Published: November 2024

The use and management of soil has an impact on its quality and agricultural productivity. Organic fertilization has become an alternative to mineral fertilization due to its ability to supply plants with nutrients. However, excessive use of fertilizers can result in changes to the soil, compromising its functions and plant development. In contrast, an understanding of the role of organic matter in stabilizing aggregates and the influence of organic fertilization on salinization and clay dispersion is important for conserving or improving soil quality. The aim of this review was to explore information on the factors that influence the formation of aggregates in the soil and the relationship with organic matter, highlighting the impact of organic fertilization on the physical and chemical properties of the soil. It can be inferred that soil management, such as the use of no-till systems, has a positive influence on the soil. Excessive use of organic fertilizers, such as chicken litter (CF) and pig manure biofertilizers (BDS), can lead to clay dispersion and soil structural degradation due to the presence of dispersing elements. Excess salts in the soil compromise the physical quality of the soil, leading to clay dispersion and erosion, hindering water infiltration and nutrient absorption by plants. The careful application of organic fertilizers and the adoption of sustainable practices are therefore essential to minimize the negative effects of salinization and promote the conservation of soil structure, ensuring its productivity and long-term sustainability.

The study included control samples without the enzyme and experimental samples with the addition of 6 ml of the enzyme, hydrolyzed at temperatures of 30°C, 40°C and 50°C for 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours. The results showed that the introduction of the enzyme significantly increases the content of amine nitrogen, especially at a temperature of 40°C and a duration of 3 hours, which was determined as optimal conditions. Under these conditions, the maximum amine nitrogen content of 2.10 mg/g was achieved. The prototypes obtained under optimal conditions demonstrated excellent organoleptic and functional properties. The hydrolysate has good fluidity and uniform texture, which is important for its further use in food products. The introduction of hydrolysate into sausages can lead to a number of improvements, such as an increase in nutritional value by enriching the product with easily digestible amino acids and peptides, an improvement in texture due to moisture binding and an increase in viscosity, as well as an improvement in taste qualities without changing the traditional taste and appearance of the product.
Importance of vascularity and blood flow in the reproductive system of female birds: a review
Authors: Machura Marta , Hrabia Anna
Published: December 2024

The reproductive system of female birds is characterized by a high metabolic rate associated with production of the egg constituents, i.e. the yolk in the ovary, and the albumen and calcified shell in the oviduct. Both organs require a high level of vascularization and intense blood flow, which differs depending on their activity. The increasing expansion of the vascular system and blood flow within the follicle wall as it develops facilitates the rapid delivery of oxygen, hormones, growth factors, nutrients, and egg-yolk precursors to the oocyte. The network of blood vessels is established during angiogenesis, a very complex process involving numerous regulators, the most important, of which are vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors. Although angiogenesis is an essential process for the normal functioning of the female reproductive system, information about this event in birds is limited. This review aims to provide up-to-date information on the importance of proper vascularization, mechanisms of angiogenesis, and blood flow regulation within the reproductive system of hens.

Authors: Altan Lale , Akif Cila Mehmet
Published: December 2024

Objectives: The study aimed to determine the level of health literacy in patients with knee osteoarthritis and investigate the relationship between health literacy and exercise approaches and physical therapy use.

Patients and methods: The cross-sectional study included 203 patients (143 females, 60 males; mean age: 63.5±9.2 years) between November 2018 and September 2019. Sociodemographic data, exercise habits, the number of applications to the physical medicine and rehabilitation outpatient clinic, and physical therapy applications were recorded. The Turkish Health Literacy Scale-32 (THLS-32), was used to determine health literacy. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) was used to evaluate pain and physical function. The relationship between THLS-32 and the number of admissions to the outpatient clinic, the number of physical therapy applications, exercise frequency, and WOMAC scores were investigated.

Results: The median THLS-32 of the patients was 33.8 (13-46.8). A statistically significant negative correlation was found between THLS-32 scores and the number of admissions to the physical medicine and rehabilitation outpatient clinic for knee pain in the last year, the number of physical therapies, the exercise frequency, and total WOMAC scores.

Conclusion: Increasing health literacy strengthens the capacities and participation of patients, reduces the costs of physical therapy, as well as medication costs, and consequently increases efficiency in the use of health services.
Is home-based real-time video conferencing telerehabilitation as effective as conventional face-to-face rehabilitation in patients with operated for distal radius fracture? A single-blind, randomized prospective study
Authors: Horoz Levent , Çiğdem Karaçay Başak , Ceylan İsmail , Fevzi Çakmak Mehmet
Published: December 2024

Objectives: This study aims to investigate whether telerehabilitation is as effective as face-to-face rehabilitation in terms of joint range of motion (ROM), edema, and functionality in patients operated for distal radius fractures (DRFs).

Patients and methods: Between May 2022 and May 2023, a total of 54 patients (8 males, 46 females; mean age: 56.8±11.6 years; range, 24 to 77 years) who underwent volar plate due to DRF with direct X-ray and computed tomography (CT) were included in this single-blind, randomized study. The patients were randomly divided into the face-to-face rehabilitation group (FFG) and telerehabilitation group (TRG). The same rehabilitation program was applied as face-to-face and Home-Based Real-Time Video Conferencing (HBRVC) telerehabilitation. Demographic data and participation times in rehabilitation sessions were recorded. A perimeter was measured using the Figure of 8 method. The ROM of the joint was measured by goniometry. Hand grip strength was measured with a hand dynamometer, and pinch grip was measured with a pinch meter. The Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (Quick-DASH) were used to assess functionality.

Results: In the initial evaluation, no statistically significant difference was found between age, smoking, dominant hand, operated hand, sex, and the number of participants in rehabilitation sessions (p>0.05). Comparing the values at Week 12 and Week 2, the change in pinch meter (p=0.007) and hand grip (p=0.030) values was higher in FFG than TRG. The Quick-DASH change (p<0.001) and PRWE change (p=0.001) values were statistically significantly lower in TRG than in FFG.

Conclusion: The HBRVC telerehabilitation program seems to be as effective as face-to-face rehabilitation on joint ROM and edema in patients undergoing volar plate fixation for DRF. However, the telerehabilitation method on functionality and muscle strength is less effective than face-to-face rehabilitation.

Esse artigo realizou uma análise da legislação sobre o estupro virtual. Nesse sentido, esse artigo tem como problemática responder a seguinte indagação: qual a viabilidade da tipificação do estupro virtual? Partindo desse ponto, o objetivo geral desse estudo compreende analisar a legislação penal e a configuração do estupro virtual. Em relação aos objetivos específicos consistem em descrever o perfil das vítimas dos crimes sexuais; e pesquisar os obstáculos para identificar criminosos que utilizam os meios digitais para cometer os crimes. Com relação ao caminho metodológico desse artigo, compreende uma revisão bibliográfica do tipo descritiva, haja vista que a problemática compreende descrever a viabilidade da tipificação do estupro virtual, com natureza qualitativa. Os descritores utilizados foram: estupro virtual; consumação do estupro no âmbito virtual. Foram escolhidas pesquisas em português que estivessem de acordo com a temática proposta após a leitura de título e resumo, sendo excluídas aquelas em idioma estrangeiro. Portanto, observa-se que os autores analisados, bem como o STJ tem entendido ser plenamente viável a tipificação do estupro virtual, contudo, esses casos são mais difíceis de provar em virtude das condições do ambiente digital que dificultam o colhimento de provas. Ademais, esse delito pode ser consumado sem qualquer conjunção carnal e nem violência direta entre vítima e agressor, basta que a vítima seja constrangida mediante ameaça para que o autor consiga satisfazer seu desejo sexual.
FISH CONSUMPTION IN KERALA: EXTERNALITIES AND LESSONS LEARNED DURING COVID PANDEMIC
Authors: SALIM SHYAM.S. , A. R. ANUJA. , N. R ATHIRA. , KUMARAN AKHILA
Published: November 2024

The COVID 19 pandemic induced stringent stress all across the food supply chain in the country causing perceptible changes in people's food consumption patterns. The spread of Corona virus has shaped tailbacks in the production, distribution and processing, leading to momentous shifts in fish consumption patterns as well as the demand and supply of fish. The present study analyses the changes in fish consumption patterns of Kerala state during three time periods viz, Pre COVID, COVID, and Post COVID in addition to assessing the determinants of fish consumption and the constraints towards fish consumption. The study was conducted in March 2022, using primary data gathered from the different households across Kerala with a total sample size of 440 across the state through a hybrid approach of online (Google Forms) and telephone questionnaire surveys. Qualitative, quantitative, and descriptive data analysis with statistical tools such as Wilcoxon's rank test and Maxdiff Cluster analysis was used for interpreting viable results for the study. The study identified that the consumption levels of fish during the COVID time have reduced considerably, thereby altering the consumption pattern and taste preferences. During the Pre COVID, most of the respondents consume fish daily (68.89 per cent), while in the pandemic phase, most of the respondents rely on weekly fish consumption of about 30.52 per cent. The consumption pattern has regained to a daily basis during the post-COVID COVID, however, there is a decrease to 30.52 per cent. The source of purchase has shifted from retail centres to online markets. The consumption of local fish increased due to the no availability and distortions in the supply chain. The  lockdown disruptions have severely affected the fish trade and thereby fish consumption. It was important to identify that the consumers resorted to less preferred fish from a known source rather than a preferred fish from an unknown source. Efforts to increase the local supply of fish with sufficient storage facilities were used to cope with such an unprecedented situation. However, more stringent measures should be identified with the governmental support of a resilient supply chain for enhancing the fish supply chain.

O artigo se justifica por trazer contribuições teóricas e apontar práticas que sintetizam a percepção dos stakeholders identificados no processo de elaboração do PEI de uma Escola de Governo. O problema de pesquisa visa responder: como a EG se relaciona com os stakeholders para realizar a produção e a entrega dos serviços educacionais aos servidores públicos estaduais no contexto de elaboração do PEI?. Objetiva-se analisar o grau em que os stakeholders ameaçam ou cooperam no processo de produção e entrega dos serviços. Para tanto, adotou-se como metodologia a abordagem descritiva, em que foram realizados levantamentos de dados qualitativos e quantitativos, combinando técnicas de grupos focais, entrevistas com os agentes públicos e pesquisa tipo survey, utilizando-se a internet para capturar a percepção de alunos, de egressos e de professores que formam o grupo de stakeholders diretamente influenciados e influenciadores das atividades fins da EG. Desse modo, como resultados, observa-se, que o grupo contratado pela EG para gerenciar serviços necessários à produção de cursos (tecnologia de informática e comunicação, provedor de internet, aplicativos de gestão educacional) apresenta-se como a principal ameaça ao processo de execução das atividades. Por outro lado, todos os grupos mostram alto grau para cooperar. Conclui-se, assim, que a aplicação da Teoria dos Stakeholders em processos de elaboração do Planejamento Estratégico Institucional - PEI nas organizações públicas ainda carece de adensamento teórico e empírico, uma vez que o diagnóstico dessas organizações se encontra, fortemente, vinculado aos modelos tradicionais, desconsiderando o comportamento dos stakeholders e seu potencial para ameaçar ou cooperar.
Gender in Social Media: A Comparative Study of Abd. Somad and Adi Hidayat’s Interpretation on Gender Equality
Authors: Parwanto Wendi , Sulaiman  , Riyani
Published: December 2024

This research aims to explore and compare the views of two popular preachers in Indonesia, Ustaz Abdul Somad and Ustaz Adi Hidayat, regarding the concept of gender equality, conveyed via social media. In the digital era, social media has become an important platform for religious figures to convey their views and educate the public. The main focus of this research is to identify differences in the interpretations of each ustaz regarding gender issues, especially those involving women’s rights in the Islamic context. Data was collected through content analysis of videos and uploads spread on platforms such as YouTube and Instagram, which were studied using a descriptive-qualitative approach. The findings show that although both have the same foundation in Islamic teachings, there are variations in how they interpret the role of women and gender equality. Ustaz Abdul Somad tends to use a conservative approach that emphasizes traditional gender roles according to sharia norms. In contrast, Ustaz Adi Hidayat offers a more contextual approach, highlighting the importance of women’s empowerment within the limits set by Islam. These two interpretations reflect the diversity of thought in understanding gender equality among Indonesian ulama. It is hoped that this research can enrich the literature regarding the interpretation of gender in Islam and provide a better understanding of the influence of social media on public perceptions regarding gender issues in Indonesia.

Una de las labores más complicadas dentro de la patología forense, desde tiempos remotos, es establecer el origen y la causa de muerte, en especial, cuando la transición de un estado a otro no está completamente clara. Aunque una autopsia, puede dotar de información vital para inducir la causa de un deceso, los datos generados, en ocasiones, no coinciden realmente para aclarar la razón de fallecimiento de un individuo. El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar las causas y modos de muerte en casos de homicidio, así como establecer las circunstancias e identificar las responsabilidades penales por el delito cometido. Se utilizó una metodología de investigación cualitativa, mediante el análisis exhaustivo de estudio y reportes previos relacionados con las causas y modos de muerte, así como determinar las circunstancias e identificar las responsabilidades penales por el delito cometido, por medio del análisis de herramientas utilizadas, patrones de cortes o heridas y mecanismos fisiológicos entre otros factores que contribuyen al fallecimiento bajo la modalidad mencionada en casos de homicidios en Ecuador. Los principales resultados revelan que la mayoría de los homicidios fueron perpetrados con armas de fuego, siendo la causa principal de decesos. Los grupos mas afectados son los jóvenes y en pocas cantidades adolescentes. La provincia del Guayas presenta la tasa mas alta de homicidios. Este estudio proporciona información valiosa para orientar el desarrollo de políticas y programas que permitirán reducir los alarmantes índices de homicidios en Ecuador, protegiendo la vida y la seguridad de los ciudadanos.

Published: November 2024

Carrot is an exotic vegetable in Liberia, commonly used in combination with other vegetables when making soups, stews, and salads. The study focused on assessing the growth and yield of carrots by combining NPK doses and organic manures in an open field at the Teaching and Research Farm, William V. S. Tubman University Campus, Harper City, Liberia. The randomized complete block design included soil amendments of 10 t/ha, 15 t/ha, and 20 t/ha of chicken manure, along with 300 kg/ha of NPK fertilizer (15:15:15), and a control for evaluation. The findings from the physical and chemical analysis of different macronutrients in the soil, such as soil carbon, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium, were deemed to be moderate and satisfactory. The result of analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that all growth and yield parameters were significantly affected (P <0.05). Results indicated that the longest Plant height (19.10 cm) was recorded in the 20 ton ha-1 compost application, while the lowest plant height (6.84 cm) was measure in the control. The highest leaf number (15.15) was recorded in 20 t ha-1 while the lowest leaf number (10.22) was recorded in the control (0 t ha-1). The result revealed that the leaf area (39.76 cm2) was recorded in the 20 ton ha-1, while the minimum (13.18cm2) was recorded from the control. The next best results were seen with 20 t ha-1of chicken manure, which had root lengths of 19.31cm, while the lowest plant root length (6.84cm) was measure in the control. The highest root diameter of (7.87mm) was recorded in 20 t ha-1 while the lowest root diameter (2.16 mm) was recorded in the control (0 t ha-1). The result revealed that the maximum root weight (31.76 g) was recorded in the 20 ton ha-1, while the minimum (10.33 g) was recorded from the control. The study found that the carrot plants showed the best growth and highest yield when treated with 20 tons per hectare of chicken manure.

Published: November 2024

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), an annual plant of the Fabaceae family, widely recognized for its medicinal and nutritional value, is cultivated for its seeds and leaves that are rich in bioactive compounds such as phenol, alkaloid, saponin and tannin. In this study, seven fenugreek genotypes—Hisar Sonali, Rajendra Kranti, Gujarat Methi-1, Pusa Early Bunching, RMT-1, CO-1, and Pant Ragini—were evaluated under a completely randomized design to assess their morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics. The scientific analysis showed that the biotypes had significant variations in timing of flowering, fresh and dry weight, water relations traits, and phyto-biochemical content. The average days to 50% flowering was early in the Rajasthan Methi-1 (50.10). The fresh weight of the stem ranged from 12.85 g in Rajasthan Methi-1 to 17.95 g in Pant Ragini, while the dry weight in Pant Ragini reached 6.55 g. Water relations also differed as indicated by relative water content (RWC) and water saturation deficit (WSD). Pant Ragini displayed the highest RWC (88.96%), indicating better water retention, while Rajasthan Methi-1 recorded the highest relative water deficit (RWD) of 22.37%, indicating greater sensitivity to water stress. Total carbohydrate content (TCC) was highest in Hisar Sonali (32.57%) and lowest in Coimbatore-1 (24.94%), with all genotypes having significant carbohydrate and phenolic contents. These findings provide the basis for further breeding and selection programs aimed at enhancing the medicinal and agronomic value of fenugreek.

Authors: Miracle Onyejike, Ifeoma , Nnamdi Onyejike, Darlington , Obioma. Nweke, Elizabeth
Published: November 2024

The rising popularity of herbal remedies, perceived as safer alternatives to synthetic drugs, has led to increased consumption of various herbal mixtures, including Odogwu Bitters and Goko Cleanser in Nigeria. This study investigates the biochemical and nephrotoxic effects of these herbal products when co-administered to adult male Wistar rats. A total of 40 rats were acclimatized and divided into ten groups, receiving varying doses of Odogwu Bitters and Goko Cleanser for 42 days. Biochemical analyses were performed to measure kidney function markers—blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and uric acid. Results indicated significant alterations in these parameters; elevated creatinine and urea levels in certain experimental groups which suggested potential nephrotoxic effects. Specifically, groups receiving higher doses of Goko Cleanser showed a marked increase in creatinine and urea levels compared to the control group (P = .001). Phytochemical analyses revealed the presence of saponins, flavonoids, and alkaloids, which may influence renal function and oxidative stress. Despite saponins being known for their nephroprotective properties, the overall findings underscore the dual nature of these herbal mixtures, where beneficial effects may coexist with risks of renal impairment. This research highlights the necessity for cautious consumption of herbal products and suggests further investigations into the long-term renal safety of these widely used herbal remedies.
Impact of Coastal Urbanization on Marine Diversity
Authors: Jawale Ratnamala S.
Published: November 2024

Worldwide coastal urbanization is major issues of concern due to its negative impact on the health of the marine and coastal ecosystem. Construction of aquaculture facilities, oil and gas platforms, submarine cables/pipes, wind farms, artificial shore defences, and port activity can cause coastal pollution and physical disturbances to the coastal margins. Coastal urbanisation cause drastic changes in land use, destruction of natural ecosystems, and increase in the demand for natural resources. Most of the world’s largest cities are located along coasts and cause changes in the size, composition, and distribution of human populations affecting coastal regions. Fishing or harvesting, the destruction of mangroves, and pollution and sedimentation from human activities all can affect the coastal environment. This study provides an illustrative and recent scientific account on the current status, major drivers, and impacts of coastal urbanization on marine diversity, sensitive coastal habitats, and severity of coastal pollution. For present review, bibliographic study was conducted using published literatures with the help of Internet search engines like Google, Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and ResearchGate. Results of the present study revealed that, construction of offshore infrastructure, coastal infrastructure, and facilities associated with ports, docks and marinas is responsible for overexploitation of both living and non-living resources, coastal pollution, and the wholesale conversion of natural habitats into a different state such as breakwaters, bridges, jetties, marinas, piers, port and harbour, reclaimed land, and seawalls. The study recommends the strict vigilance over the urban planning, civil and municipal engineering, and the design of coastal cities. Further, during coastal construction guidelines of Coastal Regulatory Zones should be properly followed for the protection and conservation of the most productive coastal ecosystem.
Neológia, hitéleti reneszánsz, belmisszió : Adalékok a Pécsi Izraelita Hitközség két világháború közötti történetéhez
Authors: Schweitzer Gábor
Published: November 2024

A Pécsi Izraelita Hitközség 1923-ban választotta meg főrabbijává a neológ irányvonalat követő Országos Rabbiképző Intézet egykori növendékét, Wallenstein Zoltánt (1898-1944), aki beiktatási beszédében a vallási reneszánsz szükségességét hirdette meg. Eddig nem ismert levéltári források alapján az derült ki, hogy Deutsch Zsigmond (1872-1948), a hitközség elnöke az 1929 és 1933 közötti időszakban egyre türelmetlenebbül sürgette a főrabbit, hogy a neológ hitélet megerősítése érdekében dolgozza ki a belmisszió részletes programját. A hívek óhajára hivatkozással a hitközség elnöke azt is elvárta a főrabbitól, hogy lényegesen többször prédikáljon. A tanulmány Wallenstein Zoltán pécsi főrabbivá választásának története mellett azt mutatja be, hogy a hitközség elnöke milyen területeken kívánt változásokat a hívek vallásosságának erősítése érdekében, és hogyan teljesítette a főrabbi ezeket az elvárásokat.

Published: November 2024

Leadership development and talent management are critical for organizational sustainability, yet they pose significant challenges in constrained resource settings. This paper examines key barriers such as limited funding, talent shortages, and inadequate infrastructure, highlighting their adverse effects on organizational performance and employee retention. Strategic human resource (HR) approaches are proposed to address these issues, including cost-effective leadership development frameworks, innovative recruitment and retention strategies, and succession planning initiatives. Technology, mentorship, and non-monetary incentives are emphasized in fostering employee engagement and enhancing leadership capacity. Additionally, the importance of external collaborations with governments, NGOs, and private sector entities is explored as a means to augment organizational resources. The paper concludes with practical recommendations for HR leaders and policymakers to implement sustainable talent management and leadership development strategies in resource-limited contexts. By adopting these measures, organizations can build resilient workforces, drive long-term success, and maintain operational effectiveness despite significant constraints.
The Moderated Mediating Effect of Parental Calling on the Relationship between Intolerance of Uncertainty, Parenting Anxiety, and Parental Burnout in Mothers of Children in Early Childhood (Ages Three to Five)
Authors: Jih Da Som , Oh Ji Hyun
Published: November 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the moderated mediating effects of parental calling on the relationship between mothers' intolerance of uncertainty, parenting anxiety, and parental burnout during the preschool years of children aged three to five.Methods: The sample consisted of 300 participants recruited through an online survey. Data were analyzed using SPSS 27 and Macro version 4.1 (Models 4 and 14).Results: The findings of the study are as follows: First, parenting anxiety was found to play a partial mediating role in the relationship between mothers' intolerance of uncertainty and parental burnout. Second, a significant moderated mediating effect of parental calling was observed in the pathway from intolerance of uncertainty to burnout via parenting anxiety.Conclusion: These study findings indicate that parental calling plays a crucial role in situations where elevated parenting anxiety resulting from mothers' low tolerance for uncertainty contributes to parental burnout. Therefore, focusing on enhancing parental calling may help mitigate parental burnout. Additionally, the role of parenting anxiety in the impact of intolerance of uncertainty on parental burnout should be emphasized. Furthermore, these findings suggest the need for developing parenting programs and counseling models based on parental calling, which are expected to serve as foundational data for parental education and counseling practices aimed at reducing parenting anxiety.

The article provides a brief analysis of the Armenian language. the origin of the words հագ- [hag-]‘breathing’ // հեգ- [heg] ‘syllable, articulation‘, Հայկ [Hayk] (այգ [ayg] "name of God (eponym)", "light", and ոգորիլ [ogoril] ‘fight, struggle, resist’: հագ- // հեգ- < IE *HeËg[h]o, Հայկ (այգ) < IE.*(H)aË-, ոգորիլ < IE * ú[[h]er-. The analysis is carried out on the basis of what has been done so far in the field of analysis and etymology of Armenian words, as well as data from similar works, written in recent years, with a new approach. These words are indigenous because they have reliable parallels both in predominantly Indo-European languages and partially in the languages of other tribes.

Анализ проводится на основе того, что было сделано до сих пор в области анализа и этимологии армянских слов, а также данных из аналогичных работ, написанных в последние годы, с новым подходом. Эти слова являются исконными, поскольку имеют надежные параллели как в преимущественно индоевропейских языках, так и частично в языках других племен

The nature of relationships and interactions between languages is also manifested through
borrowings. Borrowings are characteristic of all languages; they reflect not only linguistic, but
also historical, socio-psychological, cultural and civilizational elements that exist or existed
between the peoples of the donor and borrowing languages. Due to this studying borrowings
gains its interdisciplinary nature and importance.
The article examines indirectly borrowed Arabic words of the Armenian language
according to phonological patterns and features that are revealed by comparing the subsystems
of the donor language, the intermediary language and the borrowing language․
Характер взаимоотношений и взаимодействий между языками проявляется и через
заимствования. Заимствования характерны для всех языков, в них отражаются не только
языковые, но и исторические, социально-психологические, культурно-цивилизационные
элементы, которые существуют или существовали между языками донора и
заимствующего языков. С этим и связано междисциплинарный характер и важность
изучения заимствований.

O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) é um distúrbio neurológico que afeta o neurodesenvolvimento, a comunicação e a interação social, frequentemente subnotificado, o que resulta em dificuldades educacionais devido à falta de intervenções adequadas. Este estudo visa desenvolver uma ferramenta que possa auxiliar educadores na diagnose do TEA, utilizando algoritmos de Machine Learning para rastrear sinais do TEA em diferentes idades, com base em dados simples extraídos de três bases públicas. Essas bases foram pré-processadas e balanceadas usando a técnica SMOTE, e cinco algoritmos foram aplicados: Decision Tree, Random Forest, KNN, Naive Bayes e Deep Learning. O Random Forest destacou-se pelo desempenho superior, com alta acurácia e baixa incidência de erros. Os resultados sugerem que esses modelos podem ser ferramentas eficazes na triagem precoce de TEA, oferecendo suporte significativo para educadores.
