• Autoerastie — A rare form of psychosexual manifestation or behavioral deviation where erotic attraction, desire, and satisfaction are directed exclusively toward oneself; sexual narcissism taken to the extreme, where the individual becomes their own object of worship and bodily passion.
• Self-training — A conscious, voluntary, and continuous process through which a person acquires, develops, and refines their knowledge, skills, professional competences, and character traits through self-effort, independent study, and introspection, independent of a rigid institutionalized framework or direct teaching guidance.
• Self-improvement — The act of self-improving and its result; a voluntary and conscious process of self-education, development, and optimization of one's own intellectual, moral, or professional structures. In modern human resource management, it represents a highly valued key competency reflecting an employee's ability to autonomously manage their own evolution and adapt quickly to labor market shifts.
• Self-actualization — The act of self-actualizing or capitalizing on oneself and its result; the conscious and systematic process through which a person recognizes, develops, and leverages their own potential, skills, knowledge, or talents to achieve social, professional recognition, or spiritual and material fulfillment.
• Auxology — An interdisciplinary branch of biology and medicine (particularly pediatrics and anthropology) that deals with the complex scientific study of the processes of growth, physical development, and maturation of the human organism or other living organisms, analyzing genetic, environmental, and endocrine factors.
• Auxological — Belonging to auxology or auxanology, relating to the scientific study of human growth and development; specific to the evaluation and monitoring of physical and somatic parameters in children and adolescents throughout biological maturation stages.
• Auxology — An interdisciplinary science that studies the processes of growth, somatic development, and physical maturation of living organisms, particularly of the human being; a field closely linked to pediatrics and endocrinology, analyzing genetic, neuroendocrine, and environmental factors influencing body dynamics from birth to adulthood.
• Auxomery — A structural type or rare biological variation characterized by the unequal division or multiplication of chromosomal segments or metameric structures, leading to a macroscopic differentiation in the growth rate and enlargement of homologous organs of the same plant or living organism.
• Auxonomic — Belonging or relating to the laws, mechanisms, and rules governing the growth and structural development processes of living organisms or complex dynamic systems; relating to auxonomy.
• Auxonomy — The set of laws, rules, or mathematical and biological principles governing the growth, volumetric expansion, and structural development processes of living organisms or complex dynamic systems; the theoretical study of the evolutionary kinetics of tissue dimensions.
• Auxopathic — Relating to or characterized by anomalies, disorders, or pathological dysfunctions of the body's physical growth and development process (such as dwarfism or gigantism); relating to morbid alterations of auxology.
• Auxopathy — A general term used in clinical practice to denote any medical disorder, abnormality, or pathological condition affecting the process of physical growth and somatic development in the human body, caused by genetic, endocrine, nutritional, or environmental factors.
• Growth therapy — A medical method or therapeutic protocol focused on treating severe physical and stature development deficiencies in children and adolescents, primarily consisting of the controlled administration of growth hormone and the optimization of nutritional factors to stimulate skeletal elongation.
• National progress — An expression denoting the accelerated progress, generalized development, and constructive surge of a nation in economic, cultural, social, or military fields; in Romanian history, the phrase carries a specific meaning, being the official title of the 'Avântul Țării' Medal, instituted in 1913 by King Carol I to reward participants in the Bulgarian Campaign. In a modern sense, it describes a period of boom, structural modernization, or national revival.
• National drive — Archaic spelling for 'avântul țării'; a phrase or slogan frequently used in political, economic, or patriotic speeches of the last century to designate rapid progress, accelerated structural development, industrial modernization, and the economic or cultural emancipation of a nation.
• Abortion — The premature termination of pregnancy before the fetus is viable (capable of independent survival outside the uterine environment), resulting in the expulsion or extraction of the product of conception from the uterus. Clinically and etiologically, it is classified into spontaneous abortion (miscarriage caused by genetic anomalies, endocrine dysfunctions, or biological traumas) and induced abortion (voluntary termination of gestation carried out through medical or surgical procedures).
• Azygospore — A zygospore formed atypically through parthenogenesis from a single gametangium, without the prior fusion of two distinct sexual reproductive cells; a plant structure or organism characterized by producing such unpaired spores.
• Azygospore — A thick-walled spore formed atypically from a single unfertilized gametangium, without the prior fusion of homologous gametangia; it represents a zygospore resulting from parthenogenesis in certain lower fungi and algae, serving as a resistance form under unfavorable environmental conditions.
