, experiential rather than theoretical, and continuous rather than static. This understanding directly challenges Ananse's assumption that wisdom can be collected, contained, and permanently secured within a single entity. Instead, it reveals knowledge as something inherently relational and dynamic. Communal Transmission When the gourd breaks and "the wisdom contained in it escapes and spreads throughout the world," the narrative enacts a decisive symbolic reversal that restores the logic of the hearthstone . The circulation of wisdom signifies the failure of containment and the reactivation of knowledge . Wisdom is n o longer confined to a single authority or object; wisdom returns to the social space where it originally derives meaning . The hearthstone functions as a metaphor for collective learning, oral transmission and knowledge on transmission across generations. All of which depend on participation rather than possession. Unlike the gourd, which isolates and centralizes knowledge, the hearth operates as a gathering point where people come together, and through this togetherness, knowledge is continuously produced , reshaped and deserminated . Knowledge, therefore, is not treated as a fixed object but as a relational process , thus something sustained through interaction, dialogue, and shared experience. This reinforces the idea that wisdom gains its meaning not through containment, but through its ongoing life within the community. Sustenance and Survival The hearthstone is fundamentally tied to food, caregiving, and survival, making it a symbol of knowledge as sustenance rather than abstraction. It transforms raw materials into nourishment, just as communal knowledge transforms lived experience into practical wisdom that supports everyday life. In this sense, the hearthstone reframes knowledge as something that is essential for daily survival, linked to continuity, and grounded in the material realities of the community, rather than detached intellectual possession. Within this symbolic contrast, Ananse's gourd represents knowledge as power to be controlled and restricted, whereas the hearthstone represents knowledge as nourishment to be shared and sustained. The shift from containment to circulation marks a deeper epistemological reorientation , meaning wisdom is meaningful not when it is hoarded, but when it actively contributes to human flourishing. The "light" of the hearthstone, therefore, lies in the recognition that knowledge must serve life, not dominate it, and that its true value emerges through its capacity to sustain and connect the community. Female-Centred Space (Women as Custodians of Culture) The hearth is traditionally a female-centred space, and Okonore Yaa is constructed symbolically . She embodies this domain as a site of cultural continuity and relational knowledge. While Ananse operates in isolation, attempting to control and centralize wisdom, the hearth functions through inclusion, care, and continuity, positioning knowledge as something that emerges through shared participation rather than individual possession. Within this symbolic framework, women become custodians of cultural memory and practice, sustaining knowledge through lived, everyday activities. This includes preserving traditions through storytelling, transmitting communal values through domestic life, and maintaining the social fabric through forms of care work that are often undervalued in hierarchical systems of knowledge. Unlike Ananse's model of authority, which depends on exclusion and intellectual dominance, the hearth represents a form of epistemic practice rooted in relationality and collective responsibility. In this way, the hearthstone directly challenges the patriarchal logic embodied by Ananse's gourd, where authority is centralized and knowledge is restricted. The " Reflection " At the centre of your argument, the "reflection" between Ananse's gourd and Okonore Yaa's hearthstone is not a simple opposition but a mirroring that exposes and corrects imbalance. The gourd does not merely stand against the hearthstone . It reveals what happens when knowledge is pushed to an extreme , when it is removed from life, concentrated in one figure, and turned into an instrument of control . The gourd hides, sealing wisdom away from human reach, while the hearthstone reveals, bringing knowledge into the open through everyday practices like cooking and storytelling. What Ananse attempts to conceal, the hearth makes visible and accessible. At the same time, the gourd centralizes knowledge within a single authority, reinforcing hierarchy and dependence, whereas the hearthstone distributes it across the community, allowing multiple participants to contribute to and reshape understanding. Knowledge, in this reflective structure, shifts from being a possession to being a shared process.

Proverbs are an essential component of a nation's cultural heritage, reflecting the wisdom, beliefs, traditions, and worldview of its people. Similes, as one of the most expressive stylistic devices, frequently appear in proverbs to create vivid imagery and convey moral lessons effectively. This article examines the linguocultural aspects of similes in English and Uzbek proverbs, highlighting their semantic, cultural, and cognitive features. Through comparative analysis, the study reveals both universal human values and culture-specific characteristics embedded in similes. The findings demonstrate that while English and Uzbek proverbs share common conceptual patterns, they differ significantly in the cultural symbols and images used to express similar ideas.

This report presents a comprehensive benchmarking framework for evaluating machinery used in lithium-ion battery cell production. A detailed catalogue comprising 95 machines—spanning laboratory, pilot, and production scales—was developed using data from public sources, project partners, and commercial platforms. The majority of machines originate from Chinese manufacturers due to greater data availability, while European machines are underrepresented owing to limited specification disclosure. To objectively compare machines across diverse process steps—from slurry mixing to cell aging—a pairwise comparison methodology was employed to assess the relative importance of technical parameters. These weights were then applied in normalization equations to compute performance scores for each machine. A rescaled weighting method was introduced to accommodate incomplete data, ensuring robust comparison even when certain specifications were missing. The resulting framework enables transparent, scalable, and data-driven evaluation of battery production machinery, supporting strategic decision-making and technology benchmarking throughout the project lifecycle.

Abstract This work presents a simple, efficient, and eco‑friendly method for synthesizing Amidoalkyl naphthol derivatives via a one‑pot multicomponent condensation. The reaction employs three easily accessible substrates—2‑naphthol, aromatic aldehydes and urea under reflux in the presence of a biocatalyst prepared from Eucalyptus Albens leaf powder. The biocatalytic strategy significantly shortened reaction times, delivered high yields (75–86%) and avoided the use of corrosive mineral acids or transition‑metal catalysts. The process was evaluated in different solvent proving most effective, affording yield. The resulting compounds were confirmed through melting point analysis and infrared spectroscopy. By utilizing plant‑derived biocatalysts, this protocol adheres to green chemistry principles, offering a non‑toxic, biodegradable, and cost‑effective route to pharmacologically relevant naphthol‑based frameworks.

This dataset was collected as part of a prospective intervention study evaluating the effects of a six-month supervised exercise program on selected hormones involved in glucose homeostasis and appetite regulation in women aged 50 years and older. Participants Sixty women aged 50 years and older participated in the study. 47 women were included in the intervention group and 13 women constituted the control group. Intervention The intervention consisted of supervised exercise sessions performed twice weekly over a period of six months. Participants in the control group maintained their usual lifestyle throughout the study. Data collection Participants were examined twice: at baseline (before the intervention) and after completion of the six-month study period. The following assessments were performed: ·         anthropometric measurements (body height and body weight), ·         body composition assessment using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA; Lunar Prodigy, GE Healthcare), ·         dietary assessment using a three-day food records, ·         fasting blood sampling for biochemical analyses. Laboratory analyses Blood samples were collected after an overnight fast. Concentrations of selected biomarkers involved in glucose metabolism and appetite regulation were determined using commercially available MILLIPLEX® Multiplex Assays based on magnetic bead technology. The analysed biomarkers included: glucose, insulin, C-peptide, amylin, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), ghrelin, leptin, secretin. The Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated from fasting glucose and insulin concentrations. Data processing The dataset contains anonymized participant-level data collected before and after the intervention. Variables include demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, DXA-derived body composition parameters, dietary intake variables, biochemical measurements, and derived variables used in statistical analyses (e.g., changes between baseline and follow-up measurements). All personal identifiers were removed prior to data sharing to ensure participant confidentiality.
