Discrimination of rippled spectra in listeners with hearing loss at two experimental paradigms
Authors: Nechaev D. I. , Milekhina O. N. , Tomozova M. S. , Supin A. Ya. 
Published: April 2024

Frequency resolving power (FRP) of hearing was measured in listeners 30 to 82 years old as a maximal resolved ripple density (ripples/oct) of rippled-spectrum signals. The rippled-spectrum signal should be distinguished either from another rippled signal with different positions of ripples on the frequency scale or from a “flat”-spectrum signal with no spectral ripples. Signals had either 2-oct wide frequency band centered at 1, 2, or 4 kHz, or had a wide frequency band 0.125–8 kHz. Listeners older than 60 had substantially increased tonal thresholds (haring loss). If the listener should distinguish a rippled test signal from a rippled reference signal, FRP correlated with the tonal threshold: the higher threshold, the lower FRP. For all the signals, the trend of the dependence was from –0.04 to –0.07 ripples/oct·dB. It is suggested that in this case, the test and reference signals were discriminated by the spectral mechanism and depended on the interrelation between the ripple density and acuteness of the frequency-tuned filters. If the listener should distinguish the ripple test signal from a flat reference signal, the FRP dependence on tonal threshold was not statistically significant for 2-oct-wide signals on condition that the signal level was above threshold. Or the wide-band signal, the FRP dependence on tonal threshold was statistically significant with a trend of –1.23 ripples/oct·dB. It is suggested that in this case, the test and reference signal were discriminated by the temporal-processing mechanism and depended on the perceived frequency range.

We studied the features of speech signals perception in conditions of vocal competition based on gender (male/female voice) in subjects of different ages and status of auditory and speech functions. Psychophysical measurements were carried out while simulating a “speech cocktail” situation by simultaneously pronounced different words by a male and female. The average fundamental voice frequency for the male speaker was 108 ± 5.92 Hz, for the female speaker – 185 ± 12.03 Hz. Both speakers were standard native speakers of the Russian language. Digital recordings of speech signals were equalized in intensity and compounded so that the total test stimulus was a synchronized mixture of words spoken by a male (M) and female (F) voice. Test speech signals were presented through headphones or through a speaker located in front of the auditor at a distance of 50 cm. The indicators of reaction time and the number of correct recognitions of words of the target speaker (M or F) were compared in 4 groups of subjects of different ages and hearing or speech status: adult subjects with normal hearing and speech (n = 35) and with hearing impaired (n = 26); schoolchildren with normotypical development (n = 26) and with speech disorders (n = 25). The results indicated a falling in the ability to segrerate target speech streams under conditions of vocal competition in the subjects with hearing and speech dysfunctions included in the comparative study. Differences in the perception of male and female voices in subjects with hearing loss and with speech problems were obtained. This result may have a biological and social basis. The data have practical significance for the development of a system of auditory and speech training and modern hearing aid technologies.

Authors: Ogorodnikova E. A. , Klishova E. A. , Andreeva I. G. 
Published: April 2024

The overview presents modern experimental approaches that are used to assess the ability to localize sound sources by distance in hearing pathology. The influence of the typical manifestations of hearing impairment on the processes of identifying the main localization cues – the signal level, the spectral features, binaural characteristics in auditory perception of the distance to stationary and moving sound or speech sources is considered. The review introduce to the results of the authors' own research and literature data on changes in hearing resolution by distance in sensorineural hearing loss, unilateral hearing loss, central auditory disorders, including age-related aspects of the problem. The compensatory potential of the auditory spatial function in non-invasive and invasive hearing aids, as well as its training with elements of acoustic virtual reality, is described. A methodical approach to forming of spatial scenes available for implementation in clinical practice is proposed.

Published: April 2024

The age-appropriate development of the central auditory system is crucial for a child’s normal auditory and speech development. If there are any issues with this development, it can lead to central auditory processing disorders (APD) and problems with psychoverbal and general development. Psychoacoustic testing is an informative and accessible diagnostic tool for identifying signs of APD. This testing can be performed on children as young as four years old, provided there are normative data available for different age groups. The purpose of this study was to assess the functional state of the central auditory system using psychoacoustic methods in healthy children of different ages. Materials Methods. We examined 125 healthy full-term children between the ages of 4 and 17 years who had normal peripheral hearing and no speech, language, cognitive, or academic problems. The children were divided into five age groups: 4–5 years 11 months, 6–7 years 11 months, 8–9 years 11 months, 10–11 years 11 months, and 12 years and older. In addition to traditional audiological examinations, all children underwent tests to assess the functional state of the central parts of the auditory system, including tests for the perception of rhythmic sequences of stimuli, Random Gap Detection Test, monaural low redundant speech testing in quiet and in noise, alternating binaural speech testing, dichotic digits test, and a simplified version of the Russian matrix sentence test in noise (RUMatrix). The results showed that the tests used were sensitive to the functional state of various structures of the central auditory system, and signs of maturation in the “bottom-up” direction were demonstrated as the children grew older. The rate of evolutionary processes varied depending on the age group of the subjects. It was also shown that the morphofunctional development of the central auditory system is not completed by adolescence. Conclusion. These findings can be used to differentiate between the immaturity of the central auditory system, APD, and speech-language disorders of different types in children of different ages. Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of early detection and intervention for any issues related to the central auditory system in children.
Syntactic Semantics in Surah Al-Qasas
Authors: Abdullah Naatiq Najm 
Published: April 2024

The Holy Quran, a book of guidance, uses language as its medium and has managed to elevate it from general usage to specific semantic significance. Its language is miraculous in usage, not in structure; because the latter is the domain of all who speak this language. This represents one of the most complex stages that provoke debate and evoke feeling, making the relationships in the language of the Holy Quran primarily relationships of meanings.
Given that the syntactic level is one of the most active levels in expressing the semantics of words through the syntactic relationships that link them with others within structures, it has become an important axis in the study of meaning. Hence, the idea of studying syntactic semantics in Surah Al-Qasas emerged due to its importance in linguistic studies. The research was divided into three discussions, concluded with a summary.
The first discussion was dedicated to studying the topics of definiteness and indefiniteness, addressing their definitions linguistically and terminologically, along with explaining the semantics of each. Surah Al-Qasas includes various implications of indefiniteness such as “the intention of informing to affirm the predicate to the subject without the desire for a specific reference or specification, the intention of generality and absoluteness, magnification, exaggeration, disregard and mockery, and denial,” while the implications of definiteness in the Surah were the subject of research.

Published: April 2024

The agricultural sector plays a paramount role in the economy of the United States, contributing significantly to the GDP and affirming sustainability for American residents. This study explored the application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques in maximizing crop yields in America. This research employed various software tools, comprising Python programming language, Pandas library for data manipulation and analysis, Scikit-learn library for machine learning models and evaluation metrics, and LIME library for explainable AI. The crop yield datasets for the current research were sourced from Kaggle. This dataset provided substantial insights regarding crop cultivation practices within the USA context. This study proposes the "XAI-CROP" algorithm, which is a novel explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) model developed particularly to reinforce the interpretability, transparency and trustworthiness of crop recommendation systems (CRS). From the experimentation, the XAI-CROP model excelled at forecasting crop yield, as demonstrated by its lowest MSE value of 0.9412, suggesting minimal errors. Besides, Its MAE of 0.9874 suggests an average error of less than 1 unit in forecasting crop yield. Furthermore, the R2 value of 0.94152 suggests that the algorithm accounts for 94.15% of the data's variability.
