Authors: Javed Syed Waqas , Khurram Hafiz Muhammad
Published: January 2023

Purpose: This study provides important perceptions to the policy makers in Pakistan to introduce a new mode of transportation for the consumer. In this particular case, the consumers in Pakistan are still showing their interest in buying Internal combustion engine (ICE’s) over Electrical vehicles (EV’s) due to non-awareness of merits and demerits of EV’s.

Methodology: Therefore to evaluate consumer’s preferences towards two wheeler electric vehicles a survey was conducted by distributing questionnaire among the people of country in different regions. About 317 respondents living in Pakistan participated. Eleven different factors related to consumer’s preference has been observed for the purchase of E-bikes. After analyzing these 11 factors, top three factors like awareness about E-bike, design and aesthetic and health and safety issues have found their preference. Similarly, three other bottom factors i.e. availability of charging facilities, mileage per charging and price factors has found main causes of low purchase of EV’s by consumers.

Findings: After conducting survey it has revealed that awareness about electric vehicles should be developed among the students and other users, maximum dealership should be given to the experts, distribution network should be strong and also prices of E-bikes should be decreased in order to increase the sale.

Recommendation: The study also had revealed that Govt. of Pakistan with the consultation/coordination of manufacturers within the country could prepare a policy for the installation of plants/factories of E-bikes wherein with the support of Govt. for the provision of necessary infrastructure and subsidy to the consumer.

Authors: Tongora Eliphas F
Published: January 2023

E-commerce can enable medium, small-sized enterprises in emerging markets to gain greater bargaining power for innovation in Tanzania’s economic growth, despite its limited capital and mobility. The rationale for the e-Commerce definition emanates from the fact that Tanzania has lagged behind in acquiring, adopting and using e-Commerce. Many factors could be responsible for the low usage of e-Commerce among the SMEs in Tanzania. In order to determine the factors that inhibit the adoption of e-Commerce, SMEs were confronted in their quest to indicate the factors intricate the adoption of e-Commerce, among those were: Organizational factor, Environmental factor, Political and legal (regulatory policies) factor and Communication factor, followed by lack of ICTs tools, lack of financial resources, online security and several other reasons. At the same time, the research provides insights into understanding e-Commerce adoption by SMEs in the context of Tanzania.

Authors: Shalini Perada, P.N. Murthy
Published: January 2023

The current research aims to formulate and evaluated Cinnamaldehyde transdermal patches to treat   diabetes. A good penetration enhancer Oleic Acid, would improve drug delivery from various polymer-based transdermal patches. Transdermal patches of the matrix type were made by solvent casting techniques using various polymer PVP K30, HPMC K100, and solvent. All prepared formulations were tested for folding endurance, weight variation, thickness, drug content, moisture content, moisture loss, in vitro drug release and In- vivo studies. Batch TDP1 was optimised formula from all formulation batches shows zero order release for 24 hours, with a cumulative percentage of drug diffusion of 97.68% from 2cm2 patches. It has been determined that polymer concentration HPMC films showed better release which may be attributed to the reason of high water vapour permeability of HPMC films for enhancing diffusion rate of drug through rat skin, oleic acid were incorporated as permeation enhancers in the HPMC films since they showed better release.  It allows for controlled drug release from the patch. Drug content of the patches was found to be more than 98%. Variations in flux and Diffusion Coefficient  were observed among various formulations. The drug–polymer interaction results suggested no interaction between drug and polymers. The in vivo results revealed that the patches successfully prevented the hyperglycaemia and they were also effective on chronic application. The transdermal route exhibited negligible skin irritation and produced better improvement with all the tested in vivo parameters compared to oral administration.
Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) as Assessment Tool in Primary Schools: Perceived Influence on Students Writing Skills in Secondary Schools in Yaounde VI.
Authors: Fuhtung Ndifor Roseline
Published: January 2023

This study examines the influence of excess used MCQ as an assessment or test tool in senior primary schools on their writing competences in early secondary schools. The problem of this study emanates from the observed fall in writing skills among early primary school pupils in Yaounde V. Majority of the students who register in Form One do not know how to write well. The piloted and validated qualitative data analyses tool (interview guide) were used to collect data from 18 participants being 10 primary school class 5 and 6 teachers and 8 secondary school English teachers. The data was examined and the majority of the opinions sampled were considered and it indicated that: Junior secondary school students have unadorned writing challenges due to excess use of MCQ as assessment tools. They concede that it does not give the learner the ability to practice their own writing skills, thus, they turn to neglect it because it’s not much tested in the exams. We therefore recommend to the teachers that; they should employ a heterogeneous testing method in pupil’s exams.

Authors: RAH Fachruddin , A Nugroho , I Jamtani , A Widarso , RY Saunar
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Choledochal cyst is rare malformation of the biliary system, characterized by abnormal cystic dilation in the biliary duct. There is no clear explanation regarding the etiology of the disease. Choledochal cysts are more common in Asian population, mainly diagnosed in children, particularly in females. Due to the rare incidence of giant choledochal cyst, evidence regarding safe operative approach was still scarce. This study aims to present the management option of type 1 giant choledochal cyst. Case presentation: We present a 26-year-old female patient with a chief complaint of intermittent right upper quadrant abdominal pain, which radiated to the back. The pain worsened while the patient was pregnant. The patient was then diagnosed with a giant choledochal cyst and concomitant left- and right- hepatic duct dilation with multiple gallstones. Results: We utilize Lilly’s technique, which involves cauterizing the mucosa while leaving the serosa connected to the adhering tissues. This method is helpful in giant long standing cyst, where the mucosa could not be entirely removed because it adhered to another structure, such as the pancreatic parenchyma, inferior vena cava, or hepatic hilar arteries. Conclusion: A complicated gigantic Type 1 choledochal cyst case benefits from Lilly’s method.

Published: January 2023

The issue of renewable energy, an alternative to energy resulting from fossil fuels, is one of the most important topics that researchers have been interested in in recent years, due to its importance in reducing the effects of fossil fuels and the environmental pollution they cause, as well as being one of the important methods that reduce the depletion of large quantities of oil and gas in generating electrical energy from it. The generation of alternative electric energy depends on a number of natural elements that are naturally available, permanent, and renewable, such as solar radiation energy, wind energy, as well as water energy and bioenergy resulting from the use of animal remains and the remains of various human uses. We will focus here in this research on wind energy as one of the most important energies used in the generation of clean, environmentally friendly electric power because of its characteristic of not leaving any environmental pollutants during its generation, as well as its other advantages. The generation of electric power from the wind needs to choose the optimal areas for generating it in a way that guarantees its continuity, and generating it in economic quantities that contribute to meeting the increasing needs of electricity in various human activities. Therefore, the study of winds and knowledge of their characteristics, speed and directions are among the most important things concerned by those interested in climate affairs to ensure the continuity of their generation, whose speed should not be less than 3.6 m3 / second during the months of the year. And when choosing any area to generate electric power from wind and installing wind turbines in it, several important criteria must be available that must be available in the chosen area to ensure the success of the project of the stations built on it and ensure its continuity and in economic quantities, so we will focus in our research on those environmental and spatial criteria that must be available in choosing Areas of installation of electric power plants from wind, and we will take the western plateau region in Najaf province as a model for this study.

“NO SE NACE SABIENDO ANDAR JUNTOS” ALGUNAS PROPUESTAS PARA EL CAMINO SINODAL EN FIDELIDAD AL ESPÍRITU
Authors: Sánchez Zariñana José
Published: January 2023

Cuando hablamos de una Iglesia sinodal, nos estamos refiriendo a un caminar juntos hacia una meta común. Con todo, la experiencia milenaria de la Iglesia nos indica que son muy pocas las veces que hemos caminado juntos en pie de igualdad (laicos, religiosos, sacerdotes, agentes de pastoral). La participación en la Iglesia ha sido durante mucho tiempo desigual. Pero el reconocimiento de la igualdad de los fieles para que de verdad caminemos “codo a codo” no basta para mostrar que nuestra máxima dignidad, la de ser hijos e hijas de Dios, se encuentra realizada en perfecta equidad de dignidad. Requerimos capacitarnos para caminar lado a lado, con la guía e inspiración del Espíritu, y prepararnos para responder a esta misión común. Ofrecemos aquí elementos para discernir la voz del Espíritu que nos llama, convoca, acompaña y guía, así como cuatro necesarias habilitaciones para responder como Iglesia a los signos de los tiempos actuales.
EL TESTIMONIO COMO UN INSTRUMENTO DE EVANGELIZACIÓN EN AMÉRICA LATINA: UNA PROPUESTA DESDE LA PSICOLOGÍA HISTÓRICA Y LA TEOLOGÍA POPULAR EVANGÉLICA
Authors: Torres Monroy Carlos
Published: January 2023

El siguiente artículo estudia los testimonios producidos en el mundo protestante-evangélico dentro del proceso de evangelización protestante en América Latina. Con base en la prensa de estas Iglesias, se observa que la evangelización en el protestantismo se centra en modificar las actitudes y conductas de los individuos. La narración de situaciones difíciles resueltas gracias a la intervención de la divinidad produce un vínculo entre los creyentes y las Iglesias, en el que se resignifican las experiencias de vida de los primeros y se legítima la eficacia de las segundas. Este fenómeno convierte a los testimonios en objetos mentales que han estado presentes durante más de cien años, por lo que su estudio también requiere una perspectiva teológica que ponga por delante la actuación del pueblo creyente como productor de estos relatos de vida.

Software has always been a companion for humans since the boomed invention of automation. All the automation which has been done till date always carried a motive for the ease of complex processes and sometimes for replacing enormous human activities. The project presents plant leaf disease detection, effect of disease on plant yield and the remedies for its cure. In agriculture, research of automatic plant disease is essential in monitoring large fields of plants, and thus automatically detect symptoms of disease as soon as they appear on plant leaves. Every other field has got some benefit from new technologies as compared to the agricultural field. According to past studies, 42% of agricultural production is in loss and that too because of the increasing rate of loss due to plant leaf diseases. To overcome this major issue, this plant leaf disease detection technique can be applied to detect a disease from the input images. This process involved steps like image preprocessing, image segmentation, feature extraction.

Published: January 2023

The milk is the important nutrition for mortal being. The good quality milk should be free from the pollutants. Milk is substantially vended by original merchandisers as well as by super requests. still, in original areas to increase the volume of milk certain pollutants are added which may affect the nutritive quality of milk. Milk contamination is a social problem. The problem of contamination is faced by both Indian and foreign countries. Application of thinned milk causes severe health problems and a great concern to the food assiduity. The Country milk directors and consumers facing problem to find the quality of milk, accept the show of price and consumption. So, it's necessary to insure the quality of milk by measuring the vital parameters present in the milk and the pollutants that are added to the milk. Then we're measuring the different parameters of milk similar as pH, turbidity, conductivity, odor, temperature using detectors. Also, with the help of IOT( Internet of effects) process the milk assiduity should be suitable to shoot the real time reading information of milk to the government so that it helps to overcome the illegal effects similar as milk quality during the product of milk packet. This proposed system is enforced using At mega328 microcontroller. All the detectors arecombined to form compact and flexible system which dissect and classify the quality of milk into different grades and eventually affair displayed on TV screen. Problem faced in small journals and by the individualities can be averted by detecting the quality of milk, and help from causing the dangerous conditions by detecting the contamination of milk. husbandry is an important part of India and the dairy business is an overall benefit to India's business or frugality. Farmers force milk to dairy products and admit payments grounded on the chastity of the milk. As it's known, the world is moving presto now that people with further luxurious cultures are responding to trends and requirements. thus, there's a need to ameliorate the agrarian life of India. In milk, colorful factors are calculated, similar as fat, pH, and the asked rate of fat mass. The system calculates these parameters and the microcontroller reads the data and sends to android phone. The Blynk app installed on the phone can be used to perform billing computations and calculate the diurnal payments. This technology offers a clever mobile operation that help in determining the quantum of fat in milk. Both Arduino boards and microcontrollers may use the detector. The fashion for relating fat in milk samples is veritably affordable. The sector offers fair rates to growers and gives governments with real- time dairy value andproportions through the Internet of effects(IoT) procedure.

Published: January 2023

One of the most common factors that contributes to the deaths and injuries caused by road accidents is drowsiness. It can also affect the performance of a driver. Detecting eye blinks is an essential part of various driver safety applications. The rapid pace of blinking makes it incredibly challenging to detect eye blinks automatically. This paper presents a method that can be used to identify eye blinks captured by a camera. The suggested method takes into account the facial landmarks for each frame and then takes the distance between the eyes from these landmarks. The proposed technique calculates the positions of the facial landmarks, uses the Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR) to extract a single scalar quantity, and determines the eye closeness in each frame.

Authors: Sakshi Gunde
Published: January 2023

Prosthetics play an important role as a substitute for any essential part of body. Soft prosthetic is an attempt at making these artificial devices more human-like. The main focus of this paper is the use of a carbon nanotube- elastomer based compound material as an actuator for prosthetic devices. One of the main limitations of Electroactive Polymer (EAP), which is high applied voltage, is overcome in this approach by using carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn permeated with a mixture of elastomer and methanol. The actuation is based on phase transition and this concept can be implemented for soft prosthetics.

Garantías salariales y de rentas sociales sustitutivas en clave europea: ¿lo «político-económico» por encima de lo «jurídico-social»?
Authors: Molina Navarrete Cristóbal
Published: January 2023

1. ¿Adiós al nonato –injusto e irracional– pacto de rentas (perdón, de moderación salarial)? Inmersa plenamente en la «cuesta de enero 2023», por encima de los ruidos y las crispaciones político-institucionales (de gran calado), la ciudadanía española sitúa sus inquietudes reales, la mayoría, en la cuestión de la suficiencia salarial, y, una parte muy significativa, en la relativa a la de las pensiones (y la garantía de otras rentas sociales sustitutivas). Instituciones y actores de la gobernanza económica enfatizan, en cambio, las cuestiones de competitividad empresarial y de sostenibilidad financiera del estado de bienestar, no solo de las pensiones. Y, por lo común, unas y otras se presentan de un modo antagónico, como si la realización de las primeras hipotecara a las otras.
A Critical Review of the “2021 APA [American Psychological Association] Resolution on Sexual Orientation Change Efforts”
Authors: Phelan* James E. , Schumm Walter R. , H. Rosik Christopher
Published: January 2023

We examined the “APA [American Psychological Association] RESOLUTION on Sexual Orientation Change Efforts” (APA, 2021) and while doing so have noted several problems. The APA (2021) resolution report is largely flawed in terms of theory, logic, and science. It relies almost exclusively on sexual minority theory when many other theories might be useful. It relies upon seriously flawed logic, treating SOCE as unchanged and unimproved over the past six decades. In addition, it relies upon very weak and limited science, overlooking recent reports on SOCE outcomes, not considering effect sizes for SOCE treatments, treating correlational results as causal, and often overlooking ways of testing more complex models of SOCE. The same limitations apply to much of the material reported in APA’s book edited by Haldeman (2022a), therefore not deserving a separate review. As such, we concluded that readers of the APA (2021) resolution report or Haldeman (2022a) for that matter, would walk away with unequivocal, one-sided, and misguided information about the topic of SOCE and therefore a fact-checked critical analysis is presented.

Blood transfusions no longer provide all the blood components but only provide the necessary blood components. We aim to determine whether there is a comparison of hemolysis events and hematocrit quality in leucodepleted (In Line) and leucodepleted (Bedsite) clinical transfusions. This study was an analytic study with a cross-sectional design to compare hemolysis events and hematocrit quality in leucodepleted (In Line) and leucodepleted (Bedsite) clinical transfusions. We obtained sample data in this study divided into 2 groups, namely the group with leucodepleted in line and the group with leucodepleted bedsite inclusion and exclusion criteria of 58 samples.We found that the incidence of hemolysis after leucodepleted (in line) was 0% and leucodepleted (bedsite) was 0.02%, where the standard percentage of blood hemolysis was <0.8%, the hemolysis incident after the production of the two products was very small. While the hematocrit before and after leucodepleted decreased by 35.91% in leucodepleted (in line) and 33.33% in leucodepleted (bedsite). There is a comparison of the incidence of leucodepleted (In Line) and leucodepleted (Bedsite) hemolysis. Where the incidence of leucodepleted (in line) hemolysis is not found, so the leucodepleted (in line) blood component has good quality. There is a comparison of the quality of leucodepleted (In Line) and leucodepleted (Bedsite) hematocrit.

Published: January 2023

Abstract. Horses in stalls generally remain in single-stall housing, so
abnormal behavior can be observed in this management condition. Abnormal
behavior can harm the horse's keeper, rider, or even the animal itself. The
present study aims to examine the effect of goats on abnormal behaviors in
horses. For this purpose, it placed six horses and six goats in the single-stall
housing of the horses, one horse and one goat, and monitored them for 45 d. The research was divided into three observation phases during this time:
in the first observation, the horses were left alone (0–15 d), in the second
observation, the horses were left together with the goats (16–30 d), and
in the third observation, the horses were left alone again (31–45 d). In
the first of these three stages, 12 different abnormal behaviors were
detected in horses. The determined hours (00:00–01:00, 06:00–07:00,
07:00–08:00, 19:00–20:00, 20:00–21:00, 23:00–24:00 LT) of the day for abnormal
behaviors identified in six different single-stall houses were examined. The
frequency of the total abnormal behavior occurring at these hours was
evaluated with nonparametric statistical tests. At the end of the research,
front feet playing (p=0.002), crib-biting objects (p<0.001), and box walking
(p<0.001) behaviors were significantly affected positively by the goats, while
there was no statistical difference in other abnormal behaviors
(p>0.05). In conclusion, it can be said that goats positively
affect some abnormal behaviors in horses but not others.

Abstract. Emissions from natural sources are driven by various external stimuli such as sunlight, temperature, and soil moisture. Once biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are emitted into the atmosphere, they rapidly react with atmospheric oxidants, which has significant impacts on ozone and aerosol budgets. However, diurnal, seasonal, and interannual variability in these species are poorly captured in emissions models due to a lack of long-term, chemically speciated measurements. Therefore, increasing the monitoring of these emissions will improve the modeling of ozone and secondary organic aerosol concentrations. Using 2 years of speciated hourly BVOC data collected at the Virginia Forest Research Lab (VFRL) in Fluvanna County, Virginia, USA, we examine how minor changes in the composition of monoterpenes between seasons are found to have profound impacts on ozone and OH reactivity. The concentrations of a range of BVOCs in the summer were found to have two different diurnal profiles, which, we demonstrate, appear to be driven by light-dependent versus light-independent emissions. Factor analysis was used to separate the two observed diurnal profiles and determine the contribution from each emission type. Highly reactive BVOCs were found to have a large influence on atmospheric reactivity in the summer, particularly during the daytime. These findings reveal the need to monitor species with high atmospheric reactivity, even though they have low concentrations, to more accurately capture their emission trends in models.

Abstract. Plant and microbial nitrogen (N) dynamics and N availability regulate the photosynthetic capacity and capture, allocation, and turnover of carbon (C) in terrestrial ecosystems. Studies have shown that a wide divergence in representations of N dynamics in terrestrial surface processes leads to large uncertainty in climate simulations and the projections of future trajectories. In this study, a plant C-N interface coupling framework was developed and implemented in a coupled biophysical-ecosystem-biogeochemical model (SSiB5/TRIFFID/DayCent-SOM). The main concept and structure of this plant C-N framework and its coupling methodology are presented. Different from many current approaches, this framework not only involves soil organic matter cycling, but uniquely takes into account plant N metabolism first, such as plant resistance and self-adjustment, which are represented by dynamic C / N ratios for each plant functional type (PFT). Then, when available N is less than plant N demand, N restricts plant growth, reducing gross primary productivity (GPP), and modulating plant respiration rates and phenology. All these considerations ensure a full incorporation of N regulations to plant growth and C cycling. This new approach has been tested to assess the effects of this coupling framework and N limitation on the terrestrial carbon cycle. Measurements from flux tower sites with different PFTs from 1996–2013 and global satellite-derived observations from 1948–2007 are used as references to assess the effect of the C-N coupling process on the long-term mean vegetation distribution and terrestrial C cycling using the offline SSiB5/TRIFFID/DayCent-SOM model, which use observed meteorological forcing to drive the model. The sensitivity of the terrestrial C cycle to different components in the framework is also assessed. The results show a general improvement with the new plant C-N coupling framework, with more consistent emergent properties, such as GPP, leaf area index (LAI), and respiration, compared to observations. The main improvements occur in tropical Africa and boreal regions, accompanied by a decrease of the bias in global GPP and LAI by 16.3 % and 27.1 %, respectively.

O presente artigo visa apresentar e discutir os resultados obtidos por meio da investigação de expressões genéricas (sintagmas determinantes – DPs – sem definitude, nem especificidade, como proposto por Cerqueira (2019a, 2019b)), no português brasileiro, com recorte na comunidade de prática LGBTQIA+. Para tanto, nos situamos no referencial teórico da sociolinguística de terceira onda (ECKERT, 2000 e posteriores), à medida em que compreendemos tais práticas linguísticas como elementos da identidade de seus falantes (CARVALHO, 2017a). Assim, nos amparamos na literatura gerativista (LYONS, 1987; MÜLLER, 2002; CERQUEIRA, MARIANO, 2020) para seleção das variantes linguísticas, a saber, posição sintática do DP, tipo de DP, traços léxico-sintáticos (definitude, especificidade, animacidade, humano, singular, masculino) e gênero do referente. Após tratamento qualitativo, decorrente de coleta de dados em suporte digital Twitter de gênero textual tweet, verificamos que as expressões genéricas podem ocorrer em diferentes posições sintáticas, aparentemente, sendo favorecido em posição de sujeito e de vocativo. Também ocorrem com diferentes tipos de DP, podendo ser favorecida com nome nu. Ademais, o item lexical gay permite concordância de gênero gramatical tanto masculina, quanto feminina.

Published: January 2023

A presente pesquisa se inicia com uma revisão bibliográfica que destaca a utilização de vídeos em Libras, as ferramentas tecnológicas e os recursos digitais associados, que se intensificaram principalmente no meio acadêmico, com a chegada da Pandemia de Covid-19 no Brasil. A discussão em pauta remete ao trabalho de mestrado em que foram analisadas as variações linguísticas presentes nos vídeos em Libras, selecionados e categorizados, e que se voltam para a área de saúde e termos recorrentes utilizados durante a pandemia. Como resultado, verificou-se a relevância do registro desses novos sinais e neologismos, que refletem o momento atual vivido no país. O registro dos sinais encontrados nos vídeos e dos demais sinais a serem descobertos e aperfeiçoados, conforme as pesquisas sobre a doença avançam cada vez mais, contribui de forma substancial para os estudos em línguas de sinais e sua produtividade, proporcionando um novo olhar e uma melhor compreensão da realidade.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar o processo fonético/fonológico de palatalização regressiva das oclusivas alveolares produzido no Português Brasileiro falado na cidade de Maceió-Alagoas, sob a ótica da Sociolinguística Variacionista (LABOV, 2008 [1972]), contrapondo os dados linguísticos coletados com variáveis internas (contexto anterior, posição da sílaba, consoante alvo, tamanho da palavra e natureza do gatilho) e externas (idade, sexo/gênero, bairro e escolaridade), com intuito de identificar possíveis condicionantes de uso da variante palatalizada e analisar se o processo de palatalização regressiva reflete uma variação estável ou mudança em progresso. No tratamento da variante fonético-fonológica, emprega-se como aporte teórico-metodológico a teoria de traços (CLEMENTS; HUME, 1995). Para a realização da pesquisa, utiliza-se o Banco de dados do Projeto português Alagoano – PORTAL e o programa computacional R, em sua plataforma de ambiente integrado RStudio para realizar as análises estatísticas. A pesquisa busca analisar os processos de palatalização regressiva em Maceió, considerando que, em diversas regiões do Brasil, esse contexto regressivo tem sido bastante comum nas comunidades de fala do Sul, Sudeste, Norte e Nordeste do Brasil (DA HORA 1990; BISOL, 1991; DUTRA, 2007, HENRIQUE; HORA, 2012; SOUZA NETO, 2014; CRISTOFÁRO SILVA, 2012; SOUZA, 2016) em palavras do tipo “[dZ]ia” e “[tS]ia”. Neste estudo, foi possível observar que a palatalização regressiva na comunidade de fala de Alagoas está em aparente processo de expansão, sendo favorecida pelos jovens e mais escolarizados.
“VOLTANU PRA CASA”: A ASSIMILAÇÃO DO /d/ GERÚNDIO NO SERTÃO ALAGOANO
Authors: Leite Stephanie Maiane dos Santos , Oliveira Almir Almeida de
Published: January 2023

O presente artigo tem como o objetivo investigar a assimilação do /d/ nos verbos no gerúndio nas cidades de Santana do Ipanema e Delmiro Gouveia, localizadas no Sertão do estado de Alagoas, em palavras do tipo ‘estudando’, ‘pedindo’, ‘ouvindo’ e ‘falando’, por meio de análise de entrevistas orais que compõem o banco de dados do Projeto Portal. Para tanto, foi utilizado como embasamento teórico a Sociolinguística Variacionista (LABOV (2008); WEINREICH, LABOV, HERZOG, 2006), a qual prevê que cada elemento variacional no interior da língua sofre de uma valoração social que condiciona sua realização, o que acarreta na expectativa de que cada variante linguística possa ser socialmente percebida como marcas positivas ou negativas do comportamento linguístico do falante. A pesquisa conta com 48 entrevistas de fala espontânea de informantes que foram estratificadas em sexo, idade, escolaridade e cidade, cuja correlação variacional será contraposta com as variáveis linguísticas extensão do vocábulo, contexto seguinte, contexto anterior, tipo do verbo e conjugação verbal. A partir de análise estatística no programa R, em sua interface Rstudio, os resultados apontam para a interferência das variáveis sociais idade e escolaridade do falante, sendo a assimilação da marca de gerúndio /d/ mais produtivo em falas de jovens e pessoas mais escolarizadas. Quanto às variáveis linguísticas, as que apresentaram maior significância foram a extensão do vocábulo, no qual o condicionamento da assimilação é proporcional ao tamanho do vocábulo; contexto seguinte, sendo a presença das oclusivas, o maior favorecedor da assimilação; e o tipo do verbo, com os verbos copulativos favorecendo a assimilação.
