Introduction and objective:Precocious puberty (PP) is a condition marked by the premature onset of puberty in children, which can lead to a range of physical, metabolic, and psychological challenges. This review seeks to assess the health implications of precocious puberty and evaluate the treatment options available, with particular emphasis on GnRH analog therapy and the psychological support required for both affected children and their families.
Review methods:A comprehensive review of studies related to precocious puberty was conducted, focusing on its physical, metabolic, and psychological effects. Research was analyzed on how PP impacts growth, obesity risk, insulin resistance, cardiovascular diseases, and emotional and social challenges in affected children.
Results:The findings suggest that precocious puberty leads to reduced final height, an increased risk of obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, girls with precocious puberty are at higher risk for developing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), mood disorders, body image issues, and social challenges. GnRH analog therapy has been shown to improve growth outcomes, though the effectiveness of treatment varies depending on the age of initiation and the progression of puberty.
 Conclusion:Precocious puberty is associated with a range of serious health consequences that require a comprehensive treatment approach. Successful management should not only address the medical aspects but also incorporate psychological support and emotional monitoring to improve the overall well-being and quality of life. Early intervention and parental education are essential for improving outcomes, and further research is needed to refine treatment strategies and better understand the long-term effects of this condition.

Authors: Abdullah Abdulaziz Almunahi
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the influence of personality traits and cyberchondria on the quality of life (QoL) among Saudi Arabian university students while also developing a reliable and culturally appropriate QoL scale. Using a cross-sectional design, 376 students completed self-report measures assessing personality traits, cyberchondria, and QoL, aiming to identify dominant traits, dimensions of cyberchondria, and their predictive relationships with QoL. The findings revealed that openness, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and extraversion were the most prevalent personality traits, whereas neuroticism was the least. Among the dimensions of cyberchondria, the cognitive aspect was most prominent, followed by emotional and behavioural aspects. Regarding QoL, the health domain scored highest (4.12 ± 0.76), followed by social (3.96 ± 0.82) and psychological (3.88 ± 0.91) domains. Regression analysis identified agreeableness (β = 0.45, p < 0.01) and behavioural aspects of cyberchondria (β = -0.34, p < 0.01) as significant predictors of QoL. The newly developed 43- item QoL scale demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.89), confirming its reliability. The study highlights that fostering agreeableness and reducing cyberchondria could improve students' well-being, contributing to the existing literature on QoL determinants and offering a valuable tool for further research
Síndrome cardiorrenal: fisiopatologia e diagnóstico em cães e gatos

Published: January 2025

Cardiorenal syndrome, also known in veterinary medicine as cardiovascular-renal axis disorder, is a pathophysiological condition that involves the combination of cardiac and renal dysfunction, which accelerates the progression of individual organ failure and leads to a significant increase in morbidity and mortality in patients with this disease. Both organs regulate vital functions such as blood pressure, diuresis, natriuresis, peripheral vascular resistance, circulating volume homeostasis, peripheral perfusion, and tissue oxygenation. The classification of cardiorenal syndrome in humans and animals is conceptually similar, encompassing primary involvement, the sequence of events, and the chronicity of the process. In humans, it is classified into five types. In veterinary medicine, cardiovascular-renal axis disorders are divided into three groups based on their system of origin: heart, kidney or systemic. Additionally, there are two subdivisions reflecting the respective clinical course: unstable or stable. Diagnosis can be made through renal and cardiac biomarkers and imaging tests. However, there is a need to identify tests capable of detecting early alterations caused by the syndrome. This study aims to conduct a literature review on cardiorenal syndrome, addressing what has been described in scientific studies to elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostic methods, and classification methodologies of this condition.

Еліпсис як засіб економії вислову в мові творів Романа Іваничука
Authors: Богатько Валентина
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to the study of elliptical structures, which serve as one of the means of expressive syntax. Elliptical sentences are relatively incomplete from a structural-syntactic perspective yet semantically complete. This duality reveals their unique nature and distinctiveness. The structural organization of elliptical constructions prioritizes the author’s aim to closely replicate natural dialogue between characters, thereby authentically and vividly conveying the nuances of communication. This approach seeks to capture the spirit of natural speech. A key factor in the frequent use of elliptical sentences is the linguistic tendency toward economizing language resources and creating compressed expressions. Elliptical sentences, whose incompleteness manifests only at the structural level, do not require the specification of an omitted component for semantic clarity. It has been established that substituting incomplete sentences with grammatically complete ones results in information overload and a slower speech tempo. The study examines the novels «The Crane’s Cry» and «Janissaries» by Roman Ivanychuk, works of historical prose that offer an opportunity to trace the evolution of the author's style. The research highlights the functional manifestations of elliptical sentences in the author's linguistic creativity, emphasizing their importance for further study, thereby underscoring the relevance of the research. It has been proven that the most common types of elliptical structures in the author’s historical prose are sentences with an unexpressed predicate. Observations reveal that elliptical constructions most often feature an unfilled position for existential verbs. In such sentences, the implicit verbal semantics require one or more specifying words, unlike verbs with absolute semantics, which are expressed by monovalent verbs without additional modifiers. These sentences are characterized by their elevated tone, dynamizing natural speech and reflecting its authenticity. The omission of the subject in the author’s historical texts is much less frequent than that of the predicate. The subject is typically omitted when it is contextually clear from the relationship between the elliptical sentence and an adjacent, usually complete, sentence. Such sentences have less varied semantics but remain expressive, emotional, and fulfill specific stylistic functions. A separate group of elliptical sentences includes interrogative constructions with an unfilled predicate position of varying semantics. From a stylistic perspective, questions in the analyzed texts are significant not only as material for constructing the narrative but also as a means of emphasizing the idea and focusing the reader’s attention on key moments. The article identifies the functional significance of the analyzed constructions in terms of their artistic expression of the author’s ideas.
Social Media Podcasts on Honor Killing: Analysing Language Patterns in Gender-Based Violence Discourse
Authors: Naeem Noor , Razaq Muhammad Umar
Published: January 2025

In this paper, Junaid Akram’s YouTube podcast episode “Challenges Faced By Women In Our Society,” aired on April 27, 2024, is discussed to understand the show’s discourse on honor-based violence (honor killings) in Pakistan. Using both thematic and discourse analytical approaches, the actual study discusses honor killings with references to Akram’s Podcast and explores different sociocultural factors that contribute to such violence as well as the function of new media in constructing public understanding of the phenomenon. Subsequently, the findings show that Akram opposes honor killings, tries to break the process of constructing patriarchal norms, and underscores education and critical thinking. As a strength of social media, the study shows that social media can only go the extra mile of alerting society but cannot fully change strong cultural beliefs that are deeply rooted in society.

Authors:   Department of Facilities Management, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, Chandani G.G.N. , Yatawatta Y.J.M.
Published: January 2025

Enhancing the guest experience in Sri Lanka’s luxury hotels requires a focus on sustainable strategies to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) which is essential for guest health and comfort. The tropical climates like in Sri Lanka presents unique challenges, such as high humidity, which can lead to mold growth and pollutant accumulation. Poor IAQ can result in discomfort and health issues for guests, undermining the reputation of luxury hotels. This paper explores sustainable solutions to enhance IAQ, such as including upgrading ventilation systems, regular maintenance of HVAC units, and the use of eco-friendly building materials and cleaning products. By focusing on long-term improvements rather than short-term fixes, hotels can provide a healthier environment. Key strategies include incorporating advanced filtration systems to reduce VOCs and particulate matter, leveraging natural ventilation, and managing humidity to prevent mold. The use of indoor plants and responsible pest control are also explored as additional measures. This study provides original insights into how sustainable IAQ practices can enhance guest satisfaction while aligning with global sustainability trends. The research uses a qualitative approach, with case studies of luxury hotels in Sri Lanka. Through expert interviews the study assesses current IAQ practices and their impact on guest experiences. This research contributes to the field by offering valuable insights into the integration of IAQ improvement strategies into sustainable hotel practices, positioning Sri Lanka’s luxury hotels as leaders in promoting a healthier, more sustainable guest experience.

Published: January 2025

In the modern Sri Lanka context, despite frequent awareness programs and increased access to information, an inherent stigma associated with mental health disorders and treatment methods prevail. The Architectural characteristics and elements of existing mental health facilities have been found to amplify these negative perceptions hindering patients' access to effective mental health care. Within this backdrop, this study looks into the Architectural parameters that contribute to the stigmatization of mental health facilities, adopting a mixed-methods approach taking the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in Mulleriyawa as a case study. Participants’ perceptions (n=36) on seven selected spaces [; admin building facade, old ward facade, specialized departments, new ward exterior, old ward interior, entrance lobby and main corridor] within the facility were gathered through an author designed online questionnaire survey, while their corresponding levels of well-being and depression, stress, and anxiety levels were evaluated using SACRA-15 Building Well-Being Scale and the DASS-21 scale respectively. A majority of the participants reported severe levels of depression, anxiety, and stress across all the spaces studied, with the highest percentage of participants relating to ‘old ward interior” [86%,72%,75] followed by new ward exterior [97%,55%,61%]. Consistent with this finding, the majority of participants demonstrated low levels of wellbeing scores across the spaces tested, out of which ‘old ward interior’ and the ‘new ward exteriors’ were significant with highest percentages of participants with low levels of wellbeing [81% and 70%]. The main corridor of the facility was the only space showing a moderate level of well-being due to significant attributes of natural light, ventilation, nature connectedness and spaciousness. The participants identified the Architectural quality of NIMH as “‘prison-like’, ‘unwelcoming’, ‘scary’ and ‘gloomy’, contributing to an oppressive atmosphere which reinforced stigma. Restricted visual and physical access, lack of visual connections, limited access to green spaces, inadequate natural lighting and color, unbalanced solid-to-void ratios and underutilization of vistas were found to contribute towards the existing and monotonous ambience with sense of containment, leading to the stigmatization of this mental health establishment. Based on these findings, the study recommends incorporating courtyards and green spaces, improving the use of color, removing visible demarcations while maintaining functional and psychological boundaries, and optimizing material choices and spatial volumes as supportive Architectural interventions to help de-stigmatize mental health treatment centers.

L’eccesso di libertà, senso del limite e dipendenze
Authors: DURANO FEDERICA
Published: January 2025

In questo lavoro l’autrice si propone di analizzare i meccanismi mentali, emotivi e neuropsicologici che sottostanno alla modalità onnipotente di ignorare il senso del limite. L’autrice sostiene che l’eccesso di libertà fittizia alimentata dalla tecnologia e da alcuni messaggi pubblicitari comporti il rischio di limitare le capacità decisionali a medio e lungo termine. L’eccessiva possibilità di scelta, di fatto, riduce la capacità di scegliere in modo vantaggioso attraverso meccanismi volti a massimizzare il tutto e subito; tutto ciò vanifica la capacità di ritardare la soddisfazione del bisogno che, in quanto indotto e non autentico, non risponde in modo adeguato alle reali esigenze del soggetto. Questa eccessiva possibilità di scelta tende a sostenere una forma di dipendenza dalla libertà stessa cui si fatica sempre più a rinunciare in virtù di un benessere comune.
Multimodal construction of fear in a TV series – American Horror Story: Cult – Verbal and visual mode
Authors: Drosdowska Weronika
Published: January 2025

Conceptual Metaphor Theory assumes that metaphors go beyond language and shape our conceptual systems. Conceptual metaphors have been researched multimodally and found in the verbal, visual, gestural, and other modes. Lately, metaphors have been studied in multimodal sources of data, e.g. movies. This article examines how the emotion of fear is constructed in multimodal discourse looking at American Horror Story: Cult – a television series representing the genre of horror. The point of departure is Zoltán Kövecses’ (1990, 2004) description of linguistic metaphors an metonymies of emotions. This paper aims to answer the question whether his findings are applicable to both the verbal and visual modes. Specifically, I looked at which fear metaphors and metonymies are present in both modes, and which are mode-specific. For the analysis of linguistic data the Metaphor Identification Procedure designed by the Pragglejaz Group (2007) has been employed, as well as keywords derived from Kövecses’ list of metaphors. To analyze the moving image, the analytic tools developed for cinematic language by Edgar-Hunt, Marland and Rawle (2010) were used. The study has shown that Kövecses’ core list of fear metaphors is applicable both to the verbal and the visual mode. New metaphors were also identified. Additionally, it was shown that the visual mode allows for more specificity, while the verbal mode allows for unconventional conceptualization in relation to particular discourse, here, political discourse.
Identification of emotions by prosody and semantics in French spontaneous speech: A pilot study
Authors: Carbone Francesca
Published: January 2025

When we talk about emotions, we refer to a complex and structured phenomenon that can influence and be influenced by external and internal elements involved in communication such as context, behavior and feelings of other individuals. During the expression of emotions, these internal and external factors can have effects on both verbal and non-verbal cues which can change according to the context and the intentions of the speakers. This complexity of the emotional phenomenon has induced researchers to focus the attention on individual cues (e.g., intonation, verbal content) in isolation from the others. Although it is possible that the transmission of emotional information is entrusted to a single type of cues, this is certainly the least frequent case in the spontaneous production of emotional speech, in which, usually, the emotional phonological information co-occurs with the other segmental features (e.g. syllables, words). Consequently, studies on individual emotional cues have not increased our understanding of how people integrate nonverbal and verbal cues in the expression of emotions. The aim of this study is to face this topic by assessing the contribution of prosodic parameters (i.e., fundamental frequency, intensity, speech rate) versus verbal content to the decoding of emotions by a perception test in which spontaneous speech is manipulated through the application of filters, validated in previous research. French listeners are asked to identify sentences that were annotated and selected from a French spontaneous corpus (EmoTV). Stimuli are presented in three versions: integral (non-manipulated), verbal (the prosodic information is hidden by applying filters) and nonverbal (the verbal content is filtered and masked). Results display a higher accuracy for integral stimuli suggesting that emotions are decoded by the interaction of the two different channels. This confirms the adequacy of a cognitive model in which verbal and nonverbal cues to emotions are theoretically integrated.
Singular and plural preferences among adjectival collocates of CAT and DOG
Authors: Newman John
Published: January 2025

The singular vs. plural distinction in English count nouns is not usually considered as being of any real consequence to the choice of adjectives accompanying these nouns. This study questions this assumption and explores the pre-nominal adjectives occurring with cat/cats and dog/dogs with a view to identifying the main patterns of co-occurrence with singular forms vs. plural forms. Attributive adjectives occurring before cat(s) and dog(s) were investigated, relying on a corpus of contemporary American fiction. Applying Distinctive Collexeme Analysis to the corpus results, it was found that coherent groups of adjectives occurred preferentially with the singular or plural of both words. Colour adjectives and evaluative adjectives like good, for example, occurred preferentially with the singular forms, while adjectives such as stray, wild, and feral occurred preferentially with plural forms. The usage differences observed in the data can be motivated by reference to a folk model of the world in which animals take their place as house pets, wild animals, or somewhere in between.
Prototype effects behind French loans in Middle English
Authors: Mevis Alice
Published: January 2025

It is a well-established fact that the Norman Conquest profoundly transformed the English society and had a significant impact on the course of evolution of its language. As a result of the peculiar situation of English, French and Latin trilingualism in medieval England, Middle English displayed a reorientation of its strategies for word creation, by increasingly relying on lexical borrowing. The presence of Romance-derived loanwords thus introduced some degree of onomasiological variation into the language, so that the coexistence of native and foreign lexical resources would eventually become a recurring feature of Middle English. Within this well-researched area, the prototype aim of this paper is to explore the contribution of Cognitive Semantics, and more specifically of prototype theory, to French lexical borrowing, and to investigate the many ways in which may help account for the integration of loanwords into the English lexicon – or conversely, for the retention of native vocabulary. First of all, the substitution of cultural models made for rather swift changes into the lexicon, as loanwords were introduced to better reflect the new cultural prototypes. Prototypicality can also work both within lexical categories at the prototypicality intensional level, as a differentiating factor between near-synonyms, and across categories at the extensional level, in the restructuration of category members around an onomasiologically salient concept. The objective of this paper is thus to show how prototypicality comes into play at various levels in processes of semantic change, and how prototype theory can therefore be deemed a relevant framework for the analysis of loanwords.

Artykuł proponuje interpretację powiastki Stefana Themersona Przygody Pędrka Wyrzutka za pomocą metafory pojęciowej życie jest podróżą oraz jej uszczegółowionej wersji rozwój poznawczy człowieka jest podróżą. Podjęto próbę ustalenia, w jakim zakresie kognitywne podejście do języka pozwala wnioskować, iż Themerson budował swój przekaz na temat poszukiwania tożsamości człowieka za pomocą przenośni językowych, które rozumiemy i interpretujemy dzięki znajomości systematycznych metafor pojęciowych. W artykule bada się także możliwości wyjaśnienia związków między konstrukcjami scen w poszczególnych rozdziałach książki oraz postaci w nich występujących (wchodzących w interakcję z głównym bohaterem), a etapami rozwoju człowieka, nabywania wiedzy o życiu i o samym sobie. Nasze (roz)poznanie rzeczywistości strukturyzują zatem schematy wyobrażeniowe oraz, na bardziej szczegółowym poziomie konceptualizacji, metafory pojęciowe, dzięki którym nie tylko wyrażamy, ale także kształtujemy interakcje z drugim człowiekiem.
THE SYNERGIC ELECTROWEAK SYNCHROTRON RADIATION
Authors:   Department of Physical Electronics, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic, Pardy Miroslav
Published: January 2025

The power spectral formula is derived for radiation of neutral electroweak bosons from an electron in a weak external homogeneous electromagnetic field. The calculation method is based on the source theory formulation of quantum field theory introduced by Schwinger. For ultra-relativistic electrons, it is derived that the Z0 emission rate is suppressed relative to photon emission. This implies that the decay of electron into W-boson and neutrino is also exponentially small under similar conditions. The article is written in the form of mathematical simplicity and the Schwinger pedagogical clarity.

Rural development has a very important and strategic role in the framework of national development and regional development, because it contains elements of equitable development and the results can directly affect the interests of the majority of people living in rural areas in relation to welfare improvement activities. However, because UMKMs in Puncu District have local economic potential that has not been optimally handled, an institution is needed that can partner UMKMs as partners to develop the local economy and a suitable institution to become a partner for the community's economic progress is BUMDesa. So that BUMDesa has a very strategic role in driving the community's economy as well as being a pillar of democracy in the countryside, because BUMDesa requires harmonious synergy between the Village Government as the owner of capital and the community as the manager.
The type of research used is qualitative research with a descriptive approach and case study method. Using data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, documentation, and literature study. The results of the study show that 1. Each BUMDesa has a different role for UMKMs. 2. Not all UMKMs have an R/C ratio of 1.3 and BUMDes have competitiveness from the connection aspect. 3. Both BUMDesa and UMKM have implemented a cluster system from the location and marketing aspects. 4. Institutions are well formed and run well too. 5. Human resources in BUMDesa in each village have not been fulfilled and all matters are still being handled by operational implementers. And not all UMKMs have qualified human resources. 6. Almost all UMKM and BUMDesa in Gadungan Village, Sidomulyo Village, and Puncu Village definitely use modern technology, namely when marketing their products.

Jagung merupakan kebutuhan pokok kedua setelah beras. Biosaka adalah bahan dari larutan tumbuhan atau rerumputan yang diketahui mampu melindungi tanaman dari serangan hama dan penyakit dan mampu menekan penggunaan pupuk mencapai 50-90 persen. Biosaka bukan merupakan pupuk dan bukan pula sebagai pestisida, tetapi berperan sebagai elisitor bagi tanaman untuk tumbuh dan berproduksi lebih bagus karena mengandung hormon, spora dan bakteri yang tinggi. Biosaka dibuat dari segenggam bahan minimal 5 jenis rumput/daun yang sehat sempurna dicampur dengan 5 lt air dalam wadah, diremas dengan tangan kurang lebih 30 menit tanpa berhenti dan tidak boleh berganti orang hingga ramuan homogen. Tujuan dilakukan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui Strategi Pengembangan Tanaman Jagung (Zea Mays) berbasis Aplikasi Biosaka di Kabupaten Ngawi. Penelitian ini mengidentifikasi faktor internal dan eksternal, merumusan alternatif strategi menggunakan SWOT. Hasil analisis internal dan eksternal diperoleh lima kekuatan, lima kelemahan, lima peluang dan lima ancaman. Motivasi dan kesadaran petani dalam menggunakan teknologi baru ramah lingkungan menjadi subfaktor terpenting dari kekuatan; Analisa usaha belum dilakukan sebagai subfaktor terpenting dari kelemahan; permintaan pasar cukup besar sebagai subfaktor terpenting dari peluang; sedangkan adanya gangguan OPT sebagai subfaktor terpenting dari ancaman. Strategi prioritas yang dapat dilakukan dalam pengembangan tanaman jagung berbasis aplikasi biosaka adalah dengan peningkatan kesadaran akan pertanian ramah lingkungan berkelanjutan.

PROBLEMATIKA PELAKSANAAN PROSEDUR PERIZINAN BERUSAHA BAGI PELAKU USAHA
Authors: Spaltani Bita Gadsia , Zuliyah Siti
Published: January 2025

Pada November 2020, Presiden Joko Widodo mengesahkan UU No. 11 tahun 2020 tentang Cipta Kerja atau yang biasa dikenal dengan omnibus law. Pengesahan UUCK tersebut dilatarbelakangi dengan alasan mendorong percepatan berusaha dan tumbuhnya perekonomian Negara Indonesia. Konsep yang diusung dalam perubahan mendasar terkait perizinan yakni peralihan perizinan berusaha berbasis izin (license approach) menjadi berbasis resiko (risk-based licensing). Perizinan berusaha berbasis resiko saat ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan sistem Online Single Submission â€“Risk Based Approach (OSS-RBA), yang merupakan sistem digitalisasi pelayanan publik yang ditujukan untuk diakses para pelaku usaha. Namun yang menjadi permasalahan selanjutnya adalah dalam fakta di lapangan, malah harus direpotkan dengan hal-hal yang sifatnya administratif dimana sosialisasi-sosialisasi peraturan lanjutan belum semaksimal mungkin dilakukan pemerintah di masing-masing instansi yang melakukan pelayanan publik dalam pengurusan izin.  Metode penelitian dalam penulisan ini menggunakan metode pendekatan yang sifatnya normatif yuridis. Hasil pembahasan antara lain: Pertama. Reformasi perizinan berusaha dimaksudkan untuk menumbuhkan gairah berusaha dalam suatu bangsa. Dengan adanya kebijakan perizinan ini, diharapkan pelayanan publik sebagai representasi negara hasilnya dapat ditujukan untuk kesejahteraan publik dalam rangka mencapai welfare state.  Pasca hadirnya UUCK dan keluarnya peraturan lanjutan dalam bentuk PP maupun Perpres terkait dengan perizinan berusaha, maka acuan yang dijadikan tolok ukur dalam mengklasifikasikan jenis usaha adalah dengan berbasis pada resiko.  Kegiatan usaha dapat diklasifikasikan dalam tiga kelompok kegiatan usaha, yakni usaha dengan tingkat resiko rendah, menengah dan tinggi. Kedua. Terkait dengan penertiban KBLI maupun pengurusan NIB, agar selaras dengan tujuan atau maksud awal pemerintah dalam membuat kebijakan perizinan berusaha untuk mempermudah pelaku usaha selayaknya disertai dengan bimbingan teknis maupun sosialisasi lanjutan.
