Climate change induced the altering in precipitation characteristics across the rice cultivation paddies of Vietnam
Authors: DANG Truong An
Published: June 2024

Globally, it has enough convincing evidence to assert that climate variability is the main factor causing the change in precipitation characteristics (CPCs). Appraising the CPCs are, therefore, crucial for local agricultural activities. The aim of this study is to investigate the CPCs across the rice cultivation paddies (RCPs) of the Long Xuyen Quadrangle (LXQ) in Vietnam as a typical case of the impacts of climate change (ICC) on the agricultural sector.
To achieve the intended objective, firstly daily precipitation data series at 9 observation stations across the LXQ throughout 1978-2021 were appraised for quality by applying the homogeneity tests. Secondly, appraised precipitation data were investigated the CPCs applying a set of non-parametric approaches, and finally, the spatial distribution maps of the CPCs across the study area were shown off based on the Thiessen polygon algorithm integrated into the ArcGIS (Version 10.8) software.
With a 95% confidence level, the findings revealed that a statistically insignificant downward trend for annual precipitation and wet seasonal precipitation was recorded along the coastal arable land edges while the statistically insignificant upward trend was detected along the RCPs in the northeast to southeast part. One striking feature the study results revealed is that a statistically insignificant uptrend (ZMK = 0.043 ~ 0.126) was observed for precipitation in the dry season. The findings could contribute positively to agricultural activities during the summer-autumn crop season.

Authors: Karcı Harun , Kafkas Salih
Published: June 2024

Antepfıstığı (Pistacia vera L.), Anacardiceae familyasının bir üyesi olup Pistacia cinsinin tek kültürel formudur. P. vera dioik bitki türlerinden biridir ve Pistacia cinsi içeridinde az sayıda da olsa hermafrodit ve monoik çiçek yapısına sahip genotipler bulunmuştur. Antepfıstığının ıslahı, dioik çiçek yapısı, gençlik döneminin oldukça uzun olması ve periyodisite göstermesi gibi birçok sınırlayıcı faktörden dolayı oldukça uzun sürmektedir. Yakın zamanda kromozom düzeyinde antepfıstığı genomları yayınlanmış ve genom büyüklüğü yaklaşık 600 Mb olarak bildirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Siirt çeşidine ait Yeni Nesil Dizileme (NGS) verileri kullanılarak varyant belirleme aşamasında duplike okumaları belirlemenin etkisini tespit etmek amacıyla birçok biyoinformatik analiz yapılmıştır. Kısa InDel’ler ve SNP’lerin tespiti için yaklaşık 5.2 Gb veri kullanılmıştır. Yüzde 99.83 haritalama oranı belirlenmiş ve yaklaşık 35 milyon okuma referans genoma başarıyla haritalanmıştır. Haritalama kalitesi ve okuma derinliği filtrelemeleri sırasıyla MQ>30 ve DP>2 olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tüm okumaların yüzde 7.18’i duplike okumaları (2.50 milyon) oluşturmuştur. MarkDuplicates (MD) işlemi uygulanmayan BAM dosyası kullanılarak yapılan varyant belirleme analizinde toplam 1,022,161 SNP ve 124,762 InDel, MD işlemi gerçekleştirilen BAM dosyası kullanılarak yapılan varyant belirleme analizi sonrasında ise toplam 1,050,788 SNP ve 128,109 InDels tespit edilmiştir. Her iki VCF dosyası genom pozisyonlarına göre karşılaştırılmıştır. Aynı pozisyonlardaki aynı ve farklı (referans aleli aynı ancak farklı alternatif aleller) varyantlar saydırılmış ve ayrı ayrı kaydedilmiştir. Ayrıca MD işlemi yapılmayan BAM dosyasının varyant belirleme işlemlerinde, toplam 42,413 adet gerçek negatif lokus (TNL) kaybına ve toplam 10,439 adet yanlış pozitif lokus (FPL) elde edilmesine neden olmuştur. Sonuç olarak, MD tüm organizmalar için varyant belirleme analizlerinin önemli bir aşaması olmakla birlikte yanlış pozitif lokusların ortadan kaldırılması için de gerçekleştirilmelidir. Elde edilen bu sonuçların, gelecekte yapılacak ıslah programlarında varyant tespitinde faydalı olabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Published: June 2024

We investigate vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor for a massive Dirac field in flat spacetime with a toroidal subspace of a general dimension. Quasiperiodicity conditions with arbitrary phases are imposed on the field operator along compact dimensions. These phases are interpreted in terms of magnetic fluxes enclosed by compact dimensions. The equation of state in the uncompact subspace is of the cosmological constant type. It is shown that, in addition to the diagonal components, the vacuum energy-momentum tensor has nonzero off-diagonal components. In special cases of twisted (antiperiodic) and untwisted (periodic) fields the off diagonal components vanish. For untwisted fields the vacuum energy density is positive and the energy-momentum tensor obeys the strong energy condition. For general values of the phases in the periodicity conditions the energy density and stresses can be either positive or negative. The numerical results are given for a Kaluza-Klein type model with two extra dimensions.
The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the socio-economic development of municipalities with different nature protection regimes in the Czech Republic
Authors: Bílá Karolína , Křenová Zdeňka
Published: June 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly affected human societies worldwide. This study focused on the socio-economic development of the western border region of the Czech Republic, specifically comparing municipalities within protected areas (Šumava National Park, established in 1991, and Bohemian Forest Protected Landscape Area, established in 2005) and those outside protected areas. A total of 39 municipalities of similar size and history were included, and 17 socio-economic indicators covering demography, landscape use, and municipality income were studied. Data recorded in 1991, 2001, 2011, and 2021 were used to describe the development of the study regions over the last 30 years, compare the situation shortly after the establishment of protected areas with the last decade, and identify changes in the economy following the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019–2021. ANOVA was performed to determine the association between the size and location of a municipality (outside or inside a protected area) and the socio-economic indicators. The results showed significant changes in demography, landscape use, and the economy during the studied period of 1991–2021. A few insignificant but noticeable trends were detected in population aging and the number of educated residents with a university degree. The most significant changes over time were found in municipalities located in the national park. However, contrary to expectations, there were no substantial population movements to the municipalities in protected areas during the COVID-19 pandemic. The demographic and economic changes followed a very similar trend during the studied years and were more dependent on municipality size than on other factors. This result is likely influenced by globally limited business and tourist activities in 2019–2021.

Published: June 2024

This paper evaluates the Smart Tourism Destination indicators and Standards for Sustainable and Smart Cities applied in Tourist Resorts in São Paulo State, Brazil, through the “DTI-BR Model”. This model selects the most suitable indicators for the Brazilian context, drawing on sources like SEGITTUR (the Spanish State-owned Company for the Management of Innovation and Tourism Technologies) and the Brazilian Technical Standards for Smart Cities. The study emphasizes the importance of using indicators to assess and standardize the evaluation of municipal tourism departments, highlighting their role in optimizing tourist resources, and underscores the necessity for tourist destinations to comprehend and integrate these indicators fully to improve service quality, environmental management, and the overall tourist experience. The process of standardizing these indicators not only allows for effective comparisons across various destinations but also aids in identifying and adopting best practices. This approach is poised to make significant contributions towards the sustainable development of tourism by promoting the conservation of both natural and cultural resources, alongside stimulating local economic growth. By understanding and implementing these indicators, tourist destinations can enhance the quality of their services, environmental management, and tourist experience. Moreover, standardizing indicators facilitates comparison across different destinations and the identification of best practices. This can significantly contribute to the sustainable development of tourism, promoting the conservation of natural and cultural resources, as well as boosting the local economy. Therefore, the adoption of Smart Tourism Destination indicators and standards for sustainable and smart cities is crucial for fostering responsible and high-quality tourism.

Authors: Oringo James Odhiambo , Deya Jared , Matti Osieko
Published: June 2024

The basic principle of doing business is that regulations should be relatively easy to comply with and accessible to all who need to use them, so that anyone with talent and good ideas can start and grow a business in the formal sector. In this context, in order to improve access to government services, decentralize government service points, increase awareness of the range of government services and also to attract foreign direct investment in Kenya, the Government of Kenya has adopted a one-stop shop regulatory regime. As regards FDI, the Government considered that by providing investors with a clear and convenient source of information to enable them to compete more effectively on the market, this model could improve transparency and openness. However, studies have shown that foreign direct investment firms continue to withdraw from the Kenya market on grounds of good reasons. For this reason, the study sought to establish the relationship between the one-stop shop regulatory regime and the competitiveness of FID firms in Kenya. The unit of analysis was the management staff of 66 manufacturing FDI firms which were members of Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) in the Nairobi Metropolitan while the unit of observation comprised; human resource manager 1, finance manager 1, marketing manager 1, production manager 1 and CEO/GM/owner 1. Primary data were collected by means of a semi structured questionnaire, while secondary data included the analysis of statistical abstracts from published materials and reports. Data analysis was carried out using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) software version 25 as well as descriptive and inferential statistics. The results have shown that the competitiveness of foreign direct investment manufacturing firms in Kenya has been significantly influenced by the one-stop shop regulatory regime. Energy costs were found to have a moderating effect on the influence of innovation strategies on competitiveness of FDI manufacturing firms in Kenya. In particular, the data showed that the competitiveness of foreign direct investment manufacturing firms and their decision to stay or leave the business is influenced by the cost of electricity and petroleum.

Published: June 2024

Xerostomia emerges as a consequence of salivary gland hypofunction, and seriously compromises the integrity of hard and soft oral tissues, while periodontitis is an infectious disease characterized by biofilm accumulation, inflammation and alveolar bone resorption. Aim: The aim this study was to compare the deleterious effects caused by experimental hyposalivation, periodontitis, and the combination of both on periodontal tissues and mandibular biomechanics in rats. Materials and Method: Hyposalivation (group H) was induced through bilateral submandibulectomy. Periodontitis (group EP) was induced by injecting LPS (1 mg/ml) into the gingiva of the first lower molars. A third group was subjected to both conditions (group H+EP). Alveolar bone loss was evaluated by micro-computed tomography and histomorphometric analysis, and gingival inflammatory mediators were assessed by specific techniques. Biomechanical properties were evaluated in mandible. Results: Alveolar bone loss increased similarly in groups H, EP and H+EP compared to control. Metalloproteinase (MMP2 and MMP9) activity was similar in H and control, but higher in groups EP and H+EP (MMP2: C 9644±2214, EP 34441±3336, H 5818±1532, H+EP 42673±3184; MMP9: C 5792±961, EP 14807±861, H 9295±520, H+EP 4838±1531). The rest of the inflammatory mediators evaluated increased in groups H, EP and H+EP to a greater or lesser extent with respect to the control, although in most cases, they were higher in groups EP and H+EP than in group H. The biomechanical properties of the mandible increased in group H compared to the other three groups. Conclusions: Both hyposalivation and periodontitis cause periodontal damage, but hyposalivation also produces biomechanical alterations, causing more extensive deleterious effects than periodontitis.

Published: June 2024

In recent years, there has been an explosion in the number of new malware created by hackers worldwide. The large number of malware families causes certain difficulties for traditional malware detection methods. One of the recent research directions of interest is the application of artificial intelligence to solve problems. In this paper, we proposed a new method of representing malicious code as an image by arranging highly correlated bytes in close pixels on the image. Deep learning models are trained on self-built datasets and compare the performance of different image representation methods. Experimental results show that the proposed "serpentine" pixel arrangement method provides better results than other methods.

A Educação Especial Inclusiva emerge como um tema de extraordinária relevância no panorama educacional contemporâneo. Este paradigma educacional reconhece a diversidade como um elemento central e defende o direito de todos os alunos, independentemente de suas capacidades e características individuais, a uma educação de qualidade e acessível. Um estudo recente buscou compreender de que maneira as metodologias ativas podem potencializar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem dos alunos com deficiências na educação básica. Essa investigação não apenas destaca a importância da inclusão e da individualização do ensino como premissas fundamentais da Educação Especial Inclusiva, mas também explora como as metodologias ativas podem se tornar ferramentas valiosas nesse contexto. Primeiramente, vale ressaltar que a inclusão vai muito além de garantir a presença física dos alunos com deficiência nas salas de aula regulares. Ela implica na criação de ambientes que acolham e valorizem as diferenças, promovendo o respeito mútuo e a participação de todos os estudantes. Nesse sentido, a individualização do ensino se torna essencial, pois reconhece que cada aluno possui necessidades específicas e que o processo de aprendizagem deve ser adaptado para atendê-las de maneira adequada. É nesse contexto que as metodologias ativas se destacam como uma abordagem pedagógica eficaz. Em contraste com o modelo tradicional de ensino, centrado no professor e na transmissão de conhecimento de maneira passiva, as metodologias ativas colocam o aluno no centro do processo de aprendizagem, promovendo a participação ativa, a colaboração e a construção coletiva do conhecimento.
ANÁLISE DOS VERBOS AUXILIARES E O PROCESSO DE GRAMATICALIZAÇÃO: UMA ABORDAGEM DIDÁTICA E TEÓRICA
Authors: Silva Dafny Coutinho do Espirito Santo
Published: June 2024

O presente artigo explora a abordagem tradicional do ensino das classes de palavras, com um foco particular nos verbos auxiliares e nos processos de gramaticalização, conforme discutido por Pinilla (2016). A autora aponta que, embora amplamente estudadas, as definições das classes gramaticais nas escolas muitas vezes se restringem a uma simples nomenclatura. Utilizando uma metodologia qualitativa, o estudo analisou um livro didático de Marcel Caldeira da Silva (2017) e um artigo científico sobre gramaticalização de Pires et al (2021). Os resultados indicam que a análise tradicional dos verbos no material didático é limitada e não aborda adequadamente a gramaticalização. Em contraste, o artigo de Pires et al (2021) revela como os verbos ir, chegar e dar estão se transformando em verbos auxiliares, perdendo gradualmente suas características léxicas e assumindo funções gramaticais mais abstratas. Conclui-se que há uma necessidade urgente de integrar o estudo da gramaticalização no ensino da Língua Portuguesa para refletir a verdadeira natureza dinâmica da língua. A Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC, 2018) apoia essa abordagem, enfatizando a importância de uma análise linguística reflexiva. Assim, recomenda-se que educadores adotem uma perspectiva mais abrangente e prática, que vá além da gramática normativa e considere os processos de gramaticalização, para proporcionar uma compreensão mais profunda e aplicável da língua aos estudantes.

Vapour-liquid phase behaviour of primitive models of ionic liquids confined in disordered porous media
Authors: Hvozd T. , Patsahan T. , Kalyuzhnyi Yu. , Patsahan O. , Holovko M.
Published: June 2024

We  develop a theory for the description  of  ionic liquids (ILs) confined in a porous medium formed by a matrix of immobile randomly placed uncharged  particles. The IL is modelled as an electroneutral  mixture of hard-sphere anions and flexible linear chain cations, represented by tangentially bonded hard spheres with the charge located on one of the terminal beads. The theory combines  a  generalization of the scaled particle theory, Wertheim's thermodynamic perturbation theory, and the associative mean-spherical approximation  and allows one to obtain analytical expressions for the pressure and chemical potentials of the  matrix-IL system. Using the theory, we calculate the vapour–liquid phase diagrams for two versions of the IL model, i.e., when the cation is modelled as a dimer and as a chain, in a complete association limit. The effects of the matrix confinement  and of the  non-spherical shape of the cations on the vapour-liquid phase diagrams are studied.
Spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg distorted diamond chain with antiferromagnetic Ising and ferromagnetic Heisenberg interactions
Authors: Lisnyi B. M.
Published: June 2024

The exactly solvable spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg distorted diamond chain in the presence of the external magnetic field is investigated for the case of antiferromagnetic Ising and ferromagnetic XXZ Heisenberg interactions. The influence of quantum fluctuations and the distortion on the ground state, magnetic and thermal properties of the model are studied in detail.In particular, it is  established that the zero-temperature magnetization curve may involve intermediate plateaus just at zero and 1/3 of the saturation magnetization. It is demonstrated that the temperature dependence of the specific heat reveals up to four distinct peaks at zero magnetic field and up to five distinct peaks at a weak magnetic field. The physical origin of all observed additional peaks of the specific heat has been clarified on the grounds of dominating thermal excitations. We have shown that the quantum fluctuations give rise to an effective geometrical frustration in this chain.

MULHERES GESTANTES E O USO DE SUBSTÂNCIAS PSICOATIVAS ILÍCITAS
Authors: Nascimento Kelly Regina Nunes , Giugliani Camila
Published: June 2024

Introdução: Por mais que tenha havido avanços em direção ao pensamento crítico sobre os papéis nas relações de gênero na sociedade, ainda é recorrente a carga de expectativas e julgamentos sobre as mulheres. Em se tratando de mulheres gestantes que fazem uso de substâncias psicoativas ilícitas, o tratamento dispensado a elas carrega um duplo julgamento – por serem mulheres e por serem gestantes usuárias de drogas. Objetivo: Analisar a produção científica sobre mulheres gestantes e o uso de substâncias psicoativas ilícitas (maconha, cocaína e crack) na realidade brasileira. Metodologia: Revisão de literatura do tipo integrativa. A busca foi realizada na plataforma da Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS), na base de dados da Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), com descritores controlados, de novembro de 2022 a julho de 2023. Foi utilizada a estratégia PICo: P (população): gestantes; I (interesse): uso de substâncias psicoativas ilícitas; Co (contexto): no cenário de cuidado em saúde. Foram selecionados artigos que pudessem responder ao objetivo do estudo, conforme critérios de inclusão/exclusão e realizada a análise de conteúdo com base em Bardin. Resultados: O conteúdo das produções na área da saúde aborda preponderantemente  a prevalência do uso de substâncias psicoativas por parte das mulheres gestantes e os efeitos orgânicos deste uso para o feto/bebê. As consequências psicossociais e legais que o uso de substâncias psicoativas por mulheres gestantes pode trazer, como perda da guarda dos filhos, foram pouco exploradas no conjunto dos estudos. Conclusão: De modo a qualificar o cuidado em saúde às mulheres gestantes usuárias de substâncias psicoativas, é preciso enfrentar desafios, como o julgamento moral por parte dos profissionais, em especial da área da saúde. Deve-se também aproveitar as potencialidades, como a  motivação das mulheres para cessar o uso durante a gestação.

The current paper provides a cutting-edge information data length-theoretic approach to the transient  queueing system. This is the first investigation that unifies information data length and queueing theories. Notably, an exposition of a significant real-life application of the  queueing system was addressed, namely the computation of the common average time for unsaturated site visitor flows beneath double-parking situations. This adds another dimension of the significance of the current work. On another note, the significant impact of both time and the number of states for the transient  queue on both the upper and lower bounds of the obtained information data length is observed and noted. The undertaken analytical technique in this paper is based on calculating the information data length for the  transient queue rather than going into higher complexities to go through a non-standard integral to be accomplished. It was a necessity to find both the upper and lower bounds of such a desired-to-be-calculated integration. The data collection process to carry out the numerical validation of the key analytic findings was conducted by choosing values for the parameters of the  transient queue to reveal both obtained upper and lower bounds numerically. The paper concludes with some challenging open problems, combined with concluding remarks and future research pathways.

This study investigates the effect of curcumin on bisphenol A induced cytotoxicity in the liver of adult Wister rats. Twenty adult Wistar rats (weight = 190±10g) were placed into four groups (N=4). Group 1 (control) received vital feed, water and sunflower oil only throughout the research, group 2 (BPA) received vital feed, water and 65mg/kg of bisphenol A, group 3 (BPA and Curcumin) received vital feed, water and 65ml/kg of bisphenol A and 100mg/kg of Curcumin, and group 4 (Curcumin) received vital feed, water and 100mg/kg of curcumin for a total 28 days. Rats exposed to BPA for 28 days demonstrated liver damages as evidence by increased concentration of Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in blood, increase in Malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration and decrease in Glutathione (GSH) level. In regards to histological analysis, curcumin had positive effects on the liver except for group 2 (BPA) which showed degenerative changes due to the administration of bisphenol A only. This study reveals that curcumin has ameliorative and cytoprotective effect on bisphenol A cytotoxocity on the liver.

Indonesia is a multi-ethnic country with a diversity of tribes and cultures that are still preserved and implemented, one of which is the Chinese ethnic culture. There have been cross-country and different religious marriages that were not previously registered in the Civil Registry and then registered, but there are still many misconducts due to ignorance and lack of socialization by the more intensive government, which has resulted in children born to become illegitimate children. The actual circumstances make it difficult for a portion of the ethnic Chinese majority to obtain the legality of their birth certificates, which will affect their future lives. This research method uses empirical jurisprudence with a qualitative approach, so it aims to provide a deeper insight into changes and adaptations in Chinese ethnic marriage institutions after the implementation of national marriage law regulation. Thus, the settlement measure taken after the entry into force of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage in a customaryly married couple, giving birth to an out-of-marriage child by an act on behalf of the mother, which if it is to be authenticated as the child of the father and mother, requires a court decision.

The process of learning Arabic is still considered difficult by students, lazy, not to mention students who from the beginning have considered Arabic difficult, they will automatically feel burdened to learn Arabic and not so responsive during the teaching and learning process. In addition, the lack of mastery of vocabulary makes it difficult for students to learn and master Arabic. This study examines the educational game of the goods box as an alternative in learning Arabic, especially vocabulary. This study uses a quantitative approach with an experimental research method. The results of this study are: the application of the educational game of the goods box which was carried out in five meetings, was considered very helpful in fostering the spirit of learning and improving vocabulary and the quality of students' understanding so that students become more active in class. And there is a significant influence of the application of the goods box game on improving mastery of vocabulary in class VII students of SMP Ma'arif Sumurber Panceng Gresik. This is evidenced by the pre-test score with a total of 435, an average score of 43.5. And the post-test score was 885, an average score of 88.5. So it is proven by the increase in value of 450. The box game also has a significant influence, this is proven by the results of the t-count analysis which is higher than the t-table at a significant level of 0.05 in the T-distribution table, namely 19.100> 2.262. And also at a significant level of 0.01, namely 19.100> 1.833.
Observational study of the Anatomical and structural changes of Amsa Marmghata in Bhujastambha
Authors: Patil A  , Sawant S  , Pandhire AS
Published: June 2024

Bhujastambha is a disease that usually affects the Amsa sandhi (shoulder joint). It is produced by the Vata dosha. Even though the term Apabahuka is not mentioned in the nanatmaja Vata vyadhi, Acharya Sushruta and others have considered Apabahuka as a Vataja vikara. Amsa shosha (wasting of the shoulder) can be considered as the preliminary stage of the disease, where loss or dryness of sleshaka kapha from Amsa sandhi occurs. Amsa marmaghat can be correlated with frozen shoulder due similarity in symptomology. Frozen shoulder (FS) mainly affects the older population, with a female predominance. The precise prevalence of FS is unknown, some studies have quoted prevalence of 2%– 5% in the general population. In the ancient era, even after the best treatment available at that time, some sort of disability remained at end of the therapy. Nowadays, though super specialty modalities are available, is modern science capable of taking care of these disabilities? To rule out the above question, a study of marma sharira and Amsa Marma ghata is essential.

Semi-structured interviews reflecting technology acceptance literature conducted with agency practitioners to discover the usages and conditions of AI supported applications. Participants are selected in accordance with convenience and snowball sampling methods. The results provide important insights into four main strands of the literature: Technology usefulness, ease of use, attitudes toward technologies and barriers preventing and restricting the use of technologies. It is understood that practitioners effectively utilize AI in their business processes highlighting its contribution to efficiency in creative production. While technologies are being actively utilized, the process of understanding and exploring is still ongoing in the background. In line with the literature, agency practitioners point out the skepticism that exists among advertisers. It is noticable that as a result of finding AI tools useful and easy to use, overall attitude of participants toward AI tend to be positive. Participants asserted that they do not have any concerns about being replaced by AI. Their confidence on this matter seems to be based on the idea that AI could be most efficient in cooperation with human intelligence.

Authors: Karatay Serkan
Published: June 2024

Social media platforms, which have become carriers of new communication and expression forms in digital environments, influence communication in personal, cultural, and societal contexts. These platforms, where expression and representation can be amalgamated through various modes of sharing, significantly enhance the visibility of influencers and fans. Additionally, social media has opened the door to the representation of techno-identities, where artificial intelligence-generated virtual characters can create their spheres of influence, manifest within the 'digital reality,' and reflect human passions. Leo constitutes the foundation of this study both as a fan/supporter and as a virtual influencer. The study, which is framed by the convergence of sports fandom and supporter practices with fan and influencer practices, also examines the relationship between media fandom and sports fandom. Concrete findings related to the topics addressed within the theoretical framework were sought through data obtained from the social media accounts of ‘Leo the fan’. The findings of the study reveal the relationship between sports fandom and media fandom with fan practices and influencer practices.
