Research shows the use of learners’ L1 enables and channels the acquisition of L2/L3, for which Word Order serves as a canvas for learners to build the linguistic knowledge of any target language upon. This study tests the linguistic intuitions of participants in Basque with transitive constructions which involve full use of word order and morphological patterns necessary to test how participants elaborate their intuitions. Participants are newly-arrived migrants with no previous experience with Basque. Data obtained out of three tests —Comprehension Test, Production Test, and Grammaticality Judgment Test— shows that the layout and distribution of word order(s) and all functional and lexical categories as colored cutouts representing syntactic aspects of L1 and L2/L3 enables learners’ active manipulation of these different elements crosslinguistically, allowing them to build up their own syntactic knowledge comparatively with greater cognitive and syntactic efficiency, scarce errors, and accomplishing significantly higher motivational rates than in traditional settings. As colored cutouts act as visual enhancers of morphosyntactic patterns boosting cognitive efficiency, patterns become easier to internalize and higher motivation levels appear as frustration is reduced. Finally, perceived similarity between Basque as L2 or L3 and the participants’ L1 plays a key role, for which colored patterns have the role of facilitating the participants’ predictions with English as a filter, increasing metalinguistic awareness and competence.

Perception throughout the negotiating process is influenced by culture. One element that is frequently disregarded in international commercial discussions is the complexity of human perception. We are aware that culture shapes perception and that each of us processes and interprets the world through a cultural lens. Perception affects how we communicate, and our views about ourselves and other people mirror these communication experiences. Our cultural experiences in daily encounters are the source of the social component of social cognitions. However, we frequently overlook the impact of culture in our discussions. Once the role that perception may play in the negotiation process is recognized, it becomes easier to comprehend the intricate communication process involved in negotiations, particularly those involving international company. Our views of ourselves and other people are influenced by culture. Different behaviors are interpreted or viewed differently in different cultures. We must examine how perception affects the negotiating process more thoroughly if we hope to comprehend the dynamics of unsuccessful international commercial negotiations. In particular, consider how faulty viewpoints could ultimately prevent consensus.

Cancer is a multifactorial disease, therefore it is difficult to identify the specific agents responsible for its progression and development, but lifestyle and nutrition have been shown to play an important role. Several natural compounds, especially plant extracts, are demonstrating efficacy in the development of new cancer therapies, among these compounds sulforaphane is the most studied. But one of the main challenges with sulforaphane treatment is its low solubility and oral bioavailability. Several carriers are being studied to overcome these difficulties. Sulforaphane (SFN) is an isothiocyanate derived from cruciferous vegetables, particularly broccoli, known for its powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Emerging evidence suggests that sulforaphane acts primarily through the activation of the transcription factor Nrf2, a crucial modulator of the antioxidant response and cellular detoxification. Preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that sulforaphane has beneficial effects on several diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic disorders. In this publication, we review the molecular mechanisms of sulforaphane, its therapeutic effects in various clinical settings, and provide an analysis of the most recent case studies that support its use in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases.

There exists an analogical relationship between ecosystems and securities markets. The concept of an ecosystem in the context of capital markets pertains to the intricate relationships and interactions among diverse participants and their surrounding environments. The dynamics of competition and cooperation, transparency, and stability within the securities market are pivotal factors influencing market health and efficiency. This paper undertakes an analysis of the competitive and cooperative dynamics among three securities companies: CITIC Securities, GF Securities, and First Capital Securities, utilizing the three-species Lotka-Volterra model in conjunction with the grey estimation method. The study selects the quarterly operating revenue market share from 2015 to 2023 as the indicator and empirically predicts the evolutionary trends of the market shares of these three companies. The findings reveal that, despite the presence of predatory or competitive relationships in the short term, in the long run, the three companies will coexist in the market, occupying market shares of 13.14%, 6.52%, and 0.67%, respectively. Ultimately, the paper proposes that securities companies should adopt differentiation strategies, deepen supply-side reforms, and augment their service quality. Concurrently, the government should recalibrate policy orientations, strengthen information disclosure obligations, and foster market transparency and stable development.

Within the Moringaceae family, Moringa oleifera is a tree that grows quickly and can withstand drought. Some common names for the tree are horseradish, drumstick, wonder, ben oil, and just Moringa. The plant may thrive in a wide range of environments, even hostile ones. The plant is utilized as a natural integrator to treat malnutrition because of its high phytonutrient concentration. Primary and secondary metabolites from several types of organic substances are abundant in plants, according to phytochemical analyses of their organs. The plant's ability to treat a number of illnesses and its nutraceutical qualities were validated by pharmacological research. This paper emphasizes on the phytochemicals which makes this plant beneficials to the humans. Terpenoids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, Steroids, alkaloids, and glycosides were among the phytochemicals that were examined in the alcoholic extracts of M. oleifera leaves. Results showed that M. oleifera leaves produced glycosides, tannins, alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, and saponin.
