Autistic children’s play has routinely been determined to deviate from accepted trajectories and patterns and is consistently interpreted as a deficit requiring remediation. An extensive review of the literature on functional play in autistic children led to the identification of 10 articles comparing autistic and typically developing children’s functional play patterns. Data were extracted regarding the duration, frequency, diversity, and integration of structured and free functional play in autistic children. The results indicated the majority of studies found that autistic children do engage in functional play. Significant differences were identified in the diversity and integration of autistic children’s functional play skills. The theory of monotropism is used to interpret these findings using a neurodiversity affirming approach. Using this approach, innovative intervention practices and areas for future research are discussed.

In today’s digital age, intrusion detection systems help protect IoT (Internet of Things) systems from harmful activities. This study presents a new method using fuzzy clustering and swarm intelligence to spot hackers in wireless networks. More dependence on internet systems has caused a rise in cybersecurity threats, making it clear that traditional security methods are not enough. Swarm intelligence combined with fuzzy logic in the suggested approach allows the system to create flexible clusters that can spot unusual traffic in a network. With swarm intelligence, finding optimal ways to group data is enhanced and fuzzy logic helps cope with cases where things are unclear or share similar traits. With this method, you see more accurate detection and fewer false alarms which works well in the complicated and various settings of IoT environments. It outlines the design, explains how the algorithm works and shows the outcomes of the simulation, verifying that the approach is successful in early threat detection and responding rapidly which helps make IoT security systems more secure.

Summary The objective of this study is to analyse the effect of financial inclusion on the development of the private sector in ECCAS countries. It considers a panel of eight (08) countries over the period 2005 - 2019. The data used are secondary and come from the World Development Indicators database. A regression using the fixed-effects method reveals, on the one hand, that available gross savings as a percentage of GDP has a positive effect on private gross fixed capital formation as a percentage of GDP and, on the other hand, that domestic credit to the private sector as a percentage of GDP has a positive effect on private gross fixed capital formation as a percentage of GDP. All in all, therefore, financial inclusion has a positive and significant effect on the development of the private sector in the eight ECCAS countries considered. It is therefore of the utmost importance to promote savings and access to credit on a large scale in order to finance the development of the private sector in the ECCAS countries, which will of course lead to economic growth.

The purpose of the research is to assess how financial literacy affects young people's well-being in accordance with the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). This research was designed to investigate how the theory's conception functions in the context of Indonesian youths, based on the theory's conceptual framework. The statistical analysis was performed on the sample of 150 respondents. To investigate this research idea, Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was selected. Financial well-being is positively impacted by one's financial attitude. Financial well-being is also influenced by financial behavior. However, financial knowledge has no impact on financial well-being. The research's findings contribute to the literature by adding another empirical confirmation from Indonesian youths' viewpoint. It offers useful information and provides youths with financial literacy skills. This research also contributes to the advancement of knowledge in relation to the financial literacy in youths. It could help governments to make decisions on youth financial well-being. Moreover, it highlights the direction which a government or policymaker can take to pursue youth financial literacy and its well-being.

O presente artigo busca analisar como investimento pessoal pode contribuir para o aumento da renda das pessoas físicas, em uma economia dinâmica, que apresenta diversos ativos, mas que se apresenta, para algumas pessoas, como um mercado inacessível. Como problema de pesquisa, o estudo traz a temática das finanças pessoais buscando entender, como o investimento pessoal pode auxiliar na formação renda mediante o crescente custo de vida, a instabilidade do mercado de trabalho e a volatilidade econômica? Para o alcance desse objetivo, o estudo investiga as diferentes opções de investimento disponíveis no Brasil, como renda fixa e variável, discutindo suas vantagens, desvantagens e níveis de risco. Além disso, destaca a importância da educação financeira para auxiliar os brasileiros na tomada de decisões financeiras mais assertivas. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa e bibliográfica, com foco em estudos já publicados e dados de instituições relevantes. Os principais achados mostram que muitos brasileiros possuem um conhecimento limitado sobre produtos financeiros mais complexos, o que pode restringir suas oportunidades de diversificação e maximização de retornos. A educação financeira é vista como um fator para melhorar a saúde financeira das pessoas, permitindo uma melhor gestão dos recursos, também evitando endividamento. O artigo conclui que a diversificação de investimentos, aliada ao aumento da alfabetização financeira, pode proporcionar maior segurança financeira e estabilidade. Sugere-se a criação de políticas públicas voltadas à educação financeira para capacitar a população, promovendo um futuro financeiro mais próspero.
