Authors: Nurmasari Wahyu , Nurmasari Wahyuningsih , Dewayana Triwulandari Satitidjati , Dewayana Faradisa
Published: February 2025

The study explores the impact of Transportation Management Systems and supply chain integration on business performance in Indonesia's automotive industry, emphasizing how strong integration enhances operational efficiency and competitiveness. It aims to provide insights for company management, investors, regulators, and academicians, contributing to a deeper understanding of Supply Chain Management strategies and their effects on business outcomes. This study examines the impact of Transportation Management System (TMS) and supply chain integration (SCI) on business performance, mediated by supply chain performance (SCP), within the Automotive Industry in Indonesia, using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire and validated indicators to ensure reliability and validity. The research found that Transportation Management System (TMS) has a positive and significant impact on business performance (BP), enhancing automotive companies' performance in Indonesia. Conversely, Supply Chain Integration (SCI) negatively affects business performance, suggesting that higher integration can reduce performance. However, when both TMS and SCI are mediated by supply chain performance (SCP), the results improve significantly, indicating that effective management of these variables can enhance company performance through better supply chain outcomes.

Desarrollo, morfología y desórdenes fisiológicos en la flor de café
Authors: Unigarro Carlos Andrés
Published: February 2025

La floración es fundamental en la producción de café (Coffea arabica L.), pues este proceso determina la cantidad de frutos y su distribución en el tiempo. Este seminario tiene como objetivo resumir, contextualizar y actualizar la información disponible sobre el desarrollo y la morfología de la flor del café. En este sentido, el análisis detallado del desarrollo de la flor sienta las bases para comprender cómo los patrones de floración en Colombia son el resultado de una estrecha interacción entre la planta y factores como la insolación, la zona de Convergencia Intertropical y los fenómenos de El Niño y La Niña. Por otra parte, la morfología de la flor es una herramienta útil para evaluar el impacto de la variabilidad ambiental en el crecimiento de las flores, hecho que puede manifestarse con diferentes problemas conocidos como desórdenes fisiológicos. La expresión fenotípica de estos desórdenes abarca desde síntomas no visibles hasta deformaciones y atrofias severas de los órganos o tejidos.
Caracterización de la Colección Colombiana de Café por su resistencia a la enfermedad de las cerezas (CBD)
Authors: Quiroga-Cardona Julio
Published: February 2025

La enfermedad de las cerezas o CBD, por sus siglas en inglés (Coffee Berry Disease), es causada por el hongo Colletotrichum kahawae J.M. Waller P.D. Bridge. Se encuentra restringida al continente africano, donde causa entre el 80% y el 100% de pérdidas económicas en la producción de C. arabica, cuando se establecen variedades susceptibles a la enfermedad, no se efectúa control y las condiciones de clima favorecen el desarrollo del patógeno; aunque esta enfermedad no está presente en América, es un riesgo potencial para su caficultura.En este seminario se abordará cómo Colombia fue pionero en desarrollar la primera variedad mejorada de C. arabica con resistencia genética a CBD en ausencia del patógeno y cómo mediante convenios de cooperación científica con diferentes centros de investigación ha evaluado la Colección Colombiana de Café por su resistencia a CBD. Los resultados obtenidos durante más de 30 años de cooperación con el Centro de Investigação de Ferrugens do Cafeeiro (CIFC) – Portugal, permitieron identificar la resistencia genética de nueve poblaciones de C. arabica a 13 aislamientos de C. kahawae, diversos por agresividad y origen geográfico. Adicionalmente, los resultados permitieron corroborar el potencial del Híbrido de Timor CIFC 1343 (HdT CIFC 1343) como fuente diversa de resistencia a CBD, así como identificar nuevas fuentes de resistencia a la enfermedad no exploradas hasta la fecha en el desarrollo de variedades. Por último, es la segunda vez que se documenta la probable existencia de razas C. kahawae.

A complete understanding of the initial conditions of high-mass star formation and what processes determine multiplicity requires the study of the magnetic field in young massive cores. Using Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) 250 GHz polarization observations (0

3 = 1000 au) and ALMA 220 GHz high-angular-resolution observations (0

.

″

05 = 160 au), we have performed a full energy analysis including the magnetic field at core scales and have assessed what influences the multiplicity inside a massive core previously believed to be in the prestellar phase. With a mass of 31 M
⊙, the G11.92 MM2 core has a young CS molecular outflow with a dynamical timescale of a few thousand years. At high resolution, the MM2 core fragments into a binary system, with a projected separation of 505 au and a binary mass ratio of 1.14. Using the Davis–Chandrasekhar–Fermi method with an angle dispersion function analysis, we estimate in this core a magnetic field strength of 6.2 mG and a mass-to-magnetic-flux ratio of 18. The MM2 core is strongly subvirialized, with a virial parameter of 0.064, including the magnetic field. The high mass-to-magnetic-flux ratio and low virial parameter indicate that this massive core is very likely undergoing runaway collapse, which is in direct contradiction with the core accretion model. The MM2 core is embedded in a filament that has a velocity gradient consistent with infall. In line with clump-fed scenarios, the core can grow in mass at a rate of 1.9–5.6 × 10−4
M
⊙ yr−1. In spite of the magnetic field having only a minor contribution to the total energy budget at core scales (a few thousands of astronomical units), it likely plays a more important role at smaller scales (a few hundreds of astronomical units) by setting the binary properties. Considering energy ratios and a fragmentation criterion at the core scale, the binary system could have been formed by core fragmentation. The binary system properties (projected separation and mass ratio), however, are also consistent with radiation-magnetohydrodynamic simulations with super-Alfvenic or supersonic (or sonic) turbulence that form binaries by disk fragmentation.
Chasing the Beginning of Reionization in the JWST Era

Published: February 2025

Recent JWST observations at z > 6 may imply galactic ionizing photon production above prior expectations. Under observationally motivated assumptions about escape fractions, these suggest a z ~ 8–9 end to reionization, in tension with the z < 6 end required by the Lyα forest. In this work, we use radiative transfer simulations to understand what different observations tell us about when reionization ended and when it started. We consider a model that ends too early (z
end ≈ 8) alongside two more realistic scenarios with z
end ≈ 5: one starting late (z ~ 9) and another early (z ~ 13). We find that the latter requires up to an order-of-magnitude evolution in galaxy ionizing properties at 6 < z < 12, perhaps in tension with measurements of ξ
ion by JWST, which indicate little evolution. We study how these models compare to recent measurements of the Lyα forest opacity, mean free path, intergalactic medium thermal history, visibility of z > 8 Lyα emitters, and the patchy kSZ signal from the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We find that neither of the late-ending scenarios is strongly disfavored by any single data set. However, a majority of observables, spanning several distinct types of observations, prefer a late start. Not all probes agree with this conclusion, hinting at a possible lack of concordance arising from deficiencies in observations and/or theoretical modeling. Observations by multiple experiments (including JWST, Roman, and CMB-S4) in the coming years will establish a concordance picture of reionization's beginning or uncover such deficiencies.

Over 2000 γ-ray sources identified by the Large Area Telescope on NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope are considered unassociated, meaning that they have no known counterparts in any other frequency regime. We have carried out an image-based search for steep spectrum radio sources, with in-band spectral index < −1.4, within the error regions of Fermi unassociated sources using 1–1.4 GHz radio data from the MeerKAT Absorption Line Survey (MALS) data release. The first MALS data release with a median rms noise of 22–25 μJy and 735,649 sources is a significant advance over past image-based searches with improvements in sensitivity, resolution, and bandwidth. Steep spectrum candidates were identified using a combination of in-band spectral indices from MALS and existing radio surveys. We developed an optical and infrared source classification scheme in order to distinguish between Galactic pulsars and radio galaxies. In total, we identify nine pulsar candidates toward six Fermi sources that are worthy of follow-up for pulsation searches. We also report 41 steep spectrum radio galaxy candidates that may be of interest in searches for high-redshift radio galaxies. We show that MALS, due to its excellent continuum sensitivity, can detect 80% of the known pulsar population. This exhibits the promise of identifying exotic pulsar candidates with future image-based surveys with the Square Kilometre Array and its precursors.
A new species of woodlouse (Isopoda, Oniscidea) from the Canarian laurel forest

Published: February 2025

A new species of terrestrial isopod, Porcellio aguerensis Orihuela-Rivero, sp. nov. of the family Porcellionidae (Oniscidea), is described from the laurel forest of Tenerife, Canary Islands. This new species belongs to the Atlantic group (“scaber”) as defined by Vandel due to the structure of the male pleopod 1 and its “primitive” glandular system. Some diag­nostic characters that allow it to be differentiated from other species are revealed, such as (i) the smooth dorsal surface, (ii) the sinuosity of the posterior margin of the first pereonites, (iii) the configuration of the glandular system, and (iv) the structure of the male pleopod 1 exopod. The affinity of Porcellio aguerensis Orihuela-Rivero, sp. nov. with the morphologically closest members of the genus is discussed, both with continental and insular species, hypothesizing a relationship between the Canarian species of Porcellio and the “primitive” continental lineages of the genus. A key of the Porcellio species occurring in Tenerife is included. The conservation of Porcellio aguerensis Orihuela-Rivero, sp. nov. within a scenario of increasing dominance of invasive species is discussed.
Écologisation de la restauration collective publique : freins et leviers à la mise en œuvre de la loi EGalim
Authors: Brest Philippe , Karaa Meriam
Published: February 2025

Cet article examine des facteurs d’écologisation dans le secteur de la restauration collective publique. Basé sur un modèle général d’écologisation des organisations et sur 32 entretiens dans 10 organisations différentes, le modèle d’écologisation de la restauration collective publique proposé intègre des moteurs et des freins liés à leurs contextes organisationnels et à leurs environnements. Il contribue à montrer que l’écologisation de ce secteur ne peut se réduire à quelques ajustements, en vue de satisfaire a minima à une obligation légale, comme la loi EGalim. Au contraire, l’écologisation touche les valeurs des individus et toutes les fonctions des organisations concernées : approvisionnements, productions et budgets, mais aussi ressources humaines, communications, systèmes d’information… Les relations avec les parties prenantes externes sont déterminantes et, dans un souci de performance, la coordination des acteurs sur une zone géographique donnée suppose un pilotage public, en particulier de la part des collectivités, qui peuvent actionner des outils de management territorial.
Building Research Infrastructure to Address Psychosocial Frailty and Reach Underserved Aging Populations
Authors: Thiamwong Ladda , Lopez Janet , Leinbach Carla Beth
Published: February 2025

Frailty is prevalent in adults aged ≥50 years, particularly among under-served minorities. Frailty is a multidimensional concept including physical, psychological, and social frailty, and any definition of frailty should meet the criterion of practicality that could be measurable, preventable, or modified by interventions and clinically reasonable. Early detection and tailored interventions can delay the progression of frailty and prevent adverse health outcomes. However, there is limited recruitment of underserved minorities and lack of research on early detection of multidimensional frailty and embedded adaptive systems that adequately meet the needs of aging populations. Nursing scientists, public health professionals, and policymakers should be aware of each dimension of frailty while addressing frailty and creating substantial research infrastructure development to prevent frailty that reaches populations in rural, suburban, and urban areas and benefits a larger research community.

La calidad de los datos radiométricos disponibles para el estudio del fenómeno megalítico en Iberia ha mejorado notablemente en los últimos quince años. Como resultado, comienzan a surgir detalles relevantes en cuanto a la secuencia, temporalidad y evolución de ciertos tipos de monumentos, construcciones específicas y agrupaciones de ellas. En este artículo ampliamos esta línea de investigación al mega-sitio de la Edad del Cobre de Valencina, situado en el suroeste de la península ibérica. Presentamos 46 dataciones de radiocarbono inéditas realizadas sobre hueso humano y procedentes del área de enterramiento ubicada en el cuadrante sureste de este yacimiento, que incluye la cueva artificial La Huera, el sector PP4-Montelirio y el gran tholos de Montelirio. A través de modelos bayesianos y espaciales, esas nuevas fechas se combinan con ocho ya publicadas para proporcionar una imagen de alta resolución de la temporalidad de la compleja secuencia de enterramientos y deposición formal que tuvo lugar allí durante el período de apogeo de uso del sitio entre c. 2900 y 2650 a. C. Examinamos las fechas de inicio, secuencia, disposición espacial, duración y fecha de finalización de 21 estructuras recientemente datadas, para discutir posteriormente las implicaciones de los resultados en términos de las prácticas sociales que llevaron a la formación de este mega-sitio.
Études du Corpus des inscriptions du Campā, XIII
Authors: Griffiths Arlo
Published: February 2025

The Chamic languages, today represented only by small or very small minority communities of speakers on the Chinese island of Hainan, in Cambodia and in Vietnam, form a low-order branch of the Austronesian language family. One of the Chamic languages is Cham itself, with pockets of speakers (several 100,000 in total) in some provinces of Southern Vietnam as well as Cambodia, and a bifurcation between at least two clearly distinct dialects. It is the only Chamic language with a premodern writing tradition, but one that goes as far back as the 5th century ce. While Modern Cham has been documented based on manuscripts (none earlier than the 17th century) and by consultation with native speakers, older stages in the development of Cham are preserved in an epigraphic corpus, associated with a kingdom called Campā, that covers a millennium (ca. 500–1500) and a North-South stretch over at least 1000 km of what is today Vietnam. These premodern phases of Cham linguistic history, that we may call Old Cham, have drawn virtually no attention among linguists, and have not begun to be described linguistically by epigraphists. The road towards a grammar and dictionary of Old Cham has to pass through the visual documentation of the text-bearing inscriptions (estampages, photographs), and the decipherment of the writing system. Besides the challenges inherent in relying on inscriptional data (damage to artefacts leading to textual uncertainty, constraints on the type of linguistic expression found in inscriptions, among others), the linguistic analysis of Old Cham needs to be sensitive to the likelihood of chronological and geographic variation in a small corpus covering a lot of time and space. To access Old Cham, moreover, one cannot do without a knowledge of Sanskrit (which was used in Campā for epigraphic expression besides Old Cham), closely related non-Chamic languages that have a relatively well documented history (Malay, Acehnese), the unwritten other Chamic languages (Jarai, Raglai, etc.), and an understanding of the areal pressures that have pushed the Chamic languages rather far from the typological mold of the Austronesian languages of maritime Southeast Asia. This article, conceived as the prelude to grammatical and lexicographical research to follow, presents the Old Cham corpus from the artefactual and textual points of view, outlines the history of discovery and documentation of Old Cham, sketches the challenges that face scholarship in this field, and illustrates some preliminary results of typological and historical interest with special attention to the relevance of comparison with Malay and Acehnese.
Déclinaison et voix passive sur le toit du monde
Authors: Lamontre Jean-Baptiste
Published: February 2025

Cette contribution à l’histoire de la « Grammaire latine étendue » fournit deux études de cas où l’on peut observer un linguiste de terrain du xixe siècle, le gentleman scholar Brian H. Hodgson, en train de mettre en doute la pertinence du métalangage hérité de la tradition grammaticale occidentale pour les langues tibéto-birmanes auxquelles il l’applique. La description d’un système de marquage casuel analytique en termes de déclinaison, vieux topos des grammaires de la première modernité, apporte dans son sillage l’épineux problème du dénombrement des cas. Un transfert grammaticographique plus original mais non sans parallèle, la description de l’indexation ergative et polypersonnelle du verbe transitif kiranti par le biais d’une partition du paradigme en formes actives, passives et « spéciales », débouche quant à lui sur la remise en question de la notion de voix verbale. Il semble que les analyses, à première vue contradictoires, que livre l’auteur d’un article à un autre reflètent davantage des approches grammaticographiques complémentaires (théorisante, à visée typologique vs. pratique, à visée didactique) qu’une incohérence ou une incertitude sur la doctrine grammaticale.
La langue chinoise dans deux catalogues de langues du début du xixe siècle : Lorenzo Hervás y Panduro (1800-1805) et Johann Christoph Adelung (1806-1817)
Authors: Haßler Gerda
Published: February 2025

Les catalogues de langues du début du xixe siècle se situent à l’intersection méthodologique entre la recherche empirique et la méthode philosophico-comparative d’observation qui utilise des approches spéculatives. Hervás considérait les langues comme le meilleur moyen de classifier les peuples : il présentait notamment la Chine comme peu aimable, et cela se reflétait dans la classification évaluative de sa langue. Hervás avait obtenu ses informations principalement dans les écrits de missionnaires, qu’il plaint à plusieurs reprises dans le texte du Catálogo, en raison de la difficulté de leur travail. Adelung, quant à lui, insistait sur sa méfiance à l’égard des collections de mots, qui ne montrent rien du rythme ni du génie d’une langue dans la connexion des termes. Contrairement à Hervás, Adelung n’accorde aucune valeur explicative au mythe de Babel ; il suppose plutôt hypothétiquement que les langues de type monosyllabique de l’Asie du Sud-Est sont les plus anciennes. Il souligne la possibilité de mutation de la langue chinoise et l’ajout de composantes analogues pour l’expression d’autres significations, tout en considérant les mots de cette langue comme des sons de racines brutes.
Les cent chapitres : un manuel de conversation d’époque Qing et ses adaptations
Authors: Gianninoto Mariarosaria
Published: February 2025

Le Tanggū meyen [Les cent chapitres] est un manuel de conversation mandchou publié en Chine en 1750. Ses dialogues et monologues sont traduits en chinois et en mongol, et utilisés dans l’apprentissage de ces langues ainsi que du mandchou. Ils font aussi l’objet de traductions en anglais, et ces adaptations sont aussi destinées à l’enseignement du mandchou et du chinois par les Européens. Cet article se propose d’analyser les traductions et éditions occidentales de ce manuel par Wade (1867a & b), Möllendorff (1892) et Fraser (1924), en soulignant le brassage d’approches pédagogiques et de catégories descriptives qui les caractérisent.
De Calcutta à Londres, Paris ou Riga : imprimer et traduire les Asiatick Researches en Europe fin xviiie-début xixe siècle
Authors: Giusti Emanuele , Simon Fabien
Published: February 2025

Les Asiatick Researches, périodique publié par la Société Asiatique de Calcutta à partir de 1788, ont largement circulé en Europe grâce aux rééditions de Londres et aux traductions allemandes et françaises. Ces circulations ont donné lieu à des adaptations du texte, recontextualisé. Alors que la popularité de son fondateur, William Jones, a joué un rôle clé dans la diffusion de la revue en Grande-Bretagne, les intérêts philosophiques et théologiques pour les antiquités et les peuples asiatiques ont marqué la traduction parue en 1795-1797 à Riga, un important relais de transferts culturels vers l’espace germanique. En France, où les deux premiers volumes des Researches ont fait l’objet d’une traduction intégrale en 1805, sous la direction de l’orientaliste Louis-Mathieu Langlès, les Recherches Asiatiques sont le théâtre de multiples transpositions, politiques d’un côté, matériels de l’autre, typographiques en particulier. En tant qu’espace de production et d’organisation des savoirs, les Researches en traduction – tenant du phénomène politique, culturel et social – ont été un lieu de transformation et de confrontation des orientalismes en Europe.
La durabilité de l’arboriculture irriguée dans le sud-ouest de la France : des injonctions paradoxales
Authors: Lavie Émilie
Published: February 2025

Le changement climatique dans le Sud-Ouest de la France se matérialise par la transition d'un climat tempéré océanique à un climat méditerranéen. Cette transition pose des défis majeurs à la poursuite de l’agriculture irriguée, comme c’est le cas du Lot-et-Garonne. Rester soutenable économiquement dans un contexte de baisse de la disponibilité en eau constitue un enjeu de taille. Les filières agricoles sont au cœur d’injonctions paradoxales entre maintenir une forte production et être sobres en eau. Des recherches conduites dans le Lot-et-Garonne entre 2022 et 2023 auprès des parties prenantes des filières pruneau, kiwi et noisette ont mis en avant trois résultats principaux : des dynamiques productivistes de plus en plus techniques et industrialisées dans un contexte d’agriculture libérale, des stratégies d’adaptation au travers de l’irrigation (même contre le gel) et les prémices d’un sentiment de déconnexion entre les politiques publiques et les attentes locales, qui se sont exprimées par des mouvements de protestation du monde agricole.
La « qualité française » et la « tradition de la qualité » : arguments critiques d’une lutte politique
Authors: Vernet Guillaume
Published: February 2025

Lorsqu’on s’interroge sur les origines de l’usage de la catégorie critique de la « qualité », employée sous les formes canoniques « qualité française » et « tradition de la qualité », pour renvoyer aux films français les plus légitimés de l’après-Seconde Guerre mondiale, on revient systématiquement aux textes publiés par François Truffaut qui en stigmatisait violemment les travers. Si ces textes sont bien connus, on s’est rarement interrogé sur la construction de la catégorie critique employée par Truffaut. En s’intéressant davantage à celle-ci qu’à son ou ses prétendus auteurs et en étudiant la circulation de la notion de qualité avant qu’elle ne soit en quelque sorte fixée dans ces textes, on constate que cette catégorie est l’argument d’une bataille discursive d’ampleur engagée dès la fin de la guerre autour de la qualité du cinéma national et des moyens politiques à mettre en œuvre pour la susciter. Cet article vise à rendre à la catégorie critique de la « qualité » ce statut d’argument de lutte politique, à en étudier brièvement la construction, depuis la fin de la guerre jusqu’aux textes de Truffaut lui-même, et à en analyser les différentes significations au sein de cette lutte. Ce faisant, son ambition est aussi d’interroger les enjeux politiques du célèbre discours critique qu’elle a servi, la « qualité » contre le « cinéma d’auteurs », dont les conséquences sur l’histoire de la pensée sur le cinéma en France ont été des plus déterminantes.
De Caligari à Hitler et les débats américains
Authors: Forestier Laurent Le
Published: February 2025

À l’époque de la publication aux Presses universitaires de Princeton de From Caligari to Hitler (De Caligari à Hitler), en 1947, il existe peu d’ouvrages engageant de manière aussi assertive une conception de la recherche en cinéma à la fois personnelle et clairement définie, fixant avec netteté et fermeté un cadre méthodologique adapté à une problématique, et s’adossant à un appareil critique conséquent, qui se traduit par une bibliographie étoffée, c’est-à-dire se présentant résolument comme une proposition de recherche scientifique en cinéma. Pourtant ce livre a été peu considéré dans l’historiographie comme occupant cette place dans le champ, alors naissant et donc protéiforme, des études sur le cinéma, c’est-à-dire à la fois comme héritant de débats antérieurs sur la manière d’approcher scientifiquement l’objet cinéma et comme engageant une réflexion qui trouvera de multiples prolongements, parfois contradictoires, dans ce champ. Cet article se propose de repartir de la réception américaine de De Caligari à Hitler, qui permet de mieux comprendre dans quel lieu intellectuel a été inscrit l’ouvrage par ses commentateurs, lieu ouvert à un ensemble de discours qui œuvrent également, au même endroit et à la même époque, de manière plus ou moins explicite, à conceptualiser les possibles de la recherche sur le cinéma, aux États-Unis. Il s’agit de cerner le « bain épistémique » dans lequel Kracauer se trouve plongé, quand bien même il ne revendique pas explicitement de s’y inscrire. Kracauer a refusé les principes méthodologiques de ce lieu intellectuel des « implications sociologiques du film », leur préférant un autre cadre préconisant moins une recherche sur le cinéma qu’une recherche en cinéma, avec un prisme prioritairement esthétique, en réaction aux recherches prenant le cinéma comme objet à partir d’autres disciplines.
Chemoinformatics and Molecular Descriptors
Authors: Karunakaran Chandrashekar , Setlur Anagha S , Niranjan Vidya
Published: February 2025

Chemo-informatics, merging chemistry and informatics, explores chemical space for drug discovery and materials science. Central to this field are molecular descriptors, encoding compounds' structural and physicochemical properties computationally. Chemo-informatics uses tools to analyse chemical data, integrating computer science, statistics, and chemistry, driving decision-making in drug design and materials science. Molecular descriptors are vital in drug discovery, from compound selection to toxicity prediction. Traditional descriptors offer insights into drug-likeness, while advanced descriptors provide detailed spatial and electronic information. Machine learning uses these descriptors for predictive models. Chemo-informatics also guides designing functional materials and accelerates virtual screening. Future directions include AI and high-throughput experiments.

Published: February 2025

Molecular docking has now become an inseparable part of drug discovery research. It involves determining how well different possible conformations of prospective ligand molecules bind to their intended target molecules. Various algorithms and tools are employed to achieve this end. Most of these tools assign scores to several possible conformations, enabling comparison among them. Indeed, most ligand and target molecules display flexibility, leading to multiple conformations. This complexity is dealt with by treating the ligand, the target, or parts of them as non-flexible to achieve docking in a time and computationally cost-effective manner. Some methods integrate a variety of other techniques to create a hybrid strategy, enhancing or augmenting the search outcome derived from an economical heuristic algorithm by incorporating a more rigorous one. Despite the numerous challenges encountered in molecular docking, the rapid advancements in computational tools and technologies serve as clear evidence that the relevance of molecular docking remains substantial and enduring.
