Published: March 2024

Product classification is a critical task for the smooth running of the purchase process in e-commerce websites. When it comes to P2P marketplaces, users can act both as sellers and as buyers, and they need to assign predefined categories to the products they want to sell. Besides being tedious for users, this task can result in ambiguous or inaccurate assignments. This article presents a method for the automatic categorization of items offered in a local P2P marketplace using a multi-level classification approach. Our experiments demonstrated a significant improvement in the classification results of the proposed solution compared to a traditional direct classification approach.

Published: March 2024

Under the influence of the coronavirus disease and other factors, agricultural product prices show non-stationary and non-linear characteristics, making it increasingly difficult to forecast accurately. This paper proposes an innovative combinatorial model for Chinese hog price forecasting. First, the price is decomposed using the Seasonal and Trend decomposition using the Loess (STL) model. Next, the decomposed data are trained with the Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) and Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) models. Finally, the prepared data and the multivariate influence factors after Factor analysis are predicted using the gated recurrent neural network and attention mechanisms (AttGRU) to obtain the final prediction values. Compared with other models, the STL-FA-AttGRU model produced the lowest errors and achieved more accurate forecasts of hog prices. Therefore, the model proposed in this paper has the potential for other price forecasting, contributing to the development of precision and sustainable agriculture.

Authors: Ou Qiqi , Zhang Xiaohong , Wang Jingqian
Published: March 2024

Fuzzy rough sets (FRSs) play a significant role in the field of data analysis, and one of the common methods for constructing FRSs is the use of the fuzzy logic operators. To further extend FRSs theory to more diverse information backgrounds, this article proposes a covering variable precision fuzzy rough set model based on overlap functions and fuzzy β-neighbourhood operators (OCVPFRS). Some necessary properties of OCVPFRS have also been studied in this work. Furthermore, multi-label classification is a prevalent task in the realm of machine learning. Each object (sample or instance) in multi-label data is associated with various labels (classes), and there are numerous features or attributes that need to be taken into account within the attribute space. To enhance various performance metrics in the multi-label classification task, attribute reduction is an essential pre-processing step. Therefore, according to overlap functions and fuzzy rough sets’ excellent work on applications: such as image processing and multi-criteria decision-making, we establish an attribute reduction method suitable for multi-label data based on OCVPFRS. Through a series of experiments and comparative analysis with existing multi-label attribute reduction methods, the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method have been verified.

Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND: Trolley bags have gained popularity among students, but there is limited research comparing them to backpack-style school bags. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare how carrying a backpack versus a trolley bag affects the activity of trunk and lower limb muscles in secondary school students. METHODS: Electromyographic activity was measured in 25 students (13.4±1.1 years) as they walked on level ground and up/down stairs while carrying both types of bags. The activity of the gastrocnemius, tibialis anterior, semitendinosus, rectus femoris, lumbar erector spinae, and rectus abdominis muscles was assessed on both the dominant and non-dominant sides. RESULTS: The study found significantly reduced muscle activation in most of the targeted muscles when walking on level ground with the trolley bag and when going up/down stairs with the backpack. CONCLUSIONS: Lifting a trolley bag depends on the slope of the walking surface and is more efficient on level ground, while carrying a backpack is more efficient when going up and down stairs. Since it is not practical to switch bags when encountering stairs in schools, a bag with a mixed model design incorporating features of both trolley and backpack may be more beneficial and practical for students to use. Students, parents, and teachers should be aware of the injury risks associated with carrying different types of bags.

Local wound treatment remains one of the most pressing problems of modern medicine. The effectiveness of local drug therapy with the use of various medications depends on the differentiated use of drugs depending on the phase of the wound process.

Taking into account modern wound treatment technologies, it is important to develop the composition and technology of an application drug (cream, ointment, gel) taking into account not only the phase of the wound process, but also the Time-concept component, in particular the ability of the drug to create an optimal moist environment and have antimicrobial properties, since the absence of infection in the wound is the basis for successful healing.

The aim of our study was to develop an optimal composition of ointment for wound treatment based on technological and physicochemical studies.

The rheological properties of the samples were studied using a Reotest-2 rotational viscometer (USA) with a water circulating heater. The structural viscosity was determined at a temperature of 20 ± 0,2 °C. Thermostatization was performed in the ITZH-0-03 thermostat.

The temperature was determined by a laboratory thermometer with a division price of 0,1 °C. The acid-base balance was determined potentiometrically according to the State Standard Form I. The pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug were determined by dialysis through a semipermeable membrane.

The experimental ointment is a non-Newtonian fluid. Its fluidity begins after a certain mechanical stress is applied, i.e., after the kinetic energy of the particles of the structural frame increases, which leads to the breakdown of bonds between its elements. The maximum destruction of the system occurs at a temperature of 40 °С. The experimental data showed that the pH of the ciminal ointment is in the range from 5,5 to 7.5, which is optimal for the treatment of infected wounds. The pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug were determined: reaction rate of release of active substances; reaction rate constants, half-life. The kinetic processes of ciminals release from the drug are described by the first-order equation.

The composition and technology of the ointment have been substantiated on the basis of experimental studies.
Chromatographic analysis of flavonoids and phenolic acids in the herb Ocimum sanctum L.
Authors: Шанайда М. І. , Черевко М. О.
Published: March 2024

The genus Basil (Ocimum L.), which belongs to the Mint (Lamiaceae Martinov) family, includes more than 70 species and several subspecies of herbaceous plants and subshrubs. In wild nature, they are common on almost all continents in tropical and subtropical regions, less often in temperate climates. Holy basil (Ocimum sanctum L.) is most often used in folk medicine of various countries. The medicinal properties of this plant are determined mainly by the essential oil and polyphenols. As it is known, the chemical composition of plant raw materials can vary significantly depending on genetic characteristics (subspecies, chemotype) as well as on soil and climatic conditions during its cultivation.

This study aimed to determine the chromatographic profile of flavonoids and phenolic acids in the Ocimum sanctum herb during its cultivation in the conditions of the Ternopil Region (Ukraine). The aerial part of the studied plant was harvested at the beginning of flowering in the summer of 2023. The dried raw material was crushed and sifted through a sieve. The chromatographic profile of flavonoids and phenolic acids was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using an Agilent Technologies 1200 chromatograph. The raw material was extracted using 80% methanol in an ultrasonic bath. Identification and quantitative analysis were carried out using solutions of standard samples of flavonoids and phenolic acids. Calibration was carried out by the method of external standards.

It was revealed that the Ocimum sanctum herb contains eight phenolic acids, among which hydroxycinnamic rosmarinic acid (10 453.48 μg/g) dominated. In general, the content of hydroxycinnamic acids in the raw material of the studied species was significantly higher than that of hydroxybenzoic acids. Among the six identified flavonoids, the highest content was determined for the flavanone neohesperidin (11 720.79 μg/g); the content of other flavonoids, in particular, flavonol derivatives (quercetin, rutin, quercetin-3-O-glycoside, kaempferol-3-O-glycoside) and flavone (luteolin) was significantly lower.

Considering the significant therapeutic potential of the predominant phenolic compounds, the planning of further pharmacological studies of phytosubstances based on the raw material of the studied species deserves attention.

Authors: Fedotova A , Makarskaya G
Published: March 2024

Abstract. Nowadays a lot of examinations are dedicated to determination of radiobiological effects under low doses of ionising radiation. It is known that ionising radiation in the cells of an organism increases generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The purpose of the work is to determine basic parameters of chemiluminescent kinetics of ROS in peripheral blood under in vitro radiation in the range of 100–500 mGy doses. The research will extend the knowledge of the impact degree of ionising radiation in low doses on organism tissue of farm animals. Scientific novelty is that the results of the research will allow to predict radiobiological effects of low doses in a multicellular organism. The research is included in practical and fundamental directions of radiobiology. Research methods. In vitro radiation of blood samples in the range of 100–500 mGy doses. The kinetics of generation of ROS is registered on 36-channel chemiluminometer 3604-PC. Results. The doses in the range of 100–300 mGy accelerated the time of the first peak of spontaneous and activated generation of radicals, under 500 mGy dose the formation of the first peak of spontaneous and activated generation of primary ROS decelerated. Under the impact of low absorbed doses maximum intensity of primary and secondary radicals generation decreased. The inhibition of primary radicals spontaneous production occurred under 100–300 mGy doses, the inhibition of antigen activated generation of primary ROS was under 400 mGy. The reduction of the amount of spontaneous secondary ROS was registered under 100 mGy dose. The decrease of antigen activated secondary radicals production occurred under 100–300 mGy doses. 500 mGy dose inhibited a reaction ability of blood cells to generate primary radicals. The external in vitro gamma radiation in the range of 100–500 mGy had a negative impact on peripheral blood cells showing an acceleration of chemiluminescent reaction as well as decrease of maximum intensity of the first peak of spontaneous and antigen activated primary and secondary radicals production. As a consequence, a decrease of the amount of primary and secondary radicals production was revealed.

Abstract. The purpose of the study is to examine the patterns of sectoral development of rural territorial systems in conditions of modern economic uncertainty using the example of a number of regions of the Russian Federation. The results of the work of modern authors in the field of rural economics and agricultural production are summarized and interpreted, which made it possible to calculate forecasts for the development of agricultural sectors in the Volga Federal District and the Perm Territory of the Russian Federation for the period until 2030. The scientific novelty lies in the assessment of the sectoral development of agro-industrial territorial systems, through the study of the dynamics of the main indicators of agricultural activity using trend analysis in a fairly short period of modern economic uncertainty, which is a significant step forward in this area of scientific research. To identify the dynamics and forecast the development of the main sectors of agricultural production, methods were used to graphically identify linear dependence and construct linear trends using homogeneous statistical indicators. The main results of the study are the developed measures for the stable sectoral development of rural areas of the Russian Federation in modern conditions and overcoming the existing regional differentiation. The implementation of measures involves the introduction of innovative solutions that provide an adaptive response to market trends and changes in the influence of external factors in the regional management of sectoral development of rural areas. Thus, the study provides a basis for understanding the components of sectoral development of rural areas and allows us to identify ways to constructively solve complex and multifaceted problems associated with the stabilization of agricultural production. The practical significance of the proposed solutions lies in their relevance in the activities of regional government authorities and relevant departments in the processes of improving the management of sectoral development of rural areas as part of the implementation of strategic documents for the spatial and sectoral development of the Russian Federation.

Authors: Rahimova Evgeniya
Published: March 2024

Abstract. The need to increase the production of fruits and berries raises the question of increasing productivity, which is possible in modern conditions through the digital transformation of the horticulture industry. The purpose of this study is to develop approaches that will allow us to prepare a concept for the digital transformation of the country's horticulture. Research methods: socio-economic analysis, graphical and SWOT analysis. Scientific novelty of the research: the strengths and weaknesses of the development of digitalization in horticulture in the Russian Federation, the emerging opportunities and threats, have been identified, factors hindering the development of digital technologies in the country's horticulture have been identified, and measures have been proposed to mitigate their impact. Research results. The article examines the provision of fruits and berries of the country's own production by region in relation to actual consumption and consumption standards recommended by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation in the period 2010-2021. Based on the calculations made, it was concluded that in recent years it has been possible to increase these indicators in the country as a whole to 37.9 % and 27.3 %, respectively, however, the share of imports remains high and the issue of increasing horticultural products is very relevant. The SWOT analysis of the development of digitalization in horticulture in the Russian Federation showed that along with the capabilities of digital technologies, there are also weaknesses, the main of which are significant investment costs for both design organizations and users – specific agricultural producers. Factors hindering the development of digital technologies in Russian horticulture are divided into five groups: industry, economic, government, technical and social. To mitigate the impact of these factors, it is recommended to use additional government support measures, as well as cooperation and the creation of clusters, which is confirmed by the experience of foreign countries. Examples of successful Russian cooperatives in the field of growing and harvesting fruits and berries are given. The proposed approaches can be used when developing at the state level the concept of digital transformation of horticulture both in the Russian Federation as a whole and in individual regions.
Modern Bir Aile Cemaati: Köpek Dişi

Zygmunt Bauman “Cemaatler: Güvenli Olmayan Bir Dünyada Güvenlik Arayışı” isimli kitabında cemaat kavramını kolayca ulaşamayacağımız ama içinde yaşamayı çok arzu ettiğimiz bir dünya olarak tanımlar. Bu dünya, güvenlik arayışıyla sığındığımız fakat bir süre sonra güvenliğimizin bedelini özgürlüğümüzle ödediğimiz ikilemli bir yapıdır.

Yunan Yeni Dalgası’nın önemli yönetmenlerinden Yorgos Lanthimos’un ikinci uzun metraj filmi Köpek Dişi (Dogtooth, 2009), bu ikilemli yapının toplumdan izole bir ailede nasıl çözüldüğünü incelememize olanak tanır. Aile kavramının, öğrenilen ve öğretilen bilgilerle güvenli ve özgür bir yuvaya, doğuştan gelen güdülerle ise karanlık bir kutuya dönüştüğünü cemaat kavramı üzerinden açıklamaya çalışmak, aile ve cemaat kavramlarının ne denli benzer oluşumlar olduklarını gözler önüne sermeye ve cemaat oluşumunun aslında gönüllü bir aidiyetten daha farklı bir yapı olarak şekillendiğini göstermemize yardımcı olacaktır.

Bu metin nitel bir çalışma olup, önemli bir olguyu belirgin bir şekilde yansıtan ya da normal şartlar altında özel bir öneme sahip olan durumları nitelediğimiz kritik durum örneklemesi çerçevesinde Baumancı bir okuma bağlamında ele alınarak, son yıllarda ‘modern aile’ kavramı üzerine tartışma yaratmış en önemli filmlerden olan ve ‘aile’ tanımına yeni-farklı bir bakış açısı kattığını düşündüğümüz Dogtooth filmi üzerinden aile ve cemaat kavramlarını bağdaştırmayı hedeflemektedir.
ALMANYA'DA TÜRK MÜZİĞİ EĞİTİMİ: KÖLN ÖRNEĞİ

Published: March 2024

Türk tarihinde göç ve göç yolları oldukça önemli bir sosyolojik olgu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu göçlerin en büyüklerinden birisi de 1950-60’lı yıllarda başta Almanya olmak üzere Avrupa’ya olandır. O tarihten bu yana Almanya’ya göç eden Türkler, Almanya’da sadece çalışarak ekonomiye katkıda bulunmayıp, sosyal anlamda da adeta bir kültür elçiliği görevi üstlenmişlerdir. Kültür ve sanat, bir toplumun asırlarca biriktirip sahip çıktığı ve günümüze kadar geliştirerek yaşattığı en kıymetli değerleridir. Müzik ise bu yapı içinde önemli bir yere sahiptir ve Türkiye dışında yaşayan gurbetçi vatandaşlarımız açısından farklı bir anlam ifade etmektedir. Özellikle Almanya’da yaşayan vatandaşlarımız bir taraftan yabancı bir toplum ile uyumlu yaşamanın yollarını ararken diğer taraftan içgüdüsel, doğal ve insancıl olarak kendi kültürüne sahip çıkmanın çabasında olmuşlardır.
Almanya’ya ilk gelen Türkler, memleket özlemi ile kendi kültürüne daha fazla sahip çıkmıştır. Daha sonraki dönemlerde ise özellikle Almanya’da doğan yeni kuşak gençlerin adım adım bu konulardan uzaklaştığı, günümüzde dördüncü kuşak nüfusun ise neredeyse kendi kültüründen tamamen uzaklaştıklarını söyleyebiliriz. Bunda memleketten uzakta geçim çabası içinde ayakta kalma mücadelesi yanında, Almanya’nın başlangıçtan günümüze kadar uyguladığı asimilasyon, adaptasyon ve entegrasyon politikaları da etkili olmuştur.
Böyle bir kültürel çöküş karşısında, sadece söz ve müzik olmaktan daha fazla anlama gelen Türk müziğine sahip çıkmak önemli bir konu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu amaçla yapılan çalışmada, Almanya’nın Köln şehrinde yer alan ve Türk müziği eğitimi veren üçü resmi, altısı vakıf ve dernek, dördü ise özel olmak üzere 13 kuruluştaki Türk müziği faaliyetlerinin ortaya çıkarılması hedeflenmiştir. Çalışmada farklı türlerde on üç kuruluştan elde edilen bulgular sonucunda, en çok Türk halk müziği ve bağlama eğitiminin tercih edildiği tespit edilmiştir.

Published: March 2024

The availability of 3D reconstruction technologies expands the possibilities of their application for analyzing the state of complex technical objects. However, solutions for 3D reconstruction still heavily depend on the quality of the input data and require significant time investments to build high-quality 3D models. The goal of this study is to expedite the process of constructing detailed and defect-free 3D models by creating an automated method to assist the operator during the capture of RGB images for subsequent 3D reconstruction. The method is used for preliminary analysis of the collected data and allows for the identification of problematic frames in advance, as well as determining the areas of the object to be captured that will be reconstructed with defects or low level of detail. The study describes algorithms for the two final stages of the method - global analysis and recommendations, based on the real-time construction of sparse point clouds and 3D models, as well as their properties assessment in conjunction with the operator's trajectory, reconstructed from accelerometer and gyroscope data. The effectiveness of the final stages of the method, based on the proposed algorithms, was evaluated through experiments. It was demonstrated that the use of global analysis and recommendation stages not only allows for predicting defective areas and low-detail zones in dense 3D models on mobile devices, but also accelerates the process of obtaining a high-quality 3D model by at least five times through automated analysis of the collected data.

Authors: Yanti Lisa Apri , Dewi Veni Rosita , Bahar Erial
Published: March 2024

Background: Tracheostomy is a procedure that aims to maintain the airway so that air can enter the lungs and bypass the upper airway. Tracheostomy causes physiological changes, especially in terms of communication, which leads to reduced voice-related quality of life. Fenestrated tracheal cannula and speaking valve can assist patients in generating voice.

Objective: To compare the V-RQOL scores of the fenestrated tracheal cannula and speaking valve users.

Methods: Analytic observational study using a cross-sectional design. Data collection was done through interviews with the V-RQOL questionnaire guide. The study was conducted in September-December 2022 at the THTBKL Polyclinic of Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital Palembang. Data were analyzed with IBM SPSS 26.

Results: 42 patients were using tracheal cannula, with 21 patients each with a fenestrated and speaking valve tracheal cannula. Patients with fenestrated tracheal cannula had lower quality of life in the physical, social, and total domains than those in the speaking valve group (poor QoL in the physical domain: 66.67% vs. 9.52%; social domain: 85.71% vs. 57.14%; total domain: 76.19% vs. 4.76%; p<0.001). From the multivariate analysis, the tracheal cannula type influenced the patient's quality of life was (p<0.001). The probability of someone with a fenestrated tracheal cannula will experience a poor QoL is 76.2%, while speaking valve is 4.7%.

Conclusion: The quality of life of patients with a fenestrated type of tracheal cannula is significantly lower than that of speaking valve tracheal cannula users in both the physical, social, and total domains as measured by the V-RQOL.

Human nature is something that has been debated for centuries. There are various views on human nature, ranging from spiritual views to material views. In this journal, the author will discuss human nature from two perspectives, namely well-being and equality. Well-being is a state characterized by happiness, satisfaction and health. Equality is a state characterized by equal rights and opportunities for all people. Both of these are important for humans, as they can contribute significantly to the quality of human life. Well-being can be achieved through various means, such as fulfilment of basic needs, development of personal potential, and positive social relationships. Equality can be achieved through various means, such as fair public policies, quality education, and open employment opportunities. The author argues that well-being and equality are interrelated. Equally achieved well-being will create a fairer and more equal society. Conversely, equality that is achieved will create a more well-being society

Shirk is an act that assosciates or duplicates something other than Allah . Shirk is the greatest sin and injustice. Shirk is divided into two types, namely shirk al-akbar (large shirk) and shirk al-asghar (small shirk). Shirk al-Akbar is the most serious and major form of shirk in Islamic teachings because it excludes the perpetrators from Islam, such as worshiping idols, asking for help from the dead, or assuming there is someone in authority other than Allah. Shirk al-ashgar is a milder form of shirk than shirk al-akbar because it does not expel the perpetrator from Islam, but reduces his rewards and deeds, such as vows other than Allah, riya, or takabur. Shirk is caused by various factors, such as liking, love, faith, fear, desire or taqlid (following along). Shirk has a very bad impact on humans, reducing rewards, preventing entry to heaven, causing punishment, and detouring from the path of Allah. Shirk must be avoided by increasing knowledge, faith, sincerity, , making dhikr, always remembering Allah, and staying away from all Allah's prohibitions.

This work aimed to investigate the lifespan and breeding use, reproductive qualities, and the level of their discreteness in sows of the large white breed of French breeding, considering their operational value. Agroprime Holding LLC of the Odesa region, the laboratory of innovative technologies, and experimental livestock facilities of the Institute of Pig Breeding and AIP of the National Academy of Sciences carried out the practical part of the work. Evaluation of sows according to indicators characterizing the level of their adaptation and reproductive qualities was carried out taking into account the following characteristics: life expectancy, days; duration of tribal use, days; received farts; all live piglets were born, head.; multifertility, ch.; high fertility, kg.; nest weight at the time of weaning at 28 days, kg; preservation, %. The selection index of reproductive qualities of the sow (SIRQS) was calculated according to the method of O. M. Tsereniuk et al. (2010), the coefficient of discreteness (D) – Seromolot and Sviatchenko (1984). Biometric processing of research results was carried out according to generally accepted methods. It has been established that sows of the large white breed of French breeding, provided they are kept in production premises using innovative technologies, are characterized by high indicators of the level of adaptation and reproductive qualities. Thus, their life span is 905.7 days, the duration of breeding use is 680.6 days, and in terms of reproductive qualities, they belong to the elite class. A significant difference between the groups of experimental animals was established in terms of life expectancy, duration of breeding use, total number of live piglets, multifertility, and litter weight at the time of weaning at the age of 28 days. The maximum indicators of high fertility (1.34 kg) and preservation of piglets until weaning at the age of 28 days (100 %) were found in sows of the “low operational value” category. The coefficient of discreteness of life expectancy and breeding use in sows of I, II, and III experimental groups is equal to 0.406, 0.677, and 0.633, reproductive qualities – 0.828, 0.882, and 0.903, respectively. Coefficients of paired correlation between life span and breeding use of sows and signs of reproductive qualities range from -0.055 to +0.904. The maximum increase in additional production was obtained from sows of the “high operational value” category – +6.80 %, and its value is +355.57 UAH/head/ farrowing.

The study, conducted at the Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute, aimed to assess semen quality and characteristics in three types of indigenous cocks and explore seasonal variations. Ninety bird samples from three genotypes, namely non-descript Deshi (ND), Hilly (HI), and Naked Neck (NN), were used in this research. A total of 548 semen samples were collected to evaluate the color, volume, consistency, and transparency of semen in different seasons. Semen collection was performed using an abdominal massage technique, and volume was measured with a tuberculin syringe. For determining microscopic physical and morphological characteristics, computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) software was used. Results showed that among three types of indigenous cocks, semen quality differed (p < 0.001) from season to season. Semen quality was comparatively good for ND in the autumn season, for HI in the summer season, and for NN in the spring season. The highest semen volume (0.318 ± 0.010 ml) was recorded in the summer season, and the lowest semen volume (0.218 ± 0.008 ml) was recorded in the spring season. Genotype had a significant (p < 0.01) effect on semen volume, and the effect of semen and genotype interaction on semen volume was non-significant (p > 0.05). The sperm concentration was higher in NN compared to ND and HI. The percentages of static, bent tail, coiled tail, DMR, distal droplet, and proximal droplet were comparatively higher in the HI and NN genotypes. The color, consistency, and volume of semen were affected by genotype and season.

Farmers habits in cultivating corn plants, including excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, causing environmental pollution and decreasing soil quality, both chemical, physical, and biological, which results in low production, therefore some efforts are needed to remain productive, namely by using biological fertilizers to improve soil improvement and improve spacing. This study aims to determine the growth and production of maize at various distance planting and to apply biofertilization. The research was conducted in Sei Beras Sekata Village, Deli Serdang in December 2019 to March 2020. The research used factorial randomized block design, the first factor was various of distance planting 70 cm x 10 cm, 70 cm x 15 cm, 70 cm x 20 cm, and the second factor was biological fertilizer consisting of 0 g/ha, 400 g/ha, 800 g/ha, 1200 g/ha. The observed parameters were plant height, leaf area, stem diameter, dry seed weight per plant, dry seed weight per plot, cob length, ear diameter, number of seeds per cob and root dry weight. The results showed that planting distances 70 cm x 20 cm significantly affected the stem diameter, length of cob, ear diameter, number of seeds per cob, weight of dried seeds per plant, and weight of dried seeds per plot. Biological fertilizer has a significant effect on the diameter of the cob. There was no interaction between the distance of planting corn and the application of biological fertilizer to the growth and production of corn.

Rectification of what was stated in the edition Diwan Jaran Al, Oud Al, Nimeiri
Authors: Mohammed Asst.Prof Phd Hazem Fadel
Published: March 2024

Our Arabic literature was full of poets in its long history, including our poet Gran Oud Al-Nimeiri, whose poetry was a model of good poetry in our Arab heritage, which led me to find some poetic verses scattered in the various sources of literature that missed the diwan investigator, where the verses of gran al-Oud Al-Nimeiri poetry by Nouri Hammoudi al-Qaisi were:  358 thirds of a hundred and fifty-eight verses.

In this way I found some poetic verses in the books of language, literature and history ... It is one of the origins of famous books that missed the edition of the diwan with the investigation of Dr. Nouri Hammoudi al-Qaisi, and before this realization there are those who turned to the diwan, where dr. Al-Qaisi was assigned to the Diwan al-Oud Al-Nimeiri, which included thirty-three verses, and dr. Radwan al-Najjar was also entitled to twenty-four verses, and he participated with Dr. Al-Qaisi in seventeen of them (and singled out seven).

Then came Professor Abbas Hani al-Jarakh to made a edihad in which he listed eleven verses, four of which were imported by Dr. Najjar before him, and he was singled out by seven.

I have found nineteen verses that have missed all those who preceded me in this field, and it seems that their miss of these verses is the lack of time to see books that have not reached the hands of virtuous investigators...

In this speech, Imam Ali adopted the style of grievance and soliloquy. His expressions referred to many meanings of sadness and suffering due to the loss of this virtuous wife.

This state reminded him of how he lost the messenger of God and how he did the mission of his bod-washing and burying him, stating that patience and reward will be taken into consideration by Alla owing to this painful loss. The influence of Quran was very clear in this abridged speech which expresses many meanings and indications with reference to the tyranny and aggression launched against the daughter of the messenger of Alla wich was considered the cause of her speedy following with her father and her departure from the world.

The issue of the weakness of female students in Arabic grammar is an obstacle that was and still exists, despite the large number of scientific studies that dealt with this phenomenon and tried to reduce it, but it still exists to this day.

The importance of Arabic language stems from its being the most important link between individuals and groups, and therefore nations are interested in teaching their languages because it is a tool for thinking and expression, and it is a tool of understanding and communication between man and his environment. It is compatible with the students’ perceptions and understanding, and the experience and knowledge that they are equipped with. Arabic language is an honorable language of great stature that no language in the world has reached, neither in its past, nor in its present, nor in its future, because God Almighty revealed through it the Noble Qur’an that came to all mankind.

Arabic language grammar is of great importance because it is the faithful fortress, as it protects the tongue from melody and works to straighten the students’ tongues, accustom them to accuracy and to the correct use of words and structures, train them to think continuously, and enable them to understand complex and ambiguous structures.

 As for the importance of the functional method in teaching Arabic grammar, because it aims to address grammatical rules in educational situations, and targets the aspect of meaning and the linking of words to each other when performing their meanings.

The importance of grammatical rules and their distinct status is what prompts us to teach them in ways that appeal to requests, and the method of teaching is one of the most important problems of teaching Arabic grammar.
