Abstract: Building upon the simple view of reading, this study investigates how listening comprehension subcomponents (vocabulary, morphology, syntax) affect reading comprehension in Arabic, Hebrew, and English. Focusing on 9 to 13-year-old typical and dyslexic learners, it examines the individual and combined roles of these subcomponents in second (Hebrew) and third (English) language contexts Through tasks assessing vocabulary, morphological awareness, and syntactic knowledge, the study highlights the significant contributions of these subcomponents to reading comprehension. A notable finding is the strong link between vocabulary and morphological awareness, especially in English. These insights provide valuable implications for educational strategies in multilingual environments.

Abstract: This article contextualizes glossolalia and xenolalia within Mocombe’s consciousness field theory. The work seeks to outline the origins of the two religious phenomena as revealed in Pentecostal and charismatic Catholic traditions in particular within consciousness field theory thereby giving a scientific, psychological, and sociological justification for them. The work posits that both phenomena within Mocombe’s consciousness field theory are the product of : 1) the frequency wavelength of a simultaneous existing version of the utterer in a different consciousness field in the multiverse; 2) the frequency wavelength of a deceased person or ancestor from the absolute vacuum as found in spiritual embodiment in Haitian Vodou; and/or 3) the frequency wavelength of a reincarnated version of the utterer from a different consciousness field they may have experienced in a past life. Both phenomena (glossolalia and xenolalia) would occur in religious ecstasy, singing, and dancing when the brain is operating in theta and delta brainwave synchronization.

Abstract: In the context of the pandemic, the increase in the use of Artificial Intelligence was due to social distancing and confinement policies. In this sense, strategic planners built a system based on AI, although the exploration and analysis of the dimensions has been carried out from the reasons and motives for use, the objective of this work was to establish the feelings and opinions around the strategic alliance in AI and planning. A documentary, cross-sectional and exploratory study was carried out with a sample of 20 experts, selected by their impact index H reported in Google Scholar. The results suggest the prevalence of four dimensions related to eleven categories concerning AI and its relationship with PE in the context of the pandemic.

Abstract: NPSDs are among the principal sources of disability worldwide, yet there is still a lack of sufficient efficacy and target engagement of existing medications. The limitation is mainly associated with poor targeting capacity of pharmacotherapy and delays and incomplete responses in treatment. It is due to a considerable incongruity between systemic delivery methods and brain architecture characterized by specific features of its neurobiological organization. This study considers the problem of drug delivery in the context of modern approaches to treatment of neuropsychiatric conditions. We discuss the use of nanotechnologies for targeted drug delivery in neuropsychiatry as both a scientific concept and a method. Preclinical and translational data regarding mechanisms of enhancement of drug bioavailability, regional targeting, and lowering systemic exposure are considered. Among limitations are potential neurotoxicity and uneven biodistribution. A shortage of randomized controlled trials also limits the possibilities for further research. The key idea is that nanotechnologies can provide an innovative approach to spatiotemporal drug delivery in the brain.

Abstract: Aims. To establish the gender-specific cut-off value of phosphatidylethanol (PEth) concentration in the blood for detecting alcohol dependence. Methodology. Using the method of high-performance liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC - MS), the concentration of PEth in the blood of 127 alcohol-dependent men and 25 alcohol-dependent women undergoing hospital treatment was determined. To assess the diagnostic accuracy and to establish the gender-specific cut-off values of PEth concentration, a ROC (receiver operating characteristic) analysis was performed. Statistical data processing was carried out using the Statistica 10.0 program. Results. ROC analysis identified a cut-off value of 495 ng/ml for men and 385 ng/ml for women, above which the likelihood of alcohol dependence was high. At this cut-off value, the model demonstrated strong performance with sensitivity of 99% and 100%, specificity of 96% and 98%, PPV of 98% and 96%, and NPV of 98% and 100% for men and women respectively. Conclusion. The results of the study indicate the high diagnostic reliability of PEth as a biochemical marker of alcohol dependence. Gender-specific cut-off values of PEth should be taken into account when using this biochemical marker in the detection of alcohol dependence.
