La concordancia de número en la morfología de las transiciones verbales del quechua ayacuchano
Authors: Martel Paredes Víctor Arturo
Published: January 2025

En este trabajo, mostramos que en el quechua ayacuchano se realiza el morfema de Número con información plural con uno de los Participantes del Acto de Habla (Hablante u Oyente) a través de la operación de Concordancia, y maximizará la satisfacción de rasgos de Persona a través de la Concordancia cíclica. No obstante, cuando deba concordar con ambos Participantes con información plural y estos pertenezcan a una posición alta en la Jerarquía de Persona, el núcleo borrará el rasgo específico de Oyente, a través de la operación de empobrecimiento de rasgos para poder concordar con ambos. Adicionalmente, explicaremos la ausencia de (1) concordancia de tercera persona objeto con el núcleo Número, pues aquel no es generado dentro de la FD; y (2) concordancia de tercera persona plural ante segunda persona singular, pues la concordancia accede a la información de Persona excepcionalmente como un caso de concordancia semántica y no sintáctica.

Published: January 2025

We report a case of a female patient in her 40s who presented with right upper quadrant pain and abdominal discomfort. Surgical removal was not possible due to the location of the lesion. Between 2021 and 2022, the patient had four additional sessions of conventional transarterial embolization (TAE) with Lipiodol, but none succeeded in sufficiently reducing the hemangioma's size or permanently improving the symptoms. In November 2022, we used transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with a Bleomycin-Lipiodol emulsion. Follow-up MRI scans showed a gradual reduction in the hemangioma volume, but the symptoms only improved partially. Hence, the patient underwent a second bleomycin TACE embolization in November 2023. By August 2024, control showed a total volume reduction of 409 cm³ (56%) and significant symptom improvement. This case demonstrates that Bleomycin-Lipiodol TACE can effectively reduce the size of giant liver hemangiomas, even after the failure of other interventional therapies.

Authors: Gunasundari K. , Kanimozhi V.
Published: January 2025

The rapid evolution of home technology has significantly altered consumer expectations and experiences, particularly in the Erode District, where next-gen home products are gaining prominence. This study delves into the complex dynamics of consumer satisfaction in the post-purchase phase of next-gen home products, aiming to unravel how product attributes, brand perception, and the efficiency of support services influence consumer contentment. The study also reveals a significant consumer preference for product customisation and the essential role of straightforward installation services. Furthermore, warranty, price, and brand reputation emerge as influential factors in shaping consumer satisfaction. Notably, a substantial correlation between satisfaction with product attributes and support services suggests an intertwined relationship affecting consumer satisfaction levels. The study recommends manufacturers and service providers to prioritise key areas such as security, ongoing product improvements, and personalised consumer experiences to enhance satisfaction. Additionally, it highlights the necessity for robust customer support and active engagement strategies to address consumer needs effectively

Authors: Musugu Srinivasa Rao
Published: January 2025

Numismatics is the study of coins. It is one of the chief sources for the study of the ancient, medieval and modern history of India. During the last two hundred years quite a large number of coins have been discovered in various parts of the country including Andhra Pradesh. A good number of early Indian coins have also been found in Amaravathi, Nagarjunakonda, Yeleswaram, Chebrolu, Dhulikatta, Kotilingala, Maski, Kondapur, Machilipatnam, Ghantasala, Nagarjunakonda (Vijayapuri) and Vidhyadharapuram in Vijayawada. All these coins are exhibited in museums in various places like site museums, district museums, regional museums, state museums and national museums. The coins shall give information about the dynasty, the significance of the family members and chronology. Titles of the Kings, their hobbies, historical importance, king-wise information, socio-economic, religious and financial status. Sometimes the Numismatics evidence forms the only source for the reconstruction of Indian History.

Published: January 2025

This article is a report on ethnographic research regarding the social da'wah services of four religious figures, namely Kiai Ghofur, Gus Samsudin, Gus Idris, and Ustadz Ujang Busthomi. The study focuses on analyzing the process of demythologization in the social da'wah services they provide, particularly concerning the integration of religion, rationality, and the needs of modern society. The results indicate a shift from magical elements to a more rational approach in their social da'wah services, integrating religious literacy and faith-moral therapy with social, economic, and health solutions. These kiai emphasize the relevance of religion to the needs of modern society, the strengthening of social cohesion, and the importance of responding to contemporary challenges. This study identifies four main themes: the transformation of religious practices, the integration of social needs and the community, inclusivity and egalitarianism in social services, and social empowerment and stability.

The rapid increase in urbanization and vehicular traffic has led to severe congestion, accidents, and
inefficient transportation systems in many cities. To address these challenges, this paper presents a smart traffic
monitoring system that leverages Artificial Intelligence for real-time traffic management and optimization. The system
integrates computer vision, deep learning, and sensor data to monitor traffic flow, identify congestion patterns, and
predict traffic trends. By utilizing AI algorithms such as convolutional neural networks for object detection and
reinforcement learning for traffic signal optimization, the system enhances the efficiency of traffic management while
reducing waiting times and fuel consumption. The proposed solution can dynamically adjust signal timings, detect
anomalies, and provide insights for urban planning and policy-making. Additionally, the system is scalable, adaptable
to different cities, and can be integrated with existing infrastructure to create a seamless smart city ecosystem. This
approach not only improves traffic flow but also contributes to environmental sustainability and the overall quality of
life for urban residents
CONTENT ANALYSIS IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF BARDIN: CONTRIBUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS FOR QUALITATIVE RESEARCH IN EDUCATION
Authors: VALLE PAULO ROBERTO DALLA , FERREIRA JACQUES DE LIMA
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT: Content analysis refers to a set of techniques through which data can be analyzed. It is widely used in qualitative research, particularly in investigations in the field of education, as it is an effective method for understanding content that is not always explicit in discourse (whether it be a text, gesture, or utterance of a phrase, that is, any form of communication). This article aims to describe the methods and techniques of content analysis from Bardin's (2016) perspective, highlighting its contributions and limitations for qualitative approaches in education. This study employs a qualitative approach of a bibliographical nature, based on articles and books that address the topic. From Bardin’s perspective, content analysis offers several important contributions to qualitative research in education, including systematic and rigorous data analysis, a deeper understanding of the phenomena studied, a flexible and adaptable approach, the possibility of identifying gaps in the literature, and data triangulation. However, the main limitations of content analysis for qualitative education research include the risk of reductionism, excessive subjectivity when constructing categories, difficulty in dealing with non-textual data, and limitations in generalizing results. Researchers must be aware of these limitations when using content analysis in their research.
Cancelling: debate ou censura? O liberalismo de John Stuart Mill e a cultura de cancelamento
Authors: Neves Catarina
Published: January 2025

Resumo: Apesar da grande cobertura mediática, a cultura de cancelar tende a ser pouco analisada em publicações científicas. O presente artigo discute a legitimadade do cancelling, argumentando que pode (1) regular condutas sociais e, (2) que é um ato de expressão utilizada por grupos minoritários no espaço público. Olhando para a teoria de John Stuart Mill, (1) é rejeitado, devido aos riscos de difamação, mas também à dificuldade de aplicação do princípio do dano, largamente indefinido. Por outro lado, é reconhecida a possibilidade de legitimar o cancelamento graças a (2), embora existam riscos relacionados com conformismo e empoderamento da polícia social. O artigo termina com um apelo para mais trabalho sobre o tema, mas refletindo que apesar dos apelos ao fim do cancelamento, tendo por base os valores da liberdade de expressão, a complexidade do fenômeno faz com que mesmo Mill possa ser utilizado para legitimar o cancelling.

Abstract The lignocellulosic materials of some plant species are rich in chemical compounds that can serve as a source of natural and environmentally less aggressive biocides for treating wood. The aim of this study was to verify the potential of the lignocellulosic materials (wood and bark) of Ateleia glazioviana and Hovenia dulcis as a natural wood preservative. The extracts were prepared by heating the materials to 100 °C at a concentration of 10%. The wood samples were treated in a laboratory autoclave using the empty cell method. Control samples (untreated) and samples treated with chromated copper borate - CCB (2.5%) were used as a comparison. The accelerated rot test in the laboratory was carried out using a sample of the colony of the white rot fungus, Trametes versicolor. Mass loss, solubility in 1% NaOH, scanning electron spectroscopy (SEM) and attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) were evaluated. A rotting field test was also carried out in a forest fragment for 180 days and the mass loss, apparent specific mass, ATR-FTIR, and dynamic bending of the wood samples were evaluated. In laboratory tests, natural extractive solutions from the bark and wood of Hovenia dulcis and only from the bark of Ateleia glazioviana have fungitoxic potential against the white rot fungus, when compared to material without preservative impregnations. The resistance of the wood in the field to rot did not obtain significant results with the application of the natural preservatives, and future studies will need to increase the concentration of the extracts in an attempt to improve their performance as natural biocides.

Published: January 2025

Abstract Wood and wood-based materials are commonly used for storage, but their surfaces are prone to biodegradation by microorganisms, especially fungi. This study focuses on the microbial communities on pine wood storage boxes treated with an anti-termite and mold solution in a tropical region in Dong Nai, Vietnam. We isolated 13 fungal strains from these surfaces and classified them into six genera: Rhizopus, Aspergillus, Fusarium, Curvularia, Penicillium, and Trichoderma. Enzyme activity tests revealed that strains Curvularia eragrostidis TD4.2 and Aspergillus sydowii TD5 were the most effective producers of cellulase, amylase, and laccase. Shotgun metagenomics analysis of the biological sample of the discolored surface of pine storage boxes indicated that Ascomycota was the dominant phylum, with Dothideomycetes and Sordariomycetes as the prevalent class. Aureobasidium (0.33%) and Chaetomium (1.1%) were the most abundant genera in the Dothideomycetes and Sordariomycetes, respectively. This research illustrates the complexity of microbial communities on wood surfaces, providing insights into the fungal dynamics affecting wooden storage materials in tropical climates.
Potenciais da comercialização de produtos brasileiros da floricultura nos mercados doméstico e externo
Authors: Silva Adriana Ferreira , Silva Rodrigo Peixoto da , Machado Gabriel Costeira , Fachinello Arlei Luiz , Castro Nicole Rennó
Published: January 2025

Resumo Este estudo contrapõe os potenciais estratégicos dos mercados interno e externo como propulsores da cadeia brasileira de flores e plantas ornamentais. Diferentemente de outras cadeias agropecuárias brasileiras, que se destacam pelos volumes exportados, os produtos da floricultura têm como principal destino o mercado interno. Com apenas 3% da produção destinada ao comércio externo, o País ocupa uma posição global inexpressiva, figurando, em 2020, no 97º lugar na lista de exportadores de produtos da floricultura. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, foi realizada uma análise do tipo Facts Finding Research acerca da dinâmica e da potencialidade da demanda pelos produtos brasileiros da cadeia de flores e plantas ornamentais. Os resultados indicam que, apesar das projeções positivas para o consumo doméstico de produtos da floricultura, a sensibilidade às variações de renda pode representar um gargalo. Compreende-se, portanto, que os potenciais ganhos provenientes do intercâmbio de mercadorias entre países, além de favorecerem a expansão do mercado e o escoamento de excedentes, desempenham um papel estratégico diante de adversidades. Sob a ótica internacional, destaca-se ainda que o movimento de reconfiguração desse cenário, marcado pelo aumento da participação de países sul-americanos e africanos, pode também representar novas oportunidades para o Brasil.
Low Carbon Brazilian Beef: challenges in sustainable production and conscious consumption among consumers in Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Lopes Carla Machado de Araujo , Cheung Thelma Lucchese , Andrade Juliana Cunha de , Deliza Rosires
Published: January 2025

Resumo A percepção e a intenção de compra em relação à “Carne Baixo Carbono (CBC)” foi avaliada através de uma pesquisa online com 851 consumidores de carne bovina residentes no estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Foi utilizado a Associação Livre de Palavras, solicitando que os participantes descrevessem as primeiras quatro palavras que lhes viessem à mente diante do estímulo “CBC”. Em seguida, a análise conjunta foi empregada para investigar a intenção de compra de carne bovina, considerando diferentes fatores no rótulo, em duas condições experimentais: Com e sem informação sobre a definição da CBC. As associações ao meio ambiente foram mais relatadas por mulheres, pessoas de 46 a 65 anos, com maior nível educacional e renda familiar. O acesso à informação sobre CBC aumentou a intenção de compra, mas o preço foi o fator que mais determinou essa intenção. A alegação de sustentabilidade e bem-estar animal foram atributos percebidos positivamente. No entanto, constatamos que os consumidores não relacionam os aspectos ambientais à qualidade sensorial da carne. Ações incisivas de comunicação deverão ser criadas para desconstruir a percepção do consumidor de que o avanço da pecuária sustentável não impactará negativamente no sabor da carne e, consequentemente, no bem-estar do próprio consumidor.

Authors: Mohamad Noraini , Hui Goh Pin , Ahmad Wan Muhamad Amir Wan , Yudin Zainab Mat
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the association between oral health-related symptoms and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among diabetic patients. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 202 diabetic patients. The Malay version of the Short Oral Health Impact Profile [S-OHIP(M)] questionnaire was used to assess OHRQoL. A higher S-OHIP(M) score indicates greater oral impact and worse OHRQoL. The prevalence of oral impact was determined by the percentage of participants who reported experiencing one or more impacts ‘very often’ or ‘fairly often’. An additional self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain perceived oral health symptoms. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, independent t-test, and ANOVA. Results: 45.6% of respondents reported at least one oral health symptom. The most common symptoms were bad breath (30.2%), cavities (29.7%), and toothache (16.8%). The prevalence of oral impact was 33.7%, and the total mean S-OHIP(M) score was 6.15 (SD=6.09). The mean of the S-OHIP(M) score was significantly higher in participants with toothache, cavities, sore gums, swollen gums, bleeding gums, mobile teeth, and bad breath. Conclusion: Oral health symptoms are significantly associated with poorer OHRQoL among diabetic patients. Preventive care and timely treatment of oral health issues are critical to improving the overall quality of life and well-being of this population.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the prevalence and determine the factors associated with Internet Addiction among Indian dental students. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 250 dental students from different academic years of the Institute of Dental Sciences, Bhubaneswar. Information on demographic characteristics, purpose, and duration of Internet use was recorded. Internet Addiction was assessed using Young’s 20-item Internet Addiction Test (IAT) questionnaire. Chi-square, One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson’s Correlation tests were used for statistical analysis. The level of significance was set at p≤0.05. Results: The prevalence of Internet Addiction was found to be 20.4%. Third-year students showed the highest mean Internet Addiction (46.74 ± 10.26) score. Social networking was the main purpose of Internet use. Bivariate analysis showed that daily hours of Internet use were strongly associated with Internet Addiction, which was statistically significant (p=0.033). The major domains identified in our study towards the contribution of Internet Addiction were Dependence (10.74 ± 2.79) followed by Overuse (10.52 ± 2.58), Emotional state (9.70 ± 3.10), Inhibiting the Flow of Life (8.16 ± 2.74) and Non-restraint (6.37 ± 1.98). Conclusion: Internet Addiction often coexists with other psychological problems. Therefore, early interventions should be implemented, and students should be aware of the adverse effects of spending unnecessary time online.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate dental trauma care including teledentistry use by Brazilian pediatric dentists in the early pandemic period (2020/2021). Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study, collected through a self-administered online survey, sociodemographic characteristics, use of teledentistry as a resource for remote Traumatic Dental Injuries (TDIs) care, and variables regarding trauma, such as etiology and type of trauma. Data were described by frequencies and analyzed with the chi-square test. Results: Of 374 pediatric dentists, 323 attended TDIs during the pandemic period. Majority of the participants were women (88.5%). Associations were found between some characteristics of pediatric dentists with having attended dental trauma, specifically age 21-39 years (p=0.001) and graduation time (p<0.00l). TDI appointments increased compared to the pre-pandemic period. Teledentistry was used as a valuable resource for remote orientation and monitoring patients who suffered TDIs. Etiology and trauma types remained the same compared to the period before the pandemic. Conclusion: Teledentistry was a useful resource for guidance and monitoring trauma. However, to be implemented in daily practice, it is necessary to develop regulatory norms.

Authors: Belém Fernanda Vieira , Bendo Cristiane Baccin , Paschoal Marco Aurélio Benini
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the preference of parents/caregivers and their children regarding using colored compomer (Twinky Star®, Voco, Germany) as a restorative option and factors associated with its choice. Material and Methods: A dental mannequin containing colored compomers and traditional materials (composite resin, glass ionomer cement, and amalgam) was presented to 260 pairs of adults and children aged 5-11 years, who were examined for dental caries to verify the preference of dental materials in two public health services. The parenting style and child personality profiles were assessed. Bivariate analysis and Poisson regression were performed. Results: Most adults (74.2%) preferred traditional materials, and family income (p=0.00l) and educational level (p<0.001) were associated with this choice. Age up to 7 (p<0.001) was a variable associated with children’s choice of colored restorations (72.3%). Children younger than seven years old showed a prevalence of choosing colored compomers 1.20 times higher than their older counterparts. In contrast, adults with children younger than seven years old and less than 11 years of education presented 1.74 and 2.17 higher prevalence of choosing colored compomers, respectively. Conclusion: Caregivers with higher educational levels showed more excellent resistance to colored restorations, and children younger than seven years old had better acceptance of the material with playful proposals.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the impact of social distancing and academic circumstances on the self-reported mental health of dental professors and students of master’s and doctorate programs in Brazil during pandemic. Material and Methods: Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaires between September 2020 to January 2021 for students (n=314) and professors (n=294). The survey consisted of 42 questions related to: 1) sociodemographic characteristics; 2) circumstances during the COVID-19 pandemic; 3) academic circumstances; and 4) Brazilian version of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Data were analyzed by Chi-squared statistical test and multiple logistic regression model (α=0.0S). Results: The students had higher levels of self-perception of DASS-21 symptoms compared to professors. Being part of the COVID-19 risk group contributed positively for professors’ anxiety. The satisfaction with productivity and pressure to publish papers increased the likelihood of depression and stress for both groups. For students, not having children decreased the likelihood for depression and stress and being married increased the likelihood of DASS-21 symptoms for professors. Conclusion: The social isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the self-reported mental health of dental graduate program members, mainly associated with being married and in the risk group, and being under pressure to publish papers.

Através da análise de DRX observou-se que todas as amostras exibiram picos de quartzo em posições entre 2θ = 20º e 30º, comprovando a presença de fases cristalinas, todavia, os geopolímeros produzidos com silicato de sódio apresentaram picos com maior intensidade. Nenhuma das pastas geopoliméricas executadas apresentaram formação de eflorescências visuais. Por meio do ensaio mecânico, foi possível determinar que os geopolímeros que apresentaram as melhores resistências à compressão média foram os produzidos com a mistura KOH + SS. A temperatura de cura que gerou melhores resultados foi a de 40 ºC.

Abstract : The skill development of doctoral researchers has been the subject of several research studies conducted in the last few decades. However, there's been a dearth of a systematic literature review in the literature pertaining to doctoral researchers. Hence, the aim of this first-of-its-kind SLR on doctoral researchers belonging to STEM, Management, and Humanities is to analyse skills needed for doctoral researchers by preparing a consolidated list of skills along with their rankings. This SLR has also highlighted the limitations of the research methodology used in the studies and the implications for the stakeholders involved in the process of researcher development. This systematic literature review (SLR) included 48 empirical and theoretical research studies synthesized in a comprehensive manner, and the findings revealed: a) a consolidated list of 35 skills along with their rankings for doctoral researchers; b) 40% studies had a sample size below 50, and there's a dearth of studies having a mixed method approach; c) the formulation of a list of skills can help the stakeholders design and incorporate programs to inculcate these skills in doctoral researchers and ensure successful completion of PhD, reduce attrition rates, and increase researchers' employment in academia and industry. It is recommended that future studies have a standalone SLR with empirical studies for doctoral researchers to lend credibility, validity, and generalizability to the study and produce standard results. Additionally, preparing a similar standalone study for researchers belonging to STEM, Management, and Humanities is recommended.

A honeymoon is a special experience in our lives, as it is not just a trip but also the first journey that we take as a couple after completingtheimportant rite of passage calledawedding. This study focused on the unique experience of a honeymoon, which stands out as a once-in-a-lifetime event compared to other types of travel. The goal was to explore the relationship between past honeymoon experiences, marital satisfaction, and subjective well-being in individuals' current lives. The study examined 400 participants who had gone on a honeymoon, either in Korea or abroad, withinthe pastfive years and who were currently married. The results showed that a memorable honeymoon experience did not directly impact marital satisfaction or subjective well-being. However, it positively influenced both marital satisfaction and subjective well-being through the memories of the honeymoon experieence. Notably, this relationship was fully mediated by how individuals remembered their honeymoon experiences. Therefore, understanding honeymoon memories is crucial for enhancing marital satisfaction and subjective well-being.
Religion Behind Bars: Faith-based Programs in the Rehabilitation of Offenders in the Medium B Westville Correctional Center, Durban
Authors: Khan Sultan
Published: January 2025

In order to maintain social control and order, several authors perceive religion to be a significant aspect of societal life (Akhverdiev & Ponomarev 2008:1; Stark & Bainbridge 2012:1; Welch, Tittle, & Grasmick 2006:1605). The right to religious practice is considered vital in almost all societies. There is a body of research that suggests that a decline in religious conformity erodes the moral fabric of society and hence perceives its decline to contribute to social degeneration leaving society in a state of disarray (Nwube & Edigbo 2023; Ezeonwumelu 2021; Sekhaulelo 2021; Dick, Ede, & Chiaghanam 2020; Nikolova 2018). A deviation from religious norms and values at an individual level is known to result in anomic behavior ensuing conflict with the law. On the contrary, religious fundamentalism is also known to be contributing to hostility, violence, lawlessness, harmful behavior, and social instability (Gorur & Gregory 2021; Wright & Khoo 2019; Sulaiman 2016; VanAernum 2014). It is in this context that this article reviews religious practices and beliefs among male offenders and its role in rehabilitating their deviant behavior so that they may self-actualize to become good citizens upon release in the South African society. Notwithstanding, the study provides very little support on the notion that correctional centers' inspired faith-based programs indeed impact prosocial behavior as offenders engage with their respective religious belief systems as individuals. This finding refutes the notion contained in the literature study that avers that correctional centers' inspired faith-based programs do in fact yield prosocial behavior.
Mathematics club learners' mathematical identities: Narratives of learners and their class teacher
Authors: Gweshe Lovejoy Comfort
Published: January 2025

Research into mathematics clubs has shown that learners enjoy mathematics in the clubs more than in their regular classrooms, while research on mathematical identities has shown a relationship between learners' mathematical identities and classroom practices. Bringing these two ideas together, I investigated learners' mathematical identities in a mathematics club and their regular mathematics classrooms. I used a mixed-methods design to explore the mathematical identities of learners who participated in an after-school mathematics club. The learners responded to a mathematical identity questionnaire before they started in an after-school mathematics club and after the club ended. Some learners were purposively selected to respond to two semi-structured interviews, one before and one after participating in the club activities. A teacher who was teaching the interviewed learners responded to a semi-structured interview about their mathematical identities in class after they had participated in the club activities. Two paired samples t-test analyses of the questionnaire responses show a statistically significant difference between the learners' mathematical identity scores before and after participating in the club activities. Interview findings show that the learners' mathematical identities were supported through participating in the mathematics club, which encouraged mutual engagement, meaning-making, and a sense of belonging. The teacher observed changes in the learners' participation in the class, suggesting that participation in a mathematics club that supports strong mathematical identities can influence participation in the mathematics classroom.
Evolution of classroom languaging over the years: Prospects for teaching mathematics differently
Authors: Sibanda Jabulani , Chikiwa Clemence
Published: January 2025

In this theoretical paper, we trace diverse language practices representative of equally diverse conceptions of language. To be dynamic with languaging, one should appreciate nuanced languaging practices, their challenges, and prospects. Here, we present what we envision as three major conceptions of language that give impetus to diverse language practices. We examine theoretical models of the bilingual mental lexicon and how they inform languaging practices that have been promulgated and experimented with over the years. We proceed on the premise that interactive and dynamic languaging depends on one's nuanced beliefs, assumptions, and understandings of the concept of language, how languaging has evolved over the years, and the diverse learner profiles and the linguistic resources they bring. Because languaging is an evolving phenomenon, it is disruptive and fluid since it responds to the complexities of human experience and socio-cultural, technological, and environmental shifts characterising those experiences. Languaging offers prospects for creativity and innovation, as well as linguistic flexibility. Using mathematics as a proxy for languaging, we advocate for the deployment of multisensory semiotic systems to complement linguistic classroom communication and an acknowledgment of the validity of learners' linguistic and semiotic resources in the learning enterprise. We demonstrate how many different linguistic, semiotic, and symbolic resources converge in classroom languaging, and how dynamic languaging has a constant and dialogic shift between and among known languages, and between formal and informal language in a fluid nature. We recommend the enactment of specific multimodal languaging clauses in education policies and curriculum documents that empower classroom interactants to exercise discretion in languaging practices.
