ВЕРБАЛЬНЫЕ ХЕЗИТАТИВЫ В СПОНТАННОЙ РЕЧИ БАШКИР (НА МАТЕРИАЛЕ ДИАЛЕКТНЫХ ДИСКУРСОВ)
Authors: Бускунбаева Лилия Айсовна
Published: January 2025

Статья посвящена анализу вербальных хезитативов, функционирующих в большом количестве в башкирской устной речи. Материалом для исследования стали полевые записи автора, диалектные тексты, включенные в Текстологическую базу Диалектологического подфонда Машинного фонда башкирского языка. Исследуемый материал позволил выявить новые значения и функции слов, которые ранее не были исследованы лингвистами и не зафиксированы в лексикографических работах. Одной из таких лексиче ских единиц выступают вербальные хезитативы, которые приобрели прагматическое значение в результате утраты лексического значения. Они играют значимую роль в организации устной речи, как вспомогательные и важные элементы для построения, реализации и восприятия речи, обеспечивая ее плавность и эффективность. В устной речи употребляются как исконные (ни ‘это самое, как его (ее, их)’), так и заимствованные (ну, так) вербальные хезитативы. В качестве основных причин возникновения хезитативов рассматриваются коммуникативные затруднения в потоке речи, связанные с проблемой планирования структуры следующего фрагмента, подбора более уместного слова, соответствующего исходному замыслу говорящего либо припоминания конкретного слова, факта, дат, имен и названий.

ФОНЕТИЧЕСКИЕ ОСОБЕННОСТИ КАЙТАГСКОГО ДИАЛЕКТА КУМЫКСКОГО ЯЗЫКА (ПРЕДВАРИТЕЛЬНЫЕ ЭКСПЕРИМЕНТАЛЬНЫЕ ДАННЫЕ)
Authors: Алжанбекова Зарема Калабзаровна
Published: January 2025

В статье разбираются некоторые предварительные выводы, сделанные на основе полевых данных и их последующего анализа. Подробный фонетический анализ каждого говора в отдельности представляет большую ценность для сравнительно-исторического языкознания, так как дает совершенно новый материал. Кумыкскими диалектами, в том числе их фонетикой и фонологией, занимались такие лингвисты, как Н.К. Дмитриев, И.А. Керимов, Д.М. Хангишиев, Н.Х. Ольмесов и др. Так как до недавнего времени не существовало базы аудиоданных по диалектам, то невозможно было экспериментально подтвердить имеющиеся наработки по фонетике диалектов. Чтобы восполнить пробел в этой области знания, автор настоящей статьи проводит сбор данных по различны кумыкским говорам. Особенно сильно недостаток внимания языковедов чувствуется в сфере диалектной фонетики, нет значительных публикаций по экспериментальным исследова ниям. В связи с этим изучение фонетики диалектов кумыкского языка остается актуальной темой в кумыкской диалектологии. В данной статье анализируются некоторые артикуляторно-акустические характеристики гласных и согласных тумеллерского говора кайтагского диалекта кумыкского языка. Акустический анализ проводится с помощью программ Audacity и Praat. Инструментальный метод дает возможность сравнить фонетику и фонологию литературного кумыкского языка с диалектами, выявить общие и различные явления, что может помочь в изучении диахронических фонетических процессов. Результаты экспериментальной фонетики могут быть использованы в разработке технологии распознавания и синтеза речи, а также в создании систем автоматического перевода.
ТЕРМИНОЛОГИЯ ТЮРКСКИХ РУНИЧЕСКИХ ПАМЯТНИКОВ И МОНГОЛЬСКАЯ ЛЕКСИКА
Authors: Мудрак Олег Алексеевич
Published: January 2025

Для унификации переводов и понимания «имперских» памятников тюркского рунического письма была создана компьютерная база, включающая надписи II Тюркского и Уйгурского каганатов. В данной работе описывается структура и устройство данной базы и особое внимание уделяется классификации семантических полей. В качестве материала введены данные девяти больших «имперских» надписей, лексические свидетельства которых, включающие значимые контексты, даются в унифицированной транскрипционной транслитерации, разработанной автором. На данный момент в базе присутствует около 390 вхождений, из которых сино-тибетских и индоевропейских параллелей не больше 30 для каждой из семей, а монгольских параллелей – более 110, что напрямую указывает на степень интенсивности языковых контактов. В статье рассматриваются семантические поля контактной лексики для каждой из семей и для монгольского языка. Большая часть лексики с монгольскими параллелями, связанная с человеком и социальными отношениями, имеет положительную коннотацию или высокий статус.С отрицательным значением отмечены лишь пять названий «толпы». В качестве иллюстрации дана карта распространения собственно тюркских топонимов и этнонимов и соответствующей лексики, имеющей монгольские параллели и этимологию. Наглядно показывается, что утверждение об отсутствии монголизмов в ранних рунических памятниках крайне сомнительно и не учитывает языковых и исторических данных.

Authors: ALAM Syamsu , WAHYUNI Nur , ARFAH Eka Ariaty
Published: January 2025

This study examines the act of whistleblowing as a fraud prevention mechanism with a focus on the role of auditors in Makassar City. Whistleblowing, defined as reporting violations of law or ethics to authorities, has great potential in detecting fraud and promoting organizational transparency. This study explores factors that influence auditors' courage to whistleblow, including professional commitment, moral intensity, and cultural and religious aspects. The methodology of this study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with a number of auditors in Makassar City. The results of the study indicate that the moral intensity of auditors is a dominant factor in motivating whistleblowing. This study also found that an organizational culture that supports transparency and legal protection for whistleblowers has a significant influence on increasing the effectiveness of the whistleblowing system. This study reveals that whistleblowing can be an effective early detection tool if supported by supportive organizational policies, special training for auditors, and the adoption of anonymous reporting technology. In conclusion, whistleblowing is an important element in fraud prevention efforts. By strengthening professional commitment, increasing moral intensity, and creating a supportive organizational environment, auditors can play a more effective role in identifying and reporting fraud. This study provides practical recommendations for policymakers to develop a safer and more transparent whistleblowing system.

Analysis of superquadratic fuzzy interval valued function and its integral inequalities
Authors: Khan Dawood , Butt Saad Ihsan , Fahad Asfand , Wang Yuanheng , Mohsin Bandar Bin
Published: January 2025

Superquadratic function is a generalization of convex functions. Results based on superquadratic functions are more refined than the results obtained using the notion of convexity. This work aims to provide a new class of superquadratic functions called superquadratic fuzzy-interval-valued function (superquadrtic $ F_{I.V.F} $) and demonstrate its properties using fuzzy order relations. In the space of fuzzy intervals, this relation is also termed as the Kulisch-Miranker order relation defined on such a space level-wise. By leveraging the definition and features of superquadrtic $ F_{I.V.F} $, we come up with improved integral inequalities such as Hermite-Hadamard (H.H) and Jensen type for superquadrtic $ F_{I.V.F} $. Furthermore, we offer fractional representation of inequalities of H.H's types for superquadrtic $ F_{I.V.F} $ with respect to fuzzy interval Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operators. These findings are further validated through specific numerical examples and graphical illustrations, which demonstrate the practical relevance and applicability of the results. We have no doubt that these results will open new avenues for researchers to further explore the notion of superuadraticity.
Mathematical solutions for coupled nonlinear equations based on bioconvection in MHD Casson nanofluid flow
Authors: Ur Rehman Khalil , Fatima Nosheen , Shatanawi Wasfi , Kousar Nabeela
Published: January 2025

The mathematical formulation of fluid flow problems often results in coupled nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs); hence, their solutions remain a challenging task for researchers. The present study offers a solution for the flow differential equations describing a bio-inspired flow field of non-Newtonian fluid with gyrotactic microorganisms. A methanol-based nanofluid with ferrous ferric oxide, copper, and silver nanoparticles was considered in a stretching permeable cylinder. The chemical reaction, activation energy, viscous dissipation, and convective boundary conditions were considered. The Casson fluid, a non-Newtonian fluid model, was used as flowing over a cylinder. The fundamental PDEs were established using boundary layer theory in a cylindrical coordinate system for concentration, mass, momentum, and microorganisms' field. These PDEs were then transformed into nonlinear ODEs by applying transforming variables. ODEs were then numerically solved in MATLAB software using the built-in solver bvp4c algorithm. We established an artificial neural network (ANN) model, incorporating Tan-Sig and Purelin transfer functions, to enhance the accuracy of predicting skin friction coefficient (SFC) values along the surface. The networks were trained using the Levenberg–Marquardt method. Quantitative results show that the ferrous ferric oxide nanofluid is superior in increasing Nusselt number, Sherwood number, velocity, and microorganism density number; silver nanofluid is superior in increasing skin friction coefficient, temperature, and concentration. Interestingly, heat transfer rate decreases with the magnetic and curvature parameters and Eckert number, whereas the skin friction coefficient increases with the magnetic parameter and Darcy–Forchheimer number. The present results are validated with the previous existing studies.
Using d2d for Writing XML
Authors: Lepper Markus , Widemann Baltasar Trancón y
Published: January 2025

The textual structures of notes and publications in music theory and musical analysis
bring challenging requirements: how to include music notation excerpts, graphics, and even
combinations thereof into the typeset flow of paragraphs and the workflow, and how to
integrate navigable references to these and to single domain entities into running text.
Furthermore, dynamic interactive documents can be useful for presenting complicated
interdependencies to the reader more clearly, far beyond conventional paper publication. D2d is a text format definition and compiler-based implementation to allow
domain experts and novelists to write texts in the flow of authoring, with minimal
technical interference, that are nevertheless valid XML documents. The multiNotes text architecture and processing pipeline described here is
based on d2d and standard technologies (XSLT, ECMAScript, lilyPond, PostScript, etc.) and
addresses these issues. It can be reused as it is for further projects. Being standard
XML, switching the backend to other formats (like TEI plus MEI) seems promising—not
affecting the underlying design criteria. All source texts are in the public domain; a
publication on an open-source code repository is in preparation.
The Perception of Urology as a Specialty Among Medical Students at Jordan University
Authors: Almutairi Saad
Published: January 2025

Urology is a medico-surgical specialty that deals with the treatment of disorders related to the urinary tract. Although urology is a specialty that treats patients of both sexes, many people still have the misconception about it. Because of this, many students and doctors may be dissuaded from pursuing a career in urology as a result of these stereotypes. The aim of this study is to investigate whether or not medical students face societal or sexual biases when making a decision to pursue a career in urology. In addition, this study will help uncover whether the allocated time for this specialization at Jordan's medical school is sufficient or not. This study highlights the necessity for enhancements to be made in the basic urological training and correcting the miss-understood concepts. As a suggestion we believe that modifying the rounds by adding more clinical time and regular exposure to patients with urological issues could enhance the urological education.
Semantic-Driven Ghosting-Free Image Fusion Using Dual Gain Video Stream With FPGA
Authors: Xu Yang , Xie Longhua , Huang Hongchuan , Yu Feihong , Zhao Tingyu
Published: January 2025

Conventional methods that merge multiple images with different exposure levels often suffer from blur and ghosting due to object movement. Existing ghosting removal algorithms are usually complex and slow, making them unsuitable for real-time video applications. To address this challenge, this study proposes a novel ghosting-free image fusion method using a dual gain video stream setup on an FPGA. IMX662 image sensor is employed, which simultaneously captures both HCG and LCG images with the same exposure time, enabling efficient HDR image synthesis. The proposed method directly addresses the source of the problem, eliminating the need for post-processing steps, thereby preserving algorithmic simplicity. Experimental results reveal that the proposed method not only removes ghosting by 100% but also processes data on an FPGA 98.79% faster than traditional software-based HDR fusion techniques, enabling real-time video stream processing. This dual gain, ghosting-free fusion algorithm demonstrates promising potential for use in high-speed photography and surveillance.

Authors: Mutasa Laizah , Ujakpa Martin Mabeifam , Nyikana Wandisa , Shaanika Irja N. , Iyamu Tiko
Published: January 2025

Namibia is characterized by a fragmented health-care system that has led to data inconsistencies and duplication of efforts. It has also become costly to health-care institutions to maintain these fragmented, standalone systems. This study examined how enterprise architecture (EA) can be applied to guide the integration of health information systems (HISs) in the Namibian health-care context. A qualitative approach was applied to collect data from two cases using semi structured interviews and an interpretive approach in the analysis. From the analysis, the constructs of requirements clarity, information systems and technology (IS/T) project management, systems documentation, and communication were discovered to influence the development and integration of HISs. Applying these constructs, the study developed an EA guide for the development and integration of HISs. The study recommends that future studies consider developing similar architecture using a quantitative approach and possibly validating the developed guide using a quantitative approach.
Systematic review meta-analysis protocol preparation and registration – A narrative review
Authors: Maurya Indubala , Garg Rakesh
Published: January 2025

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRMAs) help in decision making, especially on conflicting publication findings and quality. SRMA identifies the source of heterogeneity, reduces subjectivity and identifies and fills gaps in existing knowledge. However, conducting an SRMA requires a well-written protocol, which acts as a clear roadmap for the researcher and defines objectives, methods and expected outcomes. Predefined research questions and methods minimise bias, thus increasing the reliability of the results. The protocol ensures that the study team stays consistent in data collection, synthesis and interpretation. The SRMA protocol includes rationale, hypothesis, aims and methodology. A detailed protocol improves the overall quality of the research. All SRMA protocols must be registered and made available publicly. Protocol registration ensures transparency in the research process, which avoids the wastage of resources and prevents duplication. A well-planned protocol facilitates faster peer review and enhances the chances for publication. This narrative review primarily focuses on SRMA protocol preparation and its registration.
Predictive value of bedside diaphragmatic ultrasonography for extubation success in critically ill patients after general anaesthesia: A meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis (TSA)
Authors: Ma Lan , Zhou Na , Yuan Kaiming , Xue Zihao , Lv Kai , Huang Jingying
Published: January 2025

Background and Aims:

Accurate prediction of extubation success is crucial in critical care to avoid complications from premature or prolonged mechanical ventilation. Bedside diaphragmatic ultrasonography has emerged as a promising tool for assessing extubation readiness, but its effectiveness requires further validation. This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of this method and uses trial sequential analysis (TSA) to assess evidence reliability and identify the need for further research.

Methods:

A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, Ovid, ISI Web of Science, and the Wanfang Database from 2014 to 2023. The included studies assessed diaphragmatic ultrasonography for predicting extubation success. Successful extubation is defined as maintaining spontaneous breathing for at least 48 hours post-extubation. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed using a random-effects model. Quality was assessed via the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS), and publication bias was evaluated through funnel plots and Egger’s test. Cumulative meta-analysis, sub-group analyses, and TSA were used to explore heterogeneity and assess evidence reliability.

Results:

Fourteen studies were included, demonstrating high quality. Diaphragm excursion (DE) and diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) were significant predictors of extubation success. The diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) was 4.80 [95% confidence interval (CI): 3.86, 5.97)], with a sensitivity of 81.48% and a specificity of 86.86%. Significant heterogeneity was observed (I
2 =85%, χ2 =87.19, P < 0.00001). TSA indicated that the cumulative evidence was insufficient.

Conclusions:

Diaphragmatic ultrasound, particularly DE and DTF, is useful for predicting extubation success, but current evidence is inconclusive. Further research is required to confirm these findings.

Authors: Olorunfemi Olaolorunpo , Oyinloye Mariam Ayobami , Peace Temitayo Olufunke , Abosede Adekunle Olufunmilola , Oluwaseun Owoyomi Deborah , Funmilola Odigie Margaret
Published: January 2025

INTRODUCTION:

The “Japa Syndrome” describes the increasing trend of Nigerian nurses emigrating for better opportunities abroad, exacerbating the challenges faced by the Nigerian healthcare system. This exodus, driven by poor working conditions, inadequate pay, and limited career prospects, has led to critical shortages in the nursing workforce and a decline in healthcare quality. Addressing these issues demands a thorough review of strategies to enhance nurse retention and stabilize the healthcare workforce in Nigeria. Therefore, this narrative review aims to synthesize existing literature on the factors contributing to “Japa Syndrome” among Nigerian nurses and to identify effective strategies to mitigate this trend.

METHODS:

A systematic search of peer-reviewed journals, government reports, and relevant literature published between 2018 and 2024 was conducted, focusing on nurse migration, workforce retention, and healthcare policy in Nigeria. Studies were selected for their relevance to the themes of “Japa Syndrome,” nurse retention strategies, and the sustainability of the healthcare workforce. The selected articles were analyzed to extract key themes, challenges, and proposed solutions for retaining nurses.

RESULTS:

The review revealed that the primary factors driving nurse migration include suboptimal working conditions, low wages, limited opportunities for career advancement, and insufficient institutional support. Retention strategies identified in the literature highlight the need for improved working environments, competitive remuneration, job security, and continuous professional development. Moreover, fostering a supportive workplace culture has been shown to reduce nurses’ intentions to migrate.

CONCLUSION:

The literature suggests that addressing “Japa Syndrome” requires a comprehensive and proactive approach by healthcare institutions, policymakers, and stakeholders. Strategies focusing on better working conditions, improved compensation, and enhanced career development are essential for retaining Nigerian nurses. These interventions are critical to ensuring a stable and sustainable healthcare workforce in Nigeria, essential for the future of the country’s healthcare system.

Cissus quadrangularis: A comprehensive review as an emerging biomaterial for periodontal regeneration
Authors: Farjana H Nilofer , Valiathan G. Mohan
Published: January 2025

Cissus quadrangularis (CQ) is known for its use as a folk medicine for pharmacological properties such as antimicrobial, antiulcer, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antihemorrhagic, antiallergic, antidiabetic, and antioxidant properties. It is known for its significant role in fracture healing and bone regeneration. To date, it is safe without any adverse effects when used within normal limits. It contains phytoconstituents such as carbohydrates, phytosterols, flavonoids, triterpenoids, glycosides, tannins, saponins, proteins, Vitamin C, alkaloids, and calcium. The alveolar bone is the tooth-supporting apparatus comprising the alveolar bone proper, cortical bone, crestal alveolar bone, and trabecular bone. Periodontal disease is a polymicrobial host immune-mediated inflammatory disease that destroys supporting structures of the teeth. Periodontal regeneration regenerates the lost periodontal structures. It can be using bone grafts. Periodontal tissue engineering is surging in regenerative medicine. It is a triad that includes cells, scaffolds, and growth factors that help to form newly aligned functional periodontal structures. Plant medicine is an alternative medicine that overcomes the side effects of modern medicine. Plant extracts can be used as bioactive scaffolds for regeneration. CQ can differentiate human-derived mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblast and regenerate bone. This review elaborates on the use of CQ as a bioactive compound for periodontal regeneration.

Authors: Negi Brijesh Kumar , Prasad R. Guru , Nagpal Pooja , Gurung Deepak
Published: January 2025

Background:

Sex determination is challenging with minimal skeletal remains. It is overcome by odontometric measurement of mandibular canines as it exhibits higher sexual dimorphism in the human dentition. Hence, the study aimed to assess and validate mandibular canine in gender determination using odontometric measurements in two ethnically diverse populations.

Methods:

A total of 205 subjects, belonging to two ethnically diverse population, i.e., Indian (Himachali) and Nepali, aged 17–25 years was included. Intraoral measurement outcome comprised both-sided lower mandibular canine distance including intercanine distance using Vernier caliper, followed by similar measurements on study models (casts). Garns and Lens formula was utilized to assess the sexual dimorphism.

Results:

The canine distance of both sides in Nepali males was higher than Indian males, both intraoral and casts. The intercanine distance in Indian males was higher than Nepali males, both intraoral and casts. The canine and intercanine distance of both sides was greater in Indian females than Nepali females, both intraoral and casts. Indian population in the left-sided lower canine had higher sexual dimorphism than the right-sided lower canine both intraorally and casts in contrast to Nepali population that exhibited higher in the right-sided canine.

Conclusion:

Therefore, mandibular canine measurements were an adjunct and reliable method for gender identification in human.

Evaluation of the C-reactive protein serum levels in periodontitis patients with or without atherosclerosis – A clinical study
Authors: Khatri Pooja , Thakare Kaustubh S , Ganvir Minal Narendra , Khatri Mitesh
Published: January 2025

Background:

Periodontitis is a bacterial infection that can originate in the gums and progress to damage the bone and other structures supporting the teeth. One indicator of systemic inflammation caused by various triggers such as injuries, infections, and hypoxia is the highly potent C-reactive protein (CRP). Atherosclerosis is a progressive arterial disease that is characterized by the thickening of subintimal layers in muscular and elastic arteries of intermediate-to-large size due to the accumulation of athermanous plaque. Therefore, our objective in this research is to evaluate CRP levels in individuals with periodontitis, with or without atherosclerosis, after diagnosis. It is important to determine if there is a correlation between periodontitis, a common inflammatory condition of the gums, and elevated CRP levels, which could potentially contribute to the development of atherosclerosis.

Methodology:

The Department of Periodontics and Implantology at Bhabha College of Dental Sciences conducted the study, which involved the random assignment of 60 participants of both sexes, aged between 30 and 60 years, using a cross-sectional design. The participants were selected from the Department of Periodontics and Implantology, and venous blood samples were taken before and after nonsurgical periodontal treatment to evaluate serum CRP and complete blood count levels.

Results:

Higher blood CRP levels were seen in individuals with chronic periodontitis, regardless of the presence or absence of atherosclerosis. When comparing the groups of people with and without atherosclerosis and chronic periodontitis, the rise in blood CRP levels was almost double in the group with atherosclerosis. To prevent the progression of atherosclerotic lesions, chronic periodontitis must be treated aggressively.

Conclusion:

Chronic periodontitis, with or without atherosclerosis, leads to high CRP levels in the blood. Those with both conditions have almost twice the CRP levels compared to those without atherosclerosis. Proper treatment is necessary due to chronic periodontitis’ association with atherosclerotic lesions.
Symplectic reduction and Lagrangian submanifolds of $\operatorname{Gr}(1, n)$
Authors: Tyurin Nikolai Andreevich
Published: January 2025

New examples of Lagrangian submanifolds of the complex Grassmannian $\operatorname{Gr}(1, n)$ with the standard Kähler form are presented. The scheme of their construction is based on two facts: first, we put forward a natural correspondence between the Lagrangian submanifolds of a symplectic manifold obtained by symplectic reduction and the Lagrangian submanifolds of a large symplectic manifold carrying a Hamiltonian action of some group, to which this reduction is applied; second, we show that for some choice of generators of the action of $\mathrm T^k$ on $\operatorname{Gr}(1, n)$, $k=2, …, n-1$, and for suitable values of the moment map there exists an isomorphism $\operatorname{Gr}(1, n)//\mathrm T^k \cong \operatorname{tot}(\mathbb{P}(\tau) \times …\times\mathbb{P}(\tau) \to \operatorname{Gr}(1, n-k))$, where the total space of the Cartesian product of $k$ copies of the projectivization of the tautological bundle $\tau \to \operatorname{Gr}(1, n-k)$ is on the right. Combining these two facts we obtain a lower bound for the number of topologically distinct smooth Lagrangian submanifolds in the original Grassmannian $operatorname{Gr}(1, n)$.

Authors: Vasil'ev Danil Anatol'evich , Tikhomirov Alexander Sergeevich
Published: January 2025

The moduli spaces of semistable coherent sheaves of rank $2$ on the projective space $\mathbb{P}^3$ and the following rational Fano manifolds of the main series are investigated: the three-dimensional quadric $X_2$, the intersection of two four-dimensional quadrics $X_4$ and the Fano manifold of degree five $X_5$. For the quadric $X_2$ the boundedness of the third Chern class $c_3$ of rank $2$ semistable objects in $\mathrm{D}^b(X_2)$, including sheaves, is proved. An explicit description is presented for all moduli spaces of semistable sheaves of rank $2$ on $X_2$, including reflexive ones, with the maximal third class $c_3\ge0$. These spaces turn out to be irreducible smooth rational manifolds in all cases, apart from the following two: $(c_1,c_2,c_3)=(0,2,2)$ or (0,4,8). The first example of a disconnected module space of semistable rank $2$ sheaves with fixed Chern classes on a smooth projective variety is found: this is the second exceptional case $(c_1,c_2,c_3)= (0,4,8)$ on the quadric $X_2$. Several new infinite series of rational components of the moduli spaces of semistable sheaves of rank $2$ on $\mathbb{P}^3$, $X_2$, $X_4$ and $X_5$ are constructed, as also is a new infinite series of irrational components on $X_4$. The boundedness of the class $c_3$ is proved for $c_1=0$ and any $c_2>0$ for stable reflexive sheaves of general type on the varieties $X_4$ and $X_5$.

Malware detection and classification are important requirements for information security because malware poses a great threat to computer users. As the growth of technology increases, malware is getting more sophisticated and thereby more difficult to detect. Machine learning techniques have been extensively used for malware detection and classification. However, most of them are binomial classifications that only detect the presence of malware but do not classify them into types.  This study sets out to develop a multinomial malware classifier using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and investigate the effectiveness of ANFIS in the classification. A first-order Sugeno ANFIS model was developed. It has five layers and uses two if-then rules. The ANFIS model was trained and tested with two prominent malware datasets from the Canada Institute of Cyber Security. The experimental results showed that the performance of the ANFIS model degrades as the size of the datasets increases, and the accuracy, precision, recall, and root mean square error is 94%, 0.88, 0.87, and 0.19 respectively.

Introdução: Os distúrbios osteomusculares relacionados ao trabalho (DORT) são condições multifatoriais que afetam o sistema musculoesquelético, resultando em disfunções e limitações físicas. Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência de DORT em funcionários de uma instituição de ensino no Sul do Brasil. Métodos: Foram aplicados cinco questionários autoadministrados, abordando características sociodemográficas, distúrbios musculoesqueléticos, nível de atividade física (NAF), qualidade de vida (QV) e qualidade de vida no trabalho (QVT). Resultados: Participaram do estudo 103 funcionários, sendo 35,9% do sexo masculino e 64,1% do sexo feminino. A prevalência de DORT foi mais alta nas regiões lombar (73,8%) e cervical (69,8%), com a intensidade dos sintomas sendo mais frequente na região lombar (média de 3,9). Quanto à QV, observou-se um escore baixo no domínio vitalidade (59,13 ± 20,37), enquanto os domínios capacidade funcional (83,35 ± 19,57) e limitação por aspectos físicos (82,52 ± 29,04) apresentaram escores elevados. No que diz respeito à QVT, o domínio pessoal obteve a maior média (4,25 ± 0,56), enquanto o domínio Físico/Saúde apresentou a menor média (3,32 ± 0,40). Em relação ao NAF, 35,9% dos participantes foram classificados como ativos, enquanto 6,8% foram classificados como sedentários. Conclusões: A prevalência de DORT foi observada nas regiões lombar e cervical. Apesar da QV ser considerada satisfatória, o domínio da vitalidade apresentou escores comprometidos. Embora a maioria dos participantes seja classificada como ativa, é importante promover ações que incentivem a prática de atividade física para a prevenção dos distúrbios osteomusculares e para a melhoria da QVT.

Rice is one of the primary staple foods globally, contributing significantly to the sustenance of millions. However, rice production faces substantial challenges due to various diseases that afflict the crop, leading to yield losses and economic repercussions. Effective farming strategies depend on the early detection and precise identification of these disorders. The nine most significant diseases that affect rice plants such as rice yellow mottle virus, rice blast, brown spot, sheath blight, sheath rot, leaf scald, false smut, kernel smut and grain rot are examined in this survey. Machine learning and deep
learning algorithms have been favored for identifying certain disorders, and they have been compared using various factors.
A qualitative analysis of students' perceptions of the concept of academic performance
Authors: PREDA Crenguța Elena
Published: January 2025

Academic performance is a topic of interest for students, universities, and all educational systems, for educational policies, teachers, or managers, representing the extent to which a student, a teacher, or an institution has achieved its short or long-term educational goals. Students' perspective on their academic success and achievement is a key component of their professional and personal future. In the present study, we aimed to gather students' perceptions of the concept of performance to provide a comprehensive picture of their academic experience. The study involved 57 people, 31 women (54.4%) and 26 men (45.6%), aged between 18 and 29 years (M=21.93; SD=2.43), students in different study programs, bachelor's or master's, at a Romanian university. Given the objective of the study, the research method selected is the grounded theory method. The study was conducted in two stages: the first stage consisted of a qualitative focus-group approach and the second stage consisted of a face-to-face interview with each participant. The results of the interviews allowed the identification of major interlinked themes of interest. The obtained results are discussed based on the specialized literature.
Wellbeing and eating behavior
Authors: BALAN Rodica
Published: January 2025

Well-being and eating behavior are intricately interconnected. A balanced and healthy diet can improve well-being by providing essential nutrients for physical and mental health. On the other hand, pathological eating behaviors can negatively affect well-being. In many individuals, eating behavior also has a strong emotional dimension, with eating being used as a coping mechanism rather than a source of nutrition and energy. Finally, healthy eating behavior can contribute to improved well being, while positive well-being can facilitate healthier food choices.
The study on motivation involvement and emotional regulation in the process of academic performance
Authors: RACU Igor , DRANGA (MORARU) Anca
Published: January 2025

The present research explores the influence of motivational involvement and emotional regulation on academic performance. Using an empirical approach, it was investigated whether intrinsic motivation is associated with high academic performance and whether high academic performance is correlated with an increased level of recalculation – as a dimension of emotional regulation. We started from the hypothesis according to which intrinsic motivation will determine a more authentic and stable anchoring in the study; a second assumption was that a high level of emotional regulation will allow the student to cope with stressful periods during studies, obtaining a higher academic performance. The results of the analysis indicate that students with higher intrinsic motivation did indeed perform better academically (p = 0.0001, p < 0.01), thus supporting the initial hypothesis. Moreover, it was found that a higher academic performance is associated (p =0.000, p < 0.01) with an increased level of emotional regulation (significantly higher scores for recalculation and significantly lower scores for suppression), also confirming that of second hypothesis. These findings emphasize the importance of intrinsic motivation and emotional regulation in the academic context and its relevance to the overall well-being of students. The implications of these results are discussed in the research.

The creation of a psychological and pedagogical environment is an important aspect of a teacher’s activity. Psychological safety is closely related to the conditions for the development of children’s personality. The competence of a teacher should include the ability to create and maintain conditions for the psychological safety of the children. Communication and personality traits of the teacher are factors ensuring the psychological safety of the educational environment.The components of the psychological safety of the educational environment are the humanistic orientation of the school, the psychological climate, the socio-psychological structure of the teaching staff, and the psychological organization of the conditions for the transfer of knowledge.
