current significance of images in education while exploring how they enhance learning and adapt to the needs of modern educational systems.

EDUCATIONAL TOOLS AND POLICIES: FROM COLONIALISM TO THE PRESENT
Authors: KARAOULAS APOSTOLOS
Published: February 2025

Understanding the colonial educational structure is fundamental to analyzing contemporary Western societies, as the consequences of these policies continue to shape educational and social structures both in former colonies and in former colonial metropolises. Although colonialism belongs to the distant past, the educational frameworks established during that era still perpetuate social inequalities and limit opportunities for social mobility. A review of modern educational policies in former colonies reveals how education remains oriented toward serving the interests of Western economies and sustaining social reproduction, thereby maintaining structural dependence and social stratification. At the same time, recognizing cultural identity through education, by incorporating local languages and cultural elements, constitutes a key objective in these countries. However, the dominance of international languages and the ongoing reliance on Western educational practices continue to pose challenges. This article employs a methodology that combines historical and comparative analysis of educational policies in the colonial and postcolonial periods. The methodology involves assessing the impact of colonial educational structures on contemporary societies, with a particular focus on the persistence of social inequality and structural dependencies, as well as examining efforts to redefine cultural identity through education. A comparative analysis of educational systems in former colonies provides concrete examples of colonialism’s enduring influences. Furthermore, references to migration and multiculturalism, particularly in former colonial metropolises, enhance the understanding of new challenges faced by societies in the era of globalization. Finally, the article highlights the necessity of educational policies that address social inequalities and promote equity, emphasizing the empowerment of local communities and the development of educational systems that foster social justice.

FAMILIAL ADENOMATOUS POLYPOSIS LEADING TO ADENOCARCINOMA: A CASE ANALYSIS
Authors: Adi Arianto  , Meira Dewi Kusuma Astuti  , Devia Eka Listiana  , Kasno
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT
Background : Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the development of hundreds to thousands of adenomatous polyps in the colon and rectum. Its incidence is estimated between 1 in 7,000 and 1 in 30,000 live births, accounting for less than 1% of all new cases of colorectal cancer. If left undiagnosed and untreated, nearly 100% of FAP cases progress to colorectal cancer, often by the age of 40-50.
Case Description : A 55-year-old male presented with complaints of abdominal pain and a palpable mass in the abdominal region. Diagnostic colonoscopy revealed numerous sessile polyps, exceeding 100 in count, located primarily in the ascending colon. A total colectomy was performed. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed: Macroscopic Findings: A white, endophytic mass in the ascending colon and over 100 sessile polyps. Microscopic Findings: Tubular adenomas with moderate dysplasia and a focus of well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. Seventeen mesenteric lymph nodes were examined and found free of metastatic involvement.
Discussion : FAP is primarily caused by mutations in the APC gene, located on chromosome 5q22, which is essential for regulating cell growth and apoptosis. Loss of function in this gene leads to uncontrolled proliferation of epithelial cells in the colon, resulting in the formation of numerous polyps. Without intervention, this predisposes individuals to colorectal carcinoma. In this patient, the clinical, macroscopic, and microscopic findings strongly suggest that the adenocarcinoma developed secondary to FAP. However, a definitive diagnosis requires genetic confirmation of an APC gene mutation. Screening of family members is critical to identify asymptomatic carriers who may benefit from prophylactic interventions.
Conclusion : The diagnosis of well-differentiated adenocarcinoma in the ascending colon in this patient is highly suggestive of progression from FAP. While clinical, macroscopic, and histological evidence supports this conclusion, genetic analysis of the APC gene mutation is essential for confirmation. Early detection and management of FAP, including regular surveillance and prophylactic colectomy, are paramount in preventing the development of colorectal carcinoma.
Keywords: Familial Adenomatous Polyposis, Adenocarcinoma, APC Gene Mutation, Colorectal Cancer.

Authors: Torres Lara Fernanda Lizzbeth , Loor Saldarriaga Angel Oswaldo , Flores Tunja Jonnathan Raúl , Meneses Segura Vanessa Lizeth , Rivera Peñafiel Marcela Jacqueline
Published: February 2025

Ecuador ha implementado diversas políticas comerciales y ha firmado acuerdos de libre comercio (TLC) que han tenido un impacto significativo en su economía. Este estudio se enfoca en cómo estos convenios han influido en el desarrollo y la balanza comercial, especialmente en las micro, pequeñas y medianas empresas (MiPymes), que representan aproximadamente el 7,6% del total de empresas en el país y emplean alrededor del 35% de la fuerza laboral (Corporación Financiera Nacional, 2023).  El análisis examina los efectos de los Tratados de Libre Comercio en la competitividad de las MiPymes, considerando tanto las oportunidades de acceso a nuevos mercados como los desafíos que enfrentan. También se evalúa el aumento en las exigencias de calidad y productividad en el contexto global. Sectores como la agricultura, la manufactura, el textil y los servicios han logrado avances, a pesar de la intensa competencia internacional.  Además, se revisan las políticas de apoyo del gobierno, como los estímulos fiscales, la capacitación y el acceso a financiamiento, con el fin de fortalecer a las MiPymes. Sin embargo, la efectividad de estas políticas sigue siendo objeto de debate, ya que muchas empresas aún luchan por adaptarse a un comercio mundial en constante cambio. En conclusión, la investigación sugiere que, aunque los Tratados de Libre Comercio han abierto oportunidades para el crecimiento y la inversión, Ecuador necesita estrategias específicas para que las MiPymes superen los obstáculos y aprovechen los beneficios de la liberalización comercial (Gómez & Paredes, 2022).

Published: February 2025

Agriculture plays a crucial role in fulfilling global food needs and promoting societal well-being. Soybean cultivation, as a strategic food crop, offers essential protein sources for humans and livestock while enhancing soil fertility through nitrogen fixation. However, the increasing global demand for soybeans poses challenges for farmers, particularly in terms of cultivation efficiency. These challenges are further exacerbated by climate change, land use, disease threats, and commodity price fluctuations. The advancement of agricultural technology, such as IoT, remote sensing, artificial intelligence, and predictive modeling, holds significant promise in improving soybean cultivation's efficiency and productivity. Precision agriculture emerges as a pivotal approach to support agricultural efficiency, productivity, and profitability. Expert systems and image processing techniques like artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms play a vital role in implementing precision agriculture. Information technology's use in precision agriculture focuses on data collection, analysis, and application in farming. Despite considerable research proposing technology integration in soybean cultivation, comprehensive studies on its potential integration remain limited. Thus, this international research aims to analyze the prospects of integrating agricultural technology into plant monitoring systems.

Analysis of the Criminal Law Implications on the Sale of Marital Property Prior to the Agreement on Joint Property Division in Indonesia
Authors: Aswadi  , Muhamad Adystia Sunggara
Published: February 2025

The application of law regarding the embezzlement of marital property after divorce in Indonesia faces significant challenges. Marital property, regulated under the Civil Code and Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, often becomes a subject of dispute when one party sells it without the consent of the other. This event is not always categorized as a criminal act of embezzlement, leading to legal uncertainty and harming the affected party, particularly women. This study adopts a juridical-normative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through literature review and documentation of legislation, legal doctrines, and court decisions. The findings reveal that the application of criminal law to embezzlement of marital property still has significant shortcomings. Although Articles 35 and 36 of Law No. 1 of 1974 regulate joint consent in the use of marital property, criminal sanctions are not consistently enforced. Regulations in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) emphasize the importance of proving the status of the property and the obligations of spouses in division. Legal uncertainty in the application of criminal sanctions for cases of embezzlement of marital property indicates the need for reform. Strengthening the definition of criminal acts and applying a clearer principle of justice are necessary to ensure fair protection of all parties' rights.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of monitoring the management of School Operational Assistance (Bantuan Operasional Sekolah/BOS Funds in Indonesian) funds in Singkawang City. The main focus of this research is to measure the success of supervision based on three indicators proposed by Arifin Abdul Rachman: increasing discipline and achieving task implementation targets, reducing abuse of authority, and minimizing errors in task implementation. This study employs a qualitative approach with a case study method, involving in-depth interviews with various informants, including school principals, treasurers, auditors, and the community. The findings reveal that the monitoring of BOS fund management in Singkawang City has been relatively effective, with several significant insights. The first indicator indicates that most schools have prepared their School Activity and Budget Plan in compliance with regulations, although challenges remain in budget implementation and reporting delays. For the second indicator, no significant abuse of authority was identified, but there are still weaknesses in technical understanding, particularly regarding taxation. The third indicator highlights that administrative errors, such as asset recording and tax reporting, remain key challenges. Initiatives like the BOS Fund Clinic organized by the Inspectorate are seen as positive steps to address these issues. This study recommends enhancing technical training for school principals and treasurers, strengthening monitoring capacity through system digitization, and increasing community participation in supervision to foster better transparency and accountability. These measures are expected to optimize the management of BOS funds in supporting improvements in education quality.

Objective

Depressive symptoms are common in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and reduce energy, motivation, and movement; thus, declines in physical activity (PA) could worsen as clinical disease progresses. The objective was to evaluate the longitudinal relationship between depressive symptoms and self-reported PA over time among persons with KOA.

Methods

The sample included Osteoarthritis Initiative participants (N = 2602) with radiographic disease (Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥ 2). Depressive symptoms were measured using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D; score ≥ 16) at baseline and first 3 follow-up visits. Self-reported PA was assessed with the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) at the first 4 follow-up visits. Marginal structural models controlling for time-invariant and time-varying confounders evaluated the longitudinal relationship between depressive symptoms and PASEzscores.

Results

Depressive symptoms were associated with lower PA (β –0.09; 95% CI –0.20 to 0.01) over time, but the relationship was not statistically significant. When including depressive symptoms-by-time interactions, the relationship was nonlinear from the first to fourth follow-up visit: visit 1 = –0.18 (95% CI –0.33 to –0.02), visit 2 = –0.05 (95% CI –0.22 to 0.11), visit 3 = –0.01 (95% CI –0.19 to 0.16), and visit 4 = –0.11 (95% CI –0.29 to 0.08). However, the interaction terms were not statistically significant.

Conclusion

Depressive symptoms may contribute to worse self-reported PA levels in persons with KOA. Future research should determine whether lower physical function is a further sequela of decreased PA related to depressive symptoms.

Acoustic Analysis of Tones in Contemporary Standard Slovene
Authors: Jurgec Peter
Published: February 2025

The author presents preliminary findings of a larger acoustic study into prosodic structure of Slovene. This investigation in acoustic properties of tones in Slovene addresses vowel duration, intensity and fundamental frequency. Although no statistical differences between both lexical tones (or pitch-accents) were found in the first and second variable, the third was found highly significant. The results differ greatly from what was previously established. Disyllables differ in F0 of the individual vowels. In trisyllables with antepenultimate stress, the F0 difference is the highest in the final syllable.
Natural Syntax: Three-value Naturalness Scales
Authors: Cvetko Orešnik Varja , Orešnik Janez
Published: February 2025

Natural Syntax is a developing deductive theory, a branch of Naturalness Theory. The naturalness judgements are couched in naturalness scales, which follow from the basic parameters (or “axioms”) listed at the beginning of the paper. The predictions of the theory are calculated in the deductions, whose chief components are a pair of naturalness scales and the rules governing the alignment of corresponding naturalness values. Parallel and chiastic alignments are distinguished, in complementary distribution. Chiastic alignment is mandatory in deductions limited to unnatural environments. Naturalness scales are prevailingly two-value; for instance, >nat (+, –) / human. Some are threevalue – for instance (for Slovenian), >nat (singular, plural, dual) – or even more complicated. This paper deals with three-value scales and features the following chief finding: the restriction of the environment of any deduction to the rightmost value or to the two rightmost values of a threevalue naturalness scale requires chiastic alignment. This is exemplified with Slovenian, Russian and English material.

Valency Primitives as Dictionary Realisations
Authors: Žele Andreja
Published: February 2025

The paper addresses the issue of how to identify certain kinds of semantic-expressional primitives in Slovene. These are units of language with which we can explain semantically and expressionally all or most of the vocabulary of the language. The discussion deals with semantemes as semantic primitives or irreducible units and in so doing is restricted to the possibility of expressing or providing a dictionary realisation of valency semantemes using valency primitives.
