Is transmutation of elements and nuclear transmutation are same?

Transmutation of elements generally refers to changing one element into another by altering the number of protons in the nucleus, while nuclear transmutation specifically refers to inducing such changes through nuclear reactions (such as bombarding a nucleus with particles). In this sense, nuclear transmutation is a type of transmutation of elements.
