To date, according to the WHO estimates, every sixth person in the world faces the problem of infertility, while the contribution of the male factor is, according to various sources, from 30 to 50%. Understanding the cellular and molecular processes that lead to spermatozoa motility is necessary for accurate diagnosis and finding solutions to this problem. The purpose of the review is to analyze and evaluate current data on the problem of spermatozoa hyperactivation, the causes of its violation, molecular mechanisms and prognostic value. Materials and methods. Domestic and foreign sources of literature dated from 1987 to 2022 were used, they were taken from electronic libraries of scientific publications and medical databases, in particular "CyberLeninka", "Google Academy", "ScienceResearch", Elibrary.ru and PubMed. The review included the sources relevant to the topic of this review, which were searched using keywords such as spermatozoid, hyperactivation, infertility, fertilization. Research results. Hyperactivation of spermatozoa is one of the factors that ensure fertilization. This is a Ca2+ and energy-dependent process due to the normal operation of CatSper and KSper channels, as well as cAMP-, cGMP-dependent, potential-dependent channels. In the absence of the SLC9A10 gene in male mice, spermatozoa mature immobile, despite satisfactory spermatogenesis. The control units in the sperm flagella, consisting of CatSper, SLC9A10 and ABHD2, located on the surface, are necessary to ensure rapid signal transmission and coordinated control of complex cellular movement (hyperactivation and rotation). Conclusions. The motility of spermatozoa acquired during their hyperactivation is a vital functional characteristic that determines the ability of male germ cells to penetrate and migrate both into the cervical mucus and into the oocyte membrane (and ultimately fertilize it). Violation of hyperactivation processes or its absence can result in fertilization failure and, in consequence of, be one of the causes of infertility in a couple.

The objectives of this study are; 1) to find out the significant difference of student’s writing achievement between those who were taught through the modified roundtable technique with a picture based on the process approach and original roundtable technique, and 2) to find out the difference of students’ perceptions between those techniques. A quantitative and qualitative study in the form of control group pretest-posttest design was conducted which involved two classes; each class consisted of 21 students of MTSS Darul Huffazh, Pesawaran, Indonesia. The data were analyzed through the independent t-test. The results show that the students’ writing achievement in the experimental class increased from 38.76 to 68.95 and there is a significant difference with the sig. (2 tailed) of 0.00 < 0.05. The result in the control class also increased from 37.81 to 49.05 and there is a significant difference with the sig. (2 tailed) of 0.00 < 0.05. Meanwhile, the result of the significance value of the experimental class and the control class is 0.00 < α = 0.05. This indicates that there is a significant difference in students’ writing achievement between the students who were taught using the modified roundtable technique with pictures and the original roundtable technique. Meanwhile, for the second research question, the researcher used a questionnaire measured using a five-range Likert scale and analyzed through the independent t-test. The results show that there was a significant difference in the students’ perceptions. The positive responses of students toward the modified roundtable technique with pictures are 74.28% and 70.95% toward the original roundtable technique. The findings suggest that language teachers need to provide other media to help students find new information easily. In conclusion, learning using modifying roundtable technique with pictures is more effective on students’ writing achievement than those who were taught through the original roundtable technique.

Vocal Gestures and Interjections as Part of the Speech Portrait of the Characters in Bulgarian Cartoons
Authors:   Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski, Petrova Krasimira
Published: April 2024

Initial ideas for a multi-aspect analysis of vocal gestures (as an indication of a physiological reaction) and interjections (as linguistic signs) in the Bulgarian language on material from Bulgarian cartoons (The Three Fools by D. Donev) are presented. Intonational layout, gestural accompaniment, context and situational conditioning help to identify the meaning and disambiguate vocal gestures. Cartoons are used as an analogue of the multimodal Russian corpus as a source of illustrative examples. E. I. Grishina's methodology for describing vocal gestures in the Russian language and the possibilities of its application for the analysis of similar units in Bulgarian cartoons are examined. A classification of verbal gestures is presented, consisting of three groups: 1) exclamations, 2) interjections, 3) particles. Examples from cartoons can be used as illustrative material. They have a significant hitherto unused research, scientific-applied, linguistic didactic potential.

Authors: Jarjis Khalaf Saleh Firas , Omar Al Amr Saja
Published: April 2024

Contracts and deals are concluded through the Internet using computers, laptops, or any other electronic device. These contracts have been increasing day after day, and have been able to overcome the barriers of space and time by reaching most global markets in moments without moving across borders, but rather through websites. And browse through it. The electronic contract is a contract that knows no borders, which poses difficulties regarding determining the moment of its conclusion and the place of its holding, especially in the event of a difference in the nationality of the contracting parties. This led to a problem regarding determining the law applicable to these contracts, which are characterized by privacy because they are concluded via the Internet and the virtual contract council. Also, the connection between the conflict of laws and the conflict of jurisdiction has led to problems in determining the court competent to hear disputes related to these contracts, as these two issues are related to the electronic contract tainted by a foreign element.

Natural Language Processing for Social Media Data Mining
Authors: BOUCHEHAM Anouar
Published: April 2024

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on the interaction between human languages (text) and computers. It involves preprocessing and analyzing textual data, building language models, and applying algorithms to derive insights and perform language-related tasks which allows transforming the treatment of text data to an intelligent and automatic process. In recent years, online social networking has revolutionized interpersonal communication which has led to the generation of a huge amount of data related to this field. NLP enable computers to understand, interpret, and generate content from various new media sources data in a way that is meaningful and useful. Now, Natural language processing (NLP) is one of the most promising avenues for social media data processing, such as “Sentiment analysis”, “Text classification and topic modelling”, “Named entity recognition”, “Language generation”, “Social network analysis”. Through this research work, we discuss the importance and challenges of using NLP in social studies, especially social networks

The Role of Cohesion in Text Organization
Authors: Jabur JINAM Eman
Published: April 2024

Cohesion is the relations of meaning, the connections or the ties which exist within a text and provide the semantic unity required in the structure of that text. The semantic unity is expressed, partly through the grammatical resources and partly through the vocabulary. There are two kinds of cohesive ties: grammatical such as reference, ellipsis, substitution, conjunctions, and lexical, including reiteration and collocation. This paper aims at giving learners and researchers beneficial analysis about cohesion in English and its fundamental importance in organizing any text. The paper is composed of three sections. The first section is a theoretical review that analyses the concept of cohesion in English language, giving its general meaning and shedding light on its different aspects. The second section is concerned with cohesion in academic writing and how it is used in organizing academic texts. The last section deals with cohesion and connectivity. The paper ends up with some concluding remarks such as the following: 1. It outlines that cohesion is a vivid factor in text creation without which a passage will be in name but not in content. In other words, without appropriate cohesive links, ties and chains, a text cannot have the bond in bringing together central sentences, omitting marginal ones, and the capacity of producing a meaningful text. 2. It presents that cohesion is a common and required phenomenon in any of the world’s languages because communication is broken down and blocked when cohesion is lost in languages.

A Rhetorical Study of the Effect of Repeated Question in Surah Al-Rahman
Authors: Najm Abed Israa
Published: April 2024

This study sheds light on Mitchel's Meyer "Of Problematology" approach which provides a unique perspective on knowledge in a problematic world. Meyer established a questioning approach based on two principles. The first principle is the hypothetical principle, which involves analysing statements. The second principle is the stylistics principle. These principles are rooted in the cognitive starting points and philosophical foundations that Meyer relied on. The current study aims at: identifying the contribution of repetition of the question “Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?” to the overall rhetorical effectiveness of Surah Al-Rahman; examining the relationship between the rhetorical meaning of the question and the number of repetitions of the question in the surah; showing the type of verses that were followed by the question: “Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?”; Pinpointing why is the question stated in the dual form and who it intended for are. This research finds that the repetition of the question “Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?” in Surah Al-Rahman serves to emphasize and highlight the blessings and favors of Allah, leading to increased gratitude and reflection in the reader or listener. The repetitive structure of Surah AlRahman, specifically focusing on the rhetorical device of repetition, contributes to its rhetorical effectiveness by creating a powerful and engaging impact on the audience.
A Critical Stylistic Study of Family- Children Aggressive Speech in the Bluest Eye
Authors: Hameed Mayuuf Hussain
Published: April 2024

This study applies Critical Stylistics in analyzing aggressive speech by adapting Jeffries (2010) model as the analytical framework within Toni Morrison's novel, The Bluest Eye. Due to the fact that aggression is a critical social behavior, it is studied in terms of linguistics, pragmatics, and even critical pragmatics however it is not tackled from a critical stylistic perspective. Thus, the study under scrutiny deals with aggression as a domestic and social behavior from a CS perspective aspiring to answer the questions of: 1. how aggressive language is displayed in parents-children communication through a critical stylistic standpoint? 2. What are the stylistic tools used in the novel to express the ideological effects? The study aims to investigate the linguistic markers of aggressiveness, contextual significance, and their influence on character development and interactions. It is hypothesized that: 1. Aggressive language has a major role in shaping character dynamics and the narrative. 2. Aggressive language is realized via two levels: ideational level and textual level to reveal the ideological effects. The study contributes to a nuanced understanding of language's portrayal of aggression and its implications in the context of the novel. It also reveals that aggression can be seen as a critical social behavior practiced by the aggressor for a particular reason such as want, desire, need or because of the psychological state of the aggressor
Identification of Damage in a Wind Turbine Blade Using Mechanical Measurements and Artificial Neural Networks
Authors: Koutsianitis Panagiotis , Paterakis Manolis , E. Stavroulakis Georgios
Published: April 2024

Due to the stochastic nature of environmental loadings, a lot of interest is paid in the discovery of possible damages to the involved equipment in modern industry. In wind turbines' blades, the development of a smart structural health monitoring system is essential. In this paper, a large-scale composite wind turbine blade model is designed and used for the detection of several damage scenarios. The process is mainly based on the development of monitoring techniques that exploit the capabilities of artificial neural networks. These techniques can provide the exact position of possible damages, under given external loading scenarios. Moreover, the use -of such methods decreases significantly the need for external intervention and at the same time it increases the accuracy of the whole approach. The above processes are simulated using the finite element method. The goal is to develop a neural network that realizes the correlation of measurements with damage patterns. The goal is focused on the solution of inverse problems involving elastically deformable structures, based on remote mechanical measurements. The correlation between measurements and damages, which is much more complicated in comparison to image analysis, is studied by means of neural networks.

A Smart Food Donation System using Mobile Technology to Reduce Food Waste
Authors: Mr K Pazhanivel  , Dr. G NanthaKumar  , K Bala  , S Guhan  , K Jagadesh  , S Praveen
Published: April 2024

Food wastage is a significant global challenge, with approximately one third of food produced for human consumption, amounting to 1.3 billion tonnes, being lost or wasted according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the UN. In India, around 40% of food produced goes to waste, with sources such as weddings, events, restaurants, hostels, and households contributing substantially to this issue. Numerous non-profit organizations in India are actively working to combat hunger, malnutrition, and food wastage by collecting surplus food and distributing it to those in need. This proposed project aims to tackle urban excess food waste and hunger-related deaths by developing an innovative application designed to manage a cooked food supply chain. Using an ERP model, this application will facilitate the connection between surplus and deficient food resources within a community network. The system will empower administrators to oversee donor and recipient details, evaluate hotels based on their contributions and feedback, and coordinate logistics effectively. Trusts and recipients will have the ability to register, locate nearby food resources through a matching algorithm, select and request food, engage in direct communication with donors, and provide valuable feedback. Donors will be able to register, input available food details, respond to requests, and communicate with trusts and recipients. Furthermore, employees and delivery personnel will have the tools to register, manage pickups and deliveries, and provide timely notifications upon completion. This comprehensive approach aims to establish an efficient and transparent solution for the redistribution of surplus food resources, ultimately contributing to the reduction of food waste and alleviation of hunger in communities
Re-Centering Libya’s History: Mediterranean Bulwark, Defender of Africa, or Bridge between Continents?
Authors: Krais Jakob
Published: April 2024

This paper discusses Libya’s geo-historical identity from the Italian colonial period until the end of the Qaddafi regime. It specifically looks at characterizations of the country as Mediterranean or African in the different periods. By examining the historiographic discourse in Italian and Arabic as well as the political aesthetics and symbolisms connected with the colonial and the Qaddafi regime, respectively, the article shows how varying characterizations were linked to geo-political agendas. Finally, it presents a third characterization: that of Libya as a connecting link between regions and continents, which has become prominent in more recent times. يناقش هذا البحث الهوية الجغرافية التاريخية الليبية بدءاً بالإحتلال الإيطالي حتى فترة نهاية حكم القذافي. وتختص الدراسة بالنظر إلى خصائص ليبيا كدولة أفريقية وشرق أوسطية في فترات زمنية مختلفة. بعد تفحيص سياق التأريخ بالإيطالية والعربية، بالإضافة إلى الجماليات السياسية والرمزية المرتبطة بعهدي الإحتلال والقذافي على التوالي، فإن الدراسة تظهر أنً خصائص مختلفة ترتبط بأجندات سياسية-جغرافية. وتقدم هذه الدراسة .خاصية ثالثة: ليبيا أصبحت حديثا حلقة وصل بين مناطق وقارات بصورة واضحة

Neoliberal dönüşüm kamu tarafından sağlanan hizmetlerin giderek özel sektör aracılığıyla sunulmasına yol açmıştır. Refah devleti dönemindeki devletin kamu hizmetleri sunumundaki etkinliği neoliberal dönemle birlikte değişmiştir. Kamu hizmetleri “sınırlı devlet sınırsız piyasa” anlayışıyla yerine getirilmeye başlarken devletin çekildiği alanlar ise gittikçe piyasa ilişkilerine konu olmaktadır. Piyasa ilişkilerine konu olan kamu hizmetleri kentsel alanda da etkisini göstermiştir. Yerel yönetimler tarafından sunulan yerel kamu hizmetleri giderek artan bir şekilde özelleştirme politikalarına konu olmuştur. Özelleştirme uygulamaları belediyelerin görev ve sorumluluğunda olan yerel kamu hizmetlerinin sunumunda etkisini göstermekte ve belediyelerin sorumluluğunda olan yerel kamu hizmetleri giderek özel sektör tarafından yerine getirilmektedir. Ancak yerel kamu hizmetlerinin özel sektör aracılığıyla yerine getirilmesinin yaygınlaşması vatandaş üzerinde olumsuz etkilere neden olmaktadır. Çalışmada neoliberal dönüşüm sonrası yerel kamu hizmetlerinin piyasa ilişkilerine konu olmasında yaşanan artış sonucu yerel kamu hizmetlerinden biri olan kent içi toplu taşıma hizmetinin özel sektör aracılığıyla yerine getirilmesinin vatandaş üzerindeki etkisi Ankara Büyükşehir Belediyesi örneğinde nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden betimsel ve yorumlayıcı yaklaşımla analiz edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda neoliberal dönüşümün Türkiye'yi etkilediği yıllarda Ankara Büyükşehir Belediyesi’nde faaliyet göstermeye başlayan “özel halk otobüsü” işletmeciliği örnekleminde özel sektör aracılığıyla yerine getirilen hizmetlerin vatandaş üzerindeki etkisinin günümüzdeki boyutu incelenmiş ve bu etkinin günümüzde derinleşerek devam ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Gençler arasında sigara, alkol ve uyuşturucu madde kullanım oranları artış göstermektedir. Bu durum hem halk sağlığını tehdit etmekte hem de bağımlılığa bağlı çeşitli toplumsal sorunları beraberinde getirmektedir. Risk grubunda olan lise öğrencilerinin bağımlılık yapıcı maddeleri kullanma oranlarını tespit etmek sorunun boyutunu görmek ve mücadelede izlenecek yolları belirlemek için önemlidir. Bu araştırmanın amacı lise öğrencilerinin sigara, alkol ve uyuşturucu madde kullanım yaygınlığını ve madde kullanımıyla ilişkili sosyo-demografik faktörleri ele almaktır. Bu amaçla Balıkesir’in Dursunbey ilçesinde altı lisede, 9. ve 10. sınıfa devam eden 679 öğrenciye anket uygulanmıştır. Anket formunda katılımcılara sigara, alkol ve uyuşturucu madde kullanımına dair soruların yanında, sınıf, cinsiyet, sosyoekonomik durum, sosyal çevresinde bulunan kişilerin sigara, alkol ve uyuşturucu madde kullanımları hakkında sorular sorulmuştur. Buna göre öğrencilerin bu maddeleri kullanımıyla cinsiyet, okul türü, sınıf, okul başarısı, aile ve yakın arkadaşların sigara, alkol ve uyuşturucu madde kullanımı arasında istatistiki olarak anlamlı ilişkiler bulunmuştur. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre öğrencilerin %22,1’i son 30 günde sigara içtiğini; %7,6’sı son 30 günde alkol içtiğini, %14,5’i hayatı boyunca en az bir kere nargile içtiğini ve %2,4’ü hayatı boyunca en az bir kere uyuşturucu madde kullandığını belirtmiştir. Katılımcıların %32’si ilk sigaralarını 7 ile 15 yaşları arasında denemiştir. Gençleri bağımlılık yapıcı maddelerden korumak için okul ve aile iş birliğini de içeren çok yönlü politikaların geliştirilmesi ve uygulanması gerekmektedir. Özellikle sportif, sanatsal, kültürel ve topluma yararlı faaliyetler aracılığıyla gençlerin kendilerini gerçekleştirmesi teşvik edilmelidir.
